Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized and is in critical but stable condition, according to a statement posted Sunday on X. Ted Goodman, a political strategist who launched a livestream program with Giuliani, posted about the hospitalization on Sunday evening. "Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition," Goodman wrote. "Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he's fighting with that same level of strength as we speak.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday rejected Iran’s latest proposal to end its war with the US and Israel, calling it unacceptable.
The 14-point proposal reportedly includes multiple stages of negotiations, with the sides first bringing the fighting to a close and opening the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days. The US and Iran would only later begin talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, according to reports on the Iranian terms. The offer also reportedly floats an up to 15-year freeze on nuclear enrichment, followed by curbs on the program.

The first drones intended to stop school shootings from Campus Guardian Angel are set to go live Friday at Deltona High School.
Florida’s legislature has appropriated $557,000 to have drones in the Broward, Leon, and Volusia school districts, with Deltona High School being the first.
Georgia has also appropriated $550,000 for drones in five of their high schools, yet to be decided by the State’s Department of Education.
“Georgia went from first conversations to funding a pilot through the legislature in maybe 120 days,” CEO and co-founder of Campus Guardian Angel Justin Marston told The Center Square, which is lightning speed for Congress.
Many other states are interested in piloting these drones.
A search and rescue operation is underway in southern Morocco after two U.S. service members were reported missing off the southern coast of the North African nation during annual training exercises.
A defense official told CBS News that the soldiers were last seen near ocean cliffs near the Cap Draa Training Area. Initial reports indicate they may have fallen into the ocean, the official said. No foul play is suspected, sources told CBS News. Defense officials confirmed to CBS News both missing service members were U.S. Army soldiers. The names of the soldiers and further details have not yet been released

Liberal icon, former Rep. Barney Frank, who is dying of congestive heart failure, spoke out from hospice to deliver a stark warning to Democrats for swinging too far to the left on social issues — and said it will cost them with voters.
The 86-year-old former congressman, who is famous for fighting to legalize same-sex marriage and pushing to regulate Wall Street after the 2008 financial meltdown, hopes his lefty bona fides will help his message resonate with the far left. “It’s precisely because I have been on the left that I have undertaken this,” Frank told CNN’s “State of the Union”
Jim Hoft, the founder and publisher of the Gateway Pundit, is currently in the hospital awaiting a much-needed surgery on his heart. Like Jim, his beloved twin brother, Joe Hoft, is a fearless patriot who loves America and fights every day to expose the truth behind the mainstream media’s lies. Joe is an international auditor, conservative talk show host, and founder of his own conservative news site, JoeHoft.com, and continues to be a contributor at the Gateway Pundit. Last night, while making flight reservations from Florida to visit his twin brother Jim before his scheduled heart surgery this week, Joe Hoft suddenly began feeling lightheaded. He lay down,

California’s emergency telephone service has become another victim of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s dismal leadership.
After seven years and nearly $500 million spent, California’s 911 emergency system overhaul is a failure, as Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, reported.
“During his first year in office, the governor confidently projected that he would replace the state’s emergency call system within three years, a goal that officials previously estimated would cost $132 million. But nearly seven years later, the state has spent more than $450 million on a regionalized ‘Next Generation’ digital system that suffered such appalling failures

Approximately 200 firefighters and multiple units rushed to the scene to quell the blaze and St. Petersburg Fire District Chief Michael Lewis told the outlet on Saturday crews would monitor the scene overnight.

Erika Kirk slammed attendees at the White House correspondents’ dinner who inspired the shooter’s hate but had intended to enjoy a luxury dinner with Donald Trump undisturbed, calling it the “ultimate hypocrisy” to “manufacture the hate and then profit off the results.” The crazies were “willing to have dinner with ‘Hitler’” if it meant free champagne.

What would be unpardonable is if US President Donald J. Trump simply replaced a brutal Islamic dictatorship with an equally brutal non-Islamic dictatorship -- as seen in other adversaries of the West such as Russia, China, and North Korea.
At the height of the violence in mid-January, Trump memorably told the Iranian protesters that "HELP IS ON ITS WAY", while calling on the anti-regime activists to "seize control of your destiny."
Iran is still drawing out negotiations as it reconstructs its nuclear and missile sites.
Meanwhile, concerns are growing that Trump is losing interest in the plight of ordinary Iranians. He has recently been stating that he no longer regards regime—
MILAN, Italy — While President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni may have been somewhat feuding over Trump’s criticisms of Pope Leo XIV and NATO during the Iran war, there remains deep ties between the movements that elected both of the leaders in their respective countries. Matteo Salvini, the Deputy Prime Minister of Italy and leader of the Lega or League political party that rounds out the coalition that put Meloni in as Prime Minister, held a huge rally a couple weeks ago in Duomo Square here in Milan alongside other major European conservatives like Jordan Bardella from France and Geert Wilders from the Netherlands.
A senior Iranian military official warned Saturday that a “renewed conflict” with the United States is “likely” after President Donald Trump said he is “not satisfied” with Tehran’s latest proposal and signaled military options remain on the table, saying he “can’t imagine” the offer would be acceptable given Iran has “not yet paid a big enough price” for its actions over the past 47 years. Speaking to reporters before departing West Palm Beach, Florida, President Trump said he would review the proposal after being briefed only on the “concept of the deal,” noting, “They’re going to give me the exact wording now…
In 1994, Democrats tried to undermine pro-life Republicans by passing the original FACE Act. In the beginning, the law was intended to protect those who visited medical facilities from intimidation, harassment, violence, threats of force, and other illegal actions. Over the years, the Democrats have watered down and abused the law, applying it primarily to pro-life demonstrators and rarely, if ever, to pro-abortion demonstrators.
In April, a report was issued by the Weaponization Working Group, which confirmed that the FACE Act had been used to weaponize the Justice Department against pro-life groups:

Does Islam Work?

Is Islam good for you? Is it actually beneficial for individuals and societies?
These questions have seldom, if ever, been asked. Most people in America today, having been the unwitting victims of a quarter-century of propaganda, assume that Islam, like all other religions, is peaceful and benign, beneficial to both individuals and societies, albeit “hijacked” at the hands of a “tiny minority of extremists,” the likes of which we see in all religious traditions.
Yet the constant drumbeat continues: there are jihad attacks around the world virtually every day, and increasingly in the United States. All of their perpetrators insist they acted in accord with Islamic teachings. There is a distressingly

My colleague Ward Clark reported earlier on Saturday on how Spirit Airlines had finally gone under, after being in financial trouble for years.
But as his story noted, one of the big things that may have contributed to their demise was that the Biden administration moved to block a merger with JetBlue that might have helped both companies: As Ward also wrote, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was the brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who celebrated the blocking of the merger in 2024 as a "Biden win for flyers."

President Trump unleashed a fiery but mostly peaceful attack on Democrats Sunday evening, branding them “human garbage” for their latest desperate scheme to meddle in the upcoming midterms.
Trump, in a post on his Truth Social media platform, tore into Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Barack Obama’s former Attorney General Eric Holder after the latter was added to a highly partisan, deceptively named “voter integrity” task force.
Holder, of course, has been a driving force behind the Democrat party's obsession with rigging the electoral map through his and Obama's “Redistricting U.” operation since 2016.

Some of the most infamous killers in history, including John Lennon assassin Mark David Chapman and “Son of Sam” serial murderer David Berkowitz, could soon be freed if Albany passes a pair of woke parole bills, critics warn.
The Elder Parole bill would let violent criminals dodge their minimum sentences, regardless of how heinous their crimes, and be granted early parole hearings after they’ve turned 55 and served 15 years of their sentences.
A second lefty measure, the Fair and Timely Parole bill, would require the state parole board to release convicts regardless of the severity of their crimes unless they are a “current” danger to the public
The Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) faction of the Los Angeles City Council is offering up another middle finger to the citizenry of Los Angeles, led by Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez (CD-13), who is proposing a plan to let illegal aliens vote in city elections. We have lost the plot in this nation on what it means to be a citizen and what rights and privileges are entailed. For decades, Los Angeles has had its own cottage industries built around catering to illegals, while creating burden on top of burden for the actual citizens of the city, especially their small businesses.
Suspected Somali pirates hijacked a fuel tanker off the northeastern coast of Somalia, according to a local official and the British military.
The vessel was seized on Wednesday in waters between the coastal towns of Hafun and Bandarbeyla in the semi-autonomous state of Puntland along the Indian Ocean.
The tanker had departed from the port of Berbera and was heading to the Somali capital of Mogadishu when it was intercepted, a colonel with the Puntland Maritime Police Force told The Associated Press. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to a journalist.
That official said six armed men from the Bandarbeyla district carried out the hijacking.

The MSM, radical left Democrats, and progressives like Hillary Clinton, spout that we are experiencing an 'existential threat to democracy.' For example, Dr. Steven Levitsky and Lucan A. Way wrote, "U.S. democracy will likely break down during the Second Trump administration in the sense that it will cease to meet standard criteria for a liberal democracy -- full adult suffrage, free and fair elections, and broad protection of civil liberties."
Hillary says, "Our democracy is in crisis..." Her claim sounds ominous, worthy of further investigation.

Democrat billionaire Tom Steyer is drawing fire after appearing at a May Day rally in East San Jose alongside a well-known labor leader, where he was labeled a “class traitor,” and embraced for it.
Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, president of the California Federation of Labor, highlighted the moment on X, writing: “When @TomSteyer shows up to your ‘Workers Over Billionaires’ May Day Rally in East San Jose, you ask him to wear the shirt. And he does! #ClassTraitor.”
The optics of a billionaire donning anti-billionaire messaging quickly ignited criticism online, with detractors blasting both Steyer and organized labor for what they see as political opportunism.

In a 2023 video, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was seen bragging about how the Department of Transportation (DOT) was getting involved in opposing a merger between Spirit Airlines and JetBlue Airlines.
In a video from an interview in 2023 with CNN, posted to X, Buttigieg expressed that it was “important to make sure that passengers have choices” and that they “have access to low fares.”
“Our department, the Department of Transportation has generally not gotten involved in these merger cases, but that’s changing today,” Buttigieg said at the time. “It is so important to make sure that passengers have choices,
This week the Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, ended decades of race-engineering in the drawing of congressional districts. The opinion is likely to not only benefit Republicans by increasing their representation in Congress, it also should end racial engineering in a multitude of local institutions, all to everyone’s benefit. It signals the beginning of the end for progressive governance, begun by President Woodrow Wilson (ironically a segregationist) whose vision conflicts with the Constitution.
Thirty-one years ago, Justice Clarence Thomas argued that racial gerrymandering -- defended as a means for ensuring proportional electoral results according to race -- should not continue.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is receiving backlash from GOP lawmakers for pushing former President Biden's Justice Department to block the merger of JetBlue and Spirit Airlines.
“The 14,000 employees at Spirit who’ve lost their job loss, the travelers who will now pay higher fares, and the shareholders and debt holders who have been wiped out can thank Elizabeth Warren,” Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) wrote on X on Saturday. “Electing left politicians, who have ZERO business experience, has consequences.”

ormer top official in the Biden administration is questioning the decision by his Department of Justice to stop the Jet Blue and Spirit Airlines merger after Spirit announced its closure on Saturday.

new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that several major U.S. weapon systems are becoming significantly more expensive to operate and maintain, with some programs seeing steep cost increases and missed opportunities for savings.
In the report, the GAO found the department identified 14 weapon systems with what it classifies as “critical” operating and support cost growth out of 36 systems reviewed in fiscal years 2023 and 2024. The report defines the critical threshold as “at least a 25% increase” over recent estimates or “at least a 50% increase” over original baselines.

Sometimes you have to wonder what the point of fighting the decline of Western Civilization is.
It seems inevitable, and enough people seem to tolerate it that it's easy to think about giving up, moving someplace where the deterioration will take longer or be avoided by a large enough concentration of people who share our values, so sanity will prevail.
