There are days they wake up in a state close to wonderment. Friday was one of those days. There was Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s real estate buddy and negotiator in chief, offering them a $300 billion international investment fund. The Ayatollah must have been rubbing his eyebrows or what’s left of them, wondering if he was dreaming. The Iranians had been demanding war reparations but never thought they would get them, and certainly not on this scale. Will somebody please give Witkoff the cane? You have to wonder sometimes what he’s thinking. And then you have the president, one day reassuring Americans that he won’t make a “crummy” deal,

They shouldn't be "offered" anything but a one way ticket to hell! They are not budging from their enriched uranium quest in order have a nuclear weapon, so Trump needs to make good on his many threats and end this farce. Iran will never make a deal, and it is rediculous to keep trying, IMOHO. They have been given MORE than enough time, time now to let the bombs rain down and wipe them out.

The scene outside Delaney Hall detention center turned chaotic again Friday night with more clashes between anti-ICE protesters and agents – despite New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s attempt to establish a “peaceful” protest zone. The mob throughout the evening continued their vile chants and ignored orders from police to disperse or face arrests as law enforcement used tear gas and pepper spray to restrain the unruly crowd, according to footage. “Kill yourself, quit your job, quit your job,” the rabble-rousers chanted at one point. NJ State Police riot police deploy tear gas aganst a crowd of protesters outside Delaney Hall in Newark, on May 29, 2026.

We reported earlier on some of the action happening at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark on Friday night. Nick Sortor went undercover into their encampment, and you can get a good view of how extensive the endeavor is, and it raises a lot of questions about who is behind the funding of this specific action, especially when ICE agents are being assaulted and threatened. But things were getting way out of hand with the clashes and the threats against the ICE agents. Democrat New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill,

As RedState has reported, thanks to the purported "leadership" of Democrats at the state and local levels in New Jersey, the anti-ICE brigade who have taken position at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark have gotten out of control.While their complaints center around unfounded claims of allegedly "inhumane conditions" for the illegal alien detainees, the real issue is what has taken place outside, where agitators have deliberately tried to provoke federal immigration agents into physical altercations, and in some cases were seen on video threatening to kill agents and their families. Yet through it all, Democrat Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a proponent of illegal alien "sanctuary" policies,

CBS News Editor-in-Chief continues draining the woke swamp at the long-compromised Sunday news program, 60 Minutes. The Gateway Pundit has documented for years how ’60 Minutes’ repeatedly targeted conservatives and President Trump with one-sided hit pieces while giving Democrats and their allies soft-glove treatment. The show’s credibility collapsed further after the disastrous Kamala Harris interview that triggered a major lawsuit and exposed its activist bent. Bari Weiss, who famously walked away from The New York Times over its radical leftward lurch and cancel culture, is now applying the same standards at CBS.

Two Minnesota fraudsters allegedly swindled more than $21 million in funding earmarked for autism services through two bogus companies and then spent it lavishly on overseas property, officials said. Shamso Ahmed Hassan, 55, and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, 25, whose mugshots were released on Wednesday, made off like bandits by submitting millions of dollars in fake claims to Minnesota’s Early Intensive Development and Behavioral Intervention Program [EIDBI] between May 2020 and December 2024, authorities said. The pair enrolled two companies co-owned by Hassan — Smart Therapy Center LLC and Star Autism Center LLC —

U.S. Southern Command posted video on social media showing a boat resting on the water before being struck by an explosion. The last few seconds of the video show smoke and fire rising from the boat. A day earlier, U.S. forces had launched a strike on an alleged drug vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing one man and leaving two survivors. Southern Command said it “immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivors.”

Latino support for Democrats remains stagnant despite President Trump losing some of the gains he made with the key voting bloc in the 2024 election, a new poll found. The UnidosUS survey of 3,000 registered Hispanic voters found 54% of Latinos plan to vote for Democratic House candidates in the midterm election, while 27% plan to vote for Republicans and 19% remain undecided. The 54% is exactly the same percentage of Hispanics that went for Democratic House candidates in 2024, according to a CBS News exit poll. The 2024 exit poll results marked a notable decline in Latino support for Democratic House candidates compared to previous election cycles.

The Israeli Defense Forces eliminated a senior Hamas moneyman who funneled millions to the terror group’s military wing, officials confirmed Thursday. Ihab Khrizim was killed in Khan Yunis — which is located on the southern Gaza Strip and Gaza’s second-largest city — on Tuesday as the IDF said that the strike marks a blow to the terror group’s “rehabilitation” attempts. Khrizim was responsible for “managing the transfer of millions of dollars to Hamas’s military wing” and continued to “violate the ceasefire agreement,” according to Israel’s military. His actions enabled the promotion and execution of terror plots in the immediate timeframe —

The US military carried out new strikes in Iran Wednesday, targeting a military site that threatened American troops and commercial shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. “Today, US Central Command Forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz,” a US official said in a statement. “US forces also struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone,” the official added. In retaliation, Iranian forces claimed to have “targeted” a US airbase, according to state-run media.

A lesbian minister in Nantucket, Massachusetts, is canceling her church’s annual Fourth of July celebrations in an act of political protest apparently against the country’s — as well as her own congregation’s — “whiteness.” Rev. Erin Splaine announced to her community Thursday that the Second Congregational Meeting House Society, Unitarian Universalist church would be canceling its customary July 4th celebrations, which include a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. "We came to this decision in large measure because of the recent gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court,” Splaine wrote in a letter to the Nantucket Current. She was referring to

Democrats are shaking their heads in disbelief at the timing of Jill Biden’s memoir and her change in tone about Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance. The party would rather talk about the high cost of living and increased gas prices under President Trump, Democrats told The Post, rather than relive the debate around Joe Biden’s cognitive health. “We need this as much as we need a hole in the head,” Jim Manley, a Democratic strategist who worked in the Senate for years, said. Jill Biden’s confessional about her concerns over the former president’s health is dropping as the party fights to win control of Congress in November.

Texas state Rep. James Talarico, the Democrat running against Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate race, has referred to women as “neighbors with a uterus” on more than one occasion. The Democrat used the expression while lamenting Roe v. Wade being overturned, which brought the issue of abortion back to the state level. “Every one of our neighbors with a uterus became property of the state,” he claimed. In another clip, the Democrat talks about how “neighbors with a uterus” should be able to “control their own body” – leftist code for murdering their unborn child without repercussions.

President Trump declared Friday that he has “no interest in continuing” to oversee operations and renovations at the Kennedy Center – and will move to transfer those responsibilities to Congress – after a federal judge ordered his name to be removed from the performing arts venue. ⁠District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that within 14 days all physical signage bearing Trump’s name must be removed from the building and all references to a “Trump Kennedy Center” must be eliminated from official materials, in response to a lawsuit by Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), who is an ex-officio member of the institution’s board.

(snip) Ironically, among the clues about the judge’s identity, the order mentions that the judge attended the “victory party for a District Attorney” in 2024, the night before “the judge’s summer interns’ first day.” The Georgia primary was on May 21, 2024, and the date coincides with the victory party for Fani Willis,

Williams Jr., 20, was arrested Thursday and charged with disorderly conduct and damage to private property in connection with the brawl that broke out during John Marshall High School’s graduation ceremony at Virginia Commonwealth University, according to police. A 12-second viral video of the violence posted on Facebook shows the moment several attendees began to fight on the students’ special day in front of shocked family members just before 11 a.m. Wednesday at the school’s Siegel Center.

The federal judge who ruled Friday that it is unlawful for President Donald Trump to add his name to the Kennedy Center is the husband of former President Joe Biden’s personal attorney. U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper, who is married to Joe Biden’s personal attorney Amy Jeffress, ruled that President Trump can’t legally add his name to the Kennedy Center, effectively blocking the performing arts venue’s updated moniker — the Trump Kennedy Center, court documents show. Cooper also blocked the administration’s plans for a two-year closure so the center can undergo significant renovations. According to Judge Cooper, Trump’s name cannot be added as the law that established the center “makes crystal
