On Monday, after hosting the historic first Shield of the Americas Summit in Doral, Fla., Donald Trump stopped by a Venezuelan restaurant, El Arepazo, on his way to the airport to fly back to Washington, D.C. He was greeted with cheers and applause and chants of "Trump!" and "USA!" The crowd loved him, as they often do during these types of appearances, but this one was, potentially, a bit more meaningful.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly argued that the Iranian regime bears some responsibility for the terrorist suicide bombing of the USS Cole in 2000. The president has gotten pushback from some in the press, but a federal judge has repeatedly agreed with him. In an oft-forgotten terror attack, al-Qaeda terrorists bombed the U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Cole in October 2000 — less than a year before 9/11 — killing 17 U.S. sailors and wounding dozens more. Abd al Rahim Hussayn Muhammad al Nashiri was a top associate of Osama bin Laden and the alleged mastermind of the attack against the U.S. naval ship —

The International Energy Agency announced Wednesday that its member countries, which includes the United States, would release 400 million barrels of oil from reserves. However, whether the U.S. will participate in any releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is unclear. The act will be the largest release of crude from global strategic reserves in history, and it’s part of an effort to bring down crude oil prices, the according to The Wall Street Journal. The release would be twice the size of the next largest release, which occurred in 2022 following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That release put 182 million barrels of oil on the market.

Sudan's ongoing civil war is not just a clash between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and their former military allies-turned rivals, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). It is a calculated power grab by the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood, recently listed by the US as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT).... Meanwhile, the terrorist organization appears to be using the SAF as a Trojan horse to dominate northeast Africa and the Red Sea – a critical artery for global commerce. Saudi Arabia's ideological red lines have long included deep hostility to the Muslim Brotherhood — but only within its own borders.

President Donald Trump celebrated a report that the FBI obtained election records from Arizona’s largest county, a move that follows a federal raid last month on a Georgia county’s elections department. Maricopa County, the site of the reported FBI raid, has been a contentious jurisdiction for elections, particularly after Joe Biden beat Donald Trump narrowly in the state in 2020. Trump wrote “Great!!!” in a Truth Social post about the report of the FBI demanding election records. The state Senate conducted a forensic audit of the 2020 election returns in Maricopa County.

The Department of Education will soon require universities to publicly disclose the counterparties of foreign funding, a senior Education Department official told The Daily Signal. Section 117 of the Higher Education Act requires higher education institutions to report gifts and contracts valued at $250,000 or more to the Department of Education, to make them available for public inspection. Universities currently report counterparties, their gifters or contractors, to the agency. However, the identities of foreign counterparties are not made public, which the senior department official said violates the law.

‘The Democrats are betting on failure.” That’s how National Review’s Noah Rothman characterizes the Democratic Party’s response to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on the terrorist regime that controls Iran. But Rothman has it only half right. Democrats aren’t just betting on failure in Iran. They are trying to engineer it. And not just in Iran, but at home as well, where they are actively trying to undermine the economy. Because, you see, the midterms are coming up, and to Democrats, what matters isn’t the well-being of Americans or ridding the world of its chief terrorist threat. The only thing that matters is winning elections. While Ayatollah Khamenei’s body was still warm,

Officials reportedly said a prison guard in the unit where Jeffrey Epstein was being held searched his name on Google minutes before he was found dead. U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) documents showed the guard also made a $5,000 deposit just over a week before his death, the New York Post reported on Saturday, identifying the guard as Tova Noel. In August 2019 Epstein, a convicted pedophile, was found dead inside his Manhattan jail cell where reports said he hanged himself. Noel and another guard were accused of falsifying records to make it appear as though they had checked on Epstein during the night hours.

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is proposing a bill that, if passed, would make the first $75,000 of a household income tax free. If the bill -- called the Keep Your Pay Act -- passes, it would more than double the standard deduction for taxpayers. Under Booker’s proposal, which was revealed Monday, the median American family would see their taxes cut by roughly 85%. Single filers and heads of households would also receive proportional tax relief through the Keep Your Pay Act. In a video advocating his bill, Booker said in part: "The tax system, we all know this, is rigged. It’s rigged against working people and all full of things to help

Iranian regime loyalists displayed a taped-together cardboard cutout of their new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who was reportedly injured in recent strikes and has not been seen since his elevation. The makeshift stand-in appeared at a pro-regime rally in Tehran, where organizers brought the life-size cutout of Khamenei onto the stage, according to Israeli journalist Amit Segal. Regime loyalists hailed and swore allegiance to the cutout, which appeared crudely assembled and held together by strips of tape, Segal reported.

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said President Donald Trump would try to “seize ballot boxes’ to “subvert the vote” in the midterm elections. Host Jen Psaki said, “The administration subpoenaed records from 2020 from Arizona. We know that’s not about changing the outcome of the 2020 election. We know that they’ve already gone through that. It’s obviously about 2026. What do you make of that and what’s your level of concern about it?” Schiff said, “I think the subpoenas in Arizona, America, Maricopa County, the FBI raid in Georgia, this is all trying to establish some kind of phony predicate

The Trump administration’s messaging on America’s military involvement in Iran has been, to put it lightly, a mess. And it’s clear after listening to his remarks about the conflict that Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is not helping the situation. Since the U.S.-Israeli-led operation against Tehran began, Graham has rushed to every microphone and television camera available to express his unbridled enthusiasm about the campaign. When he isn’t bragging about how much money the U.S. is going to make as a result of the conflict, he’s calling for more American intervention in countries like Cuba and Lebanon.

A top Iranian security official made a thinly veiled threat against Donald Trump’s life on Tuesday after the U.S. President warned of massive strikes against Iran if it blocked oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. ​​ "Iran doesn't fear your empty threats. Even those bigger than you couldn't eliminate Iran. Be careful not to get eliminated yourself,” Ali Larijani, the head of the Iranian National Security Council, posted on X. The threat came in response to Trump’s post on TruthSocial that if Iran doesn’t allow oil shipment to resume in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. would hit Iran “twenty times harder” than they have been hit so far.

NEW YORK - A new bill could push New York City’s minimum wage as high as $30 an hour, setting the stage for one of the highest local pay floors in the nation. What we know: The proposal would require employers to pay workers at least $25 an hour if they provide qualifying benefits and $30 an hour if they do not. Lawmakers would apply the same standards to independent contractors, including those who perform work through digital labor platforms.

Yamaha Motor Company is now the latest seismic hit to California after announcing that, after half a century, the nearly $7 billion company is leaving the deep blue state. Yamaha, which announced the move Tuesday, is not alone. Several prominent companies with longstanding ties to California have also relocated their headquarters or significant operations in recent years, often citing factors such as business climate, talent access and operational efficiency. Hours later, ExxonMobil announced plans to end its New Jersey corporate registration and redomicile in Texas, citing a better business-friendly legal environment, after years of shareholder and climate-related legal battles, according to Fox Business News.
