An Iranian official confirmed on Friday that Iran and Russia are partnering on the construction of a new nuclear plant in Iran, which will be funded “using Moscow’s credit line.”
According to The Algemeiner, Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad met with Russian Minister of Energy Sergei Tsivilev in Moscow on Friday for the 18th Joint Economic Cooperation Commission. The outlet reported that Paknejad confirmed that the two countries were strengthening cooperation in “peaceful” nuclear energy and would be building a new nuclear plant in Iran with Russian funding. Paknejad announced, “Iran and Russia will continue their cooperation in the peaceful use
Canada held elections on Tuesday, and in a stunning development, Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party completed the comeback. While the conservatives did make gains compared to the last decade, left-winger Mark Carney will remain prime minister, and the bill is about to come due.
After suffering under years of Trudeau's disastrous leadership, Canadians had a chance to change course. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who was the odds-on favorite to win the election just a few months ago, had promised to lift his nation out of its decline, promoting personal and economic freedom.
The choice should have been clear. Instead, the voters of Canada decided that what they needed
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is reportedly issuing the code red on any further Democrat trips to El Salvador. It’s part of the Democratic Party’s obsession with busting out Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien living in Maryland who got shipped back to his home country. The Democrats tried to stake their claim that he wasn’t an MS-13 member. As it turns out, the evidence proving that Garcia is a gang member and a domestic abuser could scale K2. So, it’s prudent for the leader of House Democrats to put the kibosh on these Club Med trips to Central America to visit this wife-beating gangbanger. Well, now Jeffries' office is

The Trump administration is reportedly considering sending illegal immigrants with criminal records to Libya and Rwanda.
CNN reported on Wednesday that the administration is currently in talks with the governments of the two nations to facilitate such a deal. The report suggests this could be an effort to deter foreigners from entering the US illegally. "The proposals mark a dramatic escalation in the administration’s push to deter people journeying to the United States and remove some of those already here to countries thousands of miles away, some of which have checkered pasts. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January directing top officials to facilitate international cooperation and agreements
In between the fall of the Roman Empire and the birth of the Italian Renaissance, Western Europe economically stagnated and culturally declined in what are commonly called the Dark Ages.
This period, which lasted several centuries, has become known as the Dark Ages primarily because societal advancements and human progress generally ceased as sound science, facts, and the truth were disregarded by elites who sought power and control.
Sadly, Western Europe is treading down this road again.
A few days ago, Spain, Portugal, and parts of France and Belgium literally went dark for hours after a massive power disruption led to a system-wide grid collapse.
Reform UK has gained a new Member of Parliament by just six votes, won its first mayor, and picked up more councillors than all other parties combined in early results in a historic night.
Nigel Farage celebrated a “huge night for Reform” where his party showed all signs of having “cut deep” into the votes of both the governing Labour Party and official opposition the Conservatives, who he said Reform was now supplanting. Crucially, the party won major contests against both UK legacy political parties, underlining Farage’s claim that Reform is not merely a force on the right but something above the old
The White House has launched a website tracking the flood of announced investments into the United States since President Donald Trump’s return to office.
The website features 49 major investments from prominent companies in a wide swath of sectors, including tech, pharmaceuticals, energy, and more.
On the technology front, Apple and Nvidia each have committed $500 billion investments in the United States. Stargate, a joint project between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, also announced a $500 billion investment. IBM plans its own 12-figure investment of $150 billion.
President Donald Trump late Thursday announced plans to designate May 8 as World War II “Victory Day” in the United States, which coincides with the “Victory in Europe Day” that has been celebrated in most of Europe since the Germans surrendered in 1945.
Trump acknowledged in a Truth Social that “many of our allies and friends” already celebrate on May 8, but said America should join in because “we did more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result.”
On May 7, 1945, the Germans surrendered to the Allied Forces, and agreed to cease all operations the next day. World War II officially ended later in the year
President Trump signed an executive order late Thursday terminating federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
NPR and PBS, which have long been targeted for cuts by conservatives, both receive partial funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which the president argued is unnecessary in the current media environment.
“Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence,” Trump wrote in the order. “The CPB Board shall cease direct funding to NPR and PBS, consistent with my Administration’s policy to ensure that Federal funding does not support biased and partisan news coverage,”
She's the queen of Capitol gains.
New Jersey congresswoman Mikie Sherrill (D.) has banked millions of dollars since coming to Congress in 2019, a review of her financial disclosures by the Washington Free Beacon shows.
In her 2019 financial disclosures, Sherrill reported assets totaling between $733,209 and $4,321,000. By 2024, those figures had ballooned to between $4,840,076 and $13,975,000. The wide swing of ranges comes because federal financial disclosure forms require each asset to be listed as between a range of values. That requirement means that Sherrill, in theory, could have only seen an asset increase of roughly $500,000, but that possibility is unlikely.
Elon Musk said Department of Government Efficiency staffers have no plans to take their “eye off the ball” when it comes to slashing government waste and spending as the richest man alive prepares to transition out of his role in the Trump administration.
The billionaire tech entrepreneur told Fox Host Jesse Watters that DOGE will remain a “long-term enterprise” even after his status as a special government employee ends on May 30.
“It’s a long-term enterprise because if we take our eye off the ball, the waste and fraud will come roaring back,” Musk, 53, said
The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to strip temporary legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to being deported.
The Justice Department asked the high court to put on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month.
The status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife.
A federal appeals court had earlier rejected the administration’s request.

Former presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has sparked fresh facelift rumors after she was spotted sporting an enviably-taut visage.
The former president and secretary of state stepped out in New York City on Wednesday night after eating at Carota in the city's West Village.
Hillary, 77, looked taut faced and wrinkle free in the new pictures of the two, while Bill looked his 78 years. Bystanders cheered as they left the eatery. Her new look comes after speculation that she went under the knife before beginning her campaign for the 2016 presidency.
Journalist Edward Klein wrote in his book 'Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary', that husband Bill had 'wanted her
On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) argued that President Donald Trump “continued to close the border,” after President Joe Biden “used his extraordinary powers, emergency powers to close down the border and the drop in border crossings started with President Biden, dramatically.”
Host Leland Vittert said that during NewsNation’s town hall earlier in the evening, “the border almost didn’t come up because it is something that Donald Trump has solved that Joe Biden said he couldn’t do without legislation, Donald Trump did. Has that been a place that the Democrats are facing some real weakness and vulnerability?”
Former President Biden and Jill Biden are sitting down for their first interview together since leaving the White House, appearing next week on “The View.”
The couple is poised to join the ABC daytime talk show next Thursday to “discuss life after [Biden’s] presidency, his legacy, Democrats’ election losses, and the current political landscape,” the network said in a Thursday statement.
Biden has been slowly stepping back into the spotlight since exiting the White House following former Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss to President Trump in November.
Last month, Biden delivered his first public address after leaving office at a conference in Chicago.
As you know, it’s very difficult to be a minority in the modern United States of America. The U.S. is widely known for being among the most hostile countries in the world for anyone who is not white, for gay people, for trans people, for religious minorities, and for all women.
Except it’s not because that’s the opposite of the truth.
It is breathtaking how American citizens who enjoy the highest standard of living and the most legal freedom in the world believe they are living in an oppressive authoritarian regime. And they really do seem to believe it. Modern feminists get dolled up in Handmaid’s Tale costumes to protest the
The first descriptor I attached to Donald Trump, back when he took the lead in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, was “empty vessel.” He was never that.
Several cities across Italy, Portugal, and Spain are preparing for protests on June aimed at pushing back against the effects of mass tourism, despite local economies being so reliant on foreign money coming into their cities. Organizers say the demonstrations will focus on issues such as housing shortages, environmental damage, and strained public infrastructure in areas overwhelmed by visitor traffic, according to Travel and Tour World.
The movement is being coordinated by the Southern Europe Network Against Touristification, which includes activists from Venice, Lisbon, Palermo, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands. Roughly 120 representatives met in Barcelona recently to finalize the protest plans, hoping to pressure
A teacher in Maine repeatedly called for the killing of President Trump and his supporters on social media. She admitted her Superintendent “will have to fire me” over the call to violence.
JoAnna St. Germain, an English teacher at Waterville Senior High School, took to Facebook to ask the Secret Service to “take out” the president.
“The Secret Service has the perfect opportunity, if they choose to step up and take it,” she wrote.
“You are the ones with power. Coordinate. Take out every single person who supports Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts. Look at the sycophants and give them what they’re asking for.

Classmate: Report 13 replies
The Harvard Law Review is awarding a $65,000 fellowship meant to serve "the public interest" to Ibrahim Bharmal, the Harvard Law School student who faced criminal charges for assaulting an Israeli classmate, according to a new report.
Bharmal is one of this year's recipients of the Harvard Law Review Fellowship, Ira Stoll of The Editors reported. The program supports "recent Harvard Law School graduates"—Bharmal is set to graduate this month—with "a demonstrated interest in serving the public interest through their work and scholarship." It comes with a $65,000 stipend that funds each fellow's work "in a public-interest related role at a government agency or nonprofit organization."
Some foreign truckers are reportedly quitting the industry because President Donald Trump directed deputies Monday to restart the English-language proficiency tests for foreign drivers.
One Spanish-speaking driver told CBS Miami that “it is an awful law,” and added that he has seen many truck drivers putting their trucks on sale.
“The Cuban-American community could be one of the most affected,” said a report from En.Cibercuba.com.
“It is estimated that between 20,000 and 25,000 truck drivers of Cuban origin are active in the United States, many of whom have limited proficiency in English, [and] the requirement to pass an official test could pose an additional hurdle for their job stability,”
A newly released survey by ResumeTemplates.com indicates that 75 percent of graduating college seniors have not yet secured employment, and 34 percent have not even started to apply for jobs. Of the latter group, almost 25 percent say they feel too overwhelmed to even begin the search.

Julia Toothacre, ResumeTemplates chief career strategist, told The Epoch Times that she is not at all surprised by those findings. (snip)“A lot of college students are in a bubble and don’t even think about jobs until two weeks before graduation. Some of them are still trying to figure out exactly what they want to do.”
NPR CEO Katherine Maher traveled over to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Tuesday to ring the alarm bells over what could happen should NPR lose its federal money. Maher painted a nightmarish scenario where people go without news, Sesame Street gets shut down, and political polarization increases because, according to her, public media is the “foundational infrastructure” that holds the country together.
Host Jordan Klepper began by wondering, “The criticism from the right is, what do we need public funds to go towards NPR for? What is that argument? People are getting their news from all sorts of people. Most people get their news from the TikTok feed
A Donald Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas ruled that the president unlawfully invoked the Alien Enemies Act and blocked the administration from quickly deporting some alleged members of a Venezuelan gang.
US District Judge Fernando Rodriguez of the Southern District of Texas said Trump had unlawfully invoked the sweeping 18th century wartime authority to speed up some deportations. His decision means Trump cannot rely on the law to detain or deport any alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua within his district.
