Original Article

Well, isn't this interesting? There are reports that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been conducting military strikes against an Iranian oil facility. If this can be confirmed, this could represent quite a shake-up in the Middle East. That post reads: MORE: According to the Wall Street Journal, the UAE secretly carried out military strikes inside Iran, including the April 8 attack on the oil refinery on Lavan Island. The UAE reportedly used Western-made fighter jets, believed to be Mirage 2000-9s, but has not publicly acknowledged the operation. The strike took place just hours after a fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Iran responded immediately with missile and drone attacks on targets in the UAE.

FTA - "And the UAE has reason to be peeved with Iran; since the start of Operation Epic Fury, an operation that the UAE was not part of, Iran launched nearly 3,000 missiles and drones against the smaller country. That's reason enough to hit back in anyone's book." If the UAE strikes on iran are confirmed, the plot thickens and iran has painted itself into a corner. It's a good thing that its nuke program was "put on hold".

Iran Reportedly Hits UAE Nuclear Site,
and Trump's Patience With the Regime Appears Finished

President Donald Trump is back from China with a very clear message to the Iranian regime. “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” Before Trump left for China, it was clear that his patience with the Iranian regime was wearing thin. So if they didn't get it before, they should listen now. It's time to fish or cut bait, and if they do not, they're going to have a very unfortunate 'find out" moment. The Iranian regime still appears to be misbehaving, as they're believed to be behind a serious drone strike

AUSTIN, Texas — Two people were in custody and a third suspect was being sought following at least 10 random weekend shootings in Austin, Texas, including at fire stations, that left four people injured, city officials said Sunday. The city had ordered residents of a large part of the southern area of Texas’ capital city to shelter in place Sunday while the search continued. With two suspects in custody, the order was later lifted, the Austin Police Department said in a post on X. The shootings occurred Saturday night and Sunday morning, two of them at fire stations,

Democratic lawmakers on Friday slammed the Trump administration over reports that President Donald Trump would drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in an exchange for what some called a $1.7 billion “slush fund.” “This administration is dripping with corruption from top to bottom, but rushing a settlement to steal $1.7 billion taxpayer dollars for a slush fund before a judge can toss your junk lawsuit would be among the most corrupt acts in American political history,” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee. “This lawsuit has never been anything more

President Donald Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The commission overseeing the compensation fund would have the total authority to hand out approximately $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds to settle claims brought by anyone who alleges they were harmed by the Biden administration's "weaponization" of the legal system, including the nearly 1,600 individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced this week that April marked twelve consecutive months of zero releases of illegal aliens apprehended by Border Patrol at the southwest border with Mexico into the United States — a milestone officials say reflects the most secure border in American history under President Donald Trump. DHS reports a 94 percent drop in illegal border apprehensions compared to the Biden era, with daily crossings now lower than what agents encountered in a single hour at the height of the 2023 crisis. Twelve straight months of ZERO releases at the border. Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, we are delivering the most secure border in American history,”

President Donald Trump continues his state visit to China, and as RedState’s Nick Arama reported Thursday, the trip appears to be going very well as Chinese President Xi Jinping rolled out the red carpet for the U.S. delegation. More importantly, the two leaders have come to agreement on a number of issues, from increasing Chinese investment into our industries to stopping the flow of fentanyl precursors to cooperating on keeping open the Strait of Hormuz. Crucially, as Arama wrote, “Both countries agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.” With the serious meetings out of the way for the moment, it was time for a luxe state dinner:

As we go toward the 2026 midterms, normally, the party out of power - in this case, the Democrats - would have the edge. But redistricting has made things much closer. On top of that, Democrats still have the problem that the voters don't think very highly of them, as we reported. CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten explained that, in addition to redistricting, which is likely to deliver more seats to Republicans, their generic Congressional ballot numbers have gotten worse since March, and they are now within the margin of error.

A Democrat congressional candidate in deep East Texas said that his first vote as a U.S. Representative would be to impeach Donald Trump. The candidate also told a local ABC affiliate that he opposes border walls and would support a bill similar to an amnesty plan proposed by Congress during the Biden administration. Democrat congressional candidate Dan Alexander told KLTV ABC7 in Tyler, Texas, that he would support an effort to impeach President Trump if he were elected to the state’s 1st Congressional District — a seat currently held by Republican Nathaniel Moran. He called the immigration enforcement policy of mass deportation “an assault on the American people.” “Walls don’t work,”

CENTCOM chief Adm. Brad Cooper said Thursday that Iran’s military capabilities have been “severely degraded” across “every domain” following the U.S. air campaign against the Islamic Republic, declaring that every military objective set out for Operation Epic Fury had been achieved while asserting that the Iranian regime’s terror proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis — have been “completely cut off” from weapons supplies and support from Tehran. Speaking before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Cooper described an Iranian regime whose military-industrial base, proxy network, naval forces, and command structure had all been severely battered during the nearly six-week kinetic phase of the conflict. “We met every military objective for Epic Fury,”

Admissions staff at Yale University’s medical school “used racial proxies” and “intentionally selected applicants based on their race” to the benefit of black and Hispanic students, despite a Supreme Court ruling that affirmative action is illegal, according to a new report from the Department of Justice. “Yale uses its holistic-review procedure to uncover and then use applicants’ race through direct and indirect means,” says a letter from the DOJ, which conducted a year-long investigation into the school. “It then conducts interviews that enable the committee to know applicants’ race and ethnicity. Race preferences elevate Black and Hispanic applicants in the admissions process.”

President Trump gave Tehran another reason to worry Saturday, posting a video clip on his Truth Social showing him ordering a military attack on an Iranian aircraft. “Okay, we have it in our sight. Fire – boom!” Trump says, as a US-flagged destroyer blows one with the Iranian flag out of the sky. In his latest comments on the war, Trump has dismissed Iran’s latest peace offer as “unacceptable,” while speaking freely about the devastation the US military has already inflicted on Iran — and the targets it spared but could reconsider.“We hit them unbelievably hard.

Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy missed the runoff in the state’s GOP Senate primary Saturday, ending the reelection hopes of one of the few Senate Republicans who voted to convict President Donald Trump after the January 6 Capitol protest. Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming are now set to advance after no candidate received the majority needed to avoid a June 27 runoff. Cassidy’s defeat is not complicated. In 2021, Cassidy joined Democrats and a small group of establishment Republicans in voting to convict Trump during the second impeachment trial.
