A new COVID-19 variant, BA.3.2, has been detected in 25 states, according to a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

American families are in crisis… In the U.S., fewer young people are getting married, and they are having fewer children. They struggle to afford a first house… Groceries are expensive; mortgage rates and housing prices are crushing. Whatever the future holds, America’s young parents know it almost certainly will include having to take care of aging Boomers and their own small children at the same time, with a demographic structure more weighted toward the elderly than at any other time in history… The current administration and Congress were elected at least in part on promises to meet these challenges. And,...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a surprise visit to Saudi Arabia on Thursday amid a wider effort to lend Ukraine’s drone defense expertise to the U.S. and Gulf States. Zelensky had offered his country’s expertise in defense against kamikaze drone attacks, cultivated in its grinding war against Russia, just days after the war began. These promised personnel arrived in the Middle East recently, with Zelensky saying last week that 201 personnel had been deployed, and another 34 were on their way. Drones were at the top of the agenda of Zelensky’s visit. In a post on X, he stated that...

The Tennessee Senate passed legislation Monday allowing patients to sue their doctor for “coercing” them into seeking gender reassignment some 30 years after treatment. Republican Sen. Adam Lowe of Calhoun passed Senate Bill 2031 24-5 although he was unable to provide evidence that physicians are persuading people to seek transgender care. Responding to questions from Democratic lawmakers, Lowe said the law would apply when someone is “de-transitioning” from previous gender treatment “under some sort of premise of wellness that they didn’t achieve.” He explained that a similar private cause of action exists in a Tennessee law enacted three years ago...

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK could win a staggering 2,260 seats at next month’s local elections in England. Polling experts are predicting the biggest victory in decades. And they have warned that Labour could lose almost 2,000 councillors as the nation turns on Sir Keir Starmer. The Tories are also expected to suffer a brutal night on May 7, which could see them losing more than 1,000 seats. Zack Polanski’s Green Party is likely to be the biggest beneficiary, boosting its numbers on councils across the country by around 450. According to leading psephologist Steve Fisher, Reform UK’s expected victories will...

Even while faced with a Russian invasion of their nation, some elements in the Ukrainian government were plotting to help the Biden re-election campaign — with U.S. taxpayer money. That was the gist of an explosive article Thursday from the Washington-based website Just the News, citing a declassified intelligence report. And Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly on the case. The Just the News report was authored by website founder John Solomon, a veteran, highly respected D.C. journalist, and Just the News chief investigative correspondent Jeff Dunleavy. It claimed that U.S. intelligence intercepts had revealed that personnel in...

55-Minute Listen You probably know Flea as the bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers (or his numerous side projects and collaborations, not to mention his roles in movies and TV going back to the early 1980s). But did you know jazz was his first love? "When I was a kid, I wanted to be a jazz trumpet player. I wanted to be Dizzy Gillespie," he tells Christian McBride. In this conversation, Flea traces his musical path from bebop sessions in his stepfather's living room to a chance encounter with Dizzy backstage at UCLA, and eventually back to the trumpet...

An official from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the minimum age for participation in war-related support roles has been lowered to 12, according to remarks aired on state media. Rahim Nadali, a cultural official with the Guards in Tehran, said an initiative called “For Iran” was recruiting participants to assist with activities such as patrols, checkpoints and logistics. “Given that the age of those coming forward has dropped and they are asking to take part, we lowered the minimum age to 12,” he said, adding that 12- and 13-year-olds could now take part if they wished. The comments were broadcast as...

Breaking update: President Trump announced he has instructed the Department of Homeland Security to pay the TSA Agents. Trump said he will sign an order instructing DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin to pay TSA agents. “The Radical Left Democrats, and their “Leader,” Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, have made it very clear where they stand, and that is, ON THE SIDE OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen again. They almost destroyed our Country, allowing 25 Million People to enter...

Iran has escalated its rhetoric amid the ongoing conflict with the United States, as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warn of potential nuclear action. Hardline factions of Iran are claiming that “one million fighters” are ready to respond to any American ground invasion, Reuters reported. The warning comes as tensions in the Middle East continue to spiral following weeks of military exchanges, stalled diplomacy, and growing concerns over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. Iran’s nuclear escalation stance According to Reuters, the IRGC is currently in control after veteran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on February 28 at the beginning...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) acknowledged on Wednesday that he is “more popular” among Republicans, but said he nonetheless finds this “confusing.” On Monday, Fetterman was the lone Democrat to vote to confirm Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) as Secretary of Homeland Security. As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, Fetterman had voted to advance Mullin’s nomination out of the committee, which turned out to be the deciding vote because committee Chair Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against Mullin. Fetterman has sided with Republicans and President Donald Trump in some other notable votes. Early this month, he was the only Democratic senator...

Jimmy Kimmel is a free speech warrior and a man of the people — well, some of the people. Earlier this week, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host slammed new U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin as “unqualified” for a curious reason. “Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. “That’s right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. It worked for Super Mario. Why not Markwayne?” Mullin, who until last week was a Senator from Oklahoma, took over the family plumbing business when his father became ill. Kimmel...

WASHINGTON — President Trump ended two days of guessing Thursday by saying that Iran had gifted him 10 “big boats” of oil in a show of goodwill. “They said, ‘To show you the fact that we’re real and solid and we’re there, we’re going to let you have eight boats of oil — eight boats, eight big boats of oil.’ … and I didn’t think much about it,” Trump said at a cabinet meeting. “And then I watched the news, and they said … ‘There are eight boats that are going right up the middle of the Hormuz Strait, eight...

Conservatives from across the country will descend on Texas this week for the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), one of the largest gatherings for Republicans in the year. But the yearly gathering comes during a fraught time for the party as the ongoing war with Iran has split some of President Donald Trump's MAGA followers. And for the first time in nearly a decade, Trump will not attend the event. A White House official told ABC News that Trump could not attend due to his schedule and the ongoing conflict in Iran. Vice President JD Vance, who spoke at the...

For weeks now, frustrated travelers trying to catch flights all over the United States have been caught in hours-long security-check lines as overwhelmed Transportation Security Administration agents were forced to work without pay. It’s not the first time that federal funding for TSA — a highly visible service that impacts millions of Americans daily — has been caught up in a political brawl in Congress, this time over immigration enforcement. It doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, it never should have happened, not even once. That’s because taxpayers and travelers already pay for transportation security, not through their...

President Donald Trump announced Thursday afternoon a ten-day pause in his threat to order strikes against Iranian energy plants to give more time for the “ongoing” talks to potentially reach a deal. The strikes against Iran, jointly conducted by the U.S. and Israel, have been controversial. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in one of the strikes and another hit an elementary school, killing at least 175 people, mostly young girls who were students there. Trump denied responsibility but media reports have shown it was a Tomahawk missile that hit the school, a weapon that only the U.S. has,...
