    HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - After 48 years in the United States, decorated Army veteran Sae Joon Park left his life and family in Hawaii on Monday, not knowing when he’ll see them again. He self deported to South Korea, under the watchful eyes of ICE agents. Park tearfully hugged his son, daughter, parents, aunts, and friends at Honolulu airport. “This really kills me that I just have to drop everything and leave like this,” Park said in an interview with Hawaii News Now before his last day in the U.S. “They’re all worried about me. They’re like, letting me know, ‘Oh,...

    U.S. Department of Agriculture ^ | June 23, 2025 | Brooke L. Rollins
    Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced during a meeting of the Western Governors’ Association in New Mexico, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule. This outdated administrative rule contradicts the will of Congress and goes against the mandate of the USDA Forest Service to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation's forests and grasslands. Rescinding this rule will remove prohibitions on road construction, reconstruction, and timber harvest on nearly 59 million acres of the National Forest System, allowing for fire prevention and responsible timber production. This rule is overly restrictive...

    It’s not just your imagination. Lefties really are completely un-self-aware about what tyrants they are, and one professor with five thousand study participants proved it. October 2024’s article, The Left Has an Authoritarian Problem (but Doesn’t Know It), was written by social psychologist Luke Conway who “has been featured in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Psychology Today, and others, as well as on the BBC and NPR” and draws from three “decades of authoritarianism research.” The article appears in an online publication called “Presser” which, according to their “What is Presser?” page, launched in 2024...

    For 30 years, Democrats and some Republicans lied about stopping Iran. Trump did it.. “Iran’s appetite for acquiring and developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them has only grown larger,” Bill Clinton claimed in 1995. “We have tried to stop its quest to acquire weapons of mass destruction, which would make it a threat not only to its neighbors but to the entire region and the world.” “For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” George W. Bush declared. “America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon,...

Iran denied violating the ceasefire. The armed forces general staff denied that there had been any launch of missiles towards Israel in recent hours, Iran's Nour News reported

    NY Post ^ | 6/23/25 | Hannah Fierick
    The Chicago Tribune issued a grim warning to New Yorkers about electing a socialist mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani in a bombshell op-ed Monday, the day before the Empire State’s primary elections. The paper’s editorial board paints a bleak image of Mamdani, the 33-year-old Democratic socialist Queens assemblyman who leapfrogged longtime frontrunner, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in a stunning new poll released earlier in the day. “A familiar dilemma: a moderate, business-friendly Democrat versus a democratic socialist. New Yorkers, take it from Chicago — we’ve seen this movie before, and the ending isn’t pretty,” the board of one of the...

    Donald Trump has again claimed the US “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear facilities and called Tehran’s response “very weak”, with 13 out of 14 missiles intercepted. Trump thanked Iran for giving the United States notice prior to shooting missiles at its military base in Qatar, which he said made it possible for no lives – both Qatari and American – to be lost. “I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done. Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE,” Trump wrote in a post...

  • 'It came from me': How a man from Mumbai helped China steal the B-2 and build a bomber of its own

    Now serving a 32-year sentence in the supermax prison at Florence, Colorado, Gowadia confessed in his final statement to the FBI: “What I did was espionage and treason… I shared military secrets with the PRC.” As the U.S. deployed its B-2 Spirit bombers to vaporize Iran’s underground nuclear sites in a high-stakes precision strike, a chilling echo stirred half a world away. On a barren airstrip in western China, a ghostly war machine—eerily similar in shape and scale to the B-2—rolled into view. It wasn’t just mimicry. It was theft, nearly two decades in the making—facilitated by a brilliant Indian-American...

Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Aragchi, tweeted that "provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people...we have no intention to continue our response afterwards." adding that "The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later." Iranian state media later announced that a ceasefire was indeed...
