During a morning show interview, the vice president claimed that there are simply “some diplomatic protocols” that he can’t fully comprehend

It's entirely possible that Trump, the "Art of the Deal" master, never saw the details of the MoU --brokered by fake "friends" Qatar/Pakistan-- before blindly placing his confidence in JD Vance. Yet virtually no one argues that this deal is good for America. There is broad consensus across Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, and many others that the sole beneficiary would be Iran's oppressive regime and its jihadist proxies. No one believes that the $300 billion would simply be spent on "reconstruction." Just like the regime has been doing with Obama's cash release for its annihilation nuclear program, ballistic missiles, shahed drones...

A federal judge ruled on Tuesday to temporarily halt an Idaho law that would restrict bathroom access for transgender people, ruling that major parts of the law are likely unconstitutional. In a 30-page decision, Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Amanda K. Brailsford issued a preliminary injunction preventing House Bill 752 from taking effect while legal challenges proceed. The ruling also granted provisional class-action status to transgender residents across the state, extending the court’s protections beyond the original plaintiffs. “Another issue of enforceability is a law enforcement officer’s ability to determine an individual’s ‘biological sex,'” Judge Brailsford wrote. This ruling is a...

Karoline :(05:03)On another matter, over the past few days, Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has unveiled shocking new evidence that former President Barack Obama and top aides in the Obama administration conspired to subvert President Trump's 2016 election victory and undermine the democratic will of the American people. While publicly pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power, in private, former President Obama went to great and nefarious lengths to try to sow discord among the public and sabotage his successor, President Trump.(05:39)The new evidence released by the Director of National Intelligence, who is here with me today,...

George Santayana famously said that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. The same is true for judicial overreach. Those judges who yield to the temptation to counter policies that are not to their liking are likely to repeat such excesses of power. That is why the recent decision of U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Boston is so concerning. While there are good-faith reasons why some have objected to the removal of slavery and climate change exhibits from national parks and monuments, this is not about the merits but the authority to make such changes. Kelley’s recent...

Libtards were so desperate to stop President Trump from hosting UFC America 250, they tried to MANIPULATE the weather forecast. The leftist anti-Trump Weather Channel reported: - 30mph winds - Torrential rain - Lightning storms - Swarms of mosquitos I was actually at the White House. I can promise you none of that happened. Now they just look like idiots. Better luck next time, libs.

A federal judge in Massachusetts has ordered the Trump administration to restore all signs that were changed or removed at national parks across the country as part of President Donald Trump’s controversial directive last year. In a scathing 63-page ruling on Friday, Judge Angel Kelley wrote, “Under the guise of promoting American dignity, this Administration seeks to share a limited history by ordering the removal of all signs, displays, and interpretive exhibits at National Parks that do not align with its preferred narrative, thereby telling half-truths.” Kelley, an appointee of President Joe Biden, ordered that the restoration be complete by...

A federal judge sided with Maryland and a coalition of Democratic-led states on Friday, halting the enforcement of new conditions on billions of dollars of federal food assistance under the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

A federal judge on Monday vacated President Donald Trump’s policy imposing a $100,000 fee for employers’ H-1B visa applications. The visa payment policy violated the federal Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution, Judge Leo Sorokin declared in the ruling in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts. The H-1B policy was created in 1990 and is heavily used by U.S. tech giants to bring in high-skilled workers from overseas. The program allows U.S. employers to seek government permission to hire a nonimmigrant workers in specialty occupations for up to six years. Trump implemented the $100,000 fee in a presidential proclamation last September...

Judges turned their backs on the law to let illegals pour into the country. They use the law to keep them here. You have to credit the White House for telling it like it is. On their new webpage concerning the threat posed by mass illegal immigration, it states that illegals are aliens among us. Not surprisingly, this is viewed by the Democrats and liberal media as a “grotesque violation” against human rights, and an expression of “white supremacy.” The president is accused of anti-immigrant bias. Apparently, enforcing constitutional law regarding borders, immigration, and security is a form of discrimination....

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has terminated several analysts responsible for drafting a notorious 2023 memo that smeared traditional Catholics as potential domestic extremists. Under Director Kash Patel, the agency took decisive action Friday, firing four intelligence analysts and one supervisory analyst tied to the document originating from the Richmond field office. This move marks a significant shift from the Biden-era FBI’s pattern of viewing faithful Christians with suspicion while downplaying real threats elsewhere. The memo, which relied on Southern Poverty Law Center data and other questionable sources, wrongly conflated devout Catholics adhering to historic Church teachings with violent radicals....

Thomas Massie isn’t acting like a defeated man. After losing the most expensive primary race in American history last month, largely thanks to pro-Israel figures and groups spending millions to defeat him (according to the Federal Election Commission, Massie received donations from 1,119 individuals actually living in Kentucky, compared to only 98 for his opponent Ed Gallrein), Massie announced just days later, “I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race.” He explained, “This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office.”...

In a new ruling released on Friday, a federal judge held that the Trump administration agency that oversees lawful U.S. immigration must stop enforcing several policies that paused adjudication of certain immigration-benefit applications. 1*On June 5, 2026, a federal judge in Rhode Island struck down four USCIS policies that paused or delayed certain immigration benefit decisions for applicants from 39 travel ban countries.✅ The court declared four USCIS policies unlawful and vacated them: pic.twitter.com/KrUIxLYRVn— AK Poku Law, PLLC (@greencard1awyer) June 5, 2026The decision came Friday morning in a voluminous order written by Rhode Island's U.S. District Court Chief Judge, John...

A federal judge in Rhode Island has struck down a Trump administration executive order that suspended all asylum decisions and stopped visa issuance to people from Afghanistan, alongside an additional 38 other countries. The order came shortly after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members just blocks from the White House, killing one.

THE Q STORM@e3z9b_qI1ytkwI used to believe that Donald Trump was simply an exceptional president.But then, I watched in real time as the Mainstream Media (mainstream media), the FBI, intelligence agencies, the CIA, Big Tech, and the entire Washington establishment joined forces in an unprecedented campaign to destroy a single man.The numerous lawsuits, the two impeachments, the endless hoaxes including the Russia one, the Mar-a-Lago raid, the gag orders, the efforts to remove him from the ballot, the attempts to bankrupt him and throw him in prison... all of that was aimed at preventing him from returning to power. Two attempts...

Four Senate Republicans broke ranks to kill another effort to pass President Donald Trump's marquee voter ID and election integrity legislation as the GOP marches to fund immigration enforcement. Just like last time, Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Thom Tills, R-N.C., joined all Democrats to thwart the move. It’s the second attempt by Republicans to attach the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act to their budget reconciliation package, and the second time that they’ve failed to get the legislation across the line months after launching a quasi-floor takeover to debate the bill....

It seems like, without fail, the activist Left seeks out ways of using the legal system to get whatever radical policy they want retained via a judge's ruling, or stop some Conservative policy that half of the American people overwhelmingly voted for during a recent presidential election. Such might be tha case in this new story, where an environmental group has filed suit in my state of Arizona against the Trump administration ... over the habitat of a rare species of desert spring snail. But the fact that this snail can only live where President Trump is planning on building...

Thomas Massie may be leaving Congress, but don't expect him to disappear from Republican politics anytime soon ... because he and Marjorie Taylor Greene have been cooking up plans behind the scenes to retake the GOP. Charlie caught up with the outgoing Kentucky Congressman Wednesday on Capitol Hill and asked about his recent Costa Rica vacay with Greene and her fiancé, Brian Glenn -- a trip TMZ first revealed after the group was spotted dining together. According to Massie, the getaway involved more than fishing and margaritas. "I got to talk to Marjorie about what life is like on the...

US President Trump accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being the reason for global hatred of Israel in an angry call on Monday, Axios reported. Earlier on Monday, Iran had threatened to stop negotiating with the US due to Israel’s action in Lebanon, prompting the call in which Trump at one point yelled at Netanyahu, “What the f*** are you doing?” According to one US official, Trump felt that Netanyahu was reacting disproportionally to Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel. He objected to Israel destroying buildings to take out a single Hezbollah commander, and Israel’s threats against Beirut, Axios wrote. Another source...

TRANSCRIPT below the postEric Daugherty@EricLDaugh🚨 JUST IN: President Trump SHOOTS DOWN a fake CNN report that his Iran deal doesn't address their nuclear program"When actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon!""It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that’s what most of the agreement is about. CNN, and so many others in the Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster. Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to ever get better!!!" 🔥They keep betraying America with the LIES.May 31, 2026TRANSCRIPT BEGINS~~~President Trump:...
