On July 22, 2026, the names of the 4 Service Members who were killed in action in the Iran Conflict have been released. ABCNews has provided the following information about these Service Members:
1st Lieutenant Tyler Feehan
He enlisted in the Army in 2019 as a combat engineer with the Hawaii Army National Guard, according to the service. He later commissioned from Brigham Young University as an active-duty Air Defense Artillery Officer in 2024. He was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. . . . Feehan will be posthumously promoted to captain, according to the service.
Sergeant Michael Swinton
Army Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, died Sunday following the controlled detonation of a downed Iranian attack drone at Erbil Air Base in Iraq, the Army said. . . . Swinton was assigned to D Battery, 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He served as an early warning systems operator, responsible for detecting, tracking and reporting incoming enemy threats to help protect U.S. forces from missile and drone attacks. It remains unclear what led to Swinton’s death. The use of controlled detonations is a common practice among trained explosive ordnance disposal teams to neutralize hazardous devices. Those procedures were refined over two decades of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, where roadside bombs were a persistent threat to coalition forces. While the disposal of munitions is inherently dangerous, one U.S. official explained, fatal incidents are relatively rare. The Defense Department said an investigation is ongoing. The Army said Swinton will be posthumously promoted to staff sergeant.
Sergeant Angel S Rampersad
The Defense Department on Tuesday said Army Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York, is believed to have been killed in action during Friday's Iranian strike on a U.S. base in Jordan. She had previously been listed as missing. The determination followed the recovery of remains from the attack site. Rampersad, who enlisted in March 2019, was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 52d Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, in Ansbach, Germany, according to the U.S. Army. She served as a signal operations support specialist, operating and maintaining radios and other communication tools.
Private First Class Isabella Gonzales
Pfc. Isabella Gonzales, 19, enlisted in the Army last year and served as an air and missile defense crewmember maintaining and using the systems which have been key to protecting U.S. bases from Iranian attacks, according to the Army. She was killed Friday during an Iranian missile and drone attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. She was assigned to 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command. . . . Gonzales was posthumously promoted to private first class.
Our joint fighting force encountered fierce resistance and brutal counterattacks from fortified positions in the steep, mountainous terrain and dense jungle. Yet, the Japanese garrison was decisively crushed by the bravery and unmatched resolve of our Nation’s warriors. On August 10, only 21 days after the amphibious assault began, organized resistance was broken and American sovereignty over the island was restored. That victory was decisive, but it was won at a grievous cost—with more than 1,200 Americans killed in action or lost to their wounds and over 1,000 people native to Guam numbered among the fallen.
On this day, we honor the resilience, unity, and rich heritage of the people of Guam, and we pay solemn tribute to the men of the Greatest Generation whose gallantry and supreme sacrifice assured Guam’s rebirth of liberty. This beautiful island territory bore witness to one of the most glorious victories of the Second World War, and it remains indispensable to the projection of American power across the Pacific and to the defense of our allies and our great Republic. Under my leadership, the freedom won upon that sacred ground will always be defended, the sacrifice of those who secured it will forever be honored, and the United States will stand tall and unyielding as the greatest and most powerful force for freedom the world has ever known.

Annex (pages 85-104)
This report marks a massive rethinking of science and technology since Vannevar Bush published Science: The Endless Frontier in July 1945 when the focus was on fighting disease, national security, the public welfare, generating the new generation of scientists, science for war, and using science to produce a means to an end. Kratsios' report focuses on 4 key pillars:
Revitalize America's Science and Technology Enterprise - The R&D enterprise should refocus support on individual scientists rather than legacy institutions, diversify funding mechanisms beyond slow consensus peer review, create agile new research organizations such as X-Labs and expanded ARPA-like entities, and establish metascience units to institutionalize continuous improvement.
Secure US dominance in critical and emerging technologies - Federal R&D should prioritize national mission-driven scientific initiatives that unite government, industry, academia, and philanthropy around ambitious goals. These include the Genesis Mission to double the productivity of American research through AI; the Quantum Computer for Application Development and Discovery Science (QC-ADDS); commercial fusion power demonstration by the mid-2030s; crewed lunar return and lunar base development; and next-generation semiconductor technologies.
Launching a New Golden Age powered by AI for science - The Federal government should fully fund and scale the Genesis Mission as the flagship national AI-for-science initiative to dramatically accelerate discovery; develop domain-specific scientific foundation models and high-value datasets, invest in AI-enabled verification infrastructure and autonomous laboratories; and begin transitioning toward AI-native scientific institutions better suited to an era of machine-augmented research.
Ensure that science and technology better the lives of all Americans - Federal agencies should integrate hands-on technical training and apprenticeships into STEM education, open scientific careers to skilled craftspeople and practitioners, build dense regional innovation clusters that link research with advanced manufacturing, and ensure that the economic returns of discovery reach every region and community in the country.
Now that the report has been submitted to President Trump, Federal R&D agencies have 90 days to submit an action plan for implementing the priority practices identified within the report. Agencies are also directed to add their budget needs to implement the action plan in they FY2028 budget submission to OMB.
Helping Americans Live Longer, Healthier Lives through Finding the Root Causes of Chronic Disease; Unlocking Cures for Pediatric Cancer; Accelerating Drug Discovery and Clinical Translation; and Delivering Better Health Outcomes for Veterans.
Delivering Reliable Infrastructure and Energy Affordability through Reimagining the Lifecycle of American Infrastructure; Scaling the Grid to Power the American Economy; and Stewarding America’s Natural Resources.
Building American Industrial Strength through Recentering Microelectronics in America; Scaling Biology for American Industrial Leadership; and Accelerating Design of Weapons Components and Systems.
Extending the Frontiers of American Discovery through Mining Decades of Space Data for Discovery; Achieving AI-Driven Autonomous Laboratories; Realizing Quantum Systems for Discovery and Use; Predicting Living Systems; and Designing Materials with Predictable Functionality.
Protecting the Nation from Emerging Threats through Early Detection and Attribution of Biological Threats; Accelerating Materials Discovery, Production, and Qualification for Strategic Deterrence; and Strengthening Deterrence Through Attribution of Nuclear Signatures.
The release concludes:
Harnessing AI as a scientific tool will revolutionize the way scientific research is conducted. Doing so requires large amounts of organized, high-quality data and significant computing power, resources that already exist within DOE’s National Laboratories and across the Federal government. With the Genesis Mission, the Trump Administration is bringing the power of AI to bear on ambitious, multidisciplinary challenges, creating a platform for Federal agencies to collaborate and achieve breakthroughs that would be impossible if attempted alone. . . . Today’s announcement marks continued progress in the Genesis Mission’s whole-of-government approach. Stay tuned for additional announcements regarding industry, philanthropy, and international engagement in the Genesis Mission.

Instead of passing the SAVE America Act, the Senate is working to confirm President Trump's nominees from more than 4 months ago (at this rate, there will be a new Congress before the Senate finishes confirming President Trump's nominees). They are spending more time trying to tank President Trump's goals than they are doing their own job. They seem to be catering to their special interest groups instead of their constituents. I have a friend that keeps writing our dumocrat Senators and, although the Senators respond, they never address the reason they were contacted in the first place. These dumocrat Senators simply tout a record they are proud of and ignore their constituents. They are heavily deluded. Even though our state overwhelmingly elected President Trump in 2024, the slate of dumocrats were (s)elected, countering everything President Trump stood for. How could that happen? Hopefully, the whole-of-government approach to reforming our national election process will find and fix the 'how' this type of thing keeps happening.
The House is still playing games. They put a policy (the SAVE America Act) in budget bills KNOWING that the Senate parliamentarian will remove policy statements from a funding bill. So, it's just lip service. And while they voted for HR7008 the Stop Insider Trading Act you can bet that the Senate will end this bill as well.

In the lawsuitJ.O.P. v. Department of Homeland Security docket # 8:19-cv-01944 filed in District Court, D. Maryland on July 1, 2019 about Removal to Third Country where in November 2024, the court granted a settlement agreement which prohibits the removal of any class member is they have a pending asylum application. Following the removal of a class member in April to CECOT, the attorneys filed motion to request the Court enforce the settlement agreement and prevent future deportations. The original lawsuit sought the following relief:
declare that the 2019 Redetermination Memorandum is unlawful'
vacate the 2019 Redetermination Memorandum;
enjoin Defendants from enforcing or applying any aspect of the 2019 Redetermination Memorandum
enjoin Defendants from taking adjudicatory or enforcement action against Plaintiffs or members of the proposed class during the pendency of this litigation
grant Plaintiffs their costs in this action, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 USC § 2412; and,
award other relief that the Court deems just and proper.
Plaintiffs are represented by Goodwin Procter LLP, Kids in Need of Defense, Catholic Legal Immigration Network Public Counsel.
The motion for final approval of settlement is GRANTED;
All claims asserted in this action against Defendants are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE;
The Preliminary Injunction is hereby DISSOLVED;
The agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in this Order, and the Parties are hereby directed to implement and consummate the Agreement according to the terms and provisions of the Agreement;
Should any party to the Agreement fail to honor the terms of this Order, the non-breaching party may petition for enforcement of this Order; and
The Court retains jurisdiction to enforce the Agreement during the term of the Agreement, and to resolve any request for attorneys' fees and costs.
Class Counsel’s motion to modify the Settlement Agreement, ECF 535, is granted in that the Agreement’s Termination Date is extended to November 18, 2026.
Class Counsel’s Motion to Extend the Termination Date of the Settlement Agreement is GRANTED on the terms outlined in this Court’s memorandum opinion;
Specifically, the “Termination Date” of the Parties’ Settlement Agreement approved by this Court on November 25, 2024, as defined in Section II.S and described in Section IV.K of that Agreement, and to the extent otherwise referenced therein, including in Sections IV.H and V.A (with respect to this Court’s jurisdiction), is extended for 175 days, to November 18, 2026.
The settlement agreement is not available through Court Listener for free download; however, from the filing to 'enforce' the settlement, it states that members of the class cannot be deported as long as they have an active asylum case. So, apparently, once the asylum claims are adjudicated, the individual (who is here illegally) can be either deported or allowed to remain depending on the outcome of the case. And, the cases are not finished within the court system, so the termination date had to be extended, again, this time to November 18, 2026, to give the final cases time to be resolved in the asylum courts.
On July 21, 2026, the 2nd Circuit determined that Federal District Courts generally lack jurisdiction over habeas corpus petitions from illegal aliens who are being held in detention centers. So what is "habeas corpus"?
Latin, meaning "you have the body." A writ of habeas corpus generally is a judicial order forcing law enforcement authorities to produce a prisoner they are holding, and to justify the prisoner's continued confinement. Federal judges receive petitions for a writ of habeas corpus from state prison inmates who say their state prosecutions violated federally protected rights in some way. Federal prisoners may file habeas petitions as well. A writ of habeas corpus may also be used to bring a person in custody before the court to give testimony or to be prosecuted.
So, anyone who feels they have been unlawfully detained or imprisoned by the government can file a claim of habeas corpus to get released. And the activist judges on the Federal District Courts have been doing just that, releasing illegal aliens from detention facilities back into the general population as if no violation of US Immigration Law had been committed. Until . . . the 2nd Circuit said Federal District Courts do not have the jurisdiction to release illegal alien detainees.
1. CIA Note - Venezuela Machine Intel Memo_29JUNE2026_DECLASS_REDACTED (6 pages) which summarizes select intelligence reporting from 2004-2020 on Venezuela's Electronic Voting Manipulation Capacities (29 June 2026):
Redacted Intelligence Community reporting from 2004-2020 documented persistent concerns about Venezuelan government manipulation of electronic voting systems and the potential national security implications for US election infrastructure. The intelligence established that Venezuelan government officials developed sustained interest and likely some capability in manipulating electronic voting systems, including Smartmatic technology, to influence electoral outcomes in Venezuela. The 2006 Intelligence Community assessment that Smartmatic's ties to Venezuela posed a national security threat was based on solid Intelligence regarding Venezuelan government intent to influence US politics and evidence of Venezuelan manipulation of their own electoral systems. This assessment led to US government action forcing Smartmatic to divest its US operations in 2007. Redacted reporting indicated that electronic voting systems contained vulnerabilities that could theoretically be exploited by sophisticated actors with insider access. However, while the intelligence validated significant concerns about foreign-linked voting technology, it did not definitely confirm that large-scale electronic fraud was successfully executed in specific Venezuelan elections, with CIA's baseline assessments maintaining that other factors better explained electoral outcomes. The reporting on advanced techniques like redacted provided concerning insight into alleged Venezuelan government capabilities and intent, but came from limited sourcing.
2. CIA Wire Memo Summer 2020 DECLASS REDACTED (10 July 2026):
This document states China is probing the presidential campaign for opportunities to tailer collection and gather insight on policy positions on US-Chinese issues, a high collection priority by Beijing that has been conducted in every US presidential election campaign since at least 2008. Since 2018, Chinese actors have targeted the personal email accounts of senior US leadership (including from within the Office of the President as well as other Executive Branch organizations, Congress, and the federal judiciary). Since 2017, these actors have worked more stealthily in identifying email addresses through phishing (getting the recipient to answer questions that allow the actor to crack passwords or getting them to click on links to either provide the information or put trojan software on the recipient's computer). Phishing emails are still being documented as recently as May 20, 2026 and June 4, 2026.
3. CISA Election Report - FINAL (13 July 2026)
This report concludes CISA’s findings highlight that U.S. election systems are subject to the same security concerns as most other software systems: they are subject to outdated and fragmented certification regimes, insufficient vulnerability transparency, and persistent cybersecurity gaps in SLTT operating environments. These issues are not attributable to any single entity but are the result of complex interdependencies between vendors, certifiers, policymakers, and resource constrained SLTT partners. Strengthening election-system security requires coordinated action across the entire ecosystem. SLTT election offices need sustained investment in network modernization, segmentation, identity management, and monitoring capabilities. CISA’s recommended mitigation measures—including paper-based voting records, rigorous post-election manual audits, SBOM adoption, and improved incident tracking—provide a path toward measurable, near-term improvements.
4. EMAIL_Everone's favorite topic_23DEC2021_DECLASS_REDACTED (3 July 2026)
In this December 23, 2021 email, sent by deep state actors in National Intelligence, suggesting that how the influence of China in US elections be called an "issue influence" instead of "election interference" even though the activity is the same.
5. EMAIL_ICA.CommentsReMinorityView_30DEC2021_DECLASS_REDACTED (10 July 2026)
In this December 30, 2020 email, Nikki Floris stating she was fine with the inclusion of the minority view textbox but that the analysis must comport to the same analytic standards as the rest of the ICA; however, she does not support the inclusion of the minority view. She then went on to suggest revisions in the way China is presented, complaining that there is no evidence leading to the conclusions made in the attached document. And the Director of Election Threat Analysis forwarded Floris' email with the comment that Floris' email was being forwarded for awareness, that Director Wray signed off on the report, and the sender thinks Floris is either backtracking or just commenting for the record.

In this assessment, which is called a downgraded version of a paper originally published on 19 August 2020, addresses China's broader influence efforts. It reports that foreign states will continue to attempt to influence and undermine the American people's confidence in our democratic processes leading up to the 2020 elections, with Russia, China, and Iran being identified as primary actors, while still monitoring other countries or nonstate criminal groups who might jeopardize election integrity through various means, detailed in this table (click to enlarge):
7. NICM_ChinaStepsToInfluenceElection_16OCT2020_DECLASS_REDACTED (3 July 2026)
In this memorandum which was prepared by the National Intelligence Officer (NIO) for Cyber and the Director, Election Threat Analysis (D/ETA) an alternative perspective to China's attempted influence of the 2020 Election is presented, suggesting that China's actors are acting on a low-level using exploratory steps to shape voter perceptions. It was suggested that hostile forces could fabricate claims to demonize China and that an alternative perspective should be used when speaking about this issue. In other words, downplay China and blame others leading up to the 2020 Election cycle. They noted that in May 2019, a Communist Party owned newspaper noted the COVID-19 pandemic may affect US state and congressional races. [Remember when President Trump kept trying to say COVID-19 came from China?]. The report suggested that there is no reporting to suggest that China has engaged in some of the more aggressive measures available to it to influence the US election outcome, such as funneling large donations or trying to compromise voting infrastructure or interfere with mail-in ballots. [I find it interesting that they should specifically identify these 3 issues which We The People were bringing up back then as well as continue to bring up now.]
8. NICM_VulnerabilitiesInUS2020ElectionInfrastructure_15JAN2020_DECLASS_ REDACTEDed (3 July 2026)
In this memorandum, the potential impact of cyber operations against US election infrastructure by Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, for the 2020 presidential election is discussed. The memorandum finds that each of these Countries has the capability to compromise US elections. The memorandum finds that centralized data repositories in the US are extremely vulnerable to outside actors whereas they judge vote-administering systems are vulnerable only to local exploitation. [Which was proven untrue after the 2020 election.] And, again, they state that false manipulation narratives could undermine public confidence [while they, themselves, were telling the public that these things were not happening].
My takeaway from reading these documents is that the deep state actors in the "intelligence community" KNEW election interference by foreign actors had been occurring since at least 2008 and was getting progressively more sophisticated, and they actively worked to keep that information from We The People through various methods. I sure hope Acting DNI Director Pulte has, by his 3rd round of firings, has eliminated all those people from the Agency who hid this information from We The People!
Every illegal ballot dilutes the voice of a lawful American citizen and undermines election integrity. These incidents are not random errors; they are the predictable result of Democrat policies that refuse to verify citizenship. The American people demand secure elections. Congress must pass the SAVE America Act without delay.
Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content police,' in describing many of our controversial stories. Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
