musicians back out of Freedom 250 concert

President Trump is touting a performer who draws larger crowds than “Elvis” to headline the Great American State Fair on the National Mall, after numerous high-profile cancellations — himself. Trump posted about the idea Saturday of giving a “major” speech and holding an “AMERICA IS BACK” rally, after a series of musicians pulled out following the announcement of the scheduled lineup in DC – among them Poison frontman Bret Michaels, country crooner Martina McBride and R&B group The Commodores. “I understand Artists are getting “the yips” having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World,

Ohio will be the first state in the country to share its corporate registration records with the Justice Department’s new National Fraud Detection Center, as fraud scandals continue to drain taxpayer dollars nationwide.
The first-of-its-kind partnership will give federal investigators immediate access to the state’s public business registration data, which could help expose shell companies, suspicious networks, shared addresses, and other signs of taxpayer fraud. “This is what I consider to be a historic day in our fight against fraud,” Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald said. “Americans deserve a government that stewards their money wisely and protects it from wrongdoers.
Who would have thought education dollars were best used when actually directed toward the education of students?
Attempting to follow every letter of federal regulation in education is a monumental task. School personnel spend tens of millions of hours (and dollars) each year on federal compliance. What they get in return for this investment is rarely to the students’ direct benefit.
Through the new Returning Education to the States Waiver, the Education Department has created a map for reform. As a result, many state superintendents across the country are working with the Education Department to redirect tax money.
The Supreme Court on Thursday sided 8-1 with the Federal Communications Commission against two telecom giants over a combined $100 million in fines.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority. The lone dissenter was Justice Clarence Thomas.
Telecom companies AT&T and Verizon claimed the FCC violated their rights to a jury trial by issuing fines for an alleged violation of the law.
The FCC had found that both companies violated the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which requires carriers to protect the confidentiality of customer data. The commission fined AT&T $57 million and fined Verizon $46.9 million.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told Breitbart News that it would be a “big, big, big deal” if President Donald Trump turned his gaze to finalizing the Washington Agreement between Serbia and Kosovo after he finishes his deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“If we’ll be able to reach a compromise, compromising solution, that would be a big, big, big deal,” Vucic told Breitbart News in a lengthy interview in his office when asked if Trump finishing the deal inked in his first term on the matter would be a big success for the American president. “Yeah.”
Former President Joe Biden crashed his wife Jill’s debut book talk Tuesday, stealing her spotlight to bizarrely ask the former first lady who she loves the most in a cringe-inducing moment before aides could cut him off.
Jill Biden had been wrapping up a Q&A about her newly released book “A View from the East Wing” with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side when Biden, 83, left his seat in the audience and wandered up to the edge of the stage.
Goldberg had read a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service, and Jill, 75, stood up —
Tehran launched at least five missiles that “failed to hit their intended targets” in neighboring Gulf countries. Two fell short or splintered mid-air while the other three were intercepted by US and Bahrain air defense forces, according to CENTCOM.
Iranian state media broadcast that three missiles struck “enemy bases” in Kuwait.CENTCOM also shot down three one-way attack drones that Iranian forces fired toward civilian mariners in the surrounding regional waters. The US’s strike targeted a military ground control station on the island, which sits along the critical Strait of Hormuz.
The US military condemned the “unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire.”

President Trump-backed Rep. Randy Feenstra conceded to businessman Zach Lahn in the Iowa GOP primary for governor, marking a rare endorsement defeat for the president in the primaries.
Lahn barely edged out Feenstra (R-Iowa) in the contest to take on Democratic state auditor Rob Sand in the general election. The congressman conceded before most outlets even called the race.Up until Tuesday, Trump had a perfect endorsement record in House, Senate, and governor races on the Republican side.
Notably, the president did have a handful of GOP primary defeats in low-level races such as state legislative ones.
Trump had endorsed Feenstra on Friday,
New York Democrats’ latest bid to suppress Republican voters launches this week as the Legislature gets the ball rolling on amending the state Constitution to allow it.
They claim they’re just countering GOP gerrymandering across the country, but that prompts the question: Why did they start trying to do this before the ink was even dry on the 2020 Census?
As we noted recently, New York Dems in fact triggered the gerrymander wars with their relentless efforts, starting in 2021, to undo the voter-passed prohibition on gerrymandering so they could draw district maps guaranteed to shut out the Republicans (who still draw over 40% of the statewide vote).
Inflation is hitting Iran hard in the midst of stalled negotiations with the U.S.
Iranian news agencies are reporting that the country has stopped talking with mediators about extending the ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel, the Associated Press reported.
President Donald Trump said Monday that he does not "care" if peace negotiations with Iran are over, stating that the negotiations had been taking too much time. However, Trump said on Tuesday that claims that the two countries have ceased communicating are "false and erroneous."
So long as no agreement is reached, Iran's oil-
The United States Central Command said Tuesday night that U.S. forces have successfully defended itself against aggressive Iranian behavior and countered with self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf.
The U.S. military said Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors in the Middle East, which all failed to hit their targets of Bahrain and Kuwait.
American forces also shot down three one-way attack drones that were launched toward civilian mariners in regional waters and conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on the island.

Californians go to the polls Tuesday to vote in primary elections that are expected to narrow the wide-open fields for November's General Elections in both the Los Angeles mayoral race and state gubernatorial contest – already the most expensive governor's race in U.S. history, with over $315 million spent so far.
Polling shows neither race having a clear leader, with Republican candidates in the liberal-leaning state among the front-runners in both.
In the governor's race, the campaign of billionaire Democratic candidate Tom Steyer has poured in over $200 million in ad spending, the most money of any candidate this election cycle in the country

Platner scandal 4 replies
Democratic Maine Gov. Jane Mills reminded voters Sunday that she is still on the ballot in next week's Senate Democratic primary as constituents grapple with reports that candidate Graham Platner allegedly exchanged sexually explicit text messages with several women earlier in his marriage.
The revelation came out this weekend that Platner's wife Amy Gertner alerted his campaign to the texts in August 2025 after discovering the messages earlier that year.
Campaign aides reportedly reviewed the matter during an internal vetting process shortly after Platner launched his Senate bid, but staff members ultimately decided the issue was personal—

Even the left-wing Guardian is laughing out loud at Barry Obama’s ugly-a** monument to himself.
“‘Like a Klingon prison’: inside Barack Obama’s audacious, near-windowless, $850m presidential library,” reads the headline, and the mockery doesn’t stop there.
We’re about two weeks away from this Chicago-based monstrosity opening to the public, and the Guardian, which I’m sure the Obama folks expected to be friendly, was not terribly impressed. Here are some highlights from their coverage:
“He might have seemed humble in office, but in his post-presidential, Netflix-producing afterlife, Obama has erected the largest, costliest and most audacious complex of them all,” the report explains. “Behold the $850m Obamalisk – or,
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is facing fresh allegations of having exaggerated his military experience, after a yearlong Spotlight on Maryland investigation yielded “no documentary evidence” to support his claim of having “led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan.”
(Snip) In a May 2022 post on X, Moore wrote, “When I was an Army captain and led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan, we lived by a simple principle: Leave no one behind.”
(Snip) According to the Sun, “Military records reviewed by Spotlight show no evidence that Moore, a lieutenant assigned as a brigade headquarters staff officer, experienced firefights in Afghanistan as his public narrative conveys.”

war powers resolution to halt military

The House approved a war powers resolution Wednesday that would halt the US military action against Iran, defying President Donald Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long war that has reordered politics at home and abroad.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had tried to prevent an outcome that would show the mounting opposition to the war, abruptly shutting down floor action two weeks ago when the war powers resolution was on the verge of approval. But displeasure has only grown as the conflict drags on and as Trump struggles to negotiate a quick resolution.
The roll call Wednesday was 215-208,
A World Without The U.N. Is A Better Place

The United Nations is going broke? Please, say it is so. The world’s largest parasite, the running cocktail party for despots, apparatchiks, terrorists, climate fanatics and Americanophobes, should be shut down — with prejudice.
News reports tell us the U.N. is facing imminent bankruptcy, headed toward a financial collapse and is at risk of insolvency. It’s “expected to officially run out of money in mid-August.”
The best part is “the United States is a big reason why.”
“The United States owes roughly $2 billion to the organization’s regular budget on top of another $2.2 billion for peacekeeping
The Democratic nominee to represent New Jersey's Seventh Congressional District in the House of Representatives, Rebecca Bennett, said she "stopped going to church" because she could not sit in a room "full of people who voted for Trump," audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.
At a campaign event in February, a woman asked Bennett, "I loved hearing you say that you're a patriot, but what are you going to do about that being a right-coded way of presenting yourself?" Bennett responded with a story about how she stopped attending church services because she could not bear to be around people who voted for President Donald Trump.
After months of campaigning, millions of dollars’ worth of advertisements and a 61-candidate ballot for governor that included names such as LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott and Barack D. Obama Shaw, California voters have arrived at the next phase of the election:
The wait.

Mom’s not the word.
New York state Democrats passed a bill to erase words like “mother” and “father” from Family Court Law — in the latest gender-neutral rewriting in the state’s official records.
“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” and “paternity” proceedings would become “parentage” proceedings under the woke bill that was rammed through both houses of the state legislature this week. A “putative father” in paternity proceedings would now be defined as “an alleged parent” under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and goes to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.

Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) suggested to a group of supporters that the 77 million+ Americans who voted for President Donald Trump are ignorant and ill-informed.
Murphy, the Deputy Democratic Conference Secretary who is said to be on the shortlist to one day replace Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in leading Senate Democrats, recently insulted millions of Americans by suggesting to Fox News that they are total rubes and “actually don’t know much,” living as zombies.
“There are lots of Trump voters who don’t know much about the facts,”
Two hundred and ten years ago this summer, a 19-year-old woman named Mary Shelley, bored one stormy afternoon, decided to write the scariest story ever told.
It was a tale of a brilliant and arrogant man who wanted to change the world but ended up creating a monster. She named him Barack Obama.
All right, she named him Dr. Frankenstein. But had the great author been around to witness Adam Hamawy win the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, she would’ve understood right away that she was looking at a familiar tale of hubris, malice and ghouls on the loose.
The St. Paul city attorney says no state charges will be filed against anti-ICE protesters who demonstrated in a St. Paul church earlier this year. The protesters disrupted a Sunday service in January because a church leader there is also a ranking official in a local ICE office.
In a statement sent to MPR News Wednesday, attorney Irene Kao said the decision comes after her office reviewed evidence submitted by law enforcement.

In California, the term “Election Day” is really a misnomer — it’s election month, at least. Ballots were sent out for Tuesday’s primary on May 4 to every eligible voter, which amounts to over 23 million people. Folks have been voting ever since.
So Tuesday marks the end of a seemingly never-ending period that ends this evening; it’s hardly election day.
Well, perhaps we’ll know the winners and the losers by the end of the evening, you might argue, so we can still call it "election night." Oh no, no, no, this is the Left Coast, and things get strange out here. It can take weeks
