First lady Melania Trump on Thursday condemned “lies” linking her to the disgraced late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. The first lady unexpectedly issued a statement in the afternoon that was not on the official White House schedule shared with reporters. The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility, and respect,” she began. “I do not object to their ignorance, but rather, I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation. I’ve never been friends with Epstein,” she added. The first lady said she and President Donald Trump —

I like Melania BUT what difference is a hearing going to make from those that were abused by Epstein. What can Congress do. Really nothing. Personally, I'm a little tired about Epstein. These victims would probably make a huge impact if they all got together and wrote a book. As I see it, Congress can not do anything.

RE #2 - it's just to divert all the attention on how so many Democrats were very close to Epstein & Co for decades.

I think a lot of people are on notice. Shut up the slander, stop the libel. Or you will need legal representation. Expensive representation.

As long as the Biden family is financially wiped out along with the creepy writer, I am good with it. I want to see the Trump family ending up with the Virgin Islands island that the Biden brothers own. What has Hunter Biden or his uncle and dad ever done to earn any money at all, much less, enough to buy their own island?

Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show that Cassandra Driscoll, wife of Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, donated the maximum allowable $6,600 to Democrat Rep. Maggie Goodlander (NH-02) during the 2024 campaign cycle. Goodlander is a member of the so-called Seditious Six, a group of Democratic lawmakers who released a video in November 2025 publicly urging U.S. military personnel to refuse what they described as unlawful or unconstitutional orders from the Trump administration. Goodlander is also the wife of Jake Sullivan, a top Biden national security operative and former National Security Advisor who has been critical of the Department of War and the Trump administration.

Sometimes, it's a good thing when a newsflash turns out to be unsurprising or a situation unfolds about how people expected things to. That was the case on Friday morning with the release of March's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, from economic data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.At first, the blaring headline was the fact that soaring energy prices (10.9 percent) made up most of the bump in March (to 3.3 percent over the past year), and up 0.9 percent from February's number.

Latin America remains one of the most Christian regions on earth. More than 620 million people in Latin America identified as Christian in 2025. For decades, ordinary families across South America battled volatile economies, hyperinflation, and brutal drug wars. You have likely watched these nations struggle to secure basic needs while their governments chased conflicting priorities. Cartel violence in places like Colombia and staggering debt crises in Argentina created cycles of deep despair.Now, these communities are finally witnessing their countries embrace booming oil and gas economic growth. Open minds and proactive policies rooted in energy realism are driving this change.

Embattled Rep. Eric Swalwell on Friday night issued a full-throated denial of sexual misconduct and rape allegations leveled against him, calling them “absolutely false” while issuing an apology to his wife. “These allegations of sexual assault are flat false,” the Democratic candidate for California governor said in a more than minute-long video on social media. “They are absolutely false. They did not happen. They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything I have.” Swalwell was forced to swat down scathing allegations of sexual misconduct brought by four women this week — including a former staffer who claims he raped her in 2024.

When Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed under American and Israeli bombardment last month, a few dozen activists gathered in New York to mourn him. Cameras outnumbered candles — yet the moment generated nearly 19 million views on X and led broadcasts on CBS, ABC and Fox News. The gap between who showed up and who was watching is the whole story. It was far from organic; it was engineered. The Network Contagion Research Institute spent months mapping the pipeline behind moments like this. At its center is Press TV, an Iranian state broadcaster under US Treasury sanctions.

First lady Melania Trump on Thursday called on Congress to hold a public hearing allowing survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes to testify before lawmakers, emphasizing that the disgraced financier did not act alone. In a rare public statement delivered at the White House, Trump said “I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing specifically centered around the survivors, give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony,” she said. “Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes.”

U.S. Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said Thursday the United States has achieved its core military objectives under Operation Epic Fury, declaring Iran “has suffered a generational military defeat” after its more than four-decade military buildup was systematically destroyed in under 40 days. Providing an update as a fragile ceasefire takes hold, Cooper said U.S. forces dismantled the Iranian regime’s ability to project power beyond its borders, adding, “We set out to dismantle” that capability “and we clearly accomplished this task.”

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is authorizing the death penalty to be used against two MS-13 gang members who are accused of murdering a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) informant. Last year, MS-13 gang members Dennis Anaya Urias, Grevil Zelaya Santiago, and Roberto Carlos Aguilar were charged in federal indictments of having murdered 47-year-old Herlyn Barrientos, an MS-13 gang member turned FBI informant, at the behest of the gang’s local clique leadership. Aguilar is an illegal alien from El Salvador. At the time of the murder, Santiago had a pending visa application, while Urias held a green card.

federal judge ruled Thursday that the Pentagon cannot impose its new press restrictions, which he claimed was an effort to negate his previous order. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman last month dismissed parts of the Pentagon's guidelines released last year and ordered it to restore the press passes of seven journalists for the New York Times. The War Department then changed its protocols late last month for its media briefing room, which includes the relocation of reporters to workspace outside the Pentagon. It also closed the correspondents' corridor within the Pentagon.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated Monday that the Trump administration is considering withdrawing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers from international airports located in sanctuary cities. In an interview with Fox News, Mullin said he would “take a hard look” at this measure to punish cities that ban cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, arguing that such municipalities are not lawful and should not receive federal benefits like customs processing while refusing to enforce immigration laws. “I believe sanctuary cities are not lawful. Some of these cities have international airports,” Mullin told Fox host Bret Baier.

Hunter Biden has reportedly fled the US and is $17 million in debt. Why doesn’t Hunter Biden just sell a few pieces of his highly coveted art? Don’t each one of Hunter Biden’s art pieces cost more than a Degas? It is unclear where Hunter Biden is currently residing; however, last March, he was spotted out and about with his wife in South Africa. Hunter’s wife, Melissa Cohen, is from South Africa. Last year, Laura Loomer obtained photos of Hunter Biden, his second wife, Melissa Cohen, and their toddler son, Beau, on a lavish vacation in Cape Town, South Africa, with US Secret Service agents in tow.

On Colorado highways, it’s now illegal

In Colorado, the highest posted speed limit is 75 mph. I can live with that, even though I think 85 mph might be better and perhaps just as safe. This speed limit of 75 means that it’s against the law to go faster than that. Trust me on this, I used to be a lawyer. But now, Colorado has announced that if you go the 75-mph speed limit in the left lane, or even if you violate the speed limit by going 85 mph, and people stack up behind you who want to go 95, then you’re violating the law by impeding traffic. And you’ll be ticketed for it.

In reports picked up by left-leaning outlets such as the Daily Beast and New Republic, Vatican-oriented freelance journalist Christopher Hale has tweeted that President Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, has met in a private audience with Pope Leo XIV. Axelrod, really? What kind of message does that send? The pope has declined an offer to visit the U.S. for its 250th anniversary in favor of a trip to visit the illegal migrants on Lampedusa (which might bring him an unexpected round of protests from angry locals sick of being robbed and raped by them) on the grounds that he doesn't want any trip to be political.

The Artemis II astronauts safely splashed down off the coast of San Diego at 5:07 p.m. Friday after a historic 10-day mission around the moon, finally letting the crew and NASA officials breathe a sigh of relief. NASA regarded the high-energy reentry — streaking through the atmosphere in a nearly 5,000-degree-Fahrenheit fireball at more than 30 times the speed of sound — as one of the riskiest moments of the mission. Space agency officials’ blood pressure was further elevated as experts closely watched the performance of the craft’s heat shield — which astronauts rely on to slow them down and keep temperatures livable.

President Donald Trump slammed Iran Thursday night for doing a "very poor job," of letting oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. The United States and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday that was contingent on Iran reopening the Strait, which is a critical waterway where about 20% of the world's oil passed through before the conflict broke out in February. "Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz," Trump posted on Truth Social. "That is not the agreement we have!"
