WASHINGTON — President Trump told The Post Friday that he knew Israel would strike Iran if the theocratic regime didn’t quickly agree to a revised nuclear deal with the US. “I always knew the date,” the president said in a brief phone interview. “Because I know everything. I know everything. I know everything. “I gave them 60 days and they didn’t meet it,” Trump went on. “Today’s 61, you know. Today’s day 61.” The president had never publicly revealed the 60-day deadline — though its existence had been reported by Israeli media — until after Israel launched Thursday’s attack, and...

They died in their own beds. Hossein Salami and Ali Shamkhani—Iran’s most senior military officers and the stewards of Iran’s nuclear weapons program—had spent years threatening Israel with destruction. They issued taunts, organized terrorist attacks, and orchestrated, since October 7, the encirclement of the Jewish state in a ring of fire of their terror proxies. And they knew—without the slightest illusion—that Israel had the capability and resolve to kill them. This cohort saw the Israeli air force bury Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah in his bunker, hundreds of meters beneath the streets of Beirut. They saw Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh vaporized in...

The following is adapted from a speech delivered on May 13, 2023, at Hillsdale College’s 171st Commencement Ceremony. Congratulations to the Hillsdale College Class of 2023. It is a thrill to be here at Hillsdale, which I have heard about for a long time. Last night I had a wonderful tour of campus, and the evening culminated in a concert in your beautiful chapel. The concert included Mahler’s First Symphony played by the student orchestra and was just marvelous. When I was a theology professor, I taught a course on the Reformation for many years, taking seriously the works of...

Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, which aims to neuter Iran’s nuclear and long-range weapons capabilities, began with an overnight attack on a wide array of targets. These strikes included the use of drones and missiles launched by operatives from deep within Iran. This is the conclusion of a report from Israeli outlet N12, which cites an unnamed Israeli security source.While details understandably remain thin, the implication is that Mossad meticulously prepared for the attack over many months, including placing agents in Iran. From there, they would operate one-way attack drones and loitering anti-armor missiles, as well as establish a covert drone...

In a nutshell Scientists connected 10 ultra-precise atomic clocks across six countries in the largest coordinated timekeeping experiment ever conducted While many clocks agreed to extraordinary precision, the study revealed concerning discrepancies that highlight challenges in global clock synchronization This research is a crucial step toward redefining the international second using optical clocks by 2030, potentially revolutionizing global timekeeping ****************************************************************** EUROPE — Every clock in your house probably tells a slightly different time. Now picture those clocks as the most precise instruments humanity has ever built, so accurate that they wouldn’t lose or gain a second for billions of years....

As 100PercentFedUp previously reported, Israel launched several precision airstrikes on Iran on Thursday night. The IDF conducted several key airstrikes on nuclear facilities and the homes of top Iranian scientists and military officials. One of the most notable military officials killed in the first wave of airstrikes was the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, Hossein Salami. It’s now been reported that nearly two dozen senior Iranian military officials have been killed in the airstrikes. The Times of Israel had the numbers: At least 20 senior Iranian commanders, including IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, were killed in Israel’s...

Missile launches have been detected in Iran, residents across Israel are told to get to shelters immediately

On May 29, 2025, a bipartisan group of members in the House of Representatives from the Financial Services and Agriculture Committees introduced the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act. The bill seeks to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States, with regulatory jurisdiction primarily split between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

VIDEOOn Saturday, June 14, we have a confluence of events. The 250th anniversary of the Army, Flag Day, President Trump's Birthday, a grand military march in Washington D.C., the leftist "No Kings Day" protests against the previous four events, annnnnd the day that Alex Soros marries Anthony Weiner's ex, Huma Abedin.As you can see in this video, the bed springs in their honeymoon suite will get little to no action following the wedding. Oh, and if you are wondering why we have heard NOTHING from Alex Soros since January 2024 it is because a couple of DUmmie FUnnies videos of...

CNN host Dana Bash said Friday on “The Situation Room” that during a phone conversation, President Donald Trump said the hardline negotiators he was dealing with in Iran were killed in Israel’s military strike. Bash said, “Well, my first question, it was a very brief conversation, but my first question was about the secretary of state’s remarks last night. His statement, which you mentioned in the open to the show, which explicitly said that the U.S. was notified about the Israeli strikes shortly before they happened, certainly warned Iran not to retaliate against U.S. assets. But the boilerplate language that...

The U.S. Congress is in the thick of its crypto efforts this week, with the Senate starting on final votes to approve its first-ever crypto bill. The U.S. Senate has easily passed its first significant vote 68-30 toward final approval of the GENIUS Act to regulate U.S. stablecoin issuers. The vote makes final passage of the bill a near certainty, marking the first major crypto bill to pass in the U.S. Senate, which had been the bottleneck for crypto efforts in past years. The House of Representatives has also made significant strides in advancing a crypto market structure bill, with...

Appendix cancer is a condition that, until recently, was so rare that most people never gave it a second thought.For decades, it was the kind of disease that doctors might encounter only once or twice in a career, and it was almost always found in older adults.But now a surprising and concerning trend is emerging: appendix cancer is being diagnosed more often, and it's increasingly affecting people in their 30s, 40s and even younger. This shift has left many experts puzzled and searching for answers.The appendix is a small, finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine. Its purpose in the...

After four consecutive months of year-over-year inventory increases, California is now solidly a buyer's market, which means the supply of homes is greater than the demand for properties in the state. That is happening in part because, as real estate analyst Nick Gerli put it, "no one is buying homes in California." Home sales in the Golden State are hovering just below the lows of the Great Recession, according to a recent report by Realtor.com, as sky-high prices and elevated mortgage rates keep buyers on the sidelines of the market.

More than 1,500 “No Kings Day” rallies are expected to disrupt hundreds of cities in all 50 states Saturday, protesting President Trump as the Army’s 250th anniversary military parade takes place in Washington, DC. A map on NoKings.org shows planned demonstrations across the US and Canada in what organizers call “a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.” Jamie Bauer, a representative of No Kings, told The Post that crowds could exceed 75,000 in New York City alone.

"We express our profound concern regarding the dangerous escalation of tensions in the Middle East" "We strongly condemn Israel's military actions on the night of June 13 in clear violation of the UN Charter & established principles of international law"

Men who engage in the online “manosphere” and the content of Andrew Tate are often able to express a “strong commitment to equal treatment and fairness”, according to research commissioned by Ofcom. Prompted by growing concerns about internet misogyny, researchers for the UK communications regulator followed the journeys of dozens of men through online content ranging from the US podcaster Joe Rogan to forums for “incels” (involuntary celibates). They found that while a minority encountered “extremely misogynistic content”, many users of the manosphere were critically engaged, selective and capable of discarding messages that did not resonate with their values. They...

On Thursday afternoon California time, I boarded a flight with my children and began the next phase of a temporary move to Washington, DC, where we will be while our fire-ravaged neighborhood is rebuilt. I checked the news before we boarded, and while there had been rumors all day that Israel might attack Iran, there was no news about it by the time we took off. There was also no WiFi on the flight — a rarity — so I sat down to write my weekly column offline. I was concerned about the skepticism I perceived, especially on the American...
