When Argentina elected outspoken libertarian Javier Milei, I expected great things from the South American nation. He's a free market, free people kind of guy who took the highest office in a nation that has been plagued with problems. The dude has been compared to Donald Trump, but he's far more of a pro-liberty guy than even The Donald. I've been interested to see what he'd do, and what I've seen so far mostly looks good. This, though, blows everything else out of the water. President of Argentina Javier Milei signed a decree Wednesday broadening gun rights in the country...

At least 22 worshippers have been killed and 63 wounded in a suicide bomb attack at a Christian church in Syria. The bomber opened fire as people were praying inside Mar Elias Church, in the Dweila neighbourhood of Damascus, before detonating his vest. Some children are thought to be among the wounded, according to state media. Horrifying footage showed blood splattered over the shattered pews and masonry walls following the blast. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but Syria's interior ministry said a member of the Islamic State group was behind Sunday's attack. 'A suicide attacker affiliated with...

Horrific footage from a church service's livestream showed the moment that frantic families started running for their lives when an active shooter opened fire. CrossPointe Church in Wayne, Michigan, was hosting its Sunday morning mass when the suspect, described by police as a white man, 31, suddenly rammed his Ford F-150 truck into the building and started shooting bullets at the terrified congregation inside. Deputy Chief Finley Carter III with the Michigan Police Department said the suspect's identity wasn't being released at this time, and they are still investigating a motive. The department confirmed the unnamed suspect was killed at...

Below is a list of notable attacks attributed to Iran and its proxies against the United States or U.S. interests since 1970, based on available information.

Note that some incidents involve plausible deniability by Iran, and the extent of their control over proxies varies. Attacks and Incidents by Iran and Its Proxies Against the...

"If the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be regime change?"

President Trump has launched the United States into the spiraling Israel-Iran war, ordering strikes on the latter Middle Eastern country in the middle of the night Saturday in an attempt to crush its nuclear program. “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump announced on Truth Social just before 8 p.m. ET, 3:30 a.m. Iran time. The president’s move to get the US involved in Israel’s military operations — now in their second week after large-scale airstrikes on June 13 took out 20 of Iran’s senior military leaders...

EL PASO, Texas – Border officers have intercepted yet another massive load of cash headed to Mexico. U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel inspecting cars leaving the United States over the Anzalduas International Bridge in Hidalgo County, Texas, report seizing $815,475 in bulk, unreported cash “hidden within the vehicle” earlier this week. ... The vehicle was a 2025 Honda Odyssey SUV driven by a 44-year-old male U.S. citizen. Homeland Security Investigations agents are investigating the man, the source and the destination of the cash. “Our CBP officers’ continued vigilance led to this major currency seizure. These outbound interceptions are key...

President Trump sending U.S. troops to bomb Iran without the consent of Congress is a blatant violation of our Constitution.

President Trump has caught Democrats off guard over how to respond to the decisive airstrikes he ordered against Iran’s nuclear program — perhaps the most consequential move of his second administration. While some Democrats erupted in fury, including a few like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who demanded he be impeached, others are outright praising the attacks as overdue. Dem leadership, meanwhile, is seemingly moving the goalposts for how tough they expect Trump to be on Iran. “It’s all over the map,” Democratic strategist Brad Bannon, who hosts the progressive podcast “Deadline DC,” admitted to The Post about the party’s messaging on...

Hello everyone! I recently released my very first science-fiction, political-thriller novel on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. I've been told that the work seems to embody the writing style of a Tom Clancy or a Michael Crichton, blended with an Isaac Asimov. While this is high praise, indeed, I want to go to the next level. Enter an analysis of a very quiet, very low-action scene in the first season of Game of Thrones. That analysis is here.The analysis is stellar. The writing is stellar. The analysis talks about how: Robert Baratheon was not a lecherous drunkard, but actually a very...

Newly released satellite images showcase the aftermath of the 30,000 pound “bunker-buster” bombs the United States dropped on Iranian nuclear facilities. The U.S. operation, known as “Midnight Hammer” occurred on Saturday night, utilizing over 125 aircraft including seven 8-2 stealth bombers, multiple fighter jets, dozens of air refueling tankers, as well as a guided missile submarine and multiple reconnaissance aircraft, according to Joint Chiefs Chairman Air Force Gen. Dan Caine in a Sunday briefing. The attack struck three Iranian nuclear facilities including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. Before and after images reveal the entire topography of the mountain protecting Iran’s Fordow...

How long do you think this level of conflict will last? Days, weeks, months, a year or more? End of conflict defined here as no more major missile or bomber attacks for an extended period. The kind of attacks that take down buildings.

An appeals court on Friday revived a legal challenge against a Washington, D.C., law allowing noncitizens, including illegal migrants, the ability to vote in local elections. An Obama-appointed judge in March 2024 dismissed a lawsuit challenging the district law giving certain noncitizens the right to vote in elections within the District of Columbia, ruling that the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue. However, an appeals court Friday breathed life back into that challenge, finding that the law could dilute the voting power of citizens. “As long as each person can be said to have suffered a distinct and concrete...

In Iran, women are beaten, tortured, imprisoned, raped, and even killed under the lslamic regime simply for not wearing a hijab. Do you really think these are the good guys?

The Iranian foreign minister said on Sunday that he was heading to Russia to meet with President Vladimir V. Putin on Monday, as Iran weighed a response to a wave of U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites. There was little sign that Russia was prepared to provide military assistance to Iran, its closest remaining Middle East ally, as it prioritized its own war against Ukraine. Iran has not received concrete support from any allies through 10 days of war with Israel and, now, an attack by the United States, leaving the country more isolated than it has been in decades....

Russia's former president said that the production of nuclear weapons in Iran will continue Russia's former president said that multiple countries are poised to provide Iran with nuclear warheads after the U.S. launched strikes against three Iranian nuclear facilities. The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue," Dmitry Medvedev, now the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, said in a Sunday X post. "A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads," Medvedev said. Medvedev did not list...

President Donald Trump sensationally called for a regime change in Iran as he held crisis talks with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday. The US president took to his Truth Social page to share updates about the country's military attacks on Iran, when he suggested that the current regime 'is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN.' 'Why wouldn't there be a regime change,' Trump asked, rhetorically - even as he and Starmer urged Ayatollah Khameini to 'return to the negotiating table as soon as possible.' They made the urgent request after the US sent a fleet of B-2 bombers...
