Did Donald Trump tell Iran to “get its s*** together”? Or is that directed at Pakistan, which keeps trying to stage Islamabad II: Taqqiya Boogaloo with a regime incapable of committing to anything? Advertisement Axios’ Barak Ravid reports this morning that Trump won’t keep J.D. Vance on the tarmac forever. The vice president had prepared to lead the American delegation in talks this past weekend, but Iran’s regime couldn’t decide whether to come and what to offer if they did.

The world should not be shocked by President Donald Trump’s moves globally – from alliances to foreign policy decisions – Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle said during an interview with Right2theBone and the Greek Conservative Network. Boyle was asked about the establishment media at home and abroad acting surprised by the president’s moves, using the publicly released 2025 national security strategy as an example. While that is being implemented, politicians, analysts, and mainstream media are “acting surprised by the administration’s decision on borders, alliances, China, or energy, [and] Iran.” But Boyle said they should not be. “President Trump has…

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clapped back at Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen Wednesday after being accused of allowing wealthy people to dodge their taxes. During a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Van Hollen accused Bessent of mishandling the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by cutting the number of staffers at the agency, which he argued has negatively impacted its delivery service. Bessent fired back at Van Hollen after he accused the secretary of deliberately permitting wealthy people to dodge their taxes.“Mr. Secretary, what you’ve done is provided a windfall to very wealthy people who don’t pay their taxes,” Van Hollen said.…

For decades, Republican populists have been handicapped by the so-called “principled conservative” wing of the GOP. The Democratic success with Virginia’s redistricting teaches a lesson that the old hats can no longer ignore. The writing was on the wall in late 2025 that Democrats would attempt to redraw their U.S. House district maps in places like Virginia and California to give the party an advantage over Republicans in the 2026 midterms. This kicked off a national effort by President Donald Trump and Republicans to do the same in GOP-controlled states like Indiana, which has a Republican trifecta.However, Indiana, while being…

A Tuesday Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment alleged that the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) funneled money into the pockets of Ku Klux Klan leaders, neo-Nazis and an Aryan motorcycle gang. The indictment, returned by an Alabama grand jury, charged the SPLC with 11 counts of wire fraud, issuing false statements to a federally insured bank and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering. This led an Alabama U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) to file actions to recover alleged the proceeds of the SPLC’s fraud scheme, according to a DOJ statement.

The Charlottesville rally led by Unite the Right was obviously targeted in a setup. We reported that at the time. It was a false flag operation funded by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). A woman named Heather Heyer died; a disturbed man went to prison for life; people were hurt; and the left is still claiming President Trump praised the radicals as “very fine people.” Joe Biden ran on that lie long after it was debunked, even by the left. There were normal people at the Unite the Right rally protesting the removal of historical statues, and that is…

It’s hard to say whether or not Trump is prepared to restart kinetic action against Iran, or continue his indefinite cease-fire…indefinitely. No doubt Trump likes it that way. While I hate that every time a security studies guy or gal talks about military action, they always quote Clausewitz or Sun Tzu, I have to say that Trump is the most Clausewitzian and Sun Tzu-style military leader we have had in a long while. Advertisement By that I mean that Trump understands that war is an extension of politics, and that military success relies as much on deception as good tactics. I know…

Are Big Food companies quietly smuggling their toxic agenda right underneath the nose of MAHA-friendly Americans? The Make America Healthy Again movement was one of the cornerstones of President Trump’s 2024 campaign. Thanks to its non-partisan appeal — because what American doesn’t want our food to be healthier and more natural? — Trump and RFK Jr. were able to capture a new set of voters who might have otherwise voted for Kamala Harris or not at all. But now, in the second year of his second term, the MAHA movement appears to have lost some momentum, and Big Food companies…

President Donald Trump has had it with Democratic strategist James Carville for urging the left to change the rules of the game. Carville is among the Democratic leftists who believe that if they can’t win over the public’s favor, all they have to do is change how things are done. Such proposals include packing the Supreme Court, which would give them more seats to install left-leaning justices, as well as making Puerto Rico and a portion of Washington, D.C., official states. By doing this, they would stand a much better chance during election season rather than, you know, developing a…

Consider the amount of money involved in the trilateral USMCA trade agreement. It’s not just about trade and commerce between the USA, Canada and Mexico; the totality of the equation is derived from all of the third-party nations who trade into the North American trade bloc. There are tens-of-trillions at stake. As we have outlined for several years the trilateral trade agreement has several material flaws. With the U.S. economy as the primary consumption economy, both Mexico and Canada derive significant benefits within the USMCA. Additionally, both Canada and Mexico leverage their unique positions to gain economic benefit from third…
NPR’s business model has — or, blessedly, had — always been providing hard-left content to rich urban liberals and forcing everyone, including the conservatives they trashed, to pay for it via their tax dollars. Not that they’d acknowledge that. NPR’s claim was that they got basically 1 percent of their annual revenue from your tax dollars, then would insist in the next breath they desperately needed that 1 percent. Both of these were half-truths: A federal entity called NPR only got 1 percent of the public broadcaster’s revenue from tax dollars, but that was just the national organization; when you added…
