At least 'HAMAS' controlled "health ministry". The death cult arm. Oh, 'women' casualties? Are Hamas' women /terror-assistants somehow " civilians," too? And propaganda group exaggerating numbers, might be "independent," but still Israelophobic.

President Trump on Saturday demanded a “full-throated” apology from Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) before his administration can settle its dispute with the state for defying his executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. The University of Maine System (UMS) backed down earlier this week and promised to follow the executive order on transgender competition, but Trump suggested the dispute over federal funding won’t be resolved until Mills’ mea culpa. “While the State of Maine has apologized for their Governor’s strong, but totally incorrect, statement about men playing in women’s sports while at the White House House...

A heated conversation on a New York subway took an unexpected turn after a woman who called a man "racist" for wearing a "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) hat fell flat on her face.

Democrats are at a crossroads over whether to reach across the aisle for legislative wins or stonewall President Donald Trump at all costs. Lawmakers are emerging from constituent events bruised and battered from voter demands to fight Republicans tooth and nail. But not everyone is sold on the strategy, as Democrats scramble for cohesion and reveal division that’s taken the spotlight off Trump’s flurry of executive actions. “I am definitely in the ‘Democrats need to raise hell’ camp,” Democratic strategist Brad Bannon said. “Voters aren’t in the calm mood, and I don’t think they are receptive to a Democratic Party...

The radical Left's latest scheme to derail President Trump's America First agenda has reached a fever pitch, with over 100 frivolous lawsuits filed against his administration since January. But Trump isn't taking their lawfare lying down. In a bold move that should have Democrats and their army of activist attorneys panicking, Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate anti-Trump lawyers and law firms attempting to hamstring his presidency through baseless litigation. The timing couldn't be more critical, with an unprecedented 15 injunctions slapped against presidential actions just last month—far more than Obama or Biden ever faced. The Left's desperation...

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that if President Donald Trump continued to make statements about impeaching judges, he could “tick off” the Supreme Court and lose cases. Christie said, “Look, it is the MO of this first quarter of the Trump administration, which is we are going to try to use the power of the presidency in every way we can, and in this instance to intimidate people from availing themselves of the rights they have as American citizens to access the court system if they think the government has done something wrong....

KYIV, Ukraine—It was a scorching summer day in 2014 when Artem Kravchenko and hundreds of other Ukrainian soldiers put their trust in a Russian promise not to open fire and retreated in a column from the surrounded city of Ilovaisk. By the end of the day, Kravchenko found himself lying in a ditch surrounded by dead comrades after Russian forces shot up the column. With three Russian bullets in his body, he had to drink his own urine to survive. “They started shooting from the right, so we went to the left and met another ambush there,” said Kravchenko, who...

If peace is on the way, why are they feverishly preparing for World War III? It appears to me that NATO countries are convinced that something really big is coming. Is there something that they know that they aren’t telling the rest of us? As I discussed yesterday, things in the Middle East are really heating up, and the conflict in Ukraine has reached a very dangerous stage.

In two months, a blitz of action by the nation’s new administration — Trump, chapter two — has journalists on their heels. Lawsuits. A newly aggressive Federal Communications Commission. An effort to control the press corps that covers the president, prompting legal action by The Associated Press. A gutted Voice of America....
