President Donald Trump speaks during a Fighting For American Workers event in Suffern, N.Y., on May 22, 2026. Ryan Murphy/AP PhotoU.S. President Donald Trump on May 25 laid out three possible paths for dealing with Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, after insisting that Tehran will not be allowed to retain a pathway to a nuclear weapon as negotiations continue over a broader peace deal.“The Enriched Uranium (Nuclear Dust!) will either be immediately turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed or, preferably, in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or,…

Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. Let’s cut to the chase: Americans don’t need yet another lecture on why healthcare is a financial black hole. They live it every time they open a bill, swipe their insurance card, or haggle with a pharmacy over a ridiculously priced prescription. But here’s the kicker that rarely gets the spotlight: a staggering chunk of those costs is fueled by shockingly high compensation across the medical profession, all propped up by a system that restricts competition. The Weight of Labor Costs With America’s elderly population skyrocketing, the demand for…
The Department of Justice last week announced the creation of a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to repay victims of left-wing lawfare. While it remains to be seen whether this funding could go to MAGA lawyers who are victims of frivolous left-wing ethics complaints brought before Democrat-dominated bar disciplinary authorities, other remedies are already underway. With a new landmark lawsuit, the Trump Justice Department is finally fighting this “barfare” —leftist efforts to render the right defenseless by crushing or chilling conservative attorneys via stress-inducing probes, costly trials, and crippling penalties that include disbarment. On May 13, the DOJ filed a complaint…
How well do you know American history? The dramatic battles, the great debates, and the brilliant, determined men who forged this nation? Whether you’re a history aficionado or not, America’s 250th birthday is close at hand, and there’s no better way to celebrate that anniversary than by learning about the history of the country you love so much. This list could easily encompass 50 books, especially if I included works on all of American history, so I narrowed my recommendations down to 12 entries across three eras: the Revolution, the Antebellum period, and the Civil War. These three eras capture…
North Carolina elections officials must do more to keep noncitizens off the state’s voter rolls, according to an agreement state and national Republicans signed last week with the North Carolina State Board of Elections. The Republican National Committee and the North Carolina GOP are heralding the consent judgment as a major election integrity victory — prompted by the RNC’s lawsuit over the NCSBE’s failure to remove foreign nationals from the voter registration database in advance of the 2024 presidential election. Wake County Superior Court Judge Jennifer Bedford signed off on the deal over the objections of the leftist lawfare firm…
On Tuesday’s CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish asked — seemingly out of nowhere — during the Group Chat on the Texas GOP Senate primary runoff: “Is John Cornyn a RINO?” Cornish did not mention or dispute Cornyn’s widely cited 99%+ voting alignment with President Trump on roll-call votes where Trump took a clear position. Republican strategist Brad Todd pushed back immediately, saying: “No. And if John Cornyn wins tonight, this Texas Senate race is functionally over. He will be the next US Senator from Texas if he wins tonight.” Cornish suggested maybe Cornyn sounded too squishy on guns: “Cornyn…
President Ronald Reagan famously embraced the Russian proverb “Trust, but verify” during negotiations with the Soviet Union over nuclear arms reductions. Reagan understood that when there are incentives to cheat, verification is essential. That same principle applies to government welfare programs, including the forthcoming Medicaid work requirements. In the Working Families Tax Cut Act — also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill — Congress required able-bodied, working-age adults to work, volunteer, or participate in job training to receive Medicaid unless they qualify for an exemption. More than 80 percent of Americans support such requirements. The work requirements are more…
A central pillar of any American story is one’s willingness to go to hard places and do hard things so that you might rely on yourself, provide for your family, and truly be free. The goal is for the next generation to have an easier time than you did. Our history has been written by men and women who lived and died by this rule. It wasn’t the wealthy trust-fund babies of England who carved plantations out of raw wilderness at Plymouth and Jamestown in the 1600s, or hacked their way across the Cumberland Gap in the 1700s, or wrangled…

Khoshiran / Middle East Images / AFP via Getty ImagesIranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a message on May 26 calling for greater unity across the Muslim world against the United States and Israel, saying that the chants “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” will become the rallying slogans of Muslims and “the oppressed of the world.”Khamenei’s message was to mark Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage. In it, Khamenei described a historic struggle against U.S. and Israeli influence in the Middle East, repeatedly…
Regular viewers of the liberal media have come to expect that Republican guests are on Sunday shows will get hard questions and lots of interruptions. But Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, host Jake Tapper quizzed EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin calmly about the threat of a chemical tank explosion California, the deregulation of refrigerants, and the dangers of forever chemicals in drinking water. In contrast to his April “Trump sounds genocidal” interview with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Tapper offered no interruptions and no follow-ups for his first two questions to Zeldin, going from the chemical tank to refrigerants, and then turned to…
The 2026 American Music Awards aired May 25 and proved what many fans have known all along – the best music lived in the past. The show was a nostalgic blast featuring the best hits, bands, and music references of the 1980’s through to the 2000’s – and it just kept giving.Unlike the Grammy Awards, where winners are chosen by industry professionals, the American Music Awards are decided entirely by fan voting. Fans cast ballots across genres ranging from country and alternative rock to K-pop, shaping a lineup that reflected their direct tastes and passions. This year’s show felt like…
A Canadian doctor has been placed under supervision by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) after an investigation into his Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) practice found serious breaches of protocol — including assessing a man for MAID outside a Tim Hortons restaurant. Despite the investigation’s worrisome findings, the doctor has been reportedly allowed to continue his MAID practice throughout the six months that his supervision will last. Dr. James MacLean is a family physician based in London, Ontario that has come under heavy scrutiny by the CPSO after it received complaints over two MAID-related cases he oversaw in…
Controversy has erupted in Tennessee after a viral TikTok video showed an angry woman vandalizing her neighbor’s property by removing a sign that simply expressed their support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and their operations to detain and deport illegal aliens from the United States. The sign, which was a flag reading, “I Support ICE,” was torn down by the woman, who then proceeded to toss it in the trash while loudly insulting the individual who displayed it. The woman claimed that the actions ICE have taken to enforce immigration law in the United States made the flag highly insulting…
Los Angeles mayoral candidate and former reality television star Spencer Pratt, obliterated current Democratic Mayor Karen Bass in fundraising, pulling in almost 10 times more than her in contributions, according to information contained in new statements concerning the latest campaign finance reporting period. Pratt raised close to $2.72 million between April 19 and May 16, the statements revealed, compared with only $283,000 for the Democrat incumbent. The former reality TV star also reported a total of $3.26 million in contributions, giving him the edge over Bass with $3.13 million. The other individual running for the coveted mayoral office, Councilmember Nithya…
Appearing for an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” program with host Jake Tapper on Sunday, May 24, Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker called on the Democratic Party to overhaul its leadership, insisting that the Democratic Party is facing a crisis as its message falls flat with voters and midterms are less than six months away. As background, while Democrats initially expected to win the midterm elections handily due to the midterm elections, those hopes have faded in the face of the Iran strikes appearing to end, general economic strength, and a great amount of redistricting engaged in…
A California man has officially been charged with attempted murder after allegedly critically injuring another man outside a home located in Escondido that is well-known for displaying American flags, pro-Trump messages, and other banners, local law enforcement officials have revealed. Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, the suspect in the brutal assault, is being held in the Vista Detention Facility located in San Diego County. Police officers responded to the Escondido area around 2:15 p.m. on May 20, 2026, after receiving reports of a violent assault at the intersection of East Mission Avenue and Buchanan Street. Officers found an elderly man “suffering…
A piece penned by the California Post Editorial Board — which is connected to the New York Post — took Sacramento City Council member Mai Vang who is currently running for the Golden State’s 7th Congressional District, to the proverbial woodshed, saying that she shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near Congress due to her anti-American views and obvious displays of hatred for the U.S. flag and Pledge of Allegiance. The report stated, emphatically, that those who are against pledging their allegiance to America should have no place in government service. Writers of the article immediately connect that principle to Mai Vang.…
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made his first appearance before a congressional panel to ask for funds to run the Justice Department, which is something he had not previously had to do. And while it’s completely routine for cabinet secretaries to make budget requests in front of Congress, it seems that Blanche didn’t need to ask lawmakers for the most controversial batch of federal funds in years. Why? Because, somehow, the money he needed had already been approved. The DOJ made an announcement concerning the creation of a billion-dollar compensation fund to pay individuals who the GOP says are victims…
Appearing for an interview in which he discussed what is going on in the far-left, sanctuary state of New York, former Democratic New York Gov. David Paterson went absolutely nuclear on Gov. Kathy Hochul over the sort of anti-ICE legislation in which the governor and her party have engaged. The interview came on Sunday, May 24, vowing that the legislation amounts to being a very serious blunder that could lead to a massive number of lawsuits Such came when Peterson appeared on John Catsimatidis’ “Cats Roundtable” radio show on 77 WABC, noting that the new legislation–which strips counties in the…
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced that two defendants involved in the “largest autism fraud bust in American history” have been indicted. The Justice Department indicted Shamso Ahmed Hassan, 55, and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, 25, on numerous charges related to a $46.6 million scheme to defraud Minnesota’s Medicaid Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention Program (EIDBI). The indictments were one part of a much larger enforcement action taken by the DOJ’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, which took 15 alleged fraudsters into custody to indict them for schemes that targeted over $90 million in taxpayer…
The cast of MS NOW’s Morning Joe assembled on Tuesday to rain on the upcoming America 250 celebrations by observing how every time the country makes racial progress, it also relapses soon after. Not content to simply give a history lesson, co-host Joe Scarborough led the panel in saying the current Trump Era is one of those relapses. Scarborough declared that “I didn’t hear the N-word growing up in public schools. I just didn’t because I was the first class in 1969 that was integrated in rural Mississippi. So, the world I grew up in, you know, and, you know,…
Speaking during the West Point commencement ceremony on May 23, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sounded off on the sort of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs that have long afflicted the United States and the federal government in particular. The anti-DEI push from the Trump Administration is a significant change from that which has been pushed by the government in the past. Such is what the Secretary of War, who is 45 years old, insisted during his speech to the graduating cadets at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. His comments focused particularly on issues like…
The worst fears of World Health Organization (W.H.O.) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus have been realized. The career Ethiopian bureaucrat confirmed late Monday the Ebola outbreak is outpacing response efforts in Africa and countries neighbouring the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are at high risk from the disease. “We are urgently scaling up operations, but at the moment the epidemic is outpacing us,” Tedros declared as he urged neighbouring countries to take immediate action. Addressing an online meeting of the African Union about the outbreak, the Guardian reports he also announced there had been 220 suspected deaths so far in the…
For much of the nation, it feels like we are in a permanent economic crisis with no end in sight. I have been documenting our long-term economic decline for years, and now we have reached a point where Americans have literally never felt this bad about the state of the U.S. economy. Considering everything that we have been through over the last several decades, that is saying a lot. So, how will the American people feel if economic conditions continue to deteriorate? We might want to be thinking about that, because all of the long-term trends are taking us in…

Talks hang on the same issues, nuclear stockpiles, sanctions, and mistrust. Four Things The Wal Street Journal reports Iran Talks Bog Down Over Nuclear Program and Sanctions Relief. That’s only two. The biggest issues are mistrust and warmonger meddling.Get Daily Emails Progress toward a deal to end the war with Iran slowed Monday as the two sides dug in over references to the country’s nuclear program and financial relief for Tehran, mediators said. The slowdown followed a weekend that began with President Trump and other administration officials saying a deal was close and ended with Trump saying he wouldn’t rush to…
The Dutch government is moving ahead with its plans to establish “return hubs” outside E.U. territory to deport migrants and process asylum applications. The proposal, which reportedly boasts “concrete steps” towards its fruition, is expected to go ahead over the next months. Politico reports that it obtained a copy of a letter issued by the Dutch government indicating to the nation’s parliament that a legal review found no obstacles to setting up the return hubs and external asylum processing. The legal review was conducted by The Hague-based think tank Clingendael. The plans would avoid having migrants stay in a country here…
Mark Levin, the neocon podcaster whispering in President Trump’s ear, was interviewed on Netanyahu-friendly Channel 14 television in Israel. He used the interview to make his demands for the Trump administration known. Levin strongly advocates for a continuation of the United States’ bombing campaign against Iran. While Trump has dropped approximately 3,000 bombs on Iran, the Israeli Air Force has dropped over 12,000. These attacks extend beyond military targets, striking essential services such as power and water supply. This indiscriminate targeting poses a significant risk to public health emergencies and affects millions of civilians. Moreover, these actions violate international humanitarian…
States across the country are beginning to impose tougher criminal penalties on protesters who disrupt church services and other religious gatherings following a high-profile demonstration inside a Minnesota church earlier this year. At least four states have approved new laws this year aimed at protecting worship services from disruptions, while similar legislation has been introduced in several other states and in Congress. Supporters of the measures say the laws are needed as churches and synagogues remain on heightened alert following years of violence and politically charged confrontations targeting religious institutions. They say existing trespassing laws are insufficient to deter increasingly…
The author of a major report on child rape grooming gangs in England has warned that many are still in denial about the role that ethnicity and religion play in the ongoing mass sexual exploitation of mostly young white working-class girls by predominantly Pakistani Muslim men. While stating the fact that Pakistani Muslims are significantly overrepresented in the group sexual exploitation of young girls in Britain was once cast as akin to a conspiracy theory, a review last year from Baroness Louise Case forced the left-wing Labour Party government to not only launch a national review but also to finally…
The government would gain by supercharging the inflow of migrants just as millions of American voters lose their jobs and careers to artificial intelligence, says Silicon Valley investor and AI advocate Jason Calacanis. “The best interest of America today, when it comes to expansion, is very simple … Recruit the smartest and most driven 1-3m people on the planet every year,” Calacanis wrote May 25 on X, without mentioning the impact on the prosperity of ordinary Americans. The government should also import many additional foreign workers for healthcare and other white-collar jobs, he said. “Allow for a modest number of worker…
President Donald Trump said Monday that six Muslim-majority nations must join the Abraham Accords if they want to participate in an agreement currently being negotiated with Iran. In a Memorial Day post on Truth Social, Trump said the negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely” but added that he had made normalization with Israel a condition for several regional governments seeking involvement in the deal. Trump said he spoke Saturday with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey and Jordan and told them they should formally recognize Israel through the Abraham Accords framework. “I stated that, after all the…
President Donald Trump said Monday that Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile will either be transferred to the United States or destroyed inside Iran under international supervision. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the uranium would either be “immediately turned over” to the United States to be destroyed or eliminated inside Iran or another approved location. “The Enriched Uranium (Nuclear Dust!) will either be immediately turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed or, preferably, in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location, with the Atomic…

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) goes head-to-head with his challenger, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, today, May 26, in the Lone Star State’s Senate GOP runoff. The four-term incumbent is likely feeling the pressure after President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton, as prediction markets and polls strongly favor the president’s pick. Of course, it all comes down to the GOP voter. Paxton v. Cornyn: The Odds As of Monday evening, Kalshi’s prediction market gave Paxton a 95.9% chance of beating Cornyn, 74, in the runoff, while the incumbent sank to a dismal 4.3%. Before Trump’s endorsement, Paxton had a 63.7% chance of…
Fresh strikes on southern Iran were launched by U.S. military forces early Tuesday morning targeting Iranian missile sites and vessels attempting to lay anti-shipping mines in the contested Strait of Hormuz. The targeted strikes were done “to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” but the military was “using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire,” Capt. Tim Hawkins, the spokesman for the U.S. military’s Central Command, said in a statement as reported by AP. Following the strikes, the BBC reports U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a deal was still possible and pointed to talks on Tuesday between…
For the first time since August 1987, the White House’s East Room hosted a swearing-in ceremony of an incoming Federal Reserve chairman on May 22. Thirty-nine years ago, then-President Ronald Reagan gave Alan Greenspan the red-carpet treatment. Almost four decades later, President Donald Trump extended the same courtesy to Kevin Warsh. The glitz and glamor are over, and now it is time for Warshonomics to filter through the central bank. Job one? Get interest rates under control. Kevin Warsh – Mission Impossible There is a good chance that if the war in Iran ends, yields on US Treasury securities will…
There’s a lot of talk and grumbling about AI data centers and how much they’re costing Americans. In fact, a new poll found that more people would rather live near a nuclear power plant than a data center. Technology is growing by leaps and bounds and in the artificial intelligence sector, the pressure to keep innovating and stay above competition is a driving force. But are we moving too fast, and do the benefits outweigh the dangers? The Survey Data centers house equipment that helps power AI technology, which is used by businesses, universities, and more. These systems cover large…
PM Keir Starmer is on the ropes, but things move slowly across the pond.
Woke AI is the worst AI, with blue-state politics and ideological bias as its source code. Take, for example, Anthropic, whose executives include senior Biden-era officials and the former head of Sleepy Joe’s AI Safety Institute. No wonder the company opposes President Trump’s executive orders to create a national framework for AI leadership. The company also opposes Trump’s effort to eliminate onerous and prejudicial state laws that have nothing to do with AI safety. That policy alignment is not accidental, particularly when it comes to Anthropic’s attempt to sell “safety” tools to the Pentagon. Bear in mind, too, that Anthropic…
The latest historical/biographical epic written by New York Times best-selling author Douglas Brunt does not disappoint but takes an unknown subject, explores its impact, and reveals in a persuasive, engaging fashion how interesting a supposedly marginal facet of European history can be and how it had international implications, even for the United States, and especially for today. Brunt takes the reader on a detailed history tour not just of a once-famed oil magnate and his family enterprise but also of his interactions with Russian dignitaries, the rise of Soviet revolutionaries, and the economic and political power plays of a committed…
Since October 7, we have been lectured nonstop about the supposedly singular sins of Israel. The campuses, the left-wing media, and the new Democratic Socialist officials, both federal and state, following the cue of student activists and professors from the Middle East, have painted Israel and their Jewish supporters as Nazis, fascists, and among the worst murderers in today’s bloody world. This is nonsensical. The medieval-style massacre of 1,200 Jews in their homes on October 7, during a time of peace, should have increased awareness of the existential dangers Israel faced. Instead, it spawned a gathering storm of antisemitism. What…
Microsoft is one of the largest tech providers for the American government. That’s in spite of the company’s cozy ties with China and its products’ numerous security risks. It’s also a company with a noted left-wing bias, which puts it at odds with the Trump administration. The tech giant’s current relationship with the government doesn’t put the nation first, but that may soon change. The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) has called on the Department of Justice to review Microsoft’s many problems and reassess the government’s relationship with the company. Microsoft has caught the eye of someone very important in the…
A French court sentenced former banker Guillaume Bucci to 25 years in prison after disturbing testimony revealed years of abuse against his former girlfriend, who said she endured torture, humiliation, and sexual violence throughout their relationship. According to the New York Post, the case has drawn national attention in France after the victim, identified publicly as Laetitia R., said she decided to speak out following another high-profile abuse case involving Gisèle Pelicot. Laetitia R leaves the morning session devoted to the psychological analysis of Guillaume Bucci. France, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Digne-les-Bains, May 20, 2026. Since Monday, the trial of Guillaume Bucci has…
The pattern of media reports – based on White House leaks – that an agreement with Iran is almost completed has become predictable. Where once the markets fluctuated wildly (and some insiders made huge profits with the information), each time we hear that the deal is almost complete, only to see it fall through, the markets barely move. It is dangerous to have a US Administration that no one in the US or the rest of the world believes. When White House “sources” claim a deal is in sight, only to have President Trump post another AI graphic of the…
Hot damn! My man is trying to finesse the hell out of Kalshi! Kyle Kuzma, a forward for the Milwaukee Bucks, has a lot of money riding on Los Angeles doing a complete 180. (RELATED: Max Kellerman Issues Apology After Ridiculously Comparing James Harden To President Trump)Kuzma somewhat increased the interest level in the upcoming primary, which is nonpartisan, doing so with a $36,000 wager on ex-“The Hills” reality star Spencer Pratt pulling off a major upset to become Los Angeles‘ next mayor.
