A Trump administration official told Breitbart News that Chinese officials have now threatened to detain Panamanian-flagged vessels in China, something that could disrupt global commerce and represents retaliation against Panama for recent developments taking control of the two ports on either end of the Panama Canal out of the hands of a Hong Kong company controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. The threat, which was relayed to the Panamanian consulate in Greece by a major Greek shipping company and reported back to the American government —

China is beginning to show its real teeth. When the chips are down, the Chicoms don't give a rat's a** for laws, agreements, protocols or free market traditions. George W Bush should have thought this over ten times before admitting them to the community of law abiding, dependable nations.

Okay, then - just don’t dock at any ports in China! Refuse to carry their plastic junk anywhere else in the world. They need us a hell of a lot more than we need them.

China is an export driven economy. Wouldn't detaining vessels carrying exports from China hurt China the most?

This could turn out badly for China. How about every Chinese ship gets detained in other countries?

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, the suspect identified in Thursday’s deadly shooting at Old Dominion University, previously pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in 2016 for attempting to provide materials to the Islamic State. The suspect killed one person and injured two others on the university’s campus, according to Old Dominion University Police Chief Garrett Shelton. FBI Director Kash Patel said the shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism. “The shooter is now deceased thanks to a group of brave students who stepped in and subdued him – actions that undoubtedly saved lives along with the quick response of law enforcement,” Patel said in a post on X.

The Trump administration’s latest move appears to continue its promise to put America first. Americans have long paid the highest drug prices in the world, while patients in Europe and Canada receive the same medicines for a fraction of the cost. The Trump administration’s TrumpRx initiative aims to correct that imbalance. Last May, President Trump issued an executive order directing pharmaceutical companies to offer Americans “most-favored-nation” pricing – or the lowest price charged in other developed countries. This order came with an ultimatum to major drug manufacturers that they would face “aggressive action” from the U.S. government should they not comply.

Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle asked Carr to explain the FCC’s “delete, delete, delete” initiative aimed at removing outdated regulations from the agency’s rulebook. “This is the biggest deregulatory effort in the FCC’s history,” Carr declared. “We’ve gone through the FCC Code of Federal Regulations, which is our rule book.

Former President Barack Obama long ago surpassed the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton as America's most influential race hustler. The country got a reminder when Obama spoke at Jackson's funeral, even though Jackson's son urged the speakers "not to bring their politics" to the service. Obama said, "Every day you wake up to things you just didn't think were possible. Each day, we're told by those in high office to fear each other, and to turn on each other. And that some Americans count more than others." Same old Obama. In his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech, he famously declared,

For decades, the United States poured billions into Lebanon, hoping to build a sovereign and stable ally in the Middle East. American aid was meant to strengthen the state, empower its army, and ensure that no weapons existed outside government control. Washington believed that with enough financial support, training, and diplomatic backing, Lebanon could become a functioning democracy and a reliable partner. By 2025, the latest version of this experiment was underway. Former army chief Joseph Aoun, widely viewed as aligned with the United States, was elected president. Nawaf Salam, a respected former judge of the International Court of Justice, became prime minister.

Iran could use drones to make a deadly strike on California at any time, a top US Army expert says — and we’re nowhere near ready for what could happen. Iranian forces have the technology, the ability and the motivation to launch withering drone attacks on targets in California, according to Brett Velicovich, a former US Army intelligence and special operations soldier who spent years using drones to hunt and kill the leaders of ISIS and other terrorist groups. Velicovich said America’s enemy is almost certainly trying to launch an attack on Californian shores with the use of drones. The FBI’s warning to local law enforcement,

The former FBI agent who ran the bureau’s warrantless spying program said this week that he personally witnessed the director and other senior officials recruiting agents based on political leanings, not qualifications, during Director James Comey’s tenure. Bassem Youssef, a retired special agent who ran the FBI’s Communications Analysis Unit from late 2004 until his retirement in late 2014, also says he warned senior officials about the potential for civil liberties abuses in the surveillance program that he oversaw, but said neither Comey nor the White House took his warnings seriously.

A Tennessee Republican congressman sparked widespread fury across social media after weighing in on last weekend’s Islamic terrorist attack in New York City, but he is not backing down one inch. As The Gateway Pundit reported, two male Islamist terrorists threw a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence on Saturday. The bomb was laced with metal and powerful explosives, according to the New York Times. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. One of the men screamed “Allahu Akbar!” while getting arrested.

It’s not just New York and California: All across the nation, blue states are committing political and economic suicide by targeting millionaires with high taxes. Who will suffer most from this ideologically driven push to punish the wealthy? Wage workers and the poor. Leftist Democratic pols demanding new state tax-the-rich measures are ignoring economic reality: Wealthy residents can and do move in response to unreasonable taxes — taking jobs, revenue and even congressional representation with them. In Washington state this week, a slim Democratic majority is on the verge of passing a 9.9% income tax on millionaires.

“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.” Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events. For two years after the Hamas pogrom of Oct. 7, 2023, keffiyeh-clad Muslim students did their best Hitler Youth impressions on American university campuses, clamoring to eliminate the State of Israel and “globalize the intifada”

Occasionally I hear credentialed professionals with prestigious titles whine about the so-called “war on expertise.” It really bothers people who see themselves as “experts” that a growing share of society ignores them. A psychologist might intuit something revealing from the lack of self-confidence plaguing our “expert” class. If all the fancy degrees, voluminous curricula vitae, and lofty career positions have failed to instill a resilient modicum of self-esteem, then perhaps all those things are not the true measures of a person’s worth. “Experts” do not like to be challenged. They say things such as, “I have a PhD in this,”

A ruthless “robbery crew” in Northern California turned a high-end Fremont jewelry store into a smash-and-grab wasteland, escaping with a staggering $1.7 million in merchandise in just over a minute. Shocking surveillance footage released recently by the U.S. Department of Justice shows the precision of the heist, which occurred on June 18, 2025 at Kumar Jewelers in Fremont. Described by authorities as a “mob-style takeover,” the video shows a fleet of vehicles screeching to a halt in front of the storefront, and a crew of nearly two dozen masked suspects in dark hoodies swarming in like a tactical unit. Armed with picks, hammers and carrying backpacks, the chaos that ensued inside

The dramatic fallout has quickly turned into a public feud, with Prejean Boller launching a blistering attack on President Donald Trump and members of the commission after her removal. According to Fox News, the decision to remove Prejean Boller was praised by multiple religious leaders and conservatives who argued that the commission’s purpose is to defend religious liberty, not serve as a platform for controversial personal activism.

An investigation by CBS News has discovered massive Medicare fraud at more than 700 out of 1,800 licensed hospice providers in Los Angeles County. The scam utilizes stolen Medicare numbers to fraudulently enroll healthy seniors in hospice with fake terminal diagnoses, billing Medicare an average of $29,000 per patient without delivering care, to the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. About 31 percent of hospice and home health companies in the U.S. are registered in L.A.

If you have followed Operation Epic Fury closely, you know why the United States has been blowing up Iran's military power, its leadership, and has allied itself with Israel to devastate the Iranian regime. Yet, according to several polls, Americans aren't sure why Trump initiated the operation, and are mostly unaware of how incredibly successful it has been. Aside from the decapitation strikes' successes, people are led to believe that Iran is doing pretty well out of the war. There were a couple of striking findings in the poll, but the one that stands out is that Americans are confused about why we are at war in the first place.
