German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is a lying Fritz, a Pinocchio, a varnished monkey, a foppish dandy, and a showboat. I live in the U.S., so he can't prosecute me like he just did with German citizens who called him those things. #FriedrichMerz #Germany #Politics #News

The article cites PUBLIC instances when previous Iranian leaders boasted about cheating on nuclear deals. Why are we trusting them? Because they promised they won't pursue nuclear weapons? Iran signed the NPT in 1968. So they already "promised" this before. In return for giving them billions of dollars in sanctions relief and opening up the Strait of Hormuz to their oil tankers, what, exactly, are they giving up?

Obama, whose roots are African rather than African-American, rose to power by hijacking the racial resentments and guilty left behind in America after a history of slave and segregation he was never part of. Now, the one trick pony is at it again, announcing the opening of the grim fortress of a museum in Chicago, on ‘Juneteenth’, trying to link his time in the White House as a notable event for black people up there with the end of slavery. It’s another cynical and despicable hijacking of American history to serve his own vanity and ego. The reality, as most...

Mark Hill, a conservative lawyer who served on the local school board, won a divisive mayoral runoff on Saturday in Frisco, Texas, that turned into a referendum on the city’s diversity and a testing ground for the power of anti-Muslim messaging. Mr. Hill defeated Rod Vilhauer, a retired construction company owner who gained a following on the hard right with his promises to keep “terrorists” from gaining a foothold in Frisco and to prevent Shariah, or Islamic religious codes, from taking precedence over local and federal law. The nonpartisan race was one of the earliest tests of whether attacks on...

Graham Platner’s victory in Maine’s Democratic Senate primary was a personal triumph for the 41-year-old Marine veteran and campaign novice. His win also forces us to look at the last decade of U.S. history from a different perspective. Americans think of the years since 2015 as the Trump Era. Politics, entertainment, foreign policy, education and even sports have been defined in relation to President Trump and the MAGA movement. Tell me where you stand on Mr. Trump, and I’ll have a pretty good idea of your views on a variety of questions, from trans rights and tax cuts to national...

US President Donald Trump knocks Israel for attacking Beirut today and says the IDF should not carry out any more attacks on any part of Lebanon moving forward. “This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a peace deal with Iran,” Trump writes on Truth Social, stopping short of definitively declaring that an memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran will actually be signed today. “Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody...

Iran’s decision to launch ballistic missiles at Israel after months of ceasefire was not only a military message but also an attempt to demonstrate the new balance of power in Tehran. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the driving force behind the decision was Revolutionary Guards commander Ahmad Vahidi, who has emerged in recent months as a key figure within the Iranian regime. Vahidi prevailed over more moderate voices in Tehran who opposed the strike out of concern that it could damage contacts with the United States and jeopardize the possibility of an agreement. He persuaded Iran’s...
