 My son has narrated the last book I wrote. Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click HERE) World & Nation Trump Weighs Iran Strike, Strait Options  President Donald Trump on Thursday reportedly will be updated on plans for potential military action in Iran, as tensions escalate and negotiations remain at a standstill. Trump is set to receive a high-level briefing from CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper outlining options that include a "short and powerful" wave of strikes targeting Iranian infrastructure, Axios reported. The plans, developed by U.S. military leaders, are aimed at breaking the deadlock in nuclear negotiations and forcing Tehran back to the table with greater flexibility.
US Seeks Coalition to Help Reopen Hormuz Shipping  As traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has stalled following a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports, the Trump administration is urging countries to join a new coalition to allow ships to navigate one of the world's most vital oil transit chokepoints. An internal State Department memo titled "Maritime Freedom Construct," sent Tuesday to U.S. embassies, calls on diplomats to press foreign governments to participate, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. The U.S.-led coalition would share information, coordinate diplomatically, and help enforce sanctions, according to the cable.
Minnesota Democrats push bill to cut state aid to cities that fly the original state flag New design has been met with criticism from people who consider it a poor replacement and others who say it resembles the Somali national flag  The Minnesota House of Representatives introduced a bill that could penalize cities and counties for not flying the redesigned state flag. Members of Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party pushed legislation Monday to reduce state aid to a county or city that "flies or otherwise makes use of a state flag other than the design of the state flag as certified in the report of the State Emblems Redesign Commission." If passed, the bill would go into effect in 2027. Iran supreme leader statement: Only place for US in Persian Gulf is 'bottom of its waters'  The supreme leader of Iran, despite questions of his health and active hold on the country in crisis, is signaling no retreat on the country’s core military programs even as President Donald Trump seeks peace. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, while reportedly in questionable health, issued a Persian Gulf Day statement online, vowing the Islamic Republic would protect its “nuclear and missile capabilities” and drawing a hard line as tensions remain high over the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s confrontation with the U.S. Khamenei also escalated his rhetoric against Washington, saying the only place for the American military in the Persian Gulf is “at the bottom of its waters.” Rep Seth Moulton says Hegseth is 'guilty' of war crimes, links him to Nazis tried during World War II The Dem lawmaker grilled the Pentagon chief about the strikes on suspected Venezuelan drug boats  Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., tells CNN's Erin Burnett that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is "guilty" of war crimes and links him to Nazis who were tried during World War II. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., leveled heavy accusations against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, linking his actions to Nazis during World War II. During Hegseth's testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, Moulton pressed him on the Trump administration's strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, telling him it's a "war crime" under the Geneva Conventions to order the "murder" of remaining survivors on the boats. Hegseth responded by telling Moulton the military abides by the "rules of engagement" and praised the effectiveness of his war fighters. Surveillance photos show Secret Service agents firing at Trump's alleged would-be assassin inside DC hotel Photos show at least eight officers reacting as Cole Allen, 31, allegedly rushed toward the ballroom with a shotgun  Cole Allen, suspected gunman in the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner shooting, faces charges including attempt to assassinate the president. A Secret Service officer was shot by Allen, not friendly fire, with premeditated intent. Images from surveillance video outside the Washington Hilton ballroom obtained by The Washington Post show the moment when an alleged would-be assassin of President Donald Trump charges toward a security checkpoint where he was fired upon by a Secret Service agent. The photos show several Secret Service agents reacting as Cole Allen, 31, allegedly attempted to gain access to the room that was teeming with high-level government officials, including Trump, Vice President JD Vance and the first and second ladies. Agents can be seen breaking down one of two magnetometers as the suspect bolted toward them. One agent draws his weapon and fires at the suspect. The photos show four muzzle flashes from those shots. A Wednesday court filing from federal prosecutors said the agent fired five shots but did not strike Allen. TPUSA reporter attacked at anti-ICE protest speaks out after three indicted in assault case 'I feel so grateful that the federal government is actually paying attention to assaults on journalists,' Savanah Hernandez said  A Turning Point USA reporter who was assaulted during an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis is speaking out after a federal grand jury handed down indictments on Tuesday for three individuals in connection with the attack. The indicted individuals were identified by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche as Christopher Ostroushko, DeYanna Ostroushko and Paige Ostroushko. "[Savanah] Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground — simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT 'peaceful protest.' These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence," Blanche wrote on X. Frontlines TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that she was "grateful" to see indictments brought against her alleged attackers. Michigan Dem Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow purges X account following The Post’s report on her social media history  Michigan Democrat Mallory McMorrow, a candidate for US Senate, deleted thousands of tweets, some of which defended “coastal elites” and were critical of “Middle America,” after The Post first reported on them last year. Morrow, 39, purged her X account of roughly 6,000 posts, including all her tweets posted prior to 2020, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reported Wednesday. The journalist noted the social media cleanse came after The Post’s April 2025 scoop on McMorrow’s tweet history. The deleted posts even included jabs at the purple state she is now running to represent. Trump: GOP Senators Must Scrap Filibuster, Reject Dems' 'Abuse'  President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded that Senate Republicans scrap the filibuster to advance his top legislative priority, the SAVE America Act, as well as other major proposals, as internal GOP debates over key party legislation play out through the narrowly divided chamber. "How much abuse can the Republican Senate take from the Radical Left Lunatics in the form of Democrat Senators, before they BLOW UP (TERMINATE!) THE FILIBUSTER, and approve things at a record clip, including The Save America Act, that would be unthinkable without the Filibuster Termination???" he said on Truth Social. "The Dems will do it on the first hour of their first day. DO NOT BE STUPID!!!" he added.
Dems' Shutdown Pushes Coast Guard Into 'Crisis'  The U.S. Coast Guard reportedly is operating in "crisis" as a result of the Democrats' partial government shutdown. Now stretching beyond 70 days, the Department of Homeland Security funding lapse is taking a mounting toll on one of the nation’s most critical military services. Unlike the other armed forces, which fall under the Defense Department, the Coast Guard operates within DHS — leaving it uniquely vulnerable when political gridlock halts funding. The Biden admin’s COVID vaccine cover-up and lies can no longer be denied – or the damage they caused By Miranda Devine
As Dr. Anthony Fauci’s right-hand man, David Morens, was charged this week with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in the COVID-19 cover-up, another scandal over the vaccine was unfolding on Capitol Hill. According to a new Senate report and congressional testimony on Wednesday, Biden administration health officials deliberately ignored warning signs of possible serious reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, including heart attacks, strokes, Bell’s palsy and sudden cardiac death. Within three months of the vaccines being rolled out, in March 2021, red flags were fluttering out of the weekly data dumps from doctors and patients reporting health problems after the shots, according to internal emails and meeting notes provided by the Department of Health and Human Services to Sen. Ron Johnson’s Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Democrats’ anti-ICE tantrum leaves Republicans with one option going forward As the anti-ICE, pro-Karen wing has grown in prominence, Senate Democrats have developed a severe allergy to common-sense policies By Sen. John Kennedy
For more than 70 days, Senate Democrats claimed that they shut down the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) because they wanted to reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It’s clear now that they shut down DHS out of fear of their own voters. The loon wing of the Democratic Party — the folks who think Dr. Seuss is racist, Mr. Potato Head is sexist and children can change their genders at recess — is the largest and loudest segment of the Democratic Party. They hate our immigration laws. They want criminal illegal aliens to roam free while ICE officers rot in jail. And they have made it clear to every Democrat in office that a vote to fund ICE would haunt them for the rest of their natural lives. But the American people don’t want open borders, and they don’t think cops are worse than criminals. They know it is bone-deep stupid to allow gang members, drug traffickers and terrorists to enter our country unchecked, and they support the ongoing effort to deport as many violent criminals as possible. |
