Michael Leiter, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S., said Sunday that the Iranian people must mobilize to overthrow the Islamic Republic regime.“I think that we need boots on the ground, but they have got to be Iranian boots, and I think they’re coming,” Leiter told host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.” He noted that the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran will only end when there is “not an entity in Tehran that’s going to threaten the region.”

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron explained today that the French Army simply could not help open the Strait of Hormuz as all fifteen of its soldiers have already been deployed to defend Greenland. Though expressing their sincere desire to help, Macron stated that France simply did not have the military resources to help open the Strait while maintaining its protection of Greenland. "All of France's military might, specifically the one unit we have with fifteen soldiers, is already deployed," said Macron. "They cannot be relocated as they are bravely defending the shores of Greenland. Specifically, the one shore that's...

The offices of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance had people of all ages on Wednesday night waiting for the end of the nightly Ramadan fast, from children sitting at tables doing math homework to cab drivers just getting off their shifts. Just before it was time to pray and eat, someone announced a special guest was coming to their iftar, the evening meal to break fast during Ramadan. “I know who it is,” shouted a boy from the back of the room to laughter. Mayor Zohran Mamdani soon entered and joined them.

Israel launched a major attack on an Iranian gas field this week, prompting retaliation by Iran against Gulf States, a threat to global energy supplies and a surge in fuel prices. President Trump first insisted the United States “knew nothing about” the strike, then later backtracked and said he warned Israel against attacking the complex. His attempt to distance his administration from the strike underscored the diverging aims of the United States and Israel as their war against Iran grinds on. As a superpower with global responsibilities, the United States cares deeply about global energy supplies and the safety of...

A Muslim preacher calls on Muslims to show themselves during a banned demonstration in support of Palestinians at Richardplatz, Neukölln, Berlin on October 11, 2023, four days after the October 7 Hamas pogrom in Israel. JOHN MACDOUGALL / AFP. The last thing Berlin needs is a day against Islamophobia—what it does need is better politicians. Last Sunday, March 15th, was Berlin’s first “Day of Action and Commemoration against Islamophobia”—an event the city’s senate claimed was intended to strengthen “diversity and social cohesion.” It might better be described as a ‘day of intimidation’ directed at the many Berliners who disagree with...

Life is more chaotic, and life is more extreme. The last...

OnlyFans, emotions and the first female home plate umpire in MLB history … this is why women can’t have nice things! The 2026 season for Major League Baseball will see the implementation of the automated ball-strike (ABS) challenge system into actual games. Meaning, umpires will have to be on their toes this year, or get called out like it’s everybody’s business. Just take this example that I have for you today. In the 2025 campaign, Jen Pawol made MLB history by becoming the first female umpire to work a regular-season contest, which took place Aug. 9 in a game between...

Iran’s armed forces headquarters has declared it is ready to close the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely if US President Donald Trump carries out a threat to bomb Iran’s power plants. Its statement Sunday is the latest warning from Tehran of retribution for any attacks on the country’s power industry. Trump said Saturday he would order the bombardment of such infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz was not fully open to shipping within 48 hours. Iran’s military responded Sunday that if the US threats regarding Iran’s power plants are carried out, the Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed and will...

IF YOU HAD HBO IN THE LATE 1980s and early 1990s, odds are good you were never more than a few hours away from a certain type of film. They were straightforward, pleasing pictures: a laconic, sandy-haired American dispensed justice with a minimum of wit and a maximum of roundhouse kicks. Rarely much longer than 105 minutes, you didn’t need to watch them from start to finish; they were almost designed to be watched in bits and pieces. You could pick up the plot as you went: Odds are there were some bad guys in black pajamas and a soldier...

A California-born American citizen is reportedly rising to lead Mexico’s most powerful drug cartel, and his U.S. citizenship could shield him from the intelligence tools that helped take down his predecessor. Juan Carlos Valencia González, 41, began consolidating control of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel shortly after Mexican special forces killed his stepfather, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera, in early March, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Two senior commanders reportedly stood aside rather than contest his takeover, keeping the organization intact, WSJ reported. Valencia González was born in Santa Ana, California. His biological father, Armando Valencia Cornelio, founded the...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just dropped some new merchandise referencing a line from a hearing related to the Epstein files. Upon learning that Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert leaked a photo of her there, she stormed out, expressing that she didn’t care if the panel held her in contempt. “You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home,” she said.

Dear Leader Thune, From 1776 to today, the total number of Americans is estimated to have been around 600 million. That’s about twice what the population is today. One wonders how many historical figures most Americans can name. There are, of course, the obvious ones like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and MLK, who are probably at the top of the list for most Americans. They were all known for having done great things. Most of the rest no one remembers. According to Grok “The average American can likely freely name 10–30 historical figures without much prompting—mostly...

ICE officers will be deployed to airports to help clear the horrendous security lines for the TSA, which ran out of funding more than a month ago because of a Democrat shutdown, President Trump announced Sunday. The move is meant to speed up security lines, which have stretched up to three hours at some airports as TSA agents walk off the job or call out sick because they haven’t been paid in weeks. “On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA Agents who have stayed on the job despite the fact that the Radical Left...

More than half of the NYPD’s Joint Terrorism Task Force cops can retire right now, along with thousands of sergeants, lieutenants and captains, worrying officials about the future of terror and crime fighting in Gotham, The Post has learned. Forty-five of 82 JTTF detectives – or 55% – have 20 years under their belts, which is enough time on the job to leave with a full pension, according to union data. There are 5,121 active detectives in the NYPD and 1,193 of them — or 23% — are in the same boat, eligible for a full pension after 20 years....

Migrants from a staggering 150 countries are living in taxpayer-funded asylum hotels, a Sunday Express investigation can reveal. Foreign nationals from Spain, America, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and hotspots such as St Lucia and Barbados are among the 30,657 in controversial venues across the country. Critics branded the figures “shameful” as they warned many of the countries on the list are “safe, sunny holiday destinations”. More than one in three asylum seekers living in hotels are from African countries, while Afghans and Iranians make up the biggest cohorts. But our investigation reveals the widespread makeup of nationalities in asylum hotels. It...
