WASHINGTON — President Trump ended two days of guessing Thursday by saying that Iran had gifted him 10 “big boats” of oil in a show of goodwill. “They said, ‘To show you the fact that we’re real and solid and we’re there, we’re going to let you have eight boats of oil — eight boats, eight big boats of oil.’ … and I didn’t think much about it,” Trump said at a cabinet meeting. “And then I watched the news, and they said … ‘There are eight boats that are going right up the middle of the Hormuz Strait, eight...

As a first-time mom expecting a baby this September, my social media feed has completely changed. What used to be filled with news and politics is now full of pregnancy advice, nursery ideas, and – of course – ads for diapers. However, I didn’t expect that preparing for my baby would lead me to discover something deeply disturbing about the diaper industry. Like most parents, I assumed choosing a diaper brand would come down to comfort, quality, and price. The last thing I expected was to learn that many of the most recognizable diaper brands in America have publicly aligned...

Grief is like a fingerprint — totally unique to each of us. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve. It’s about honoring the love we have for them in a way that feels right. —David KesslerThe jackals, monsters, and vultures waited until Charlie Kirk was dead. None of them raised their daggers when her husband could still defend his wife. None of them dared challenge Charlie when he walked the earth — because they’re conmen, creeps, criminals, and cowards.But now that he’s gone, Erika Kirk’s privacy, dignity, and God-given humanity are under constant assault, and the silence of Charlie’s...

Kamala Harris is cutting California loose from her book tour, cancelling the remainder of her currently scheduled stops in the state. On Tuesday, the former presidential candidate pulled out of book tour stops for her memoir “107 Days” in Sacramento, San Diego and Anaheim. The appearances had been scheduled for next month. Ticketing company Ticketmaster refunded ticketholders and explained that the cancellations of “A Conversation with Kamala Harris” were due to a “scheduling conflict.” Harris’ last event had been in Oakland on March 3. She remains scheduled for an event in Denver, Colorado, on April 2, but her subsequent stops...

This case sits at the center of what looks like a RICO-level criminal enterprise: elements of the Deep State—FBI, DOJ, CIA, and allied networks—engaged in fraud, obstruction, election subversion, and worse. I’ve argued that point in articles from 2020 onward, all built on public records, FOIA battles, declassifications, and whistleblower leaks. Fully disclosing Rich’s seized laptops, drives, and related files could blow open the entire 2016 Russia narrative, exposing ties to Benghazi arms trafficking, Clinton Foundation pay-to-play, FISA warrant abuses, Ukraine meddling, and more. Instead, the FBI has stonewalled for years. However, the Trump DOJ and FBI may finally be...

Shapiro faces lawsuit over $830K property after allegedly using state police to bar neighbors from their own land

Is the Rapture real? There’s always debate around this topic. Let’s start with the obvious: the Rapture sounds crazy. Jesus descends from Heaven, dead people rise from their graves, and living believers are suddenly caught up into the sky—like the world’s strangest episode of “Stranger Things.” Sounds like the stuff your uncle mutters about after three cups of church coffee. Except—the Rapture is right there in Scripture. Paul says it. John says it. Jesus says it. Opposing Views Now, critics like to pounce: “But the word Rapture isn’t even in the Bible!” Neither are the words Trinity or even Bible....

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been unrelenting in poking at Donald Trump on social media, and the President returned fire on Wednesday. “Gavin Newscum’s interview weeks ago was, perhaps, the most self destructive interview I’ve ever seen,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “In one fell swoop, he took himself out of even being considered as the Presidential Nominee of the Crazy (as proven at the State of the Union Address) Democrats. He said, in a speech, he was dumb, had low Boards, can’t read, has dyslexia, and has a mental disorder — A Cognitive Mess! “On top of that, Black...

HEBRON, Ky. -- President Donald Trump on Wednesday traveled to the home district of his longtime political target, Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, where he spoke on the economy and the Iran war but also spent much of his speech attacking Massie as "disloyal" while endorsing his GOP primary opponent. "We got to get rid of this loser. This guy is bad," Trump said in Hebron, Kentucky. "He's disloyal to the Republican Party. He's disloyal to the people of Kentucky. And most importantly, he is disloyal to the United States of America." Massie was one of two House Republicans who...

U.S. first lady Melania Trump presided over a U.N. Security Council meeting on Monday focusing on children in conflict, one of her signature issues, and acknowledged she was doing so in "challenging times" as the United States has joined Israel in attacking Iran. Hanging over Monday's meeting was what Iranian state media says was an airstrike that hit a girls' school in southern Iran, killing at least 165 people and wounding dozens more. The Israeli military said it was not aware of strikes in the area. The U.S. military said it was looking into the reports. ... Shortly before Monday's...

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with novelist and cultural critic Lionel Shriver for a wide-ranging conversation on immigration, national identity, childlessness, and the psychological roots of progressive politics. We begin with the backlash to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s claim that Britain has been “colonised,” and explore why immigration has become the most morally charged issue in Western politics. Shriver argues that debates over borders, demographic change, and the so-called “great replacement” divide societies into irreconcilable camps, and that mass migration touches deep anthropological instincts that elites refuse to acknowledge. The discussion moves beyond economics into...

Trump blasts Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for heckling him during the State of the Union, calling them "mentally deranged" and demanding they be sent "back from where they came."

An alleged Minnesota churchgoer filed a lawsuit against former CNN anchor Don Lemon and protesters for “emotional distress,” TMZ reported Tuesday. Ann Doucette alleged in court documents that Lemon and protesters “unlawfully interfered” with her right to “freely exercise her religion in a private place of worship” when he stormed her church during a Jan. 18 service to protest federal immigration enforcement, according to TMZ. She claimed to suffer “severe emotional distress, fear, anxiety, and trauma” as a result of the protest, and is suing for an unspecified amount of money, according to the outlet.

President Donald Trump on Friday escalated his criticism of the U.S. Supreme Court following its decision to strike down most of his sweeping global tariffs, suggesting that “foreign interests” may have influenced the justices who ruled against him. The comments came just hours after the high court, in a 6–3 ruling, determined that Trump had exceeded his authority by imposing broad import duties under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts concluded that the statute does not grant a president the power to levy tariffs, a responsibility the Constitution assigns to Congress. During...

It's not live yet, but will be. Just an absolute evil individual. He will be the sole cause of civil war in Britain, which Brits may lose because they are unarmed while there is a good chance that Starmer will allow Muslims to be armed. Just keep tabs on this video for the details. Elections have consequences.

“We have an amazing group of people before me, very proud of you,” Trump said. “I have no higher honor in life than to be your commander in chief.”During his remarks to the troops, President Trump joked that the Abrams tank was named in honor of failed Democrat Stacey Abrams.“We’re also purchasing 30 new and modified Abrams tanks. Named in honor of Stacey Abrams!” Trump said to laughter.“Congratulations, thank you very much for a great name, Stacey,” Trump said.

WASHINGTON — President Trump announced Thursday that a massive prayer event will be held on the National Mall this coming May — declaring it is time “to rededicate America as one nation under God,” as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday this year. Trump revealed the event during remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast at the Washington Hilton, where he also doubled down on his commitment to religious liberty in the US. Trump did not specify why May 17 was selected, however, shortly before the Declaration of Independence, the colonial Congress had declared May 17, 1776, a national day of...

Transcript SummaryThe transcript is from an interview on The Rubin Report between host Dave Rubin and Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division at the DOJ.Dhillon discusses a case involving an anti-ICE protest that disrupted a service at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
