President Trump on Sunday appeared to reject Iran’s latest proposal in ongoing negotiations over a peace deal, calling the Islamic republic’s offer “totally unacceptable.” “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The president also warned the country against “playing games” after Tehran refused to discuss its nuclear program in its latest response to America’s peace proposal through Pakistani mediators. Trump slammed the rogue Mideast country for delaying negotiations historically, ranting on the social platform.

As long as the fanatic idealogue Islamic mullets and the IRGC Thugs are in charge in Iran, NOTHING will change. Inflicting economic disaster on Iran will not matter. These absolutists do not care one bit about what happens to the Iranian people. The radical Islamists and the Thugs need to be removed from power, then MAYBE there will be someone reasonable who will make an agreement.... but still, as Witkoff said: "Don't trust. Verify."

It's time for Trump to follow thru on his threats. The Irananians have no intention of stopping their quest for nuclear weapons to act on their own threats of "death to America" It's them or us time, time to wipe them out, get it over with because no one else ever will have the guts to do what needs to be done, Trump says he has the guts, so do it!

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LASTING PEACE AGREEMENT WITH IRAN! The only way to achieve peace with the Persians is to ELIMINATE each and every person involved with this Iranian government! Then and ONLY THEN, can Peace be restored in the middle East and the rest of the world! To allow one's ego to think otherwise is ASININE! America needs to quit chasing it's tail and actually help the people of Iran!

This has been going on too long. Let's bring this to a close and shut down these animals. 1. As everyone on this comment page is saying, take down the rest of the leadership. 2. Destroy the remaining infrastructure to rubble. 3. Destroy what remains of the IRGC. 4. Arm the people of Iran that wants change and removal of this regime.

Saying the leadership does not care about the Iranian people is wrong IMO. They are the Iranian people. The whole country is one big insane asylum. Trump was wrongheadedly trying to save the infrastructure giving the people something to build with when the mullahs were gone, the problem is there is no one left that isn't with the Mullahs. Put out the lights and leave them in the dark the less they have the longer it will take them to cause more trouble, without boots on the ground there will be no regime change, and the whole damned lunatic asylum is not worth one American life.

You cannot get a promise worth anything from an addict. All they care about is their next hit. These guys are addicted to their power, and by taking away their cash you are affecting their future. Their nuclear weapons collection is their hidden stash. They might tell you they flushed it, but without a drug dog to verify it, you better not believe them.

Any rational observer will tell you that it is more in Iran's interest to make a quick deal than the US. But we are not dealing with rational individuals. A second factor is that they, especially the IRGC, could be overly relying on the outcome of the November US elections. Really believing the NYT/WaPo, CNN/NBC propaganda.. All the concerns expressed by posters are valid and I am sure have gone through the President's mind. Experience of the last ten years tells me ha has something up his sleeve that will be shown at the right moment.

#8 I agree with your points except "This has been going on too long." How can you say that when this has been the shortest war ever? My family went to Vietnam. Did we say after 2 months, "this has been going on too long?" No. Think of the morale of the troops, the military. They need US back home praying and supporting them, not nit picking.

The Trump Administration has been leveling sanctions against an array of Chinese companies profiting off of illicit Iranian oil sales and propping up the Iranian military ahead of a high-stakes meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing this week.

The Treasury Department announced sanctions Monday against 12 individuals and entities it has accused of enabling Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' sale and shipment of oil to the People’s Republic of China. The sanctions are part of the Trump administration's Economic Fury operation, which is part of its maximum pressure campaign against Iran. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control said the IRGC uses the revenue it generates from shipping and selling oil to China, along with other permissive economic jurisdictions, to fund the Iranian regime. “As Iran’s military desperately tries to regroup, Economic Fury will continue to deprive the regime of funding for its weapons programs, terrorist proxies,

I’m speaking on the 71st day of the Iran war, but of course, it hasn’t been 71 days. The last real date of bombing, intense bombing—not a tit-for-tat here and there, but the actual day of kinetic activity—was April 8, the actual last day. So, we’ve had about 31 days of negotiation. The actual war was only 40 days long so far. So, all the anti-war opposition was about something that happened over a month ago. So, what’s going on in these negotiations?

President Donald Trump’s approval rating continues to climb among Republican voters in Wisconsin, even as support for the Republican Party overall has slightly declined, according to a new League of American Workers poll. The survey also suggests that Trump‑endorsed candidates are well-positioned to secure their party’s nominations in key Wisconsin races. According to the poll, Trump’s job approval rating among Badger State Republican voters has risen 5 percentage points since March, while approval of the Republican Party has fallen 1 point. Favorability toward the U.S. war in Iran has also increased by at least 8 points.

Gagic told me he acted as a whistleblower, exposing systemic corruption, prosecutorial misconduct, judicial bias and political retaliation. The situation arose while Gagic was defending his former client, Jamaal Pennington, a young black man who Gagic became convinced was wrongly accused of sex trafficking and pimping. Gagic told me he uncovered and documented massive misconduct by the prosecution. When Pennington’s accuser, the key witness against him, recanted her story and said she had identified the wrong man,

Five words: Power unused is power surrendered. That’s the reality Senate Republicans now face. With a narrow majority and a nation increasingly concerned about election integrity, Republicans face a choice: act decisively or allow procedural relics to dictate policy outcomes. At the heart of this dilemma is the filibuster — not a constitutional safeguard, not a sacred institution, but a Senate rule that has evolved into a minority veto. And in its current form, it’s not even honest. Today’s filibuster is a shadow of its former self. Senators no longer need to stand on the floor, speak for hours, or defend their obstruction before the American people.

New revelations emerging from Israeli security investigations have shattered any illusion that Turkey's relationship with Hamas is limited to "political support" or "diplomatic engagement." The evidence increasingly points to a situation far more alarming: Turkey has become a primary operational, logistical, and financial hub for Hamas's global terror infrastructure. Countries that enable terrorism cannot at the same time be treated as indispensable partners in the fight against terrorism. By allowing Hamas members to develop drone capabilities on Turkish soil, Ankara is deliberately grooming terrorists for future wars against Israel.

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett appears on Fox News to discuss the current status of the economy and the strong internal investment that is now frontloading a manufacturing surge. As noted by Hassett one of the reasons the first quarter GDP was lower than expected was the amount of capital equipment imported to start a resurgence of the U.S. manufacturing base.

A vigorous scan through the legacy news from this past two weeks has not turned that up. Indeed, the parties at fault have circled the wagons instead of confronting the problem.

The petition, filed on behalf of Jones and other Democratic leaders in Virginia, argued that the Virginia Supreme Court erred in ruling that an “election” in the Virginia constitution includes the early voting period, instead arguing that under federal law, an “election” refers to a singular day.

Saturah Hayes, 17, was fatally shot Friday evening in Brownsville, Tenn. — about an hour northeast of Memphis — where Haywood High School students decked out in tuxedos and dresses gathered for photographs before the big dance, police and school officials said. Four others were shot and hospitalized, according to police. It’s not clear how many of those wounded were students. The prom was cut short and the school was closed Monday to give Hayes’ classmates time to grieve, Action News 5 reported.

In 1921, Woodrow Wilson, the first of America’s four transformative progressive presidents, became the first president to remain in Washington and make the nation’s capital his permanent home after leaving office. In very mild defense of the man who did more than any other to establish the administrative state and thus pervert America’s carefully constructed constitutional design, Wilson had suffered a debilitating stroke two years prior that left him partially paralyzed and nearly blind. He died just a few years later, in 1924. Barack Obama, the nation’s fourth transformative progressive president (following Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson)

Staffers of the Federal Reserve bank system are providing financial backing for the Democratic Party’s lurch toward the far left, a Washington Free Beacon analysis found. Political donations from the Fed staff have a sharp partisan tilt toward Democrats. In the 2024 campaign cycle, 90.3 percent of contributions from Fed employees went to Democrats, according to Open Secrets. The site doesn’t yet have a tally of the political distribution of donations this campaign cycle, but the Fed staff are jumping in, pouring money into contested Democratic primary races and supporting candidates with extreme views that are hostile to free-market economics or to America’s traditional allies.

Fauci testified to a Senate committee on May 11, 2021, that he did not fund “gain of function” research that genetically altered coronaviruses in the same city where the COVID-19 pandemic started — as he tried to tamp down the now-dominant “lab leak” theory. Evidence shows he did. The country’s former top infectious disease official still could face other potential charges for lesser-known contested testimony, or for alleged conduct stretching closer
