Additionally, Trump warned Iran not to close the Strait of Hormuz in an overnight conversation, Fox News reported Sunday. "You close it, and you won't have a country," Trump said he told Iranian officials, according to the Fox News...

BREAKING: President Trump confirms Keir Starmer is resigning as Prime Minister… before Starmer has confirmed it himself. The final humiliation.

MAJDAL ZOUN, Lebanon — Buried beneath a hilltop village in southern Lebanon, just kilometers from the Israeli border, the Hezbollah terror group built an underground drone “airbase” from which it launched Iranian-made unmanned aerial vehicles at Israel. The subterranean facility, guarded by massive steel blast doors, was built in the past decade with direct Iranian assistance, including planning and funding, Israeli military officials told The Times of Israel during an organized media tour of the site last week. Journalists were brought into Lebanon at dusk, so that the visit to the tunnel would take place under the cover of darkness...

Although the family of Karmelo Anthony brought in more than $600,000 in a fundraising pitch after the now-convicted killer was charged with murder, Anthony now says he is broke. Anthony filed to have taxpayers foot the bill for the appeal of his murder conviction and 35-year sentence, according to Fox News. Days after he was sentenced for stabbing Austin Metcalf in April 2025, when the killer and victim were each 17, Anthony filed the forms demanding someone else pay for his appeal. In the filing he said he was “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to...

Donald Trump says Keir Starmer will resign as PM after he "failed badly" on immigration and energy

Damning new evidence that Sir Keir Starmer ordered the interception of a Russian 'shadow fleet' oil tanker in the English Channel in a desperate effort to shore up his weakening grip on Downing Street has emerged after defence experts said that film of the event had been 'stage-managed' Sources have said that Sir Keir gave the go-ahead for last weekend's raid on the Smyrtos by Royal Marines, driven by the need to produce a 'PR boost' for the embattled Prime Minister just days after Defence Secretary John Healey quit over lack of funding for defence. It was also during the...

The era of total victory died when the communists made inroads into the Democrat party, so Trump must think outside the box. As regular readers know, I’ve been completely off from work for almost three weeks so that I could travel to the Far East to help with my new (and first) grandchild. Helping with a newborn tends to put everything in perspective because that fragile little being’s survival is the single most important thing on the agenda. Paying attention to the news took second place to offering whatever practical help I could. Those of us who saw Iran as...

After officials kicked off the opening weekend of the Barack Obama Presidential Center with a widely mocked “land acknowledgment” — a nod to the political far left that believes the United States was built on “stolen land” — a traditional Native American dance show was featured during Saturday’s scheduled events. The Black Hawk Performance Company is a Native American dance troupe based in the Chicago area, composed of dancers from several Indigenous tribes. Saturday marked the third day of the Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening, which featured musical and cultural performances ranging from international superstars like John Legend to local...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris offered podcast host Don Lemon her own definition of the word “hope” on Friday, resulting in a clip that has since gone viral on social media as a “word salad” response. “I really, truly believe this,” Harris said. “We each have light inside of us. And we need to know that that is what inspires our hope as much as anything external to ourselves.” The former vice president and 2026 presidential candidate continued her long-winded response, imploring Americans not to lose sight of their vision of the future when faced with political or personal loss....

Autopen pardons can’t possibly be constitutional. Why not test the theory on a few high-profile malefactors? Near the end of Joe Biden’s incompetence, corruption, and dementia extravaganza, thousands of pardons were issued — many for unstated crimes. Most weren’t done with a pen in a human hand, as our founders intended. The were done with an autopen — a machine that can imitate a human signature. Given Joey “SoftServe’s” mental state, there’s ample reason to question whether the machine-signed pardons were a valid reflection of the president’s will, such as it was. On December 2, 2025, after the magnitude of...

It seems the smoke swirling around Dr. Anthony Fauci just keeps getting thicker. Every time the former government health czar slips out of sight, another revelation pops up about his questionable decisions, his political maneuvering, or his desperate attempts to protect himself from accountability. The latest twist came from a bombshell conversation shared by independent journalist Nick Shirley, who claims Fauci was frantically seeking a presidential pardon on the very morning Joe Biden shuffled out of the White House. According to Shirley’s interview with Pardon Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr., Fauci’s lawyers were emailing feverishly to ensure their client secured...

French President Emmanuel Macron has shot down the idea of backing a collective European project to establish illegal migrant return hubs outside the bloc, after the EU Parliament paved the way earlier this week. Claiming that it is contrary to the supposed values of “Europe”, President Macron said that France will not agree to fund any EU migrant return hubs, nor will Paris seek to partner on an individual basis with a third-party country, as it will be allowed to under the new returns regulations passed on Wednesday in Strasbourg. Rather than allowing illegals to remain in EU nations while...

It’s not Israel. It’s not even Iran. Look closer to home. At this point, everyone is familiar with the 14 points of the Memorandum of Understanding between President Trump and remnants of Iran’s power structure. The document appears to use careful, ambiguous diplomatic language, but it actually serves as a raw political instrument. To decipher its true meaning, one must strip away the mannerly phrasing and read it in the plain political lexicon — the language of power, elections, and survival. Article 1 states that midterm elections in America will take place in November 2026. Article 2 specifies that they...
