Donald Trump's efforts to reach an agreement with Iran on ending its nuclear program just got a lot more complicated.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a "comprehensive" report on Iran's nuclear program requested by the agency's 35-member board. The report confirmed that Iran had been carrying out clandestine nuclear activity at three sites long suspected of conducting weapons research. It also concluded that Iran had vastly increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), spinning up 50% more as of May 17 than they had previously reported. That translates into the capability to construct up to nine nuclear bombs.
Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler slammed President Trump for “sowing chaos” nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office.
The lawmaker’s verbal tirade came after Department of Homeland Security officers entered the Big Apple office Wednesday and accused his staff of “harboring rioters” in a dramatic confrontation caught on video.
“President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidating tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,”
The late Irving Kristol defined a neoconservative “as a liberal who got mugged by reality.”
It turns out the process was not limited to people of an earlier era, as the ongoing saga of Jake Tapper illustrates.
The CNN anchor has been a reliable cheerleader for all things Democrat and a snide anti-Trumper, but dramatically broke ranks by daring to co-author a book about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the White House cabal that tried to conceal it from the public.
For his trouble, Tapper is being mocked by former allies and labeled a traitor,
Lester Holt hosted his last “NBC Nightly News” show on Friday after a 14 year tenure as its anchor. The highly decorated reporter bid viewers a farewell by reminding them of their core values that guide the team’s coverage.

Trump’s announcement came at U.S. Steel’s Irvin Works in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, where he held a rally celebrating the “planned partnership” between U.S. Steel and Japanese company Nippon Steel to keep U.S. Steel in America.
“Today, I have a major announcement, and are you ready to hear this?” Trump asked the crowd, drawing cheers.
We are going to be imposing a 25 percent increase–we’re going to bring it from 25 percent to 50 percent the tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States,” Trump said. “Nobody’s going to get around.
Palestinians picking up food packages from the Trump administration-backed American alternative to the United Nations (UN) in Gaza were reportedly shocked the aid was free, having become used to being charged for it. As Breitbart News reported, the new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was launched to provide an alternative to the UN, which either fails to deliver trucks of aid or allegedly lets Hamas steal the supplies.
Hamas then keeps the aid (especially fuel) for itself, sells the aid on the black market, or makes Palestinians pay inflated prices for it.
According to an official press release from the U.S. Coast Guard, the “seized contraband was the result of four interdictions in the Eastern Pacific by the crew of Coast Guard Cutter Thetis and an embarked MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron based out of Jacksonville, Florida.”
The four incidents happened May 3, May 5, May 6, and May 10. On May 3, for example, a maritime patrol aircraft “located two suspicious vessels approximately 170 miles west of Mexico,” ultimately seizing 4,630 pounds of cocaine.
“The Coast Guard transferred 4,608 pounds of cocaine from this case to Ecuadorian government officials to aid them in their prosecution efforts,”
In the olden days, the world was run on a feudal system. There were a handful of mostly inter-related nobles who lived in palaces, wore fancy clothes, and ate sumptuous food. They were served by a large class of serfs who did the unpleasant things like digging latrines, plowing fields, slaughtering animals, tanning leather, and all of the other work needed for the nobles to live in luxury. In return, the nobles kept the serfs from starving but generally oppressed them and sometimes did so gratuitously for their own amusement.
Donald Trump says he is firing the first female director of the National Portrait Gallery, which contained a caption that referenced the attack on the US Capitol that his supporters carried out in early 2021.
The president announced the termination on Friday in a post on his social media platform that accused Sajet – born in Nigeria, raised in Australia and a citizen of the Netherlands – of being “a strong supporter” of diversity initiatives that his administration opposes as well as “highly partisan”. He cited no evidence for either claim.
Planned Parenthood celebrates the fact that it aborted – slaughtered – 402,230 babies last year, according to its latest report. That’s over 1,100 lives a day – the most ever. Last year, taxpayers were forced to give another three-quarters of a billion dollars to the abortion giant – almost $800 million. That’s nearly $2.2 million of our tax dollars every single day. It appears life is good for Planned Parenthood post-Dobbs, a case in which we filed helping overturn Roe v. Wade. Now it’s time to stop funding the abortion industry once and for all. Join us by adding your name to our petition: Defund Planned Parenthood Now.
At least 10 hospital executives from Nassau University Medical Center, including its CEO, have put in their resignations in response to what they called a “hostile takeover” by Gov. Kathy Hochul, according to sources in the hospital.
CEO Meg Ryan confirmed to The Post that she and other leaders in the hospital have resigned effective in July, so that they can help oversee the hospital board’s transition, she revealed.
“[New York State] has made it very clear that they do not want me to be in the CEO role,” Ryan told The Post about her decision to step down. “It was the hardest decision I had to make in my career.”
Andrew Cuomo was dealt another blow by the city’s campaign finance watchdog, which dinged him another $675,000 Friday over suspicions his mayoral campaign improperly coordinated with a super PAC.
The New York City Campaign Finance Board has now denied the former governor a total of $1.3 million in public matching funds — which could hamper the frontrunner as the June 24 Democratic primary approaches and surging socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani nips at his heels.
The ex-gov first lost out on around $622,000 in matching funds last month when the CBC said it believed a TV ad was created by “Fix the City” —

Man, it must be brutal being a Democrat right now, breathlessly waiting for the '28 presidential election so you can finally get Trump out of your head and get a good old progressive back in the Oval Office. The problem? The potential candidate list so far is laugh-out-loud pathetic, a sad list of mostly failed “leaders” who almost all carry mountains of political baggage around their necks. You’ve got to choose between the Queen of Emptiness and Word Salads, former Democrat presidential nominee and VP Kamala Harris, the walking meme that is NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the not ready for prime time Illinois governor,
As a committed interventionist, John Bolton is, you’ll be shocked to learn, not on board with eliminating the Deep State’s cash cow that is USAID.
In voicing his dissatisfaction with the work of DOGE vis-à-vis USAID, he also pledged to bring back Voice of America, the U.S. government’s global propaganda machine. (For the last decade and longer, prior to its dismantling by the Trump administration, Voice of America had also distributed its content domestically, explicitly targeted at a domestic audience, illegally.)

Not content with claiming the Earth is going to spontaneously combust if all the world's nations don't send their residents back to the Stone Age, climate change activist Greta Thunberg is now headed to Gaza. As is always the case with communists, the cause is never the cause. It's just a means to an end, so the target is constantly shifting. Thunberg has decided that donning a keffiyeh and falsely screaming "genocide" will garner her the most attention at this moment.
In her latest stunt, she is now on a sailboat from Italy that is supposedly headed to Gaza to "break the siege."
Donald Trump was not given a heads-up about Ukraine’s unprecedented drone strikes that took out a huge fleet of Russian planes on Sunday, according to reports.
Ukraine’s “large-scale” drone attack launched deep into Russian territory wiped out 40 military bombers and targeted five bases, Ukrainian security sources told CBS News.
The attack took over a year and a half to plan and was personally supervised by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the sources added.
Ukrainian officials did not give the Trump administration advance notice of the attack, both Ukrainian and U.S. officials told Axios.
It’s Graduation Time Again

Americans may not have as many rituals as some other peoples do, but we have some. One of those is graduation, symbolizing the transition from one stage of life to another and a celebration of a young person’s accomplishments. (We may actually overdo these, as what was once a transition from college and high school studies is now often celebrated from even pre-nursery school.) Still, it plays a significant part of life, structuring time and change. Parents and grandparents who sat through boring recitals, sports events, prize days, supported kids dealing with difficult interpersonal issues,
An Egyptian national who came into the country two years ago and overstayed his visa has been charged in the gruesome terror attack that left six people injured in Boulder, Colo., Saturday, authorities said.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested at the scene, (Snip) Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sources told Fox News Soliman is in the country illegally as a visa over-stay, who came in during the Biden administration.
He allegedly flew into the U.S. on Aug. 27, 2022, arriving at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa. Soliman was authorized to stay through Feb. 26, 2023, but never left,

Have you considered that you simply don't hate the press enough? If you think you do, you might find yourself reconsidering after reading this latest story.
As RedState reported, a pro-Palestinian terrorist in Colorado threw Molotov cocktails at peaceful marchers as they silently remembered the hostages being held by Hamas. The attack took place in Boulder, injuring at least five people. Police arrested Mohamad Soliman at the scene, with videos showing him shouting "Palestine is free" and "end Zionists" as he attempted to burn innocent people alive. [Tweet, video]
In the aftermath of such an attack,
If you’re old enough to remember when Bill Clinton was president, you would recall that he was a silver-tongued, energetic politician who could fire up his supporters and excite the Democrat base—that is, at least, until he met Monica Lewinsky.
There is little of that fire left in the two-term president, as he has for some time now seemed low-energy and not particularly passionate. On Sunday, however, he showed that he can still drop some all-time whoppers when the time is right.
Appearing on “CBS Sunday Morning,” the former president minimized the mental decline of Joe Biden
Multiple press outlets, including Fox News, the Associated Press, CNN, the BCC, and other outlets, ran with a report early Sunday morning claiming Israeli forces randomly opened fire on civilians gathered to collect aid. Sourced by the "health officials" and "witnesses," the claim involved dozens being killed and "at least" 175 injured. Here are some excerpts from Fox News' report, which largely regurgitates the Associated Press' reporting.
A hate-fueled suspect launched a “targeted terror attack’’ in Colorado on Sunday — setting at least one woman on fire as he screamed, “End Zionists!” and lobbed molotov cocktails at people commemorating Israeli hostages still in Gaza, officials said.
Video footage captured the alleged attacker — who law-enforcement sources identified to The Post as Mohammed Soliman — in the middle of a tirade about Palestine and calling for death to “Zionists” before he tossed the fiery containers.
“They are killers! How many children you killed?” he shouted.
Ukrainian forces have wiped out dozens of Russian military aircraft, including nuclear bombers, in a massive drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s air bases deep inside the country, Kyiv sources are claiming.
The mission carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) using first-person-view (FPV) drones hit 41 Russian heavy bombers at four separate airfields thousands of miles from Ukraine, a security source told the Kyiv Independent on Sunday.
The drones were reportedly smuggled into the country hidden in trucks.
TU-95 “Bear” nuclear bombers, TU-22 “Backfire” fast-attack strike bombers and A-50 “Mainstay” command-and-control jets were among the aircraft that were destroyed in the strike, according to reports.
