Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a fantastic job. He is running against a LUNATIC named Mark Lynch, who supports perhaps the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky. I don’t have to go into great detail, but needless to say, Mark Lynch would be a DISASTER for the Republican Party, and Lindsey Graham just, GETS THE JOB DONE. VOTE FOR LINDSEY ALL THE WAY. MAGA! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Following the US-Iran Ceasefire, Iran announced a closing of the international traffic separation scheme by mining the area and re-routing ships through a new traffic pattern within the territorial waters of Iran and under jurisdiction and control.

Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, accused the U.S. on Wednesday of violating the two-week ceasefire agreement. “The deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments — a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again,” Ghalibaf said in a statement posted on social media. Three parts of Iran’s 10-point ceasefire proposal have been violated, Ghalibaf said. The violations are Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon, the entry of a drone into Iranian airspace, and the denial of the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium, he said. “In such situation,...

President Donald Trump revealed in a Fox News interview today that the United States sent weapons to anti-regime Iranian protesters earlier this year — and that the arms were delivered through Kurdish intermediaries. Trump stated during the interview (aired within the last hour): “We sent a lot of weapons to the Iranian protesters. We transferred them to the Kurdish militias… and I think the Kurds kept them.” The comment came during the same wide-ranging Fox News appearance in which Trump issued his latest ultimatum to Tehran: “If Iran doesn’t make a deal quickly, we will bomb them and take their...

Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah) said Wednesday he will not support the U.S.-Israeli military offensive in Iran after the conflict reaches 60 days without congressional approval. Curtis wrote in the Salt Lake City-based media outlet Deseret News that the War Powers Resolution of 1973 limits the president’s period of time to respond to “emerging threats.” He called the conflict with Iran nothing new, “a long-standing, well-organized and well-funded campaign against American lives and interests.” “At the same time, here in America, constitutional limits are in place to temper the president from unilateral authority,” Curtis wrote. “I support the president’s actions taken...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faced a brutal reality check on national television after refusing to admit that weakening Iran's military is a "good thing." From his "Schomer Israel" roots to pleasing the radical left, here's why Schumer is now putting party politics over Middle East security. Schumer used to say his name is Schumer because he is "Schomer Israel" in Senate. Today he not only doesn't defend Israel, he defend those who want to destroy Israel in order to please the radicals in his party. On March 23, 2026 the Gateway Pundit reported "The radical left’s hatred for President...

The spot price for current physical cargoes of Brent crude oil soared Thursday to $141.36, the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis, according to S&P Global, which tracks the data.

Donald Trump has privately asked cabinet members in recent weeks whether he should replace his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, venting frustration that she shielded a former deputy who undercut his rationale for war with Iran, according to two people briefed on the discussions. It is not clear that Trump will actually fire Gabbard over the episode. Currently, there is no standout candidate to take the job, and advisers have cautioned that creating a high-profile vacancy before a successor is ready could cause unhelpful political distractions. But Trump’s discussions mark an ominous development for Gabbard, given the president tends...

WASHINGTON, March 30 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is interested in calling on Arab countries to pay for the cost ‌of the Iran war, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday, adding talks with Tehran to end the conflict are progressing well. Leavitt, asked at a news briefing whether Arab countries would step up to help pay for the war, said she would not get ahead ​of the Republican president but that it was an idea that Trump had. ...

“For Americans who came of age before the Iranian revolution, the defining event regarding Iran was the hostage crisis of 1979-1981, in which 52 of their countrymen were held prisoner for over a year at the captured U.S. Embassy in Tehran...” “That crisis dominated news in the United States for an extended period. It even spawned a nightly television program (which became ABC Nightline)..." American children who came of age in as late as the 1970s and early 80s will likely recall the Iran of their childhood as an infamous adversary, much in the same vein as the Soviet Union,...

President Trump Addresses Nation on War with Iran

Donald Trump plans to give a primetime address on the war in Iran on Wednesday evening, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced. “Tomorrow night at 9PM ET, President Trump will give an Address to the Nation to provide an important update on Iran,” Leavitt wrote on X. Earlier, Trump told reporters that the war could end in “two or three weeks.” “We will be leaving very soon,” Trump said. Iran has put a chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump said that “if France or some other country wants to get oil or gas, they’ll go up through the strait...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized ABC News host George Stephanopoulos for continuing to push the narrative that Operation Epic Fury lacks clear objectives, as the administration works to maintain public support for the war. As rumors of “unclear objectives” spread, concerns have grown that the conflict with Iran could mirror Iraq or Afghanistan, prolonged wars marked by years of fighting, heavy casualties, and the deployment of ground troops without a decisive endgame. "This operation, okay, and that's what this is. It's about very specific objectives. The president laid them out on the first night of the operation," Rubio said....

Updated: MARCH 29, 2026 20:59 An Iranian strike that wounded US troops at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia also damaged multiple aircraft and likely completely destroyed an E-3 Sentry aircraft. The attack some 60 miles south of the capital of Riyadh in the early hours of March 27 is said to have involved a coordinated precision barrage of at least one Iranian ballistic missile and several attack drones. According to reports, some 10 to 12 American service members were injured in the attack, with at least two in serious condition. The base, a major operating location for US...

As Trump contemplates a ground operation in Iran, he will be reckoning with the ghosts of previous western “excursions” in the region, as he recently labeled this war. History suggests three endgames for his intervention in Iran are plausible. First, a hasty deal on terms that aggrandize and empower Iran, creating an American equivalent to Britain’s Suez Crisis. Second, a protracted struggle which becomes structurally reminiscent of the Iraq War. Third, a dramatic escalation which achieves Iranian surrender quickly and cleanly. The bad news for Trump is that the outcome he seeks, number three, is the one without real precedent....

Democrats have received some unlikely good news that challenger Mary Peltola maintains a lead against incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska, a Republican, after six months of polling. The most recent data revealed by Alaska Survey Research (ASR) found that Peltola has 52.4 percent support from respondents when undecided voters are removed from the equation, maintaining her majority lead from the October and January polls; this is a nearly five-point advantage over Sullivan, who has 47.6 percent support. Why It Matters Historically, the ruling party suffer significant losses if they also control the White House during the sitting president’s first...

Roaring Lion Shows Israel’s Moral Compass in War. Gaza and Iran Alike—Israel’s War Is With Terror, Not Civilians. Israel’s Precision Strikes Prove It Never Targets Civilians. Israel’s conduct during Operation Roaring Lion underscores a consistent principle: it does not target civilians as a matter of policy. Even in Iran—where Israel has no obligation to minimize harm toward a hostile regime—civilian casualties were unintended and limited. This is significant because it demonstrates that Israel’s military doctrine prioritizes precision and restraint even when facing adversaries. If Israel were indifferent to civilian life, operations in Iran would likely look very different. Instead, the...

Donald Trump just posted evidence Democrats are stealing our elections For the 2020 Election: Pennsylvania: - 205,000 more votes than registered voters - Over 1.5 million fraudulent votes counted, and the spread is less than 82,000 votes - These fraudulent votes come from dead voters, ballots that were received before they were supposedly mailed out - Over 330,000 electronic spikes from the voting machine - 682,000 ballots that were illegally processed without any oversight whatsoever - More than 1.5 million votes in Pennsylvania is apparently what it took for Joe Biden to steal the state Georgia: - 66,248 underage voters...
