Former President Joe Biden told mourners at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s memorial service Friday that he is "a h--- of a lot smarter than most of you," a pointed remark that stood out during his tribute to the late civil rights leader. Biden made the comment while recounting how he was mocked as a child for his stutter and how speech impediments are often mistaken for a lack of intelligence. "If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed," Biden said. "But it’s OK to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid.

For those at home and abroad who don’t know what to make of President Donald Trump’s talk of “unconditional surrender” from Tehran and how the next supreme leader is “not going to last long,” allow us to translate: He expects Iran to find leadership that isn’t committed to an insane Islamist agenda.
That is, one that won’t seek nuclear weapons and ICBMs, sponsor global terror (including efforts to assassinate him) or work to impose Islamist puppet governments across the Middle East — all at the expense of the long-suffering Iranian people.
Call it: Make Iran Normal Again.
Amid fears over their safety, five members of the Iranian women’s soccer squad have left the team’s hotel in Australia and are currently safe with police, a source told CNN Sports.
The players, who’ve been playing in the Women’s Asian Cup in Australia, are at the center of growing calls for their exit from the country to be blocked for fear of persecution in Iran, their home country that’s at war with the US and Israel under a new hardline supreme leader.
Before their first match last Monday, the players stood silent during the Iranian national anthem
Mojtaba Khamenei, born on September 8, 1969, in Mashhad, is the second son of Ali Khamenei, Iran's former supreme leader, who was killed in an Israeli strike on February 28. An 88-member Assembly of Experts named him the Islamic Republic's new supreme leader on March 8, just over a week into a fierce war with the US and Israel.
Mojtaba is often described as enigmatic and, at the same time, one of the most influential figures in Iran's power corridors. He is known to have kept close links with the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which many believe calls the shots in the country.
By blocking a Senate vote that would let the SAVE Act become law, Democrats are setting themselves up for big trouble — since their arguments against voter-ID are so transparently absurd.
Per Pew, 83% of all American adults support requiring some form of ID to vote in US elections — and that includes 71% of Democrats.
Which explains the massive alliance of left-wing groups mobilized to fight the voter-ID measure that should appear on the ballot this fall in California, a state Democrats now completely dominate.
The ACLU, Common Cause and so on would love to derail the measure before it faces a vote, even though
Critics who call Operation Epic Fury folly or a distraction are missing the point: Iran is just one front in an ongoing, evolving global contest that includes Russia and China.
It stretches to other fronts as well, though President Donald Trump has shut down the one in Venezuela and looks to have Cuba headed the same way.
But Tehran is much more entangled with Moscow and Beijing, exchanging arms, technical know-how and intelligence. Even now, Russia is giving Iran high-quality intelligence to target missiles on US installations, experts conclude: Such precision is beyond the limited capabilities of the Islamic Republic’s handful of military-grade satellites.
How Meet the Press Harms Our Democracy

We should all be concerned about serious problems with our elections, the heart of our democracy. But we can’t fix problems that we refuse to face. There was no better example of the head-in-the-sand attitude than what was recently demonstrated by Kristen Welker of NBC’s prestigious Meet the Press, as she held forth with House Speaker Mike Johnson in February, regarding, among other topics, the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. In the wake of the Trump administration’s FBI seizure of 2020 Georgia election records, Welker barked at Johnson that raising questions about the validity of the 2020 election is dangerous to our democracy.

Perhaps we forgot what it’s like when politicians act on their promises.
Perhaps our enemies forgot as well.
For decades, American presidents — Democratic and Republican — have said the theocratic dictatorship in Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. For decades, those same administrations were strung along by the ayatollahs. American negotiators — like their European counterparts — sat through years of negotiations. And every time, the revolutionary government in Iran got closer to the bomb. Well, not this time.
The potential appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei is proving what Israel has long known: It has no intention of ever abandoning its destructive doctrine: Death to America, and death to Israel. Mojtaba Khamenei, the second-eldest son of former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, is reportedly set to succeed his slain father as Iran’s next supreme leader, as the Islamic Republic moves to preserve continuity while battling Israel and the United States.
He has long been considered his father’s chosen heir apparent. He is reported to have formed close ties with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and is thought to have gained increasing control over the regime’s decision-making
State Rep. James Talarico said just that on Tuesday night — "A little bit of hope is a dangerous thing" — and he meant it as a call to action, a summons to the faithful. But the line lingers in the Texas air for a different reason. Democrats are about to invest a great deal of time, money and, yes, hope in the notion that a young state legislator from Round Rock is the man who will break a nearly four-decade winless drought for his party in the Lone Star State.
Hope can animate. It can also delude.
“When riots broke out recently at a prison in Cuba’s Ciego de Avila province, the videos that circulated showed something remarkable,” reports Daniel Allott at The Hill: “Inmates were shouting, ‘Long live Trump!’ ”
Along with a growing dissident movement, this “marks a significant psychological shift inside a nation long defined by resistance to US intervention.” Independent journalist Camila Acosta reports many Cubans “long ago” stopped believing the US embargo was behind “every shortage, every blackout, every empty pharmacy shelf.”
Notes Allot: “When Cubans protest — and there have been hundreds of demonstrations since July 2021 — they do not chant ‘Down with the embargo.’ They chant ‘Down with [President Miguel] Díaz-Canel.’
Gavin Newsom endorsed the lie Tuesday that Israel is an “apartheid” state — a damning sign of where the Democratic Party is headed, and how far it’s already sunk.
At an event promoting his new book, the California governor said Israel’s critics are “appropriately” calling it an “apartheid” state — i.e., a knockoff of South Africa’s old segregationist regime.
This is a lie — one so egregious that many deem it a form of antisemitism.
Apartheid South Africa denied blacks the vote and forced them to endure separate hospitals, separate schools, and even separate bathrooms.
Arabs, 20% of Israel’s population, vote and serve in the government and even the military; there is no segregation

On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said President Donald Trump had not made the case for the military action in Iran.
Warner said, “Americans are paying $122 million a day extra in gas coming right out of their pockets, that, combined with the declining job numbers, that combined with the stock market crashing, going into this war without I don’t feel like the appropriate preparation or having made the case the American public, I think we’ve got a lot of explaining to do. We don’t know how long Iran will last. The notion and I heard the general earlier, I think
His “Glory Days” with some fans have passed him by. Bruce Springsteen’s fans are furious over the legendary rocker’s astronomical ticket prices for his upcoming “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour, which critics argue are unaffordable for his “working class fanbase” and contradict his Man of the People image. The woke New Jersey billionaire is pushing the anti-President Trump “No Kings” agenda in his advertising campaign for the 20-date tour with his E Street Band — but is ironically charging prices fit for royalty, at up to $3,000 a ticket. “I couldn’t be more disappointed in the Boss … how
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA (AP) — Across the country, progressives are lighting a fire that they hope will catapult Democrats back to power in Congress this year. But here in a hotel ballroom, the party’s beleaguered moderates have another message — not so fast.
Leaders at Third Way’s conference talked over and over about how Democrats can’t swing too far left in the midterms, or when picking their next presidential nominee, if they have any hope of winning back the White House.
The title of the two-day, invite-only conference: “Winning the Middle.” And there was plenty of advice on how to do that. Be plainspoken, not lofty or academic. Don’t live online, but
A leaked draft of the UK Government’s new ‘social cohesion’ strategy has sparked outrage by labeling the flying of English, Scottish, and Union Jack flags as potential “tools of hate.”
The document claims these national symbols were sometimes used last summer to “exclude or intimidate,” adding that the “extreme right has tried to turn symbols of pride into tools of hate.”
The 47-page draft, leaked to the Spectator magazine, also highlights how antisemitism has become “normalised in many corners of society” from schools and universities to workplaces and the NHS.

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s son ripped former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for using the late civil rights icon’s memorial service to take shots at President Trump.
Jesse Jackson Jr. said the grandstanding Democrats didn’t really know his father, after they used their eulogies to bash the president, his policies, and his vision for America during Friday’s star-studded send-off.
“Yesterday, I listened for several hours to three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” the grieving son said Saturday during a private memorial service at Rainbow Push Coalition headquarters in Chicago.He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were white or black,
Conservative icon and Hollywood legend James Woods has announced he’s ditching the Republican Party. Woods, a fierce patriot and vocal supporter of President Trump, blasted the “uniparty traitors” in a fiery post on X, declaring, “I am done with the Republican Party.” Woods’ decision comes amid growing frustration with Senate Republican leadership, particularly cowardly Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), who has continuously stalled the crucial SAVE Act, a bill designed to safeguard American elections by requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration.[snip] “I’m changing my party affiliation to Independent.
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said the Trump administration “fails to understand how to achieve any of their objectives” in Iran.
Host Jake Tapper said, “So as I just referenced this morning on Axios, two very Well-sourced reporters in the administration, Barak Ravid, Marc Caputo for Axios are reporting that the US is weighing, they have not made a decision, but are weighing sending in special forces to specifically seize Iran’s enriched uranium. You heard Senator Tillis say that might necessitate congressional authorization for use of force. What’s your reaction?”
Murphy said, “I mean, this is already a war that is becoming an ongoing disaster.
Jesse Jackson's funeral was held Friday at the House of Hope on Chicago's South Side. Every major Democrat who still matters showed up: Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Jill Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
That’s right: sitting with a bunch of other couples, Barack Obama once again went stag. The Obamas themselves issued a joint statement about Jackson's death that made Michelle's absence on Friday all the more glaring. "Michelle got her first glimpse of political organizing at the Jacksons' kitchen table when she was a teenager," the statement read. "And in his two historic runs for president, he laid the foundation for my own campaign

In deep-red Texas, the Democrats have chosen a Senate candidate whose Christian faith the party hopes will be a potent weapon, but whose unorthodox views range from God is nonbinary to there are six sexes.
“God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between,” said James Talarico, a state representative and, now, the Democratic nominee for Senate. “God is nonbinary.”
Progressive Christianity may be a hard sell
The statement is part of dozens of claims about God, Christianity, and morality that Talarico has made on the campaign trail, and before he ran for higher office, geared towards “[reclaiming] Christianity for the left.”

A Canadian parliament debates legislation to criminalize supposed hate speech, comments against "gender ideology" in the curriculum have already cost a former British Columbia school board member the equivalent of more than half a million U.S. dollars.
A nurse who got kicked out of her own union for gender-critical views said the verdict against ex-Chilliwack Board of Education trustee Barry Neufeld shows "I do not have a snowball’s chance in hell" before the same quasi-judicial body.
The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ordered Neufeld to pay $750,000 Canadian to all LGBTQ-identified members of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association for "injury to their dignity, feelings, and self-respect," citing discrimination in employment, hate speech

Arizona’s largest county as voting probe expands 16 replies
The FBI is expanding its criminal probe into suspected election irregularities, secretly obtaining a large tranche of voting records from Arizona’s largest county with a recent grand jury subpoena, multiple people familiar with the probe told Just the News.
The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving gigabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.
