Restraining Israel Is Not the Answer

Donald Trump is not known for hewing to convention, but this week he seemed to rerun a standard Beltway drama. During a phone call on Monday, the president called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "crazy" and pressured him to rein in the Israeli offensive in Lebanon. Two days later, the State Department announced it had brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The seeming crackup in the Bibi-Trump bromance thrilled Israel’s critics and perturbed the Jewish state’s supporters. Some hope the close working relationship between Trump and Netanyahu is drawing to a close, others fear the entire bond between Washington and Jerusalem to be severed.

President Trump delivered one of the moments of his presidency as his interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker neared its conclusion.
The “Meet the Press” host traveled to Wisconsin to interview Trump on a variety of topics, including the war with Iran, gas prices, and the “anti-weaponization” fund.
Toward the end, Trump absolutely went off on the corrupt state of American elections, especially in California. Welker tried desperately to interrupt. But Trump would not let go.
President Donald Trump’s top counterterrorism adviser confirmed that U.S. and Nigerian forces killed 199 suspected terrorists and seized massive new evidence about ISIS extremists during a recent secret mission deep in Africa.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka, Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council, dropped the details during an appearance on the “Just the News, No Noise” show, declaring the operation “the most successful counterterrorism operation since September 11.”
Her shoddy case shot through, leftist Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes apparently isn’t done tormenting her party’s political enemies— allies of President Donald Trump — just yet.
On Thursday, Mayes’ office said she would go back to the drawing board and seek a new indictment against Republican officials caught up in her insatiable weaponized prosecution for crimes she claims were committed following the rigged 2020 presidential election. The announcement came shortly after the Arizona Supreme Court denied the state’s appeal to resurrect the moribund political witch hunt.
The Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Elder Justice Coordinating Council (EJCC) has adopted a sweeping Federal Elder Justice Action Plan and is launching an aggressive “Never, Ever” awareness and prevention campaign, a powerful MAHA-aligned move to protect seniors’ dignity under Trump’s leadership.
“When federal agencies work together to streamline oversight and administrative processes, it strengthens protections for vulnerable seniors while improving accountability across the aging services continuum,” President and CEO of LeadingAge South Carolina, Kassie South, told Just The News.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has told Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) officials and international oil company executives that Baghdad is prepared to provide security guarantees to facilitate the rapid resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region.
Zaidi is expected to visit Washington next month for a White House meeting with President Donald Trump, who supported his appointment as prime minister.
Ahead of the visit, Zaidi is seeking to demonstrate progress on key US priorities, including curbing Iran-backed militias and resolving longstanding financial and energy disputes between the federal government, the KRG, and U.S. energy firms operating in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

electors case 2 replies
The Arizona Supreme Court declined to review a case against the state's 11 fake electors who attempted to help President Donald Trump overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election.
In 2024, an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 people who signed a document granting Arizona's electoral votes to Trump on fraud charges. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows were among those indicted, AZ Mirror reported.
Attorneys for the fake electors said in a trial court that the indictments were invalid. The jurors weren't given a copy of the 1887 Electoral Count Act, which the attorneys argued absolved them of any wrongdoing.

As the peace negotiations in the Middle East are ongoing, the world’s attention is already turning to the next mission by Donald J. Trump’s administration: the island-nation of Cuba.
Yesterday (4), the US imposed heavy sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, his wife, and three other individuals.
It’s the latest escalation against Havana’s Communist leadership, freezing individuals’ property and bank accounts in the US. According to a statement signed by the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, those ‘designated today (Thursday) direct or fund the regime and its efforts to mobilize its radical revolutionary movements in the United States and around the world
The story on Graham Platner that the New York Times dropped on Thursday painted the picture of a deeply sociopathic, controlling, and abusive man who shouldn't be elected dog catcher, much less to the United States Senate. As RedState reported, the Times recounted the stories of three women who had been in relationships with the Bernie Sanders-backed Senate candidate from Maine prior to his marriage in late 2023. The most compelling was told by Lyndsey Fifield, a Virginia woman who the Times wrote "has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns."
How Did Pakistan Become 96 Percent Muslim?
13 replies
Today, 96% of Pakistan's population follows Islam, with most of that percentage adhering to the Sunni tradition. According to Pakistan's constitution, the right to free speech can be restricted to ensure “the glory of Islam."However, Pakistan was once majority-Hindu. It was part of the Indian civilization with significant religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity.
This is no longer the case. Native Hindu and other non-Muslim cultures were systematically and largely erased by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Moreover, attempts at reviving the Hindu and other pre-Islamic names of geographical locations are met with backlash from Muslims in the country.
In the midst of ongoing diplomatic efforts and an ostensible truce, Iran launched missile and drone strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain — countries not even remotely involved in its conflict with Israel and the US — and then revealed that it signed a $25 billion nuclear deal with Russia.
Striking them deliberately during a ceasefire appears just part of Iran's blackmail plan to have its neighbors press US President Trump to permanently end military action against Iran, so that Iran will not attack their oilfields.

The political committee of Democratic Senator Chris Murphy — himself well versed in the "Resistance" talking points against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — is dedicated to resisting President Donald Trump and has funded a prominent left-wing nonprofit that has been at the center of highly organized, “mass mobilization” anti-ICE protests around the country.
Murphy’s newly rebranded Political Action Committee, American Mobilization, donated $100,000 last year to Indivisible, a progressive movement and organization formed in the wake of Trump’s first election in 2016 and dedicated to resisting the Trump agenda, Federal Election Commission records for the PAC show.

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman is roughly one percentage point away from leapfrogging Republican candidate Spencer Pratt in the L.A. mayoral race with 78% of votes counted. After slowly gaining on Pratt for several days, Raman, a Democrat, is still sitting in third with 26.21% of the vote, Saturday night’s latest election numbers show. Pratt, a reality TV star, is now clinging to second with 27.32% of the vote. (Snip) On Saturday morning, Pratt held 28.24% of the vote in the June primary, while Raman trailed by multiple points at 24.89%. She has since gained significant ground in the

Lose Hundreds From Monthly Checks By 2032,
Report Says 29 replies
Millions of Americans who rely on Social Security could see their monthly benefit checks reduced by an average of around $500 if lawmakers don’t address a looming crisis, according to an analysis.
Social Security’s retirement trust fund is projected to become insolvent in 2032, an August 2025 letter from the Social Secutiy Administration’s (SSA) Office of the Chief Actuary read. At that point, the rules of the Social Security Act would make the agency unable to pay full scheduled benefits and require an across-the-board 24% reduction, according to a Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget analysis released Wednesday. The average beneficiary nationwide would lose approximately $500 per month, with retirees
Former first lady Dr. Jill Biden gave an update on former President Joe Biden’s cancer on Saturday, saying that though the 83-year-old will live with cancer for the rest of his life, he maintains a busy schedule, but has slowed down.
Biden explained during a discussion with political commentator and “The View” co-host Ana Navarro for her new book “View From the East Wing: A Memoir,” that while her husband was still president and had a team of doctors, she mentioned that he was getting up seven times a night to go to the bathroom, and she assumed that someone would follow up on that.
Probably the strangest paragraph in the New York Times ‘sneak preview’ write-up of the Obama Library that some people are calling the Obamalisk because of its general ugliness and ominous blot on the Chicago skyline. More creative folks have compared it to a “Klingon prison”, a “Stalinist vertical gulag” and the Dorian Grey picture of the state of Obama’s soul. And things aren’t that much more cheerful on the inside.
So many people who have visited the Obama museum in its “soft launch” have cried that the staff has left out boxes of tissues. “Lots of tears,” said Valerie Jarrett, the chief executive officer of the Obama Foundation. “Lots of tears.”
For years, Denver was one of America's great success stories. Drawn by its snow-capped mountain backdrop, thriving economy and coveted outdoor lifestyle, thousands of Americans flocked to Colorado's capital during and after the pandemic. Home prices surged, cranes filled the skyline and developers raced to keep up with demand. Today, the picture looks dramatically different. Downtown office towers sit eerily empty. Storefronts remain vacant.
Here we go again.
If you have been following the race for mayor of Los Angeles, you have probably noticed that Spencer Pratt’s lead is slowly being eroded and Nithya Raman, the far left Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate keeps gaining.
The explanation for this is very simple. It’s fraud. Raman is benefiting from the state’s system of mail-in ballots, which SOMEHOW always benefits the left. Isn’t it fascinating how ballots that are tabulated after the election always benefit just one side?
NBC News recently admitted this on the air, without a hint of irony.

I remember the scene on the Senate floor. The occasion was the vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act—Obamacare. It came down to John McCain, who hated Donald Trump with a burning passion eclipsing common Trump Derangement Syndrome. As one of his final acts on this Earth, McCain, aping every corrupt, movie Roman Emperor, raised his thumb and ominously, slowly, grinning like an evil lunatic, turned it thumbs down. Obamacare—arguably Obama’s most expensive destructive legacy-- was saved, and not because it has ever worked. McCain saved it out of spite.
That was only one of Obama’s destructive legacies. Jon Gabriel’s classic Twitter post sums up another:
Donald Trump slammed Barack Obama's new $850 million presidential library, with a photoshopped prediction that it would be surrounded by homeless camps within ten years.
A 'giant trash can' is just one of the unflattering comparisons the new center has been called ahead of its opening on the South Side of Chicago on June 19.
And Trump weighed in by posting a photo of the library with a garbage bag on top and homeless encampments surrounding it to Truth Social on Saturday.
Trump wrote over the AI-generated image: 'The Barack Hussein Obama Library, in 10 years, when fully matured!'
McDonald's customers could soon find themselves placing orders with an AI system. The chain is currently piloting an AI-powered drive-thru ordering platform called ArchIQ at five US locations. The effort falls under a broader brand initiative known as McDonald's Next, which was unveiled earlier this week. At the launch, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski stated that customers shouldn't have to choose between "hospitality or speed,” per Fox Business. An X account representing a McDonald's franchisee indicated that Google is involved in the project.
The federal government's Medicaid program is paying Native American shamans in California $826 a day to perform ancient rituals such as drum circles and spiritual dances to treat drug and alcohol addicts. The alternative treatments are part of Democratic governor Gavin Newsom's embrace of "indigenous knowledge," a pseudoscience that claims Native Americans have mystical healing powers that transcend the realm of traditional medicine.
The Biden Department of Health & Human Services gave its approval in October 2024 for California to reimburse Native American "Traditional Healers" with federal Medicaid dollars to treat addicts by drawing on their innate knowledge of ancestral healing rites.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., has confirmed longheld Republican suspicions: Protests are bought and paid for by big donor Democrats.
Murphy admits he has been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars of his donor money to fund left-wing street protest organizations.
Now, he’s telling radicals that the 2028 presidential election might not even take place.
The Connecticut Democrat made the alarming claim at a May 26 book tour event during a Q&A with former NBC journalist Katie Couric to help sell his new book, “Crisis of the Common Good.”
When Couric asked Murphy about his national ambitions, he answered by suggesting the country might not make it to the next election.
