Trump Polls Best on...Immigration
The Left is going to be furious over the latest polling on immigration… I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. By the looks of the overtaken streets in deep blue cities like LA, Chicago and New York, you may be tempted to think the president is underwater on his handling of illegal immigration…but NOPE! Actually, according to recent polling by CBS/YouGov 54% of US adults approve of the deportation effort compared to 46% who disapprove of it. This survey was conducted prior to the LA raids and riots but I'd venture to guess after looking at the absolute anarchy in the streets, foreign flags, and utter disregard for the rule of law, the approval numbers might actually tick UP! Of all the measures, President Trump polls BEST on immigration! This polling shouldn't be surprising, Donald Trump RAN on, and I argue, WON on immigration and mass deportations. He promised the largest mass deportation effort in American history to correct the Biden open border invasion and now he's following through. Democrats would be wise to adjust their radical open border views but I won't count on that one! I'm Tomi Lahren and you watch my show 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' at Learn more about your ad choices.

Interior advances first offshore mineral lease in decades
The Interior Department on Thursday took a step toward launching what could be the first mineral lease in U.S. waters in more than 30 years. The department announced it plans to publish a request for information and interest in the coming days to mine the deep seas off of American Samoa, a U.S. territory in the Polynesia region of the South Pacific. Upon publication in the Federal Register, the agency will take public comment for 30 days. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in a statement said the administration is putting 'America first' and moving to unlock vast stores of offshore minerals and ease the nation's reliance on countries like China. Advertisement President Donald Trump in April inked an executive order to boost deep-sea mining, part of a broader push to open the nation's land and waters to more mining and production of minerals.
