For most of my life, Westerners have been harangued by feminists over our having a "rape culture."
It's always annoyed me a bit because, while rapes obviously do happen, my own experience is that rape is considered one of the most heinous crimes, comparable with murder. Most people I know would happily applaud a father who killed his daughter's rapist. But when confronted with an actual "rape culture," liberals bend over backwards to excuse the rapists, hide the crimes, and embrace the culture that quite openly treats its own (and our) women like cattle.

House Republicans moved Friday to further extend the six-week shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, snubbing a bipartisan Senate bill that would fund the vast majority of DHS agencies through September and moving ahead with a plan of their own that stands little chance of becoming law.
All Republicans and three Democrats — moderate Reps. Don Davis of North Carolina, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Henry Cuellar of Texas — voted in favor of a temporary extension of all DHS funding through May 22, including immigration enforcement. The gavel came down on the 213-203 vote just before midnight Saturday morning,

VAUX-DE-CERNAY, France — Top diplomats from the Group of Seven countries showed divisions with the United States over the Iran war but agreed Friday during a meeting in France to call for an immediate halt to attacks against civilians and urge the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined his G7 counterparts a day after President Donald Trump lobbed his latest round of insults at other NATO countries, making it even more difficult for America’s top diplomat to try to sell the U.S. strategy for the Iran conflict to close allies.

President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order directing federal officials to ensure Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees receive pay during the ongoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown.
Calling the situation an "emergency," Trump warned that mounting disruptions at airports have pushed the system to a breaking point.
"As the Democrat-caused shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security continues well into its sixth week, America’s air travel system has reached its breaking point," Trump wrote. "This is an unprecedented emergency situation."

After two months of unyielding negotiations, both parties gave up early Friday on reaching a grand accord to reform and fund the Department of Homeland Security.
Instead, Senate Republicans accepted what Democrats have been offering for weeks — cash for all of DHS except for ICE and part of Customs and Border Protection. The Senate approved the funding package by a voice vote and is now expected to begin a scheduled two-week recess. The House could vote as soon as Friday, before the shutdown would break the record Saturday night for the longest funding lapse of any federal agency in U.S. history.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the outcome “unfortunate” Friday.

Remember how Iran denied that any discussions were going on with the United States after President Donald Trump revealed they were happening?
Some in the liberal media and among the Democrats immediately lined up, saying they believed Iran, despite Iran's history of lying and terrorism. Oh, and you know, killing Americans. But even while the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied talks, he confirmed them, as we reported.
There are no talks with the U.S., which is sending messages through different mediators. The exchange of messages via mediators does not mean negotiation with the U.S.

Has Donald Trump launched an "illegal" war? Do Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion violate "international law"?
Democrats in the US, along with their allies in the media, seem particularly invested in law-based arguments. For the past three-plus weeks, Trump's critics have alleged that he violated the War Powers Act by initiating hostilities without approval from Congress, which is not at all true. Opponents insist that "imminence" is the standard for addressing threats to the US and its interests, but that standard does not exist in law or practice. Finally, everyone who wants to apply "international law" to Trump

The Mexican Navy announced on Thursday that it has begun a search-and-rescue mission in the Caribbean Sea for two sailboats carrying "humanitarian aid" to Cuba.
Reuters describes the vessels as "sailboats" and says they left Isla Mujeres, in the Mexican Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, last week. They did not arrive in Havana as scheduled on Tuesday or Wednesday. The journey is about 300 to 350 miles, depending on the route. Combined, the two boats had nine people on board, including eight adults and a four-year-old child. Reuters also reports that they were a part of the "Nuestra America Convoy."

The International Olympic Committee is barring male athletes from competing against women at the Olympics, beginning with the 2028 summer games set to take place in Los Angeles.
IOC president Kirsty Coventry, a decorated former Olympic swimmer from Zimbabwe, announced the ban Thursday after promising to protect the integrity of women’s sports leading up to her election.
“The policy that we have announced is based on science and it has been led by medical experts with the best interest of athletes at its heart. The scientific evidence is very clear: male chromosomes give performance advantages in sports that rely on strength, power, or endurance,” Coventry said in a video.

That Democrats want to protect criminal illegal immigrants from deportation is not exactly breaking news, considering their hysterical reactions and theatrics to the mass deportations that occurred in 2025 and into 2026 as a result of President Donald Trump's crackdown on people who were here illegally.
But to hear them so brazenly admit that it's at the core of their refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) amid the terrorist attacks and threats against the homeland, as well as the long airport lines and TSA workers not getting paid, just adds a whole new layer of despicable to it.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier did a great interview with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lana Nusseibeh, where she made the case to do all that could be done to stop Iran.
"Iran's attack on Gulf allies of the United States and Jordan is an attack on the entire world and the world economy," she said. Trying to put a chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz is a threat to the world economy, Nusseibeh asserted. "Effectively, Iran is trying to give the global economy a heart attack," she said. "We should not allow Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism,

On Tuesday, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that dramatically expands the federal government’s authority to detain migrants without bond, holding that even those arrested inside the United States — far from any port of entry — can be subject to mandatory detention. In Herrera Avila v. Bondi, the court adopted a broad interpretation of federal immigration law that effectively erases the long-assumed distinction between migrants stopped at the border and those living in the interior.
Joaquin Herrera Avila entered the United States illegally in 2006 and again in 2016. He was arrested during a 2025 traffic stop and placed in removal proceedings
