President Trump on Saturday said Iran is begging for an end to the war, but he’s not ready to strike a deal with Tehran until they get serious about the proposed terms. “Iran wants to make a deal, and I don’t want to make it because the terms aren’t good enough yet,” Trump told NBC News, adding that any agreement would require Iran to completely abandon any nuclear ambitions. The president said the conditions of an agreement with Iran have to be “very solid” before he’ll agree to halt the US-Israel military campaign — and even questioned whether their new...

Thanks to the U.S. president’s keen political acumen, the Islamic Republic has lost a key point of leverage. What makes this attack so shocking is not just the target; it is who got targeted. Oman is the Gulf state closest to Iran politically, and it has long served as the main mediator between Iran and the West. Yet Tehran still went after its oil infrastructure... ...Iran’s message is clear: No oil infrastructure in the Gulf is off limits. And this is not new behavior. Iran has previously targeted oil production even in countries that are not openly hostile. Saudi Arabia,...

President Donald Trump reportedly told Group of Seven leaders this week that Iran is "about to surrender," as the U.S. and Israel continue a sweeping military campaign against the regime's military infrastructure.According to Axios, Trump made the remark during a virtual call Wednesday, boasting about the results of the ongoing U.S.-led military operation targeting Iran’s missile forces, navy, and defense industry."I got rid of a cancer that was threatening us all," Trump reportedly told the leaders, referring to "Operation Epic Fury" and the strikes that have hammered Iranian military targets over the past two weeks.

The Pentagon and National Security Council significantly underestimated Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to US military strikes while planning the ongoing operation, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. President Donald Trump’s national security team failed to fully account for the potential consequences of what some officials have described as a worst-case scenario now facing the administration, the sources said. And now it may be weeks before the administration’s efforts to alleviate the intensifying economic fallout take hold, officials said Thursday, including high-risk naval escorts of oil tankers through the strait that the Pentagon...

No images have been released of Khamenei since an Israeli strike at the start of the war that killed much...

Donald Trump’s apparent interest in regime change in Iran is a welcome development. The opening days of the US-Israeli military campaign against the ayatollahs and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (“IRGC”) have proceeded beyond expectations, although harder days undoubtedly lie ahead. The Pentagon’s planning and professionalism are on full display. By contrast, the political side of this politico-military assault on the Tehran regime is hurting.

"President Donald Trump announced on Saturday, March 7 that the United States now formally and 'legally' recognizes the current Venezuelan government with Delcy Rodríguez as the leader."

Trump border czar Tom Homan announced a significant drawdown of federal agents in Minneapolis during a Wednesday morning press conference after receiving “unprecedented cooperation” from local officials. Homan was put in charge of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were both shot and killed during altercations with ICE and Border Patrol personnel. During a press conference last week, Homan struck a more optimistic tone about collaborating with local officials like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), and acknowledged that mistakes had been made. On Wednesday, Homan announced...

He added that the ultimate goal is a "complete drawdown" of federal presence. Homan highlighted meetings he had with Minnesota Gov.

Kash Patel just gave an update on the FBI raid of the Fulton County Election Center and while he is obviously tight-lipped right now given the ongoing investigation, I picked up a couple gems in what he said. He confirmed the search warrant allowed them to pick up a ton of information. He said they are now actively processing that information. And he implied there would be much more to come. ... And now another massive update.... The Trump FBI now has the 2020 Fulton County election ballots! Also the voter list: Let's just say the Commissioner is NOT happy...

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday that “the theft and fraud in Minnesota is far greater than the $19 billion originally projected.” The post came as House Oversight Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will testify under oath March 4. The testimony will be part of a congressional investigation into alleged fraud in state-run social services programs. In the post, Trump also attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Walz, and Minnesota officials, writing: "The Biden Administration knew this FRAUD was happening, and did absolutely nothing about it. "Scammer" Illhan...

Governor Newscum May Be Involved in Dirty Money Laundering Scheme From Mexican Cartels

A collection of far-left groups — led by a Communist activist network tied to CCP-linked millionaire Marxist Neville Roy Singham — is attempting to organize a nationwide anti-ICE school and business shutdown, with anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour declaring that “we will bring this country to a halt.” The general strike effort, scheduled for this Friday, is an attempt to replicate a Minnesota-wide anti-ICE shutdown which occurred last Friday and which was organized by many of the same far-left groups — but now with designs to do so on a national scale. The planned “National Shutdown” announced early this week includes...

When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found. At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters...
