Police are asking the public to not attend the statewide No Kings protests against President Trump scheduled for today.

House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson (R-Penn) defended the proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), saying "SNAP was never intended to be the entitlement welfare that Democrats have turned it into. Our Bill is putting it back on course by implementing 20 hours per week work requirements for able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 64 years old, excluding candy, snacks, junk food, and soda from being eligible for SNAP purchases, booting illegal migrants from the benefit rolls and shifting 5% of the cost burden of the program from the federal government to the states." "How...

This is a spiritual war. There is “No King but Jesus”.. This weekend a number or riots are planned across the country. These activities are labeled “No King” riots. ... The “No King” effort is all a lie and makes it more evident that we are in a spiritual war right now.

It’s also Flag day. We need to pray for the entire United States this weekend...

Israeli assassination campaign 2. Israeli air campaign 3. Iranian missile campaign 1. Israeli targeted killings The Israelis kicked off their attack on Iran early yesterday morning (local time) with a series of targeted attacks aimed at assassinating senior leaders in the Iranian armed services as well as nuclear scientists. Alongside several scientists and Ali Shamkhani (a very prominent diplomat), three prominent figures in the Islamic...

Democrats are a mess. They have no message other than "Trump bad." They've made one stupid move after another, siding with human traffickers, drug smugglers, and CEO killers. Nothing is working, so they have resorted to theatrics led by one Alex Padilla. If I had to guess, I'd say this was planned in advance and that pretty much all Democrats were given a heads-up about it. Alex Padilla, the emotionally volatile lightweight senior Senator from California, pulled off one of the most stupid and obvious stunts we've seen in some time. He interrupted an official proceeding and appeared ready to...

A Washington State school district is defending a teacher who posted a “This Teacher Kills Fascists” sign on social media the end of last month. In the since-deleted Instagram post, Olympia High School teacher Ryan Akiyama (pictured) noted he had planned on putting the sign on his hydration pack for an upcoming race. According to The Olympian, Akiyama also wrote “Might need to print it on a T-shirt next for all my fellow WOKE DEI educators still showing up with courage and care. Yes, I’m woke. Yes, I teach DEI. No, I’m not sorry if that triggers the willfully ignorant.”...

Israel’s surprise attack on Iran in the early morning hours of June 13 saw more than 200 aircraft strike more than 100 targets in Iran. Among the targets were key Iranian commanders, including the head of the Iranian army and also the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This type of decapitation strike is how Israel dismantled Hezbollah, Iran’s ally in Lebanon.

Federal District Court Judge Charles Breyer's order instructing President Trump to turn control over the National Guard troops he assigned to protect federal property and the ICE agents working in Los Angeles to Gov. Newsom was stayed by a three judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Newsom called the stay "a tragic miscarriage of justice. The city was entirely peaceful until ICE started the trouble by trying to arrest folks that I granted sanctuary. If it weren't for this provocation there would've been no need for protesters to start fires, assault police, and loot a shoe store...

As they pounded the Iranian nuclear facilities yesterday, the Israelis were finally doing what so many Western leaders had expected they would do for years, if not decades. In fact, let us be honest: the rest of the world has not just been expecting this Israeli action. Secretly or openly, many governments have been hoping for it. In one astonishing operation the Israelis crippled the Natanz enrichment reactor and seriously damaged two others. They took out six of the most important Iranian nuclear scientists, as well as an astonishing array of the country’s top brass. They blew up radars and...

VIDEOOn Saturday, June 14, we have a confluence of events. The 250th anniversary of the Army, Flag Day, President Trump's Birthday, a grand military march in Washington D.C., the leftist "No Kings Day" protests against the previous four events, annnnnd the day that Alex Soros marries Anthony Weiner's ex, Huma Abedin.As you can see in this video, the bed springs in their honeymoon suite will get little to no action following the wedding. Oh, and if you are wondering why we have heard NOTHING from Alex Soros since January 2024 it is because a couple of DUmmie FUnnies videos of...

Who would have thought a corrupt and racist New York Attorney General would have been the agent used by divine providence to effect the reform of the National Rifle Association? Neal Knox and his reformers nearly succeeded in taking over the NRA in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. Neal Knox – The Gun Rights War is a collection of writings by Neal, edited by his son Chris. The goal of Neal Knox and his organization was to make the NRA management and finances more transparent and to focus the NRA on being more effective politically. Those efforts were stymied by...

Ali Khameni is gone to Russia, other major players are dead. Mahyar lists the known. Those living are likely getting their emergency cash satchel and heading for the door. What's left of Hizbollah has refused to join the fight, has surrendered.

Should Israel decapitate the Iranian leadership and should the regime fall, the Trump administration must send in investigator to track down, detain, and interrogate those responsible for killing Americans and funding the insurgency. Some should be extradited to the United States to serve the rest of their lives in prison; others can be offered the opportunity to turn state’s evidence.

On the way to its initial Arctic deployment U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker Storis (WAGB 21) has transited through the Panama Canal. The polar class 3-equivalent vessel departed from the Bollinger Shipyards in Pascagoula, Mississippi on June 3, 2025. The vessel arrived near the canal’s northern entrance on June 11. After an 18-hour hold outside Limon Bay near the Gatun locks, Storis proceeded through the first set of Panama Canal locks on its route to the Pacific. The transit took around 8 hours and the vessel exited the canal through the Miraflores locks late on June 12. U.S. military ships have...

Israel’s precision strikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure on June 12th were a necessary and proportionate act of preemptive self-defense, not a reckless escalation. The action came after the IAEA reported Iran had amassed enough near-weapons-grade uranium for at least three nuclear bombs, crossing a long-established red line.

NBC’s Seth Meyers continued his lamentations on President Trump’s response to the Los Angeles riots on Wednesday’s edition of Late Night. As Meyers tells it, Congressional Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are “collaborating” with Trump to “turn America into a military-style autocracy” and would’ve ratted out the original Tea Party to the British in 1773. Meyers was agreeing with California Gov. Gavin Newsom that the Founders would be ashamed of Trump’s actions when he went on one of his Meyers-esque digressions about what the proper term for “pants” was in the 18th century and then declared, “Now, if you’re...
