While the globalist media clutches its pearls and screams that NATO is “hollowed out,” President Donald J. Trump is once again being proven 100% right. The latest Iran fiasco has ripped the mask off Europe’s so-called “allies.” France, Germany, and the UK just refused to back America in a real crisis, treating NATO like some kind of optional social club instead of the mutual defense pact it’s supposed to be. French President Macron, UK’s Keir Starmer, and Germany’s Friedrich Merz openly declared the crisis “Not Our War!” They blocked logistics support, refused to let NATO become Washington’s “auxiliary force,”

Europe is perfectly comfortable sitting on the sidelines watching the Us do all the heavy lifting. The party is over. Heads up France, Germany may try a third time if we pull out of NATO.

Good article and while we are at it, cut our aid to the UN to no more than any other country. If they don't like it, they can move to, say, Somalia. There won't be any fine restaurants or Broadway shows to visit on their country's dime but aren't they supposed to be selfless workers for world peace. The current building might make a nice, more useful office building.

Nowhere in the NATO charter can the words ONE WAY be found yet that's how the Euroweenies have treated it, some even by not paying their dues and expecting military assistance by the United States every time they had a problem. There will be no more American soldiers in your cemeteries so you might as well shut them down now. Families of Americans who died in both world wars should demand that their ancestors be returned home. We are done with you. Good luck with your new neighbors. When the hostille takeover begins, don't call us.

It's not 1949 anymore. There is no more Soviet Union. Russia is not the threat others (including some here) make it out to be 'cause otherwise, Putin would have all of Ukraine under his control. There was no EU when NATO was established so I say: Adios Muchachos.

Start closing US military bases in Europe. First, it will scare the poop out of Europe, but there will be a huge economic blow to them as well. Their leaders will be flying to the White House begging Trump for forgiveness. I hope he demands a heavy price for their betrayal of the USA.

The delusional and clueless elites of the Euro world have always had an easy path in lording over other countries until a classless colonial named Donald Trump began eating their lunch. They are faced with a choice now, bow to The King or die in the mess they have created.

Is Los Angeles waking up? According to the California Post, there's been a change in the polling pattern for the Los Angeles mayor's race, which in a crowded field suddenly shows a conservative in second place, with most voters still undecided. The primary is in June and a runoff will be held in November if no candidate manages to break 50% of the vote. The Post reports: Reality TV star Spencer Pratt is becoming a real player in Los Angeles politics, rocketing into second place in the latest mayor’s race poll and scrambling what was already shaping up to be a volatile election.

The Supreme Court of the United States recently heard arguments on the future of birthright citizenship, a moment that forces the country to revisit a question that is both constitutional and deeply personal: What does it mean to be an American citizen? Before parsing the language of the Fourteenth Amendment or debating the meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” we have to return to first principles. Citizenship is not simply a matter of where someone happens to be born. American citizenship has always been more than a geographic accident. It is a covenant between the individual and a constitutional framework built on the rule of law, individual liberty,

On Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a statement on X, which revealed that the niece and grand-niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani have been arrested in Los Angeles. Rubio also announced that he has revoked their green cards. Here is the full statement: Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States.

Iran war has a ‘second front’ —
and Tehran has already lost it

A few days ago, according to a leaked exchange, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told an Iranian military counterpart that their nation’s economy will face collapse in three more weeks without an immediate cease-fire. He’s not wrong. Conventional wisdom holds that an air campaign alone cannot trigger a popular uprising, so the combined US-Israel effort in Operation Epic Fury won’t result in meaningful regime change. But that fails to recognize there’s a second front in this conflict: economic warfare. And on that front, Iran has already lost. President Trump’s goal in his first term was to resolve the Iran issue through primarily economic means.

Even the Reds are seeing red. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has succeeded in at least one thing during his fresh-faced administration — infuriating everyone, including his typically ride-or-die lefty buds, over his bald-faced lie that the City Council’s budget plan cuts services. Peeved City Council members roundly ripped Mamdani after he used one of his slick social-media videos Wednesday to call out Speaker Julie Menin by name and wrongly portray her budget proposal — an alternative to his doomsday version — as slashing billions of dollars from city agencies.

I'm so disappointed in NATO, because this was a test for NATO," said President Trump on March 26 while speaking about the Iran war. While President Trump has long criticized the UN and NATO, there is a major difference between the tremendous failings of the two organizations. A quick review of their structures shows that while the U.N. is probably impossible to course-correct, NATO is a very different story. The U.N. is bloated, paralyzed, and utterly incapable of meeting the challenges of the world today.

President Trump has said he is strongly considering pulling out of Nato, prompting Keir Starmer to announce a fresh move towards closer ties with Europe and the unwinding of Brexit. The Mail has more. Keir Starmer signalled a fresh push to unwind Brexit today as Donald Trump ramped up his abuse of Britain. The President said the UK “doesn’t even have a navy” as he accused Keir Starmer of only caring about building “windmills”. He also dismissed Nato as a “paper tiger” and said America leaving the military alliance was now “beyond reconsideration”.

Virginia Democrats’ proposed redraw of the state’s House map would effectively strip the state’s rural communities of federal representation, a conservative group argues in a new study. The lopsided gerrymander backed by Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger and former President Barack Obama would most likely change Virginia’s House makeup from six Democrats and five Republicans to 10 Democrats and just one Republican — if a majority of the state’s voters back it on April 21. In a policy brief first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, Defend Forgotten America (DFA) calls the plan a “structural demolition of rural representation,”

That means there are easily a few million 3D printers in private hands. While many of those devices will never make a firearm, many others do.And in most parts of the country, it's perfectly legal to do so for private use.

The airman was one of two aboard an F-15E Strike Eagle shot down earlier this week. Both had ejected over southwestern Iran, triggering a high-risk rescue mission. The second crew member was recovered following intense fighting near the crash site, as US forces carried out a complex operation deep inside Iranian territory, according to Fox News.

President Trump’s fiscal year 2027 budget request, released on Friday, asks Congress to spend $152 million to reopen Alcatraz as a “state-of-the-art secure prison facility.” The President has long embraced tough lock-up conditions for violent criminals “as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.” Last May, President Trump called the Bureau of Prisons to reopen the original Alcatraz off the coast of San Francisco to house the “dregs of society.” He said in a Truth Social Post, “We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals,

The decision is the latest blow to President Donald Trump's efforts to broker an agreement to end the war, which began nearly five weeks ago. Trump stated this week that Iran had asked for a ceasefire, though he may have referenced a public comment from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressing openness to a ceasefire in exchange for security guarantees.

The daughter of a powerful Iranian regime insider who was forced out of Emory University after a firestorm of backlash is set to be booted from the United States completely. Dr. Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, whose father is a top official in Tehran, was removed from her post at the prestigious Atlanta school following mounting outrage over her family’s ties to the regime, as first reported by The Post. She worked as an assistant professor at Emory University’s prestigious Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta. The controversy surrounding Ardeshir-Larijani sparked backlash from critics who questioned how someone so closely linked to Iran’s ruling elite had secured a position at a leading American research institution.

The New York Times set out Friday to embarrass President Donald Trump over his hardline stance on NATO. It wound up spectacularly backfiring on them. Several NATO nations have declined to join a U.S.-Israel military operation targeting Iran. Alliance members also refused Trump's requests to deploy their forces to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, much to the chagrin of President Trump, who figures that if NATO allies won’t help the United States, then the alliance has become meaningless. So the paper ran a piece criticizing Trump's threats to withdraw from the alliance, and the print edition’s headline asked a pointed question: "A North American Treaty Organization Without America?"

Trump has repeatedly threatened to strike Iran’s power grid if Tehran fails to comply with US demands. On Saturday, a senior Israeli defense official said Israel was preparing to attack Iranian energy facilities, likely within the next week, but was awaiting a green light from the US.

Well, here's another; it turns out that building a huge solar panel farm in tornado country, sooner or later, is going to produce perfectly predictable results. Case in point: A billion-dollar solar farm in Indiana has been wrecked by an EF-1 tornado - not a big one, as tornadoes go, but big enough. An article from the German climate science critical Report24 reports on a major disaster involving a solar farm in Indiana that was destroyed by a tornado, underlying the fragility of PV systems as a source of energy.
