JD Vance @JDVance Look, I'm seeing this from the inside, and am admittedly biased towards our president (and my friend), but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly on the Iran issue: First, POTUS has been amazingly consistent, over 10 years, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians to accomplish this goal. The president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment. And he said repeatedly that this would happen one...

The New York Times is still force-feeding its readers agitprop that the long-awaited inflation Armageddon it's been hawking for months is still nigh. That’s despite a bevy of welcome economic news in recent weeks that has defied the retrospectively stupid predictions of President Donald Trump’s most pompous critics still high on their bloated egos. “Where’s the Inflation From Tariffs? Just Wait, Economists Say,” doom-mongered Times reporter Colby Smith in a June 13 crystal ball item passed off as news. They always locate "Economists" to say what they want to impose as conventional "wisdom." “Tariffs raise consumer prices. It’s a view...

President Donald Trump appeared to confirm that the United States is now a part of Israel’s attack on Iran during a Tuesday morning social media post. Amid growing tensions of an escalating conflict following last week’s attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, questions have arisen over the United States’ involvement. Using the word “We,” Trump wrote Tuesday morning, “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.” While a bitter debate within MAGA rages between a pro-Israel interventionist sect and an isolationist “America First” portion, experts are wondering about the geopolitical instability that has been caused by Israel’s...

The Corvette ZR1X’s top speed is 233 mph, with a 0-60 mph time of under two seconds, according to GM. The vehicle’s LT7 twin-turbo V-8 engine that’s shared with both ZR1 models is rated at 1,064 horsepower and 828 foot-pounds of torque, the company said. Adding to the performance of the ZR1X is an electric axle that makes the vehicle all-wheel drive and gives it an additional 186 horsepower and 145 foot-pounds of torque, GM said.

If you live in one of these states, it might be time to put down your coffee mug (at least for now). With a record-breaking heatwave sweeping across the Southwest, experts are warning that your daily cup of joe could do more harm than good. As temperatures soar well into the triple digits, staying hydrated is absolutely essential. Experts are calling out specific areas of the U.S. and urging people there to avoid coffee. The warning covers parts of California, Arizona and Nevada.The problem is caffeine, which is the key ingredient in coffee. Caffeine acts as a diuretic, meaning it...

Over the past several days, all eyes have been on the Middle East. Last week, Israel initiated “Operation Rising Lion,” its unilateral military campaign to roll back Iran’s nuclear program. The effort marks the end of a quarter-century during which Israeli policymakers desperately urged Western governments to take the threat of the Iranian atomic effort more seriously – and to take concrete steps to mitigate it.

When you let law enforcement catch criminals, you will get less crime. Murder rates are plummeting. While we still have more than half a year to go, Kash Patel, the FBI’s director, says that the U.S. is on track to have the lowest murder rate ever. The current record low occurred in 2014 when the FBI reported a murder rate of 4.45 per 100,000. The question is: why? Law enforcement matters, but it is probably also that Trump is deporting criminal illegal aliens. According to Patel, “Let good cops be cops,” is the answer. “I’m gonna let you, the agents,...

VIDEOIf you get your information only from the mainstream media then you think the case of the Minnesota shooter is already solved. Namely you believe the official line repeatedly parroted by the media that Vance Luther Boelter was a MAGA registered Republican who was so filled with rage against Democrats that he went out and shot Democrat Minnesota state officials. End of story. You can STOP thinking now. HOWEVER, independent journalists who don't blindly follow the official line are finding lots of yuuuge holes in this story and are reporting that the facts just do NOT add up.

Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes 🚨 Property liens to be placed on Los Angeles Pacific Palisades fire victims hones The city has come out and placed these notices on LA fire victims homes (shown in video) “We have a deadline of June 1 to pull permits and June 30 to complete the work or else the county will start putting liens on these properties essentially. So again government doing everything they can to consolidate all of this work for themselves and keep the private sector out.” “This gives the homeowner 7 days with a deadline ending on June 1 to pull...

The endgame of the current Israel-Iran conflict presents two distinct goals: preventing a nuclear Iran and achieving regime change in Tehran. While regime change is a hope for many, the primary and more achievable objective for Israel and the US should be the complete and verifiable dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program.

The anti-Israel, pro-Iran faction on the right lost Trump. Whether or not America takes part in the fighting, the administration is complicit in the battle against a rogue, terrorist state. And the isolationist “woke right” is furious about that. Jonathan S. Tobin. (June 16, 2025 / JNS). Who is losing the most in the successful strikes on Iran by the Israeli Defense Forces? At the top of the list is, obviously, the Islamist regime itself. It has had its terrorist infrastructure in the form of the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as what is left of...

Historically, America has had several successful interventionist wars and several failed ones. If we go back in time, we see that the Spanish-American War was successful and historic, unquestionably establishing American hegemony over the entire continent. The same goes for World War I and World War II, which, despite their heavy toll, were essential in transforming America into a superpower with unprecedented strength in human history. __ (Tucker Carlson types)

Activists taking part in the Global March to Gaza have been violently blocked by Egyptian authorities as they’ve attempted to make their way to the Rafah border crossing with Gaza.

President Trump ordered ICE to focus on Democrat strongholds for mass deportation. Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials should “do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.” It looks like he’s going after sanctuary cities. He’s shifting from farms and hotels to Democrat cities. Newsweek wrote, “But despite the unrest, data suggests that Trump’s messaging on border enforcement and immigration control may be resonating even within the immigrant community.” The Mass Deportation Effort Is On Trump wrote on...

President Trump began the Group of Seven (G7) summit Monday in Canada by arguing it was a mistake to kick Russia out of the organization more a decade ago. “The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named [former Canadian Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau didn’t want to have Russia in, and I would say that was a mistake, because I think you wouldn’t have a war right now if you had Russia in,” Trump said during his first meeting of the summit with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Trump has made similar comments in the past....

For the third month in a row, the economy added more jobs than experts predicted. In contrast to the jobs touted by Democrats during the Biden years, 99.8% of the new jobs were in the private sector. Native-born Americans have gotten all the net new jobs since January. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said "President Trump's America First Economic Agenda has created a BOOMING economy — jobs are up, unemployment is down, wages are increasing, and inflation is dead. Americans should continue to trust in President Trump, who continues to beat expectations." The added jobs have been accompanied by...

Remember this story out of Omaha where the feds used E-verify to track down more than 100 illegal aliens using fake IDs? And that those illegals allegedly pulled box cutters on ICE agents? =============================================================== ICE uses E-Verify system to nab over 100 illegal aliens at Omaha meat packer 🤔 E-Verify was meant to screen out illegals from taking American jobs, but ICE's recent raid on Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha, Nebraska, shows it doesn't really work.

The alleged hit list from the individual who assassinated a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband was released early this morning, and it’s raising some serious questions. -snip- The story now gets weird. Liz Collin of Alpha News announced that she had acquired Vance Boelter’s “hit list.” As she notes, more than 60 Democrat leaders appear on it, along with some abortion clinics. She noted the original copy was distributed to law enforcement. -snip- X users quickly noted a few glaring details upon perusing the list. First, Senator John Hoffman’s name is nowhere to be found on the “hit list.” -snip-...

The Benefits and Risks for China Regarding the Israel-Iran Conflict Given the Irael-Iran conflict, I created SITREPs for those wishing to follow my thought process. I’ll adjust and I won’t always get it right. It is my thinking, nonetheless. Today’s focus: China’s benefits and risks. Because of this conflict, China’s benefits, are primarily strategic and indirect, rooted in its broader geopolitical and economic interests. Below are the specific ways China gains: 1. The conflict weakens U.S. Influence in the Middle East. It diverts U.S. attention and resources from Asia, where China faces pressure over Taiwan and the South China Sea....
