London — UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer suffered a fresh blow on Thursday after Secretary of Defense John Healey resigned over a budget dispute, saying the government is not willing to give the British Armed Forces the “resources they need.” Soon after, Minister of State for the Armed Forces Al Carns also announced his resignation in a letter posted to X, saying that the government is “failing” to give the armed forces what they need to do the job and the “loyalty to stand by them when it’s done.” Starmer, whose government’s popularity has collapsed just two years after a landslide general election victory,

How Close Deal Is 1 reply
We reported earlier how President Donald Trump lit up the Iranian state media for leaks that they were claiming about the deal that is about to be finalized.
As we noted, the regime's foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed the deal was close to being finalized.
Now, in what has to be a first, the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, scolded the Iranian media for what they had reported about the deal, indicating they were getting things wrong. Then, Trump quoted Araghchi, probably another first. Araghchi said:
The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been closer. Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content.

As the old saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for."
Spencer Pratt released a concession video of sorts Friday morning, and after Karen Bass and Nithya Raman watch it, they'll wish the mail ballot fraud scheme to elevate Raman had never taken place. Pratt says he's moving on from the "campaign phase of [his] mission to save Los Angeles to the next, more interesting phase," reminding people that his goal wasn't to become mayor, but to expose the corrupt machine - and that he's laser focused on doing just that.//snip//So Karen, Nithya, ask yourselves, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording

On Friday morning, Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in recorded human history. SpaceX began trading on the Nasdaq, opened 11 percent above its suggested IPO price, and Forbes estimated its net worth had crossed $1.1 trillion before noon Eastern. No person had ever done this before. Not even close.
SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share on Thursday night, locking in a valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion before a single share changed hands.
That made it the largest IPO in history, surpassing Saudi Aramco's $29 billion raise in 2019 by more than $45 billion.
The company set its price before
Will James Talarico sell in Texas? Given his history of promoting racialism in public schools and participation in Defund the Police efforts, it's not even clear whether the Democrats' nominee for the US Senate could win Austin.
Democrats have tried to package the state legislator as a centrist who can connect with Texans in the suburbs, exurbs, and rural precincts of the Lone Star State. They hope especially to push his time in a Presbyterian seminary as a way to connect to Christian voters, particularly with the controversial Ken Paxton as his Republican opponent. As the Free Beacon reported yesterday, however, Talarico has spent his political career advancing
A man who opened fire in the West Texas city of Midland in an attack Friday morning that left one person dead and 10 injured had shot at police just days earlier during a chase, authorities said.
The suspect, 45-year-old Victor Mata Villarreal, already was being sought by authorities when he began firing at officers and bystanders in Midland on Friday before barricading himself in an abandoned veterinary clinic, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Villarreal was found dead inside the building
Democrats have been losing Latino voters in droves to President Trump and many Republicans, to the consternation of many leftist leaders, all of whom view Latino voters as 'their' voters, as loyal as black voters to Democrats; "their" property. They always have.
So, one of them decided to hire a leftwing consultant to try to sort it out for them: Turns out ethnic pandering -- the politics of building ethnic blocs and representational box checking, and diversity based on skin tone -- doesn't impress them much.
According to the New York Times:

The Cleveland Clinic has reached a settlement with the Trump administration over pediatric gender-transition treatments, becoming the second major hospital system to do so in less than a month. Under the agreement, the hospital will stop providing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors, commit $2 million to detransition care, and pay $308,000 to resolve billing allegations
The agreement, announced on Friday by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, follows a similar settlement with Texas Children's Hospital announced in mid-May. As RedState reported at the time, Texas Children's agreed to pay $10 million, cease providing pediatric gender-transition interventions,
Peace In Iran?

President Trump says an agreement with the IRGC has been reached “in both concept and great detail,” and has suspended further bombing for the time being: Trump subsequently had a brief call with the New York Post in which he said, “It’s pretty much all wrapped up.” Whether this time is different from the many previous occasions on which the President has said that a deal is very close, remains to be seen.
The financial markets are buying it, though: the Dow surged 1,000 points on the news.
The imminent deal ensuring Iran will never have a nuclear weapon was “the whole purpose” of the war, President Donald Trump explained Thursday at a press briefing announcing that a peace agreement will likely be officially signed in the next few days.
“Just had a big day,” Pres. Trump told reporters, noting that the deal is “subject to finalization of documents” at a signing ceremony expected to take place in Europe, perhaps over the upcoming weekend.
The signing will immediately trigger the end to the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the president said:
“The strait will officially open as soon as we sign

Convicted killer Karmelo Anthony has claimed he’s “penniless” and can’t afford a lawyer for his appeal — despite his family collecting $625,000 in crowdfunding for his legal defense and “living expenses,” according to a report.

Anthony — who was moved to a Texas state prison Wednesday — is “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,” reads the appeal form.

While Spencer Pratt ran on a platform that involved cleaning up Los Angeles’ filthy streets and sprawling homelessness, his far-left rivals allegedly used those homeless individuals as a cheap way to pad their vote counts.

President Trump expressed frustration with Iran after its Foreign Ministry said Tehran “had not reached a final conclusion” on any peace agreement.
The president called them “very dishonorable people to deal with” and warned, “they had better get their act together and fast!”
His threat comes amid confusion about the status of the peace deal and its contents, given that Iranian and US officials have given contradictory statements on the subject.

Radical left-wing actress Jane Fonda will headline a so-called “free speech” event to counter President Donald Trump’s UFC Freedom 250 event on June 14.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced Thursday that the Trump administration has located 146,000 unaccompanied migrant children who were trafficked into the United States during the Biden administration and subsequently lost.
During a news conference at the Department of Justice with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and other Trump administration officials, Mullin credited a joint effort between DHS, ICE and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for finding the missing children, which he said President Trump has made a high priority.
Unfortunately, nearly 300,000 minors remain unaccounted for, according to Mullin, although officials continue to search for them.N

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a top contender to be the Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, has a history of downplaying the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood — now designated a terrorist group by the U.S. — and even defended a brazen power grab by the Islamist group’s leader during the Brotherhood’s brief reign in Egypt.
El-Sayed, who is seeking to be the first Muslim in the U.S. Senate, signed onto a 2012 statement which defended the Muslim Brotherhood’s rule of Egypt and further defended a massive power grab by Mohammed Morsi, the leader of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.
