President Trump signaled on Thursday during a bill signing ceremony that the U.S. is close to a deal with Iran that would bring peace to the Middle East and eliminate its nuclear capabilities. As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump spoke to reporters Wednesday night on worsening conditions in the Middle East regarding Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. authorized evacuations of dependents and non-essential personnel at several embassies and bases in the Middle East after Iran threatened attacks over the possible breakdown of negotiations with the U.S. over its nuclear program amid warnings by both Israel and the U.S. that...

The Danish have caved and will allow US bases in their territory. When US President Donald J. Trump expressed his desire to gain control of the island of Greenland, it took most by surprise, and generated a panic in the kingdom of Denmark. While the former colony and present semi-autonomous territory has belonged to the Danish for centuries, the geopolitical situation may cause a historical shift. Greenland is located between North America and Europe, making it vital for monitoring Russian military activities, particularly ballistic missile threats and naval movements through the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom (GIUK) gap. The U.S. already operates Pituffik...

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) on Thursday got triggered when confronted by The Gateway Pundit about her comments blaming President Trump for the violent illegals and leftist insurrectionists attacking Los Angeles. As The Gateway Pundit reported, AOC accused the Trump Administration of “intentionally” inciting the chaos in LA, where leftists and illegals are lighting cars on fire across the city, attacking law enforcement, destroying police cars, hurling explosives, and looting businesses. Watch:

During a press conference with multiple SoCal officials, including Bass, Ventura City Deputy Mayor Doug Halter took to the podium and immediately accused Trump of launching a “terrorism attack” on LA while whining about the impact on the community. “This is absolutely unconscionable; (regarding) what’s going on,” Halter began. “I never thought in my life that I would be seeing this sort of disruption, this sort of terrorism attack on our citizens…” “Everything that impacts one part of our community impacts all of us,” he added. “And to see this coming from our own country…It’s just unconscionable.” Halter then issued...

Tina Louise was spotted on a different island. The Gilligan’s Island alum, 91, made a rare public appearance June 4 in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, marking her first sighting since she attended the New York Film Festival in 2022. For the outing, Louise—who portrayed the aptly named Ginger Grant on the CBS sitcom from 1964 to 1967—donned a black leather jacket and blue jeans. She complemented the look by sporting her signature red hair, black sneakers and carrying a navy blue umbrella and two black bags. Since appearing on Gilligan’s Island, Louise—who is the last living cast member, surviving fellow...

Forget the notion of “sell in May and go away.” There are a set of dynamic metrics at work within the economy framed by “Trumponomics,” which refers broadly to his administration’s approach, that includes tax cuts, deregulation, protectionism and trade policies that the stock market is embracing.Nearly halfway through 2025, the U.S. equity market has endured a 20% correction, a radical set of tariff policies employed or threatened, sweeping D.O.G.E. actions, the DeepSeek torpedo into the AI port bow, followed by a reaffirmation of the historical capex spending binge by the hyperscalers and sovereign governments (Saudi Arabia, etc.) and two...

"This Is A Slowly Unfolding Fort Sumter Moment" Counterterrorism Expert & Researcher Matt Bracken Compares & Contrasts The Inciting Battle Of The First American Civil War With The New Civil War Unfolding NOW In Los Angeles(10 minute video clip below)https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1932196869729669139 The full interview is below here.https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1932217289652474228

The American Republic was built on the rule of law, national sovereignty, and the consent of the governed. Yet today, these foundational principles are being eroded from within—not by a foreign invader, but by sanctuary cities operating in open defiance of federal immigration law. These self-declared "safe zones" for illegal aliens have become soft targets for criminal exploitation, hotbeds of cartel trafficking, and sanctuaries not for the oppressed—but for the lawless.Let’s be clear: this is not about compassion. It’s about control. Sanctuary cities represent a dangerous power grab by left-leaning municipalities that prioritize political ideology over national unity. When cities...

Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the newly anointed leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), has issued a chilling call to arms targeting the President of the United States, Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other top administration officials, including Elon Musk and Cabinet members. The Islamic terrorist, already wanted by the U.S. government with a $6 million bounty on his head, released a 34-minute video on Sunday, filled with explicit threats and calls for bloodshed inside the United States, the New York Post reported. Al-Awlaki, speaking in Arabic but quickly translated and circulated on social media, issued a...

Republican senators are considering watering down “no taxes on tips,” “no taxes on overtime” and more. Senate Finance Republicans are increasingly looking to dial back key items on President Donald Trump’s tax policy wish list. And it’s pitting them against the architect of the House-passed tax legislation, Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith — and potentially even the White House. The rub is this: The House version of the megabill would restore tax incentives for research and development, business equipment and debt interest through 2029, which Trump has indicated he supports. But Senate Republicans are dead-set on making them permanent,...

The consequences of America's failure to act on its victory in the Cold War, so carelessly thrown away by the Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations, are now playing out, first in the judiciary and now in the streets. What started as legal challenges in federal courts across the land has turned into open rebellion, to which has now been added foreign interference in America's internal affairs. It's a powderkeg, but this time the Left will either step down or be put down. While the media continues its impersonation of Baghdad Bob, and largely refuses to call the violence currently...

Just before 5 p.m. PDT Monday in downtown Los Angeles, a black pickup truck pulled up to a crowd of pro-illegal immigration protesters loaded with supplies for the evening’s riot. Video by Fox Live Now showed the open bed of the pickup was packed with boxes, chief among them UVEX Bionic Face Shields that were distributed to the protesters. The shields retail for around $60 each. Fox 11 LA reporter Elex Michaelson posted about what he witnessed, “#BREAKING We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truck loads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed. It certainly seems...

Democrats should check out what CNN's Harry Enten had to say on Monday. He had some polling numbers that show how much support there is for President Donald Trump's deportation policies. Enten explained how Trump's net approval on immigration since eight years ago has "gone up like a rocket." Why Trump's eager for an immigration fight: His net approval is positive (+1 pt) & up like a rocket vs. term 1.Specific Approval:-54% for Trump's deportation program for those here illegally-51% of ICE searchesVoters also say Dems have no clue on immigration (GOP +10). pic.twitter.com/IdHaPx8Ud4— (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) June 9, 2025He's...

One is an event, two is a coincidence—but three is a pattern. On Monday, the Department of Justice announced that a third Chinese national has been nabbed for allegedly trying to smuggle biological materials into the United States. Making things more disturbing is a fact that a Hollywood screenwriter couldn’t have come up with: the smuggler was studying in, where else, Wuhan, China. You’ve heard of Wuhan, haven’t you? The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan released a statement alleging that Chengxuan Han, “a citizen of the PRC” (People's Republic of China), sent packages containing biological material...

When ICE conducted raids Friday morning at multiple locations in downtown Los Angeles, violent protesters impeded their work at both the staging location at a Home Depot in Paramount and outside the targeted business in downtown. Things might have stayed somewhat contained but for the involvement of two powerful and high-profile leftist community "leaders." One of those people, SEIU California President David Huerta, was arrested for interfering with federal officers after he got in the way of ICE officers. After his arrest, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Rep. Gil Cisneros, and other Democrat elected officials decried...

CNN is upset that President Trump accurately labeled the LA rioters “insurrectionists.” President Trump on Monday referred to the LA rioters as “insurrectionists” and “professional agitators.” The rioters launched explosives at a federal detention facility in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend. .... Snip.... CNN’s Dana Bash was peeved that President Trump called rioters who were launching commercial grade explosives at a federal building and assaulting federal agents “insurrectionists.” CNN panelist Stephen Collinson said Trump’s language is dangerous. According to CNN, Trump calling the rioters insurrectionists is much worse than the illegal aliens assaulting law enforcement and burning cars. WATCH:

Videographer Cam Higby captured of the Los Angeles rioters attacking police horses during Sunday’s riots. The rioters fired off projectiles and fireworks at the animals on Sunday as they continued to rip apart the city over the Trump administration’s arrest of criminal illegal aliens. You can see the panicked horses jump back as the projectiles exploded at their feet. This is all thanks to Democrat leadership. They could have stopped this. They didn’t. Video via Cam HIgby.

( Video clips at link) Nothing they have done to disrupt President Trump and his MAGA agenda has worked. Even the hundred-plus judges rulings are starting to fall by the wayside. The autopen story has crept back into the news A pro-energy group is renewing its call for an investigation into over half a dozen Biden administration executive actions related to climate that it believes should be deemed null and void due to them being signed by an autopen without any public comment from former President Joe Biden confirming his knowledge of them. Power the Future, a nonprofit organization that...

Where is the National Guard? Anti-ICE rioters smashed windows of the LAPD headquarters..... .... Snip.... California Sheriff Luna said he is still going to wait before requesting help from the National Guard. Los Angeles is burning and illegals are looting businesses but they still haven’t call in reinforcements.

Why is it that the organic apple must wear a label, pay a certification fee, and carry a price premium—while the conventional apple, grown with chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides, is simply called an apple? What if we flipped that?What if the organic apple was just an apple—and the one grown with chemical inputs had to be labeled chemically grown? Why does the burden fall on the farmer doing the right thing, while the one using harmful practices skates by without warning, cost, or consequence?Why does the farmer who’s working with nature—protecting our water, preserving our soil, and nourishing our...
