The firing of Commander-in-Chief Syrsky hasn’t quelled the large protests.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the reshuffle that Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky has implemented in his government, after the US ambassador resigned under suspicion of corruption, as you can read in Zelensky’s Latest Government Reshuffle Was Triggered by New Incoming Corruption Scandal – Ukrainian Ambassador to the US Olga Stefanishyna Will Reportedly Be Charged.

During the shakeup, Zelensky committed an unforced error that is costing him dearly.

Because he could not get top General Oleksandr Syrsky and Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, ‘Vova’ decided to sack the young minister, as you can read in Zelensky Fires ‘Reformist’ Defense Minister Fedorov, and Now There’s Reported Turmoil in the Ukrainian Military.

Large protests followed: Second Day of Protests in Kiev After Zelensky Dismisses Defense Minister Fedorov – Demonstrators Demand Firing of Top General Syrsky (VIDEOS).

Zelensky, under pressure, ended up firing Syrsky – so that should be the end of it, right?

Wrong.

The fallout from Fedorov’s firing continues to reverberate all over the country.

BBC reported:

“Fedorov’s mostly young supporters are still mounting daily street protests, demanding that Zelensky reinstate the popular young innovator widely credited with driving much of Ukraine’s recent technological innovation.

On Thursday, Fedorov said he had rejected Zelensky’s offers of alternative posts in government, saying there were only three positions worth having to influence the course of the war: minister of defense, commander-in-chief of the military or president of Ukraine. ‘If you don’t have a ministry under you, you don’t have a budget’, ex-deputy defense minister Alina Frolova said, ‘and you don’t actually have the authority to do something’.”

Fedorov making a reference to the presidency may be a sign that he sees himself as a rival to Zelensky.

“Ironically, for a president whose youth and apparent dynamism propelled him to power in 2019, Zelensky seems to have misjudged the mood of young Ukrainians, eager for their leaders – political and military – to represent their values and aspirations.

‘It’s quite natural that people want to see someone who is a warrior against corruption, who is very modern, who is young,” Oleksandr Merezhko, an MP from Zelensky’s Servant of the People party, said.”

Illegal immigration has been at epidemic levels in the United States, thanks to the reckless Biden administration over the previous four years. An estimated 15 million illegals poured into the US during that time, with an open border invitation.

The media largely downplayed or just ignored the invasion while it was happening in real time. Numerous videos showed countless people invading our country with no end in sight.

That all changed when President Trump came back into office in January 2025. He immediately sealed the border with a strong CBP presence, making it one of his greatest accomplishments of his Presidency.

It will take years to remove the millions of illegal aliens within the interior of the nation.

Texas DPS has done great work in tracking and capturing illegal aliens within their state. Earlier this month, DPS agents, along with their K-9, were able to track a criminal illegal alien MS-13 gang member hiding in the brush.

Bryan Oswaldo Bustillo Mejía, from El Salvador, attempting to evade capture, was found by the DPS in the brush in Uvalde County after a five-mile trek.

US Central Command announced on Saturday that US forces disabled another oil tanker sailing toward Iran for violating the US Navy blockade of Iranian ports. 

Video from the mission released by CENTCOM shows US forces conducting a “verification boarding” on a Comoros-flagged tanker in the Arabian Sea and attacking a Mozambique-flagged tanker in the Gulf of Oman after it “attempted to violate the blockade multiple times.”

WATCH:

The disabled tanker is “no longer transiting to Iran,” and the Comoros-flagged tanker is “now continuing its journey,” CENTCOM announced.

US Central Command said in a statement on Saturday,

The U.S. naval blockade against Iran remains in full effect. As of July 25, CENTCOM has redirected 12 commercial vessels trying to run the blockade, disabled 2 that didn’t comply, and boarded 2 to ensure total compliance.

Earlier today, U.S. forces completed a verification boarding aboard Comoros-flagged M/T Charminar in the Arabian Sea, and the tanker is now continuing its journey.

CENTCOM forces disabled Mozambique-flagged M/T Lavine in the Gulf of Oman, July 24, after the crew attempted to violate the blockade multiple times and ignored repeated warnings. The ship is no longer transiting to Iran.

American forces remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.

Meanwhile, Iran said it stopped four tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz by firing “warning shots” on Saturday.  “Four vessels that had intended to transit through the southern area of the Strait of Hormuz via an illegal and unsafe route were stopped over the past 24 hours after warning shots were fired by the IRGC Navy,” the IRGC said on Saturday.

This comes after US forces on Thursday completed a 13th consecutive night of attacks against Iranian military capabilities in and around the Strait of Hormuz since the fighting resumed earlier this month.

Video from CENTCOM shows the most recent attacks from the nearly two-week-long airstrike campaign:

There were no new bombings on Friday, which would have been the 14th consecutive night of strikes.

Minnesota’s radical gender experiment is now targeting the playroom.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported earlier this month that a controversial program developed at the University of Minnesota Medical School is preparing to make so-called “MyGender Dolls” available to educators, school counselors, clinicians, pediatricians, and mental-health providers working with children between the ages of four and ten.

The dolls, which mimic classic paper dolls but allow children to swap out genitals, reproductive organs, clothing, hairstyles, and accessories, are being marketed as a “therapeutic” tool “grounded in gender-affirming clinical practices.”

The paper dolls reportedly have gender-neutral names, including Sam, Rory, Avery, and Parker, according to the New York Post.

According to the project’s website, they are intended to help children ages 4–10 “visualize their anatomy and genders” and “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be.”

Prototypes have already been tested on young children. University researchers previously paid “transgender and gender diverse” kids ages 5–10 and their parents $20 to $60 to participate in sessions using the dolls.

The project originated at the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health (formerly the Program in Human Sexuality).

It is now being commercialized as MyGender Dolls and made available to teachers, school counselors, pediatricians, and mental health providers.

According to the university’s 2024 annual report:

MYGENDER DOLLS: A TOOL FOR THERAPISTS

Several of our research and scholarship projects meld art and science. We have made substantial progress on the MyGender Dolls project, a set of therapeutic tools intended for licensed therapists to use with patients and their parents or caregivers, to help children who find it difficult to express themselves.

Research and development is ongoing, and has been made possible by generous grant and donation support. We used community-engaged approaches to revise both the dolls and the therapeutic tools that are used in conjunction with them. We are working with offices at the University in order to bring this innovation to clinical spaces!

The university’s medical school allegedly receives $15 million annually in state funding under Gov. Tim Walz’s administration, money earmarked to boost research capacity.

Walz himself received the institute’s inaugural “Distinguished Sexual and Gender Health Champion Award” in 2023 and has been photographed smiling alongside one of the project’s co-founders.

The New York Post reported:

The University of Minnesota’s Medical School has been receiving $15 million annual funding from the state via Walz — cash earmarked to “increase the medical school’s research capacity” and “ensure its national prominence.”

But the school doesn’t report how much it funnels to its Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, which has a total research budget of $1.4 million, according to its 2025 annual report.

Walz, who’s pushed pro-transgender policies on the Midwestern state, was bestowed the institute’s inaugural “Distinguished Sexual and Gender Health Champion Award” in 2023, a title created just for him.

The scandal-plagued governor was even pictured with a wide grin alongside Medical School Associate Professor Nic Rider — co-founder of MyGender Dolls, which is bringing the radical dolls to market.

Rider, a psychologist who specializes in children and teen transgender health, goes by they/them pronouns, according to a bio on the medical school’s website.

Employees and senior officials at the Citizens Research Council of Michigan have a documented history of supporting Democratic candidates, participating in Democratic primaries, and criticizing Republican political figures, raising questions about the organization’s frequent portrayal in the media as a neutral, nonpartisan authority.

A research memo based on federal campaign finance records found that all identified political donations made by CRC employees went to Democratic candidates or progressive political organizations.

The contributions totaled approximately $1,285 and benefited candidates including Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Rashida Tlaib, Elissa Slotkin, and Kristen McDonald Rivet. Donations also went to Justice Democrats and the No Dem Left Behind political action committee.

The review identified no contributions to Republican candidates or conservative political committees.

Political participation records cited in the memo also show a Democratic pattern among members of CRC’s senior staff.

CRC President Eric Lupher has reportedly participated in approximately twice as many Democratic primaries as Republican primaries. Research Director Craig Thiel participated in both Democratic primaries conducted in 2024, according to the records.

Vice President of Development Rhonda Parker and Communications Director Maureen McNulty Saxton have participated in Democratic primaries but have no identified history of voting in a Republican primary, the memo found.

Public comments by senior CRC personnel have also reflected opposition to prominent Republicans.

Lupher previously referred to President Donald Trump as “Mein Fuhrer Herr Trump.” Saxton has shared social media posts mocking Trump and accusing Republicans of making political arguments in “bad faith.”

CRC describes itself as a privately funded, nonprofit public affairs research organization that provides “factual, unbiased, independent information” on issues affecting Michigan.

News organizations frequently identify the council as nonpartisan when citing its research or criticism of state policymakers.

CRC’s financial support has also come from major philanthropic organizations frequently associated with progressive policy initiatives.

Publicly available records show that the Ford Foundation provided CRC with $375,000 between 2021 and 2024. The organization has also received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Kresge Foundation, the Skillman Foundation and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation.

The Ford Foundation has separately faced scrutiny over grants made to entities in China. A Washington Examiner investigation reported that the foundation had provided nearly $10 million since 2020 to Chinese government entities and organizations with links to the Chinese Communist Party.

Those grants reportedly supported state-controlled universities, government agencies and programs connected to China’s international investment strategy.

Questions about CRC’s political background have become more significant as the organization has criticized Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall and the Republican-controlled House.

House Republicans have promoted their work on the state budget as an effort to reduce spending, eliminate unnecessary programs, and impose additional transparency requirements.

They have also pursued legislation intended to restrict entities associated with foreign adversaries, including China, from purchasing Michigan farmland. This important work has been undermined by the CRC’s reporting by Democrat donors.

The available records indicate that CRC is not institutionally detached from Michigan’s political debates. Far from it—its employees have overwhelmingly supported Democrats in the political activity identified by the research memo, while senior officials have publicly criticized Republican figures. The facts show that the CRC’s impartiality is little more than a front designed to detract from their left-wing partisan agenda.
