During this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) applauded President Donald Trump for the U.S. military’s progress in what he described as “systemically” eliminating the threat Iran posed to Americans and our allies. “What does it tell you about where we are with the capabilities of Iran’s missile launching, their air defenses, the fact that they do still have some tools in their belt?” host Shannon Bream asked.McCormick replied, “Well, I think you really have to step back. Five presidents have essentially said that we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon and that Iran building up its capabilities in the region has to be checked.

A recent poll found that a clear majority of Americans favor limiting politics in the classroom. This is bad news for teachers’ unions, who often advocate against that very thing.
Consider the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). With 1.8 million members, the AFT is one of the largest teachers’ unions in the country. It has gained prominence less for advancing classroom outcomes and more for engaging in political activism far removed from instruction. This political activism has been evident recently, as illustrated by AFT president Randi Weingarten speaking at a “No Kings” protest in Minnesota and the organization’s increasing focus on anti-ICE efforts.
Donald Trump, War Criminal?

Over the last couple days, we’ve been hearing that, once the Dems take the midterms, they’ll immediately start preparations to try Donald Trump for war crimes in Iran. The loudest voice here – as is usually the case – is James Carville (actually, what he said was more like “We gone git that-theah Donal’ Trump for woah crimes roun’ heah.”), but he hasn’t been alone. Is there any truth to this? What they’re referring to, it seems, is Pres. Trump’s announcement that he intends to target infrastructure, particularly power generation and bridges,

Both President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth invoked God Monday during a White House press conference detailing the rescues of two U.S. airmen whose F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iran.
“God was watching us—amazing,” Trump said, noting that it happened around “Easter territory.”
The entire ordeal played out over Easter weekend, beginning with the traumatic shootdown of the fighter jet on Good Friday and concluding with the dramatic rescue of the second airman on Easter Sunday.
“When you go into these areas, you don’t come out like we came out. God was watching us, I tell you,” the president said.
This historic responsibility of Germany is part of my country's Staatsräson. That means, for me as German Chancellor, the security of Israel is never negotiable. And if that is the case, then these must not remain empty words in the hour of truth." — Germany's then Chancellor Angela Merkel, March 18, 2008.
"What the Israeli army is doing in the Gaza Strip, I no longer understand the goal..." —German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, May 2025.
Perhaps if German children had been beheaded or burned alive in their beds on October 7, 2023, he would have a clearer understanding of Israel's "goal" in the Gaza Strip.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is a missile on course to blow the neo-Malthusian death cult of Net Zero to smithereens. The reduction of up to 25% in the global supply of hydrocarbons is a serious dress rehearsal for the full Net Zero calamity. Hard lessons are about to be learnt across the world, particularly in already de-industrialising countries in Europe, that reliable energy is just one crucial use of hydrocarbons. Fertiliser, medicines, plastics, construction materials – it might be quicker to list products that do not rely on hydrocarbons.
Nouri al-Maliki’s potential return to the premiership would be a profound strategic error that risks plunging Iraq back into the very crisis from which it has only partially emerged. His previous tenure from 2006 to 2014 was marked by sectarianism, repression, and systemic corruption. To reinstall the 75-year-old now, at a moment of acute regional tension and domestic fragility, would be to ignore the hard lessons of Iraq’s recent history. Under the Constitution of Iraq, Iraqis do not directly elect the prime minister. Instead, they vote in parliamentary elections for members of the Council of Representatives. After the election, the largest parliamentary bloc nominates a candidate for prime minister.
Pope Leo's Flawed War Doctrine

Pope Leo XIV used part of his Palm Sunday message to castigate the United States for attempting to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power and threatening the world with mass destruction. In doing so, the "American Pope" confused the real enemy in the war. Addressing thousands in St. Peter's Square, the Pope claimed that God rejects the prayers of leaders who wage war. He called the Iran war "atrocious" violence that cannot be justified by faith. He further said that God doesn't hear the prayers of people whose "hands (are) full of blood."
California’s education budget has grown into one of the largest public spending commitments in the United States, yet the relationship between funding and student outcomes remains weak, uneven, and increasingly difficult to defend. Over the past decade, state leaders have treated higher appropriations as a substitute for structural reform. That approach has produced a system where spending expands automatically, while accountability mechanisms remain largely unchanged. California now spends roughly $150 billion annually on K–12 education, more than double its inflation-adjusted spending from the early 2000s. Per-pupil spending has climbed to approximately $18,000 statewide, placing California among the higher-spending states in the country.
Everyone but America’s Left now acknowledges reality: Iran’s theocracy is an irredeemable terrorist regime. Whatever shred of doubt remained before the current conflict has been removed over the last few weeks. Terror is what it does and why it exists. The current U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran is due solely to the theocracy’s use of terror throughout its 47-year reign.
The theocracy has maintained itself through terror at home. The theocracy has sponsored terror groups and their activities around the world. The theocracy’s desire for terror to even greater degrees spurred its own desire to develop nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to deliver them.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the very avatar of Democrat Woman.
Haughty, hectoring and pleased with herself, she is single-handedly wrecking her hen-pecked husband Gavin’s lofty political ambitions.
No wonder he’s taken to moping around and crying at press conferences.
As the California governor’s presidential aspirations head south and his state’s woes become impossible to ignore, he’s tried in vain to reset his ailing brand — and now his 51-year-old actress-turned-activist wife is taking over.Over the weekend, she inserted herself into the news again with an Instagram video pontificating that the departure of Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem from Donald Trump’s Cabinet is proof that the president is waging a “war on all women.”
A young man was killed, and another man was left in critical condition after a relentless gunman shot the pair several times on a Brooklyn street on Easter Sunday, according to harrowing surveillance footage and authorities.
Police discovered a 30-year-old man and a 50-year-old man both riddled with gunshot wounds after they responded to reports of a shooting just before 6 p.m. outside a building on Fulton Street between Cleveland and Elton Street in Cypress Hills, according to the NYPD.Both unidentified men were taken to Brookdale University Medical Center in critical condition. The 30-year-old was later pronounced dead, police said.

It is absolutely self-evident to me that space exploration is pointless, and the more urgent the crises besetting this planet we live on, the more pointless it becomes. I can see why people got excited about it in the 1960s, back when the world was young and we still thought there might be little green people out there – who wouldn’t want to meet them? Most serious opinion, however, has now settled on the “Where is everybody?” paradox first framed by the physicist Enrico Fermi in 1950. If there is intelligent life anywhere, why has it not sought to make contact? It’s because there isn’t. There’s nothing out there
One of the past decade’s most polarizing figures in American sports will publish a book, nearly 10 years to the day after the moment that dramatically changed, and prematurely ended, his NFL career. Colin Kaepernick has announced plans to publish The Perilous Fight on September 15, 2026, two weeks after the 10-year anniversary of the moment he was first spotted sitting during the national anthem before a preseason game. He’d been sitting during the anthem throughout the 2016 preseason. For the September 1 game, he was in uniform for the first time, making the gesture conspicuous and noticeable. What followed
A Haitian illegal immigrant released into the US by the Biden administration’s lax immigration policies allegedly bludgeoned a Florida mother at a gas station in a brazen daylight attack.
Rolbert Jaochin, 40, is accused of striking the 51-year-old woman multiple times, leaving her to die in the parking lot outside a Chevron gas station in Fort Myers around 7:20 a.m. Friday, according to court records viewed by The Post.
The woman was found by first responders outside the convenience store, not breathing, lying in a pool of blood around her head, according to the documents.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he agreed to suspend planned attacks on Iranian infrastructure for two weeks.
The move was “subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz,” he wrote on Truth Social.
The announcement came less than two hours before his deadline on Iran to either make a deal that includes opening the Strait of Hormuz or else face major attacks on its civilian infrastructure.
Trump wrote that he made the decision “based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan.”
Democrats and several conservative commentators demanded the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove Trump.Democrats called for the invocation of 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump after his latest threat that a "whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again". "Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness," former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted. "We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump. Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our Constitution and the Geneva Conventions," Dem Congressman Ro Khanna said,
Could Marco Rubio be the one to take down the woke and seemingly untouchable Rep. Ilhan Omar?
He seems to think that $40 million fortune of hers came from something different than wine sales from her winery.
Which is shockingly direct. Usually, they don't state things so directly.
But if it's true that Omar ran a pay-to-play refugee operation, it would surely be illegal. And who would be in a position to know this better than Rubio who runs the Department of State and all its adjacents?
With a confident tweet like that, it seems likely that he knows something. What's more, he's been after her for at least six weeks;
The U.S. government is using AI to locate and arrest migrants who are accused of being in the United States illegally. According to several reports, the Department of Homeland Security is hiring a litany of private contractors and giving them the names of thousands of migrants. The contractors are then using artificial intelligence to find the migrants. The process of using AI, public records, databases, online information and surveillance is called “skip tracing.” It’s been used by debt collectors, bail bondsmen and private investigators for years. But reports say DHS is paying private companies billions of dollars to use this process to find migrants for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
After less than three months in office, Virginians are expressing displeasure with Virginia’s Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s tenure thus far.

Iranian authorities are urging young people, students, artists, athletes, and volunteer groups to form “human chains” around power plants across the country just hours before President Donald Trump’s deadline for a deal expires, effectively gathering civilians at infrastructure sites the United States has explicitly threatened to strike.
The campaign, promoted through Iran’s Ministry of Sports and Youth, is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday local time — roughly 13 hours before Trump’s 8 p.m. Eastern deadline — and has been branded “Human Chain of Iran’s Youth for a Bright Future.”
U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins sent USDA staff an Easter email that emphasized the story of Jesus being crucified and resurrected, a message that some Christians said alienated them for its overt religiosity. “Happy Easter — He is Risen indeed,” Rollins wrote in the email sent on Good Friday, which CNBC has reviewed and was first to report.
“From the foot of the Cross on Good Friday to the stone rolled away from the now empty tomb, sin has been destroyed,” Rollins wrote.
President Trump used his Truth Social account to warn Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight” unless “something revolutionarily wonderful” happens.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump warned. “However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?”
“We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World,” the president added. “47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
