Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click HERE) World & Nation Trump Cancels Talks With Iranian Officials, Backs Protesters  President Donald Trump said Tuesday he’s canceled talks with Iranian officials amid a protest crackdown, telling Iranian citizens “help is on its way.” Trump did not offer any details about what the help would entail, but it comes after the Republican president earlier this week said Iran wants to negotiate with Washington after his threat to strike the Islamic Republic that has killed more than 2,000, according to human right monitors. But Trump with his latest message on social media appeared to make an abrupt shift about his willingness to engage with the Iranian government. "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!” Trump wrote in a morning post on Truth Social. “Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY.” Supreme Court Takes Up Landmark Trans Sports Cases  The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear its first cases challenging state laws that bar males who identify as transgender from competing in girls' athletics, setting up a major test of states' efforts to protect women and girls. The two cases ask whether states may restrict participation in girls' sports based on biological sex, or whether such laws violate federal protections under the Constitution and Title IX. At least 27 states have enacted similar laws aimed at preserving women's and girls' athletics. Trump tells Minnesotans ‘day of reckoning and retribution is coming’ after state sues over ICE raids  President Trump told Minnesotans Tuesday to “fear not” because a “day of reckoning and retribution is coming” for the Land of 10,000 Lakes as his administration pursues a sweeping anti-illegal immigration and benefits fraud crackdown. “Every place we go, crime comes down. In Chicago, despite a weak and incompetent Governor and Mayor fighting us all the way, a big improvement was made. Thousands of Criminals were removed!” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Minnesota Democrats love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing,” the president continued. US Marshals join search to locate ‘West Wing’ actor Timothy Busfield following child sex abuse charges  The US Marshals Service has joined in the hunt to locate Timothy Busfield after a warrant was issued for the actor’s arrest in New Mexico in connection with child sex abuse charges. The Albuquerque Police Department confirmed that its investigators are working with the US Marshals Service to track down the “West Wing” actor’s whereabouts and take him into custody in connection with the disturbing allegations. “Albuquerque Police Department is working with the US Marshal Service to get Mr. Busfield into custody,” department spokesperson Gilbert Gallegos told Deadline Monday. An arrest warrant has been issued for Timothy Busfield, the actor and director best known for his roles in “Field of Dreams” and the TV shows “The West Wing” and “Thirtysomething,” on allegations of child sex abuse in New Mexico. Busfield, 68, is wanted on two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse. Trump: 'We're Screwed' If Supreme Court Rules Against Tariffs  The Supreme Court is set to rule on the authority of President Donald Trump’s national security and trade-related tariffs, but Trump warned that U.S. national security would be "screwed" if the tariffs were unwound. "Remember, when America shines brightly, the World shines brightly," Trump said in a detailed Truth Social post Monday afternoon. "In other words, if the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE'RE SCREWED!" Trump has used tariffs to rebalance global trade and pressure global adversaries and allies on ending foreign wars, but a case before the Supreme Court could threaten to limit presidential authority by arguing the tariffs amount to a tax on the American people that must be approved by Congress. "The actual numbers that we would have to pay back if, for any reason, the Supreme Court were to rule against the United States of America on Tariffs, would be many Hundreds of Billions of Dollars," Trump's Truth Social post began, "and that doesn't include the amount of 'payback' that Countries and Companies would require for the Investments they are making on building Plants, Factories, and Equipment, for the purpose of being able to avoid the payment of Tariffs." Minn. State Rep. Wiener: Walz 'Needs to Be Impeached'  GOP Minnesota State Rep. Mike Wiener told Newsmax that Gov. Tim Walz means trouble for his state. During an appearance on "National Report" on Monday, Wiener said, "He is on the edge of sedition if he hasn't crossed that line already, and we're working on it right now. "He needs to be impeached." Mamdani calls ICE detention of NYC employee 'assault on our democracy' DHS detained Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez during routine immigration appointment, citing overstayed visa and assault arrest  The Department of Homeland Security detained a New York City Council employee during an immigration appointment on Monday, leading to outrage from Mayor Zohran Mamdani. DHS says the migrant, 53-year-old Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, overstayed on a 2017 tourist visa. They also say he was arrested in an assault case. Mamdani and other city leaders demanded the man's release on Monday. "I am outraged to hear a New York City Council employee was detained in Nassau County by federal immigration officials at a routine immigration appointment," Mamdani wrote in a statement on X. "This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values. I am calling for his immediate release and will continue to monitor the situation." DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin dismissed complaints, however, saying the department was fully justified in taking Bohorquez into custody. 'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams dies at age 68 Adams had been battling prostate cancer  "Dilbert" cartoonist Scott Adams has died at the age of 68, his former wife announced on his show Tuesday morning. "He’s not with us anymore," Shelly Miles told listeners. Adams, who became famous for the "Dilbert" cartoon that satirized cubicle office culture and the frustrations of corporate life, relayed to his fans a final message. "If you’re reading this, things did not go well for me. I have a few things to say before I go. My body fell before my brain. I am of sound mind as I write this January 1, 2026. If you wonder about any of my choices for my estate, or anything else, please know I am free of any… inappropriate influence of any sort, I promise," Miles said on behalf of Adams. MORNING GLORY: Trump is on the cusp of greatness. Khamenei is on the edge of the abyss President Trump has warned the Iranian dictator just as the president warned Maduro Hugh Hewitt ‘Doomed’ Iran regime can no longer ‘hide’ nationwide grievances from its people: Former US national intel manager for Iran Panelists Norman Roule and Karim Sadjadpour discuss the raging anti-regime protests in Iran and on ‘Special Report.’ The difference between the illusion of power and its reality is the difference between Ayatollah Khamenei and President Donald Trump. Trump is on the cusp of joining the very small number of American presidents who reorder the world. Khamenei is on the cusp of history’s abyss reserved for murderous fanatics. If Trump tips Khamenei over that edge, the president’s place in history will be secure. He will have returned freedom to the great Persian people. The belief in the unlimited power of a totalitarian government to maintain itself and protect its rulers is a dangerous conceit, as Syria's Bashar al-Assad and Venezuela’s Nicholas Maduro have both discovered. It may be that Ayatollah Khamenei is in the process of discovering the same hard reality: No government, no matter how ruthless, can endure for centuries or even decades in the face of a resentful population. Not even the rulers of Rome at the height of the Caesars or the Severan dynasty were guaranteed an endless run of power. The Soviet Union, which possessed both nuclear weapons and an omnipresent security service, survived only from 1922 to 1991. Prosecuting Jerome Powell will backfire on Team Trump The Federal Reserve’s gold-plated renovation of its DC headquarters is obscene, but Team Trump’s moves toward building a criminal case against Fed chief Jerome Powell are a gift to the president’s critics — and all too likely to backfire. Back in April, The Post broke the story of the appalling cost overruns in the Powell-overseen $2.5 billion “Palace of Versailles” remake of the Fed’s HQ, 32% above the still-eye-raising 2019 estimate of $1.9 billion. Powell’s outraged denials only made him look worse; his testimony to Congress on the debacle earned him a perjury referral. |
