(Click HERE) World & Nation Iran Insists on Control of Hormuz After Swiss Talks Tehran voiced Tuesday its intent to maintain control over the vital Strait of Hormuz, a crucial question in the Middle East war talks with Washington that just wrapped up in Switzerland. Vice President JD Vance called the negotiations a "very good foundation" for a final deal to end the conflict, noting on Monday that Washington suspended sanctions on Iranian oil. But critical questions like Iran's nuclear programme and Hormuz, a major conduit for the world's oil supply, have not been resolved despite an initial deal between Washington and Tehran.
US, Intel Agencies Issue Major AI Threat 'Within Months' The Five Eyes intelligence alliance is warning that artificial intelligence-powered cyberattacks from hostile foreign adversaries could overwhelm Western governments and businesses within months unless defensive measures are rapidly strengthened. According to a joint warning reported by the Financial Times, cyber chiefs from the Five Eyes partnership said the timeline for potentially disruptive AI-driven attacks is not measured in years, but in months. "The timeline is not years, it is months," the officials said in a rare joint communiqué. Trump Is the Frontman for His Own Party as Rival Groups Vie to Shape America's 250th Anniversary The complexities of the American story aren't hard to miss. Just steps into the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, the gavel used by Nancy Pelosi when she became the first female speaker of the U.S. House sits next to a red "Make America Great Again" cap. A shirt emblazoned with a pink triangle and "Silence = Death" protesting the government's inaction during the AIDS crisis hangs alongside a campaign shirt for President Ronald Reagan, whose administration was blamed for ignoring the epidemic. The display is part of a broader exhibit flowing throughout the museum dubbed "In Pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness," commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence. With artifacts ranging from a Revolutionary War-era gunboat to a 1970 Earth Day flag, it's a reminder that the challenges and divides gripping the U.S. in the age of President Donald Trump, while stark, are not new.
US official disputes Iran’s claims, says regime has agreed to 'robust' inspections of nuclear sites A U.S. official told Fox News on Tuesday that Iran has agreed to “robust” inspections of their nuclear sites, disputing claims from Iran’s foreign ministry that no visits are scheduled yet for a United Nations watchdog agency. “As President Trump and Vice President Vance have made clear, the Iranians have agreed to robust IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) inspections of the remains of their nuclear weapons program, which was totally obliterated by Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury,” the official told Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst. “The Iranian regime will say what they have to say for their domestic audience, but the fact remains that we’ve reached a major milestone toward permanently ending Iran’s nuclear program,” the official added. Swalwell pal accused of using campaign cash to bankroll ‘luxury lifestyle’ — including Super Bowl tickets A source told Politico the Arizona Democrat 'spends his campaign account like it's his personal slush fund' Sen. Ruben Gallego, a Democrat from Arizona who was a key ally of disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell, used campaign cash to fund luxury trips with his family and to cover his childcare expenses, according to campaign finance filings and a source familiar with his finances. Gallego, through his leadership PAC, has paid for trips to the Caribbean island getaway of Saint Barthélemy, Disneyland, Disney World, Miami and Chicago, finance filings show. A source familiar with Gallego’s spending told Politico that the lawmaker would often bring his family along for the luxury jaunts, and use donor cash to pay for babysitting services. "He just spends his campaign account like it’s his personal slush fund," the source said. "He’s using campaign cash to live a luxury lifestyle." Campaign finance records show that Gallego’s leadership PAC and his campaign have collectively paid over $18,000 to cover childcare costs, including a $400 payment to his wife’s mother. Trump endorses John James in Michigan governor race as GOP rival exits primary State Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt dropped his gubernatorial bid and backed James after Trump's endorsement Rep. John James, R-Mich., discusses President Donald Trump’s potential deal with Iran and warns against trusting the regime on ‘Fox Report.’ President Donald Trump on Monday endorsed U.S. Rep. John James, who is running for governor in Michigan. "It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Congressman, John James, who is running to become the next Governor of the Beautiful State of Michigan!" the president declared in part of a Truth Social post. "John James has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Governor of Michigan — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!" James thanked Trump, calling him "The greatest President of my lifetime" in social media posts. Conservative watchdog tells FCC that 'The View' is a Democratic Party operation, not a news program ‘Evidence shows that it has for years operated for political purposes,’ MRC President David Bozell says Vice President JD Vance sparred with the co-hosts of "The View" over immigration policy on Tuesday, as Ana Navarro conceded that the administration did a "good job" closing the border. The Media Research Center (MRC) is out to prove ABC’s "The View" is a "political operation, not a bona fide news interview program" as the network battles the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over equal time for political candidates. Earlier this year, the FCC launched an investigation into ABC's "The View" amid the agency's crackdown on equal time for political candidates after Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico appeared on the show. Disney on Monday launched an on-air campaign urging viewers to support "The View," but the conservative MRC feels the show fails to meet the "bona fide news" standards that would make it exempt from the equal time rule. "For nearly four decades, the Media Research Center (MRC) has been an unrelenting media watchdog and a counterforce to activism in America’s newsrooms, broadcast networks, and Big Tech platforms. As such, the MRC is uniquely qualified to respond to the Commission’s request for comment on Disney/ABC’s petition to declare that the daytime television program The View qualifies as a bona fide news interview program," MRC President David Bozell wrote to FCC division chief Maria Mullarkey. US fighter pilot shot down by Iran describes alarming ‘jellyfish’ drones before crash: ‘Real alien s–t’ A US pilot who was rescued after his plane was shot down in Iran chillingly recalled being swarmed by Iranian drones that moved together in unison in a jellyfish-like formation. “Multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs,” one of the sources familiar with the pilot’s witness account told CNN. “Real alien s–t,” the source added. Wreckage is seen from what Iranian authorities say is a U.S. military helicopter that crashed during a mission to rescue the missing American pilot of an F-15E that was downed earlier this week, in a handout image provided on April 5, 2026 in an unspecified location in Iran. Meet the billionaire power couple advocating ‘communism for landlords’ and a global welfare state — from their $30M Hamptons McMansion Nothing says “Eat the rich” like paying for the knives and forks. A hedge fund billionaire and his art groupie wife are pumping millions into socialist think tanks positioned to help New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani achieve his Democratic Socialists of America-backed “worker’s paradise.” The pair are on a mission to punish landlords and railroad more New Yorkers into government housing, The Post has learned. From their $20 million Upper East Side townhouse — and their 10-bedroom, nine-bathroom, 10,000-square-foot Hamptons McMansion — Bobby and Carola Jain write checks funding Mamdani-linked intelligentsia paid to create models of how far-left concepts like universal basic income (UBI) and a decommodification of the housing market would work. Trump: ABC Faces Lawsuit Over Reflecting Pool Report President Donald Trump threatened new legal action against ABC News, accusing the network of misleading reporting about the cost of repairs to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool while ignoring what he says were far costlier failures under former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. In a Truth Social post on Monday night, Trump blasted ABC as "one of the worst in the business" and said the network omitted key context when reporting on the rising cost of a project to repair damage at the iconic Washington, D.C., landmark. "ABC FAKE NEWS, one of the worst in the business, even paying me $16,000,000 for past bad and inaccurate reporting, failed to report that their close 'friends,' Dumocrats Obama and Biden, spent over 100 Million Dollars on the Reflecting Pool, and it never worked," Trump wrote. "We are preparing lawsuits against ABC for false reporting." The Founding Fathers would sound the alarm on AOC, Mamdani and our slide into socialism On this, the 250th anniversary of the greatest nation ever created, which road will we choose to walk? By Douglas MacKinnon
As a dramatically and shockingly decreased number of our fellow Americans prepare to celebrate the 4th of July and the 250th anniversary of the Republic created via the genius, courage and tremendous sacrifice of the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, I believe there is no mystery as to what those Founding Fathers would say to the citizens of "The United States of America" of 2026. I truly believe they would scream out in unison: "You have all but lost the country we shed our blood, sweat and tears to create. This is your last chance to save it." The reason as to why I believe they would scream out that warning is this: Five years ago, I began spending about one year of my life "living" in 1776. Literally, on the 4th of July 2021, I watched and heard multiple voices on the left speak about eliminating the 4th of July celebration; tearing down statues of our Founding Fathers; sandblasting their names off schools and buildings; and "canceling" their very existence. From that fear and that year of my life came the book: "The 56: Liberty Lessons From Those Who Risked All to sign The Declaration of Independence." A book which not only seeks to protect our Founding Fathers from cancellation, but which outlines how they would fight – and defeat – the left’s tyranny of today. Mr. Sensible Keir Starmer bowed to the left and made the UK an unholy mess — a stern warning to Democrats By Brendan O'Neill
It’s amazing to think Keir Starmer was sold to us Brits as Mr. Sensible. He’ll be gloriously boring and that’s just what we need, said his media cheerleaders when he was elected prime minister in July 2024. After the tumult of Brexit, the wacky Boris Johnson years and all that lockdown lunacy, we need a little calm, they said. Enter Sir Keir. Fast-forward 23 months and Starmer has thrown in the towel. Far from steadying the good ship Britain, he’s left it in an unholy mess. |
