On Tuesday afternoon, CNN and MS NOW swooned over King Charles III’s speech to a Joint Session of Congress, choosing not to focus on the historical lessons and shared values that kept the West alive (although its current state is debatable), but on the moments regarding climate change, checks and balances, NATO, and Ukraine to name a few the left has declared outright jabs at President Trump. The two networks trumpeted Charles as a “headmaster” delivering an “extremely political” but “vivid” “masterclass” with a set of values “in complete opposition” that were “batted for” embattled Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer.…

President Donald Trump on Tuesday had harsh words for German Chancellor Friedrich Merch over his disagreements on the Iran war.Merz, like many European leaders, has been critical of the Iran war and generally declined to offer material support to the U.S. in its efforts. The general hesitance from NATO’s European member states to support the U.S. has led Trump and his administration to openly question the value of NATO. “The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “He doesn’t know what he’s talking about!” “If Iran had…

[embedded content] Taking Back Earth Day – The Climate Realism Show #199 Earth Day 2026 came and went without the energy and attention of past years. There was less climate scolding and fewer denunciations of the “high-carbon lifestyle” than in years past. As Heartland’s Anthony Watts said, “Earth Day today feels increasingly detached from the kind of environmental problems that gave rise to it in 1970.” Is this the year climate realists — who know Earth Day is about ecology and genuine environmental protection — begin to take the holiday back from the radicals?

ABC will not fire Jimmy Kimmel for his “joke” referring to the First Lady looking beautiful as the “expectant widow.” He made the joke shortly before a madman tried to kill President Trump. In a post on X, White House communications director Steven Cheung used an expletive to describe Kimmel and blasted him for making a “disgusting joke” and “doubling down on that joke instead of doing the decent thing by apologizing.” “ABC needs to fire him immediately,” Cheung said in part, echoing a demand made by President Donald Trump. Kimmel addressed the backlash at the top of his show Monday, framing…
Former FBI Director James Comey has reportedly been indicted by a grand jury over a social media post many deemed as an unsubtle threat against President Donald Trump. On May 15, 2025, Comey posted a photo of a shell formation on a sandy beach arranged to form the numbers “86 47,” and captioned the post “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” Comey had been posting photos from a beach on Emerald Isle, North Carolina, at the time.

Who Needs Greenland? Who Needs Greenland? Via Committee to Unleash Prosperity: America has recently annexed some-one million square kilometers of resource-rich off-shore land and sea in the Arctic region. It is called the “Extended Continental Shelf” and the land area is roughly half the size of Alaska or two Californias! It’s the largest U.S. land acquisition (albeit a seashelf underwater) since the Alaska Purchase. Why does it matter? Because geologists believe this underwater treasure chest has abundant energy and critical mineral resources. The area includes the Arctic, the Bering Sea, the Mariana Islands and even regions down in the Gulf…

Analysts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that factors such as a lack of quality healthcare, lower medical insurance access and unhealthy habits may be contributing to poor health among some Southern Americans.

(Kyle Anzalone, Libertarian Institute) German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that Iran has humiliated the US during the negotiating process. The United States and Iran have held a round of talks and exchanged messages through Pakistan, but have been unable to reach an agreement. “The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, very skilful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result,” the German leader said Monday. “An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards. And so I hope that this ends as…

The Virginia Supreme Court on Tuesday denied a request from the Democrat Attorney General to pause a lower court order blocking the gerrymander referendum. Last Tuesday evening, Virginia voters passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit Democrats and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans. “The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state’s current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia’s congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge,” Fox New reported. Virginia’s radical Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger lied on the…
