President Donald Trump confirmed Friday aboard Air Force One that he spoke with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) about removing Medicaid cuts in the House-passed bill that could hurt Trump supporters who go to rural hospitals. Traveling aboard Air Force One for the first time in the second Trump administration, Breitbart News asked the president for his thoughts on removing the cuts as Hawley has suggested. “We did speak about that. We’re really talking about waste fraud and abuse,” Trump said in the sky-set press gaggle.

President Donald Trump confirmed Friday aboard Air Force One that he spoke with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) about removing Medicaid cuts in the House-passed bill that could hurt Trump supporters who go to rural hospitals.
Traveling aboard Air Force One for the first time in the second Trump administration, Breitbart News asked the president for his thoughts on removing the cuts as Hawley has suggested.

As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk argued on social media on Thursday, the world’s richest man threatened to decommission a space capsule used to take astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station.
A few hours later, Musk said he wouldn’t follow through on the threat.
After Trump threatened to cut government contracts given to Musk’s SpaceX rocket company and his Starlink internet satellite services, Musk responded via X that SpaceX “will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.”
The decision, Barrack said, is part of a shift in the United States’ policies on Syria “because none of them worked” over the past 100 years.
Barrack spoke on Monday with the Turkish news channel NTN on several topics such as the Ukraine-Russia war, the ongoing conflict in Gaza, and Turkey-U.S. relations. Asked what kind of policy the United States seeks to implement on Syria, Barrack assured the interviewer, “Our current Syria policy will not be close to our Syria policy of the last 100 years, because none of them worked.”
The envoy announced the reduction of U.S. military bases in the Middle Eastern country.
President Donald Trump, speaking from the Oval Office Wednesday night, announced sweeping new travel restrictions in the wake of the recent terror attack in Boulder. Calling the attack a grim reminder of the dangers of unchecked immigration and lax visa policies, Trump outlined an executive order that reinstates and expands his signature travel ban from his first term. “The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted,” Trump said. “As well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas. We don’t want them.”
Comedian Dave Chappelle offered an inside look at the Saturday Night Live (SNL) writers' room after it was revealed that Donald Trump had defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
A funeral would have been more lively.
Chappelle, speaking with fellow comic Mo Amer on Variety magazine's "Actors on Actors" series, recalled hosting the show on the first Saturday after that historic election. However, he also drew on the reactions of the writers and cast as they prepared during the week.
"Man, when they called Donald Trump the winner - that s*** shut the writers' room down," he said, promoting hearty laughter from Amer.
"You should have seen them in there -
A Russian rocket attack targeted the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy on Tuesday, killing at least four people and wounding 25, officials said. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced the assault, saying it underscored that Moscow has no intentions of halting the 3-year-old war.
The attack came a day after direct peace talks in Istanbul made no progress on ending the fighting. Local authorities said the barrage of rockets struck apartment buildings and a medical facility in the center of Sumy.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s secret services said they struck inside Russia again, two days after a spectacular Ukrainian drone attack on air bases deep inside the country.

A surprise Ukrainian drone attack that targeted several Russian air bases hosting nuclear-capable strategic bombers was unprecedented in its scope and sophistication and for the first time reached as far as Siberia in a heavy blow to the Russian military.
Ukraine said over 40 bombers, or about a third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet, were damaged or destroyed Sunday, although Moscow said only several planes were struck. The conflicting claims couldn’t be independently verified and video of the assault posted on social media showed only a couple of bombers hit.
But the bold attack demonstrated Ukraine’s capability to hit high-value targets anywhere in Russia,
This article was co-authored by Greg Blackie. He is the deputy director of policy for the Arizona Free Enterprise Club.
In November 2022, Arizona voters narrowly approved Prop. 308, making Arizona the 24th state in the nation to offer taxpayer-subsidized, in-state tuition rates to illegals. Its narrow passage on the ballot was preceded by its razor-thin passage at the state legislature. It slipped out because two former Republican legislators, who had since lost their seats to primary challengers, rolled their caucus and voted in lock step with Democrats to force it for a vote.
Democrats' Party pearl-clutchers, perverts, and activists pretended to be upset last week over the idea that we’re all going to die. The fact is, we will all die someday, though their bad ideas will live on – 100,000,000 people were killed in the pursuit of the progressive political philosophy over the last century. There isn’t a single leftist alive who is bothered by that fact who can attest to that fact. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst told a group of liberals whining over the prospect of able-bodied adults without young children having to work to receive medical welfare that “Well, we’re all going to die.”
Donald Trump's efforts to reach an agreement with Iran on ending its nuclear program just got a lot more complicated.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a "comprehensive" report on Iran's nuclear program requested by the agency's 35-member board. The report confirmed that Iran had been carrying out clandestine nuclear activity at three sites long suspected of conducting weapons research. It also concluded that Iran had vastly increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), spinning up 50% more as of May 17 than they had previously reported. That translates into the capability to construct up to nine nuclear bombs.
Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler slammed President Trump for “sowing chaos” nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office.
The lawmaker’s verbal tirade came after Department of Homeland Security officers entered the Big Apple office Wednesday and accused his staff of “harboring rioters” in a dramatic confrontation caught on video.
“President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidating tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,”
The late Irving Kristol defined a neoconservative “as a liberal who got mugged by reality.”
It turns out the process was not limited to people of an earlier era, as the ongoing saga of Jake Tapper illustrates.
The CNN anchor has been a reliable cheerleader for all things Democrat and a snide anti-Trumper, but dramatically broke ranks by daring to co-author a book about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the White House cabal that tried to conceal it from the public.
For his trouble, Tapper is being mocked by former allies and labeled a traitor,

Comedian Kathy Griffin said Thursday on the “Don Lemon Show” that she did not believe President Donald Trump won freely and fairly in the 2o24 presidential election.
Griffin asked, “Are you ready for a tin-foil hat moment?”
Lemon said, “Yes.”
Griffin said, “I am just going to be bold and say this. You know, you can take issue with this all you want. I do not think he won in a free and fair election. How do you like that, lefties? Yeah, I said it. I’m Kathy Griffin, and I do not think Trump won in a free and fair election. I believe there was tampering.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers this week advanced several efforts aimed at reining in utility profits and slashing electricity bills as part of their agenda to tackle the sky-high costs of living. The proposals would make sweeping changes to how utilities fund expensive infrastructure projects like putting power lines underground to guard against wildfires. They also would add more oversight around wildfire mitigation spending and put new requirements on utility requests to increase rates. Supporters said the goal is to make the big investor-owned utilities start sharing some of the costs to fight wildfires and build new transmission infrastructure. “This
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a wild statement on Friday in the wake of the start of the anti-ICE rioting in her city, saying "We will not stand for this." She didn't mean they wouldn't stand for the riots or obstructing law enforcement, she meant they wouldn't stand for the ICE actions. This morning, we received reports of federal immigration enforcement actions in multiple locations in Los Angeles. As Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place. These tactics sow terror in our communities
The Elon-Trump Bromance Crashes and Burns

Elon Musk is First Buddy no longer.
The epic bromance between Musk and President Donald Trump, between the richest man on the planet and the most powerful one, has come to an end, not with a bang but with a tweet: Just days after Trump granted Musk a golden key in an Oval Office send-off from his role as head of DOGE and adviser to the White House, Musk unleashed on the president’s Big Beautiful Bill: “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” he wrote on his social media platform, X. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
Olympic gymnastics icon Simone Biles called out former National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) swimmer Riley Gaines for her vocal opposition to allowing males who identify as females to compete in women’s sports.
Gaines shared a comment regarding Champlin Park’s Class AAAA Softball State Champion for 2025, with a clear implication that the star player was male.(Snip)Biles responded and said that this perspective fosters division and harms the transgender community, with some calling it a form of “bullying” instead of supporting inclusivity.
Logic proves that the Biblical God exists

William Sullivan’s essay regarding scientific atheism is intriguing and enlightening. It got me thinking about a very simple proof for a Creator.
The atheist loves to proclaim, “There is no scientific proof of the existence of God!” This is true, since by “scientific” proof, the atheist means “empirical” proof, and there is no empirical proof of anything.
However, it is quite easy to use logic to prove in easy steps that God exists and that He is the God of the Bible.
1. Every existing thing either is or is not existentially dependent upon the action of other beings. Those beings that are existentially dependent are called “contingent.” A being that is not
It's getting wild in California.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom should have called out the National Guard himself to deal with the riots now ongoing around the Los Angeles area. But he didn't. And it's getting crazy, with federal law enforcement assaulted, even cars set on fire as people wave foreign flags.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin even shared video that someone took in one of the CBP vehicles that was attacked; a Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agent was injured in the melee. So, now Border Czar Tom Homan says they are bringing in the Guard in response. Newsom is throwing a tantrum on X over the reported action.
Far-left Rep. Pramila Jayapal has begun proudly hosting “shadow hearings” about the deportation of alleged illegal alien gang bangers.
Titled “Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s Lawless Third Country Disappearances,” the first hearing was held Friday: [Tweet, video]
“Since taking office in January, President Trump has shown nothing but utter contempt for the Constitution,” Jayapal said in a statement. “He has ignored and decimated the traditional role of Congress and defied and defamed the courts, doing untold damage to our democracy.”
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out operations at businesses across Los Angeles on Friday, sparking protests and clashes outside at least one location, which resulted in authorities throwing flash bangs in an effort to disperse the crowd.
The Associated Press reported that immigration advocates confirmed nearly 45 people were arrested across seven locations. The locations included two Home Depot stores, a store in the fashion district and a doughnut shop, according to Angelica Salas, the executive director of the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), who spoke at an afternoon news conference to denounce the actions.

Two parents are facing charges after their seven-year-old son was fatally struck by a vehicle while walking home with his brother in Gastonia, North Carolina.
The Gastonia Police Department announced in a press release that it had filed criminal charges against Samuele Jenkins and Jessica Ivey for allowing their children to walk two blocks to the store. The parents are facing charges of Felony Involuntary Manslaughter, Felony Child Neglect, and Misdemeanor Child Neglect.
“On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at approximately 5:55 p.m., officers responded to a reported traffic collision in the 1000 block of West Hudson Boulevard,” the press release said.
Los Angeles has been embroiled in anti-ICE riots for the last couple of days.
We've been reporting on a lot of the violence, including assailing a federal detention facility, hurling rocks at agents in cars, blocking their vehicles, damaging property, and even setting vehicles on fire while waving a foreign flag.
Yet what you got from the local officials was failed action. The first statement from Mayor Bass on Friday was encouraging the bad actors. DHS said their building was surrounded, and it took the police two hours to respond to their calls.
Private companies can do whatever they want,” leftists once snorted in defense of companies like Facebook banning conservative speech.
But now the tables have turned, and LGBTQ activists have found themselves in a state between panicked and sulky as their fair-weather friends in corporate America are pulling sponsorships of Pride celebrations this month.
As a result, Pride events across the nation are facing budget shortfalls, and activists are blaming everyone but themselves. At least 14 companies — including Pepsi, Citi, MasterCard, Nissan, Garnier, and US defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. — have dropped or greatly scaled back their financial contributions to annual Pride events nationwide.
