It’s long been conceded that the president controls foreign policy, although Congress, as a body, has the power to limit that control. Currently, Trump’s foreign policy is to prevent Cuba from having access to oil. The point of this embargo is to bring the regime to breaking point—and to encourage its beleaguered people to rise up—ending one of the world’s most evil regimes, which has long been a threat on our southern flank.
However, there’s one person in Congress who thinks this is a really bad idea: Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Socialist-WA). To that end, Jayapal admittedly pursued her own foreign policy, separate from any congressional action, to get oil to Cuba.
Walgreens has announced that it is closing a store in the Chatham neighborhood of Chicago. They claim that the store is losing upwards of a million dollars a year to theft, so the reason for the closure is no mystery. They say that this particular store loses more in theft than any other store.
And yet… The political leaders in Chicago, who allow thieves to run wild, are angry at Walgreens.
They caused this, with their soft on crime policies, yet they are mad at Walgreens for closing the location.
FBI Offering New Reward for Former Counterintelligence

Specialist Charged With Espionage for Iran replies
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has pushed the manhunt for a former U.S. servicemember who allegedly took part in espionage activities on behalf of the Iranian regime into third gear with the latest development this week. The former Air Force counterintelligence specialist defected to Iran in 2013, then was indicted in 2019.In hopes of capturing Monica Witt, the FBI has sweetened the deal with a hefty reward - $200,000:My colleague Streiff wrote at the time about this curious case, in a follow up to RedState's initial story on Witt's indictment. His expertise is worth reading at length here:
Back in 2000, when my then-fiancé, now-wife (Johanna), and I lived in Hawaii, I could spot her in a crowd from over a mile away. See, she’s a Dutch citizen — and according to the laws of her country, she’s 5-feet-10 and has blonde hair. (All Dutch people are tall and blonde. Hawaiians are tiny and have dark hair. True story: I had to crouch my hulking 5-foot, 11-inch body, just to fit beneath our Hawaiian shower.)
Then we moved to Los Angeles.
Talk about a total role reversal: We’d go to the mall… and she’d just vanish. Back then, LA was the land of the 5-foot-10 blondes! (Sometimes,
President Trump slammed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for blaming his administration for the Long Island Rail Road strike.
LIRR is the largest commuter rail system in the U.S.
Hochul released a formal statement criticizing Trump on Saturday.
"Failed New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, a Dumacrat, just blamed ME for her Long Island Railroad STRIKE, when she knows, full well, that I have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT - never even heard about it until this morning. She just blurted out, "It’s President Trump’s fault.' No, Kathy, it’s your fault, and now looking over the facts, you should not have allowed this to happen," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The Long Island Rail Road strike sparked a firestorm of finger-pointing in the hours after thousands of workers walked off the job in a midnight strike, mangling commutes for countless Long Islanders.
Gov. Kathy Hochul found herself under withering criticism when she tried to pin the transit meltdown on the Trump administration within an hour of the strike.
“The disruption that Long Islanders face starting tonight is the direct result of reckless actions by the Trump Administration to cut mediation short and push these negotiations toward a strike,” Hochul said in a sentiment mirrored similar ones by MTA boss Janno Lieber —
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. Look — we left their bridges.
The Democrats are so upset they're losing the redistricting battle.
I wrote earlier on Saturday on how Kamala Harris is now promoting a slew of bad ideas in response, including going after the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, and making Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., new U.S. states.
It just shows that to the Dems, it isn't about the rule of law or the Constitution: it's about how they can get control and/or hold onto it. What makes the Democrats' meltdown even better, and puts some icing on the cake, is just how much money they spent on the losing effort attempting to add four seats in Virginia.

Left-wing critics have been regularly accusing the Trump family of profiting off Donald Trump’s presidency, but following his father’s historic trip to China, Eric Trump has decided to litigate to stop the accusations.
Trump said Friday he will be suing MSNOW, formerly MSNBC, and host Jen Psaki after she implied on her show that the son taking the trip with his father was a conflict of interest and a chance to exploit a computer chip deal.
According to the Hill:
Psaki said on her show “The Briefing” that ALT5 Sigma, a Las Vegas-based fintech company for which Eric Trump once served as a board observer,

Extradited from Colombia to Texas on Drug-Terrorism Charges replies
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) worked with law enforcement authorities in Colombia to successfully extradite a suspected high-ranking member of the notorious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. Jose Enrique Martinez-Flores, a 24-year-old Venezuelan national, arrived in Houston, Texas, this week and will face drug distribution and terrorism charges.
According to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), Martinez-Flores made his initial court appearance on Friday on charges of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization and significant drug trafficking offenses. Martinez-Flores, known as “Chuqui,” is alleged to be a high-ranking leader of the hyperviolent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua Gang.
An unborn baby was killed last week in Dallas, Texas, during a gas station shooting.
Two illegal aliens were arrested, with at least one who was let into the US during Biden’s term in office.

The victims told the police that their car was shot at by the suspects in another vehicle after there was an incident at the local 7-Eleven.

It's official: Florida's Palm Beach International Airport is now President Donald J. Trump International Airport, and the aviation world is catching up. The rename has been in the works for months, driven by state legislation, federal action, and the straightforward reality that Palm Beach is Trump's home turf — Mar-a-Lago sits just a few miles from the runways. The name change takes effect July 1; the code flips from PBI to DJT on July 9. [Tweet]
A final rule in the Federal Register sealed it on May 14.
The Florida House passed the renaming bill 81–30, and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it into law on March 30.
Admittedly, I haven’t been paying much attention to the Los Angeles mayoral race, but a LEGO-animated campaign ad caught my attention, and I just had to write about it.
The ad, published this week in support of Spencer Pratt's 2026 campaign for mayor of Los Angeles, is making the rounds online, and for good reason. It's a parody of "Everything Is Awesome" from The Lego Movie, set against a LEGO-animated cityscape that tells the dirty truth about the city under Karen Bass’s leadership.
It opens with a scene that cuts straight to the truth: a man assaulting a police officer on a city street.
Global inflation pressures are showing signs of easing as major central banks signal a shift toward interest rate cuts in the coming months. economists now say that after years of aggressive monetary tightening, the worst may finally be behind consumers and businesses alike. the federal reserve, the european central bank, and the bank of england have all hinted at a more accommodative stance heading into the second half of the year. analysts caution, however, that any cuts will be gradual and data-dependent, with policymakers keeping a close eye on labor markets and energy prices before making any firm commitments.
The Christian people of Nigeria have been brutalized by Boko Haram and regional elements of the Islamic State (ISIS). In February a small group of around 200 U.S. military technical and training personnel were sent to Nigeria.

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $200,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of former U.S. counterintelligence agent Monica Elfriede Witt, a one-time Air Force intelligence specialist accused of defecting to Iran and providing classified information to the Iranian government.
The FBI Washington Field Office announced the renewed reward offer on Thursday, saying Witt remains at large after being charged in a 2019 federal espionage case. Witt, 47, served in the U.S. Air Force from 1997 to 2008 and later worked as a government contractor until 2010. During her military and contracting service, authorities said she had access to SECRET and TOP SECRET intelligence,

In 1979, 1999, 2009, 2017-2018, 2019, 2022, late 2025 and early 2026, the Iranian people rose up in massive nationwide protests against economic collapse, repression, and governance failures. Each time, the regime responded with ruthless massacres...
Millions of unarmed civilians, no matter how courageous, cannot easily overcome such force.
Iran's regime continues its anti-American posture, support for proxies, and internal repression. It does not seek to reform, it seeks rearmament and revenge. Regime change is therefore not optional; it is essential.

The redistricting battle has been a real window into how far Democrats are willing to go to get - or keep - power. The meltdowns have been epic.
Perhaps one of the funniest responses was from Kamala Harris. She keeps trying to remain relevant, likely to stoke her hopes for a 2028 presidential run.

Intifada means jihad against Jews, Christians, and even any Muslims who don’t acquiesce in the plan. And that is exactly what a group of Islamist rioters called for this weekend at the site of the devastating 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City.
Marxists around the world, but particularly in America, were holding protests against the existence of Israel as the nation God gave to the Jews in perpetuity (Genesis 17:8), celebrated its independence and modern rebirth. Hundreds of commie groups, many of them tied to the mass murdering Chinese Communist Party,
Long deployments are hard on our service members, and now the USS Gerald R. Ford, the mightiest warship in human history, has returned to its home port of Norfolk, Virginia, after an 11-month deployment. That's the longest deployment by an American aircraft carrier since the Vietnam War.
The extended deployment saw the ship involved in the ouster of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, and then participating in the curb-stomping of Iran in Operation Epic Fury. Now, the officers and sailors are getting a break.
Two recent news items have spurred the return of the tariff issue to the front burner of American politics.
First (at the time of writing), President Trump will attend a summit with People’s Republic of China (PRC) President Xi Jinping in May.
Second, U.S. Steel has announced plans to resume operations at its Gary, Indiana, tin mill.
And, again, one will hear the Free Traders shrilly bemoaning how “tariffs are a tax on consumers.”
If one were to honestly accept the Free Traders’ logic that a company passing off its costs of compliance with a federal statute and/or regulation on to consumers constitutes a “tax,”
The US Coast Guard took out three narco-terrorist vessels carrying nearly $45.8 million worth of illicit narcotics near Colombia.
A Coast Guard sniper fired on the drug boats.
“US Coast Guard Southeast crews aboard CGC Tahoma and an embarked helicopter seized approximately 6,085 pounds of cocaine worth nearly $45.8 million Saturday after stopping three vessels off the coast of Colombia,” USCG said.
“The interdiction required disabling fire after warning shots proved ineffective,” they said.
A Spotify account listed under the name of Rama Duwaji, wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, contained curated musical playlists with anti-Israel and anti-police lyrics.
Olivia Reingold at The Free Press first reported on Thursday that Spotify playlists under an account with Duwaji’s name featured “anti-Israel anthems” and were created just after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
One playlist was called “hungry but sexy for Palestine,” and contained songs such as “Amrikkka” and “Intifada.” It also includes one called “Ana Bakrah Israel,” which, according to The Free Press, translates to “I Hate Israel.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Friday that he had a "good phone call" with President Donald Trump and that the two leaders agree on multiple issues, including that Iran "must come to the negotiating table now."
Trump and the chancellor have had a rocky relationship over the conflict in the Middle East, with Trump last month singling Merz out over his alleged support of Iran developing nuclear weapons.
The chancellor clarified in a post on Friday that he does not support Tehran developing nuclear capabilities.
We Need To Detransition America

We must end this madness. The fact that Americans are now expected to accept taxpayer-funded “transing” of people—especially vulnerable children—as legitimate public policy is beyond absurd. How did we ever arrive at a point where the government not only tolerates but also financially supports puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries?
Regardless of where Americans stand on broader cultural debates, taxpayers should never be forced to bankroll permanent medical interventions that carry enormous physical, emotional, and financial consequences. It is irrational, irresponsible, and deeply dangerous. Let’s be honest about what makes this so insane. We do not use public dollars to help people smoke more cigarettes. We do not subsidize alcoholism.

Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has laundered Hamas propaganda and damaged the Jewish state with his absurd rape dog column. Kristof is sticking with his story, as is the Times. May they both rot in Gehenna.

An Environmental Protection Agency lawyer and union leader has signed a dissent letter opposing President Donald Trump’s policy at the agency and has posted on social media attacking EPA Director Lee Zeldin, but appears to still be employed there.
This activity raises questions as to whether she might be a “deep state” actor, working to undermine Trump’s policies from within the administration.

During President Donald Trump's trip to China this week, marked by fanfare and pleasantries, a stark contrast was on display in the United States where the Justice Department charged an American mayor for illegally acting as an agent of the Chinese Communist government.
The incongruity between the flowery praise heaped on the American president in Beijing by Chairman Xi Jinping and the shocking tale of a U.S. official doing “the bidding” of a foreign government suggests underlying tensions in the U.S.-China relationship are not going away, despite promises to decrease trade barriers and achieve a peaceful coexistence.
Minnesota Democrats are advancing legislation that would recognize an “inherent right” for uncultivated wild rice to “exist and thrive,” even as state law continues to uphold expansive abortion “rights.” Senate File 3749 (SF3749), introduced by Senator Mary Kunesh (D-New Brighton) on February 19, 2026, would amend Minnesota’s statute describing the state’s official grain and add language recognizing such a right.
The proposal comes three years after Governor Tim Walz signed the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act into law on January 31, 2023. The law codifies abortion as a “fundamental right” in Minnesota statute, and allows the procedure at any stage when deemed necessary for the mother’s health.

With one weekend and a day before the Kentucky primary elections, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has found himself with fewer and fewer friends and allies as President Donald Trump has actively sought to primary him over a number of open disputes. Massie, who has served in Congress since November 2012, faces three Republican challengers in next week’s primary voting to decide who will be the Republican contender to serve Kentucky’s 4th congressional district in the House. They are: Trump-endorsed former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, Dennis Jackson, and Robert Wells. Trump went so far as to attend a rally in support of Gallrein.

Even though this will be his last year as governor due to term limits, Ron DeSantis (R) remains a target of Florida's Democrats due in large part to his effectiveness, the fact that he's unapologetically conservative, and his standing firm on the issues that are important to him and a majority of Floridians. So it was no surprise that amid the marathon session that produced a new congressional map approved by lawmakers on the day of the Louisiana v.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani was blasted for “corrupting history” about the creation of Israel in a vile social media post paying tribute to Palestinians – sent out just before Jewish New Yorkers observed Shabbat.
Mamdani, a staunch critic of Israel, honored “Nakba Day” – marking what Palestinians call the “catastrophe” of the Jewish State’s declaration of independence on May 14, 1948 – in a Friday night post, that included a polished video interview with “Nakba survivor” and city resident Inea Bushnaq.

President Donald Trump posted a graphic on Truth Social on Tuesday, May 12, showing Venezuela’s outline filled with the American flag and the words “51st State” above it.
The post came one day after Fox News’s John Roberts wrote on X: “Just got off the phone with @realDonaldTrump … he told me he is seriously considering a move to make Venezuela the 51st state…”
Trump’s post follows months of major developments in U.S.-Venezuela relations after the January 3 arrest of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, by U.S. forces in Caracas in a law enforcement operation authorized by Trump.

With the dust on redistricting mostly settled, Republicans appear poised for a double-digit swing of House seats in their favor in the 2026 midterms, at least if all goes according to plan.
The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais saw the justices narrow Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and disallow race-based congressional districts. The move triggered map redraws across the South and is expected to result in more than a dozen seats moving toward the GOP, at least in time for 2028.
Democratic countermeasures, meanwhile, have hit a judicial brick wall, with the Virginia Supreme Court striking down that state’s ambitious redraw, saving four Republican seats.
Pravda, Russia's longtime propaganda mouthpiece, has long practiced the art of projection: taking something controversial that Moscow did and trying to make it look like the United States did the same.

Walz did become known for something consequential, something consequentially bad. He dropped out of running again for governor after the Minnesota fraud scandal exploded. He helped demonize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and incited radicals in his state against law enforcement.

It was a busy week in the news, although, to be honest, a relatively quiet one in meme-world. Trump went to China, the New York Times sank to what could be a new low even for that despicable rag, the Spencer Pratt campaign took Los Angeles by storm, a Hollywood director unveiled a new adaptation of The Odyssey in which Helen is black and Achilles is a woman, the Democrats’ redistricting scheme blew up, for the most part, in their face.

Not that anyone was watching it, but Whoopi Goldberg had a meltdown on The View this week, and Greg Gutfeld made sure she didn't get away with it.
Whoopi went on this rambling tangent about how nobody is running the country. She torched Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, and basically every official in the Trump administration. "I have no faith in the people who are running anything," she said. "I don't believe in anybody who is running this country right now."

People have asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio if he plans to run for president in 2028, and his answer has been the same every time. Unequivocally, he endorses Vice President JD Vance, who is assumed to be the likely Republican standard-bearer. At the same time, given the way in which Rubio has been used, while rising to the occasion every time, you cannot ignore him. President Donald Trump has not shied away from praising both Vance and Rubio, but he has been substantially more effusive lately in his comments about Rubio.
