U.S.Department of Agriculture(USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins revealed the shocking number of fraud cases uncovered and stamped out by her agency in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News. During a sit-down chat Friday at her department’s headquarters, Rollins shared how the Department of Government Efficiency(DOGE) helped her tackle the massive black hole of unnecessary Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program(SNAP) and unrelated grant spending left over from the Biden administration. “I can’t give enough credit to Elon Musk, who I still am in contact with today, and to the DOGE team that came in,” the secretary said. “I know some of the other...

When a politician in the West says something critical about Islam, he gets a week’s worth of attention, at best, too often quite hostile attention, and then the brief contretemps between supporters of the message and defenders of the faith (the faith being Islam) is soon forgotten. But this time, the broadside against Islam was delivered by John Cleese, he of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers fame. The background to Cleese’s remark is this: during Ramadan, 3,000 Muslims swarmed into Trafalgar Square to say their prayers, bums in the air, heads bumping on the pavement so as to raise even...

PALM SUNDAY Matthew 21.1 - 11 1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the...

A man was killed and several others were wounded by an Iranian ballistic missile fired at central Israel late Friday, the sixth attack that Iran launched on the country throughout the day. The missile carried a cluster bomb warhead, spreading bomblets over a wide area. A bomblet impact in Tel Aviv killed a 52-year-old security guard who was not in a bomb shelter at the time. The victim was named as Vyacheslav Vidmant. Vidmant was employed by the Tel Aviv municipality to secure residential buildings that had been evacuated in the same location after a deadly Iranian attack on the...

An Israeli Air Force reservist is suspected of having used classified information to place bets on the Polymarket prediction site relating to Israel’s war with Iran last year, a Tel Aviv court revealed on Thursday. The defendant, who served as a major in the Air Force, was indicted alongside his alleged accomplice last month on severe security offenses, as well as bribery and obstruction of justice, on suspicion of having bet on the timing of Israel’s opening strikes that kicked off the 12-day war in June 2025. Authorities have not provided further information on the suspects’ identities or the nature...

On July 27, 2022, a video was posted to the IslamicTV YouTube channel of Shiite children in Houston, TX performing a song titled “Salute, Commander”, which is an Iranian children’s anthem pledging allegiance to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The video had been first posted by the Islamic Education Center of Houston, TX, on its Facebook and YouTube accounts, but these posts were later removed. The children performed the song in English and Farsi. The song’s lyrics say: “[Khamenei] is calling on his children, his soldiers… In spite of my age, I will be your army’s commander… May my father...

United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US could achieve its objectives in Iran without the use of any ground troops and expected its operation to conclude in a matter of weeks on Friday, despite recent deployments of additional forces to the region. Rubio spoke to reporters before returning to the US after he discussed with G7 foreign ministers in France the conflict launched by the US and Israel late last month. Rubio said the US was achieving its objectives in the war, which he said were destroying Iran's missile and drone capabilities and factories to produce those...

Israel attacked Iran’s Khandab heavy water reactor in Arak, as well as the uranium enrichment facility at Ardakan, on Friday, the IDF confirmed.

A government official told the Islamic Republic’s semi-official Fars News Agency, which is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), that no casualties occured in the reported attack on the heavy water reactor, and that there is no danger to the local population. Fars reported that the facility was struck twice....

Nick Baumel's cheap shot at female patients harms trust in doctors by "You're the kinda girl they write books about..." and that book is the DSM-5. "Daaaamn girl, how many [genitalia] you got?!" Shockingly, this content didn't come from a random podcaster in the manosphere. These were videos created by Nick Baumel, a medical student at one of the country's top medical schools, whose immaturity and misogyny may have earned him 2.8 million likes and labeled him with a big red flag for women nationwide. Firstly, using sexist tropes as a punchline shows me he's an untalented comedian. Secondly, what...

Hizbullah's act of retribution for the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has ignited a fierce, growing wave of opposition within the Shia community. Following Hizbullah's March 1st missile launch at Israel in vengeance for Khamenei's death, the collective voice of Shia activists and citizens erupted against its actions. The objectors condemned Hizbullah for plunging Lebanon into a war that exclusively served the Iranian regime's interests. This conflict has displaced thousands of civilians, devastating their property and the Lebanese economy with its heavy, unbearable cost. Shia citizens are now openly confronting Hizbullah, channeling their fury through defiant video clips....

For decades, the Iranian regime has forged a powerful network of regional allies, known as the "Axis of Resistance" or "Axis of Steadfastness." The regime began building alliances and entities supporting its ideology immediately upon assuming power in 1979. The axis evolved into a diverse coalition of groups and armed forces, centrally featuring Hizbullah, Hamas, the Houthis, Iraqi militias and the former Syrian regime. However, the axis has suffered severe blows and largely disintegrated over the last two years. Operation Epic Fury, a major US-Israel offensive against Iranian regime targets on February 28, resulted in the death of Supreme Leader...

Iran International news site revealed last week that Nabih Berri, Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, gets over $500,000 monthly from the Iranian regime to back its interests. Berri, 88, has been the continuous presiding Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament since 1992, and leading the Amal Movement, since its formation in the 1970s. He is a dominant Lebanese political figure, closely allied with Hizbullah, wielding significant influence over the nation's domestic and foreign policies. The Iranian regime's financial support is a calculated, long-term strategy to guarantee Berri steers Lebanon's domestic and foreign policies to serve the regime and Hizbullah. Political cover...

Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney sparked outrage on social media after posting an Instagram story overnight (Thursday) showing a video call with her younger brother, Trent. Trent, who serves in the United States Air Force, was recently deployed overseas amid the war involving Iran. The 28-year-old actress intended to express patriotism, writing alongside the image: “Receiving calls from my bro always make me happy when he’s deployed. Thinking of all our boys and girls overseas and sending my love! Thank you for your service :)." However, the personal gesture was met with a wave of disturbing hate, apparently linked to her...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel are equipped to assist airport screeners after receiving two days of training, the head of the Transportation Security Administration told lawmakers on Wednesday, who said the agents and officers are checking travelers’ identification and managing crowd control. Ha Nguyen McNeill, the current TSA chief, repeatedly expressed her gratitude to ICE for easing the burden on her workforce during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing. The agency is facing severe shortages as employees increasingly call out due to the ongoing Homeland Security Department shutdown, which has forced staff to work without immediate pay. ICE began deploying...

Iran has been laying traps and moving additional military personnel and air defenses to Kharg Island in recent weeks in preparation for a possible US operation to take control of the island, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue. The Trump administration has been weighing using US troops to seize the tiny island in the northeastern Persian Gulf as leverage over the Iranians to coerce them to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, CNN has reported. But US officials and military experts say there would be significant risks involved in such a ground operation, including a...
