 My son has narrated the last book I wrote. Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click on Book Cover) World & Nation Lara Trump Says Trump Knew He'd Run Again in 2021  Hours after leaving the White House at the end of his first term in January 2021, Donald Trump knew he had to run again for the presidency. That revelation came during a somber family dinner in Palm Beach, Florida, the night the Trumps returned from Washington after the bitter aftermath of the 2020 election, according to Lara Trump in an episode of New York Post columnist Miranda Devine's "Pod Force One" podcast released Wednesday. Lara Trump told Devine the family was "in a place of despair" as they took their final Air Force One flight to Florida, with "no one" having much to say. But before dinner began, she recalled, Donald Trump looked around at the family and delivered a blunt verdict: "Well, kids, I've got to do it again." Trump Marks 5 Years Since Limbaugh's Death  President Donald Trump on Tuesday honored conservative icon Rush Limbaugh on the fifth anniversary of his death, calling him "a really great man" and saying "there will never be another Rush Limbaugh." In a video posted to Truth Social, Trump reflected on Limbaugh's impact on the conservative movement and on his own political rise. "This is the fifth anniversary of the loss of a really great man, a great conservative, somebody that loved our country … but he was a friend of mine — Rush Limbaugh," Trump said.
Rep. Steube: AOC Unqualified for Munich Security Conference  Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., blasted the decision to feature Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., at the Munich Security Conference, telling Newsmax on Tuesday that the progressive lawmaker was unqualified to represent the United States at the forum. Steube said he was stunned when he saw Ocasio-Cortez's participation. "What's interesting is when I first saw her interview, my first question was out of all of the members of Congress, why in the world is AOC invited to the Munich Security Conference, when she has no background in security?" he said. Steube, who noted that he serves on the House Intelligence Committee, contrasted his own national security experience with Ocasio-Cortez's record, arguing that she lacks the knowledge required for a global security forum or a record of serving on relevant House committees. Nancy Guthrie disappearance: Sheriff pleads with suspect to ‘just let her go,’ insists case not cold  Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has made a plea to the suspect in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, urging the individual to "just let her go."

Schumer pushes bill to give Pride flag same status as US, military flags Schumer's legislation comes after Trump administration removed Pride flag from Stonewall National Monument  Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is making a push to have the Pride flag considered on the same level as the U.S. flag in the eyes of the federal government. Schumer announced plans to introduce legislation that would make the flag, a symbol of the LGBTQ movement, a congressionally authorized flag. The distinction would enshrine the flag with similar protections as the U.S. flag, military flags, POW/MIA flags and others recognized by Congress. His move comes after the Trump administration removed a Pride flag from a national monument outside the Stonewall Inn earlier this month. A clash between police and patrons at a gay bar in the 1960s is widely considered the birth of the gay rights movement. Steve Bannon Close to Epstein, Backed Trump Removal  Newly released Justice Department files shed fresh light on former Donald Trump strategist Steve Bannon's private communications with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The files reveal discussions about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove then-President Trump and efforts by Bannon to advise Epstein as Epstein faced renewed legal scrutiny. The documents, which include text messages and emails from late 2017 through Epstein's arrest in July 2019, show that Bannon — a prominent figure in the MAGA movement and former White House chief strategist — maintained a close and at times supportive relationship with Epstein.
No Breakthrough in Russia-Ukraine Talks  The latest U.S.-brokered talks between envoys from Moscow and Kyiv over Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine ended Wednesday with no sign of a breakthrough and with both sides saying the talks were “difficult,” as the war’s fourth anniversary approaches next week. The negotiations in Switzerland were the third round of direct talks organized by the U.S., after meetings earlier this year in Abu Dhabi that officials described as constructive but which also made no major headway. Expectations for significant progress in Geneva were low. “The negotiations were not easy,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after the talks broke up and he spoke briefly by phone from Kyiv with his negotiating team.
Zuckerberg Set to Testify in Watershed Social Media Trial  Mark Zuckerberg will testify in an unprecedented social media trial that questions whether Meta’s platforms deliberately addict and harm children. Urgent: Former Trump Banking Adviser's Scary Warning for Americans... See Now Meta’s CEO is expected to answer tough questions Wednesday from attorneys representing a now 20-year-old woman identified by the initials KGM, who claims her early use of social media addicted her to the technology and exacerbated depression and suicidal thoughts. Vance Says US 'Red Lines' Unmet After Latest Iran Talks  Iran asserted Tuesday that talks in Geneva produced agreement on “guiding principles” to avert conflict, but Vice President JD Vance countered that Tehran still has not recognized key U.S. red lines. The Omani-mediated talks were aimed at averting the possibility of U.S. military intervention to curb Iran's nuclear program, weeks after the cleric-run state killed thousands of people as it crushed mass demonstrations. Iran's supreme leader had warned earlier in the day that the country had the ability to sink a US warship recently deployed to the region, after President Donald Trump alluded to "consequences" should the two sides fail to strike a deal. Teen falsely accused of race-based bullying wins $3.2M verdict from Texas jury after viral allegations Asher Vann was never charged after 2021 sleepover allegations went viral and sparked national outrage  A Texas jury has delivered a decisive verdict in a case that once ignited national outrage and dominated headlines. Five years after a classmate accused Asher Vann of racially motivated bullying at a sleepover, jurors awarded Vann — now a college freshman — $3.2 million in damages, finding that false claims and a viral narrative caused severe emotional distress and invaded his privacy. The case stemmed from a 2021 incident in which 13-year-old SeMarion Humphrey alleged that Vann and several other boys shot him with a BB gun and forced him to drink urine during a sleepover — accusations that were quickly framed as race-based bullying and drew national media attention, protests and involvement from activists. Mamdani proposes raising NYC property taxes if state doesn't approve tax hike on wealthy Zohran Mamdani warned that a city property tax hike 'would effectively be a tax on working and middle class New Yorkers'  New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called for the state to increase taxes on corporations and the wealthy to help address city's budget deficit Tuesday, warning that the alternative option will be for the city to raise property taxes. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is calling for the Empire State to hike taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals in order to address the Big Apple's budget deficit, warning that the alternative would involve the city increasing property taxes and dipping into its reserves. Mamdani has issued a preliminary fiscal year 2027 budget that involves a property tax hike, a prospect he has described as a "last resort." Mamdani’s ‘cuckoo’ property tax hike will land him ‘Real Estate Agent of the Year’ after inevitable exodus, Kevin O’Leary says
Mamdani’s budget hands Hochul a political bomb — while rejecting the most prudent path forward ALEX BERENSON: I warned about cannabis dangers 7 years ago and nobody wanted to listen Author of 'Tell Your Children' says personal stories about psychiatric harms are finally breaking through media groupthink Suddenly warnings about cannabis are everywhere. At the beginning of February, researchers reported severe mental illness has spiked in young people in Canada alongside access to high-potency cannabis. The next day came the release of "A Killing In Cannabis," a book about a 2019 murder in California — and the violence that plagues the marijuana business and that legalization has not resolved. Then, on Feb. 9, the New York Times dropped its support for full cannabis legalization. Writing that the United States has "a Marijuana Problem," the paper admitted cannabis addiction and psychosis have become a crisis. It called for a ban on THC extracts, a move that would recriminalize much of the legal industry. (THC is the chemical in the plant that gets users high, and vapes offering near-pure hits of THC are now popular among users — and a big driver of industry profits.) America's Assault on American Values Needs to End By Michael Dorstewitz
The assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10 of last year should have been a wakeup call to the country — especially for the left. He was at Utah Valley University doing what he loved best, engaging with students having different views, when an assassin's bullet struck him in the neck, taking his life. He was hurting no one, but rather talking, using the tools of debate that have been employed in our constitutional republic for nearly 250 years as a means to discover the truth. Yet a growing number of people seem to believe that debating for the conservative principles that TPUSA stands for is a clear and present danger. |
