Key participant in 2012 Benghazi, Libya, attack that killed 4 Americans is in custody Trump Wants New Nuclear Arms Treaty With Russia  With a nuclear arms pact between Russia and the United States expiring on Thursday, President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he wants to see a new treaty between the two nations. Without the New START Treaty, there would be no caps on the two largest atomic arsenals for the first time in more than a half-century. "The United States is the most powerful Country in the World," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
U.S. rejects flawed New START arms accord State Department arms official reveals secret Chinese underground nuclear tests  The Trump administration rejected continuing to abide by the expired New START agreement limiting U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons, because it fails to curb Moscow’s strategic arsenal and excludes China’s rapid expansion of its nuclear forces, a senior State Department official said Friday. Thomas G. DiNanno, under secretary of state for arms control and international security, also said President Trump is prepared to resume nuclear testing based on violations of a test ban by Russia and underground blasts carried out by China in violation of a moratorium on testing. In a speech Friday to the U.N. Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, Mr. DiNanno said the United States will no longer be restrained by one-sided arms agreements that unilaterally hindered U.S. security while allowing Russia and China expand their arsenals with new weapons. TMZ's Harvey Levin describes 'structured' Nancy Guthrie ransom note  TMZ founder Harvey Levin appeared on "Hannity" Thursday night, providing explosive new information about a purported ransom note his newsroom received in the case of the missing Nancy Guthrie. Guthrie, 84, who is the mother of NBC's "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since early Sunday morning, and authorities are racing to find clues as to her whereabouts. Friday will be day six of the investigation. Levin outlined that while an initial Thursday deadline for the alleged ransom note had passed, a second Monday deadline is "far more consequential." Mamdani's NYC Health Department staffers reportedly studying effects of 'global oppression' on health New York City mayor criticized for appointing staff members and aides with ties to anti-Zionism and antisemitism  Members of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Department of Health reportedly held their first "Global Oppression and Public Health Working Group" meeting on Tuesday, according to the New York Post. Members of the group met for a more than hourlong presentation at the department’s headquarters to discuss the group’s purpose, referencing what they called the "genocide" in Gaza as an example of global oppression. "We really developed in response to the ongoing genocide in Palestine," the presenter said in audio obtained by the New York Post. The presenter continued, "And the working group aims to address the growing interests among the health department staff to learn about current and ongoing global oppression in its many forms and how it influences the advancement of health equity." Washington Post joins other news outlets in laying off race-based journalists CBS News, NBC News, LA Times are among media organizations rolling back diversity reporting  Among the high-profile layoffs at The Washington Post this week was its race-based journalist. Emmanuel Felton, who's X profile now describes himself as the "first and last race and ethnicity reporter" at the Post, revealed he was among the hundreds of staffers who were cut from the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" paper, though he claims his specific ouster "wasn't a financial decision." "This comes six months after hearing in a national meeting that race coverage drives subscriptions," Felton posted Wednesday. "This wasn't a financial decision, it was an ideological one." Felton, who is Black, joined the Post in June 2021 after working as an investigative reporter at the inequality desk for BuzzFeed News, according to his LinkedIn and Post author pages. Korean War Hero Earns Medal Of Honor For Secret Mission That Involved Lots Of Dead Soviets Royce Williams shot down multiple Soviet fighter jets in a mission that was kept secret for decades.  Korean War hero Royce Williams is being awarded the Medal of Honor, and his actions are something not even Hollywood could have dreamed up. Congressman Darrell Issa announced on Wednesday that President Donald Trump officially informed Williams of his MoH. The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest military award. It is only awarded for actions so heroic that oftentimes, the person earning it is killed. Williams is still with us in 2026, and his once-secret actions are now out in the public. RNC rolls out ‘powerful’ new TikTok strategy to win over key demographic after Trump's 2024 success Trump has credited his TikTok presence with helping in his 2024 win  The Republican National Committee is upping its social media presence and following President Donald Trump’s lead by officially launching a TikTok account, marking a strategic shift for the party as it continues to look to connect with younger voters. The RNC’s plan to make an impact on the digital front lines involves the official launch of @Republicans on TikTok, which is designed to engage a critical demographic, voters under 30 who may not follow traditional political news but rely heavily on social media for information. The move comes at the same time polling from Pew Research shows that 63% of Americans aged 18-29 use TikTok. The platform has become an essential battleground for reaching the next generation of voters. Self-identified Antifa member arrested after allegedly threatening ICE agents, DOJ says A Minnesota man who self-identifies as an Antifa member was arrested Thursday after allegedly making violent threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, the Department of Justice said. Kyle Wagner, 37, of Minneapolis, is accused in a criminal complaint of using social media in January to encourage assaults on federal law enforcement officers and threaten ICE agents.

The charges made against the judge stem from a year-old incident in which Speedlin Gonzalez had San Antonio defense attorney Elizabeth Russell handcuffed in court after a disagreement. She was indicted last Thursday by a grand jury on both charges and was booked at the Bexar County jail before being released on bond. Democrats’ defund-the-police plan failed, but here they go again Minnesota officials applying George Floyd protest tactics to immigration enforcement By Sen. John Kennedy
As I’ve watched the protests in Minneapolis, it seems obvious to me that America is at risk of falling face-first into another disastrous anti-law enforcement crisis. Here’s a cold dish of truth: There are some people in this world who enjoy hurting other people and taking other people’s stuff. These people aren’t sick. They’re not confused. They’re not mixed up. It’s not that their mothers or fathers didn’t love them enough. They’re just antisocial. I don’t know why God made some people that way. If I get to Heaven, I’m going to ask. Every society deals with these people differently, but in America, we’ve chosen to hire brave men and women to enforce our laws by confronting antisocial people when they commit crimes. We rarely hear about these courageous officers and the millions of positive interactions they have each day. We only hear about the handful of cops who — by negligence or by choice — harm other people while enforcing the law. Kamala Harris returning to the political landscape can be best described by Gen Z as ‘cringe’ By Douglas Murray
I suppose I should admit it: I miss Kamala Harris. Life in this country has not been the same without her. We’ve missed her musings on yellow buses, all that talk about coconut trees, and of course her meditations on the nature of time. Since Kamala has gone silent, I often find myself going back to her greatest hits, to remind myself, for instance, that time, when you think about it, has great significance. On Thursday, the former vice president did a 30-second promo video in which she gets asked the question that is on the lips of all Americans: |
