Trump confirmed later on social media that Machado had left the medal for him to keep, and he said it was an honour to meet her.Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado on Thursday said she presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to US President Donald Trump at the White House and discussed her country’s future with the US leader, even as he has questioned her credibility to lead her country. Machado's extraordinary gesture to Trump, which the Nobel Institute has said can not be done, followed a rapidly evolving series of developments in Venezuela after an audacious US military raid...

Some fun facts: 1. The Insurrection Act has been invoked 30 times by 17 different presidents. 2. In fact, 37% of American presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act. 3. It was invoked to deal with rebellions and uprisings. What are rebellions and uprisings? Examples: - Armed groups openly defied federal law - State or local authorities could not or would not enforce federal law - Violence or organized resistance threatened the authority of the federal government - Courts were blocked, taxes couldn’t be collected, or officials were attacked Look I just described Minnesota.

Iran is facing its most critical moment in decades. In this exclusive Jerusalem Dateline interview, Iranian-born lawyer, activist, and former Canadian lawmaker Goldie Ghamari joins Chris Mitchell and Joshua Swanson to discuss what she’s hearing from inside Iran as nationwide protests erupt. Ghamari says unconfirmed reports point to more than 30,000 Iranians killed, calling it the largest massacre since the Islamic regime took power in 1979. She explains why this uprising is different, why Iranians believe the regime’s fall is near, and what freedom could look like after nearly five decades of oppression. She also shares why Christianity is rapidly...

The FBI searched the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson Wednesday morning, as part of a classified document leak investigation. Agents reportedly executed a search warrant at her residence in suburban Alexandria, Va., seizing her phone, a Garmin watch, and two laptops (a personal computer and a Washington Post-issued device). Natanson was reportedly told she is not the target of the investigation. The suspected leaker, Aurelio Perez-Lugones, is a Maryland-based government system administrator with top-secret clearance. The Justice Department alleges in its complaint that he took home classified material, including documents found in his lunchbox and basement. Attorney General...

What was Renee Nicole Good thinking when her girlfriend yelled, “Drive baby, drive” and grinning she drove her 4,000 lb Honda Pilot SUV at an armed federal law enforcement officer? Her last thoughts were likely of her imaginary white privilege and why it failed to protect her. Good had supported BLM and had inhaled its mythology of ‘the talk’, the idea that law enforcement is a racist institution, that police started out as ‘slave catchers’ and that they exist to persecute black people while giving white people a pass. This would have come as a surprise to the over 2,000...

The state of Minnesota is in a state of INSURRECTION right now. Another ICE agent was violently attacked by illegal aliens with weapons! This is what they want to distract you from 👇

My latest song. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

UPDATE: The Rioter who drove off with Law Enforcement rifIe has been Identified as Raul Gutierrez. —— He’s been taken into federal custody. Everyone wave 👋 because this asshole is going bye bye

Never-before-seen high-definition footage of an uncontacted Amazonian tribe has surfaced in a recent interview between an American conservationist and podcaster Lex Fridman. Author Paul Rosolie has spent two decades working in the Amazon and says the moment was one of the most profound experiences he’s ever had. “In order for any of this to make sense, I had to show you this footage … This has not been shown ever before. This is a world first,” he told Fridman.

2026 is shaping up to be the year when artificial intelligence starts to feel like less of a novelty and more like a part of your day-to-day. For job seekers and professionals, the conversation around AI is moving away from “Will this change my job?” toward a more practical question: “How will I work alongside AI?” Here are some AI predictions for 2026 and what they could mean for job seekers and professionals. AI Becomes Embedded, Not OptionalIn 2026, AI won’t be something companies “try out.” It will be baked into everyday workflows, especially in white-collar industries. In consulting, AI...

For months now, far-left activists across America have been gathering in groups, seeking out locations where federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers (known as ICE) are conducting raids, hunting down and arresting criminal aliens who are in the country illegally. They then swarm the ICE action, blowing whistles, yelling and chanting to alert anyone whom the agents might be after, in hopes that the criminals can escape. They frequently use their cars, vans and SUVs in an attempt to block roadways or driveways so that the ICE agents can’t get through, and recently, they’ve even gone so far as to...

A court ruled on Thursday that a Harrisburg city ordinance allowing the mayor to place restrictions on firearm use and possession during a state of emergency can be challenged even if those parts of the ordinance have never been enforced. Joshua First, Howard Bullock and Michelle Stolfer, who either lived in or visited Harrisburg during any of the city’s four most recent emergency declarations, have grounds to challenge the ordinance in court, per the order signed by the Commonwealth Court. The emergency ordinance in question allowed the mayor to declare a state of emergency and choose whether to implement a...

As President Trump has argued his case against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in the public square, high-ranking members of the global banking community have rallied to Powell’s defense. Trump’s argument is that Powell is either incompetent or improperly partisan, as he dithered while a Democratic regime spent the country into oblivion and now he’s refused to accelerate needed reductions in interest rates during a Republican administration. In Trump’s eyes, there has to be a reason for that, and it’s unacceptable behavior. On top of that, Powell’s supervision of the renovation of the Fed’s national headquarters (the Eccles Building) has...

Senate Republicans voted to dismiss a war powers resolution Wednesday that would have limited President Donald Trump’s ability to conduct further attacks on Venezuela after two GOP senators reversed course on supporting the legislation. Trump put intense pressure on five Republican senators who joined with Democrats to advance the resolution last week and ultimately prevailed in heading off passage of the legislation. Two of the Republicans — Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Todd Young of Indiana — flipped under the pressure.Vice President JD Vance had to break the 50-50 deadlock in the Senate on a Republican motion to dismiss...

After three hours of parsing American case law, for once I share Donald Trump’s exasperation. See, many a naif, including yours truly three hours ago, would have thought the Democrats’ “sanctuary cities” unconstitutional. A sanctuary city instructs its local police force to cease all co-operation with federal immigration agents. The constitution’s supremacy clause dictates that federal law overrules local law, just as rock crushes scissors in the hand game. For subjurisdictions to offer refuge from big meanie federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (the aptly cold-hearted sounding ICE) should not, legally, be possible.It’s possible. The work-around is the 10th Amendment’s “anti-commandeering...

The Louvre museum in the French capital, Paris, is hiking its ticket prices for most non-European visitors by 45 per cent. The famous institution was the scene last year of a daring heist which saw robbers get away with jewels worth over a $100 million dollars, blamed in part on its deteriorating state. "I want visitors from outside the EU to pay more … and for that surcharge to go towards funding the renovation of our national heritage," Culture Minister Rachida Dati said announcing the hikes in 2024. But France’s decision to increase entry costs to the help fund much-needed...

Polling got underway Thursday in Uganda’s presidential election, but logistical delays hampered voting in some areas while restrictions on internet access drew criticism for potentially compromising electoral transparency. Millions of Ugandans are signed up to vote in a crucial presidential rematch between a former pop star and their long-time authoritarian leader, who aims to prolong his nearly 40-year rule. In their previous encounter at the polls in 2021, President Yoweri Museveni, now 81, won by a landslide. Bobi Wine, a singer-turned-politician, finished a distant second.
