President Donald Trump said that the United States is in “heated negotiations” over the Iran war, declining to elaborate on the talks. “I can’t tell you, because right now we’re in heated negotiations,” Trump told Fox News in a brief phone interview when asked how he’s feeling about talks. Trump said that he was about to be fully briefed on Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s proposed two-week ceasefire — to which the White House told CNN earlier Tuesday “a response will come.”

Tehran, Iran – United States President Donald Trump says daily life could be different for more than 90 million Iranians on Wednesday, after his deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz expires. Trump says that Iran’s electricity, bridges, and other critical infrastructure will be bombed if it does not open the vital waterway, despite the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure being a violation of international law. In the last hours before the 8pm US Eastern Time (23:00 GMT) deadline approaches, Iranians are left to worry about the consequences of attacks that Trump has threatened would be the death of “a whole civilisation“.

Late last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) wife appeared at something called the Common Sense Summit on Kids and Families in San Francisco and bragged about coming legislation that will force tech companies to “be a force for good” when it comes to stopping boys from becoming Republican-curious. Of course, “a force for good” will be Gavin and Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s definition of “good,” which means that queering and transing kids is a virtue while conservative beliefs become illegal.

President Trump used his Truth Social account to warn Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight” unless “something revolutionarily wonderful” happens. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump warned. “However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?” “We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World,” the president added. “47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

Iranian authorities are urging young people, students, artists, athletes, and volunteer groups to form “human chains” around power plants across the country just hours before President Donald Trump’s deadline for a deal expires, effectively gathering civilians at infrastructure sites the United States has explicitly threatened to strike. The campaign, promoted through Iran’s Ministry of Sports and Youth, is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday local time — roughly 13 hours before Trump’s 8 p.m. Eastern deadline — and has been branded “Human Chain of Iran’s Youth for a Bright Future.”

The United States struck military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island overnight, a White House official said Tuesday. Kharg Island is the lifeline of Iran’s oil economy, as roughly 90 percent of the country’s crude oil is handled there. An official told NBC News the strikes were on the northern side of the island and did not strike any oil facilities; instead, they hit military bunkers and other storage and military facilities. No troops on the ground were involved. This is the second time the U.S. has struck the island after an initial strike last month.

HOUSTON (AP) — After traveling deeper into space than any other humans, the Artemis II astronauts pointed their moonship toward home Monday night, wrapping up a lunar cruise that revealed views of the far side never beheld by eyes until now. Their flyby of the moon even included some celestial sightseeing besides yielding rich science — a significant step toward landing boot prints near the moon’s south pole in just two years. A total solar eclipse greeted the three Americans and one Canadian as the moon temporarily blocked the sun from their perspective. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn nodded at them from the black void.

The dramatic and sprawling two-day operation to save the crew of an F-15E Strike Eagle shot down over Iran on April 3 involved hundreds of personnel, dozens of aircraft—and multiple close calls. In an April 6 press briefing at the White House, President Trump and top government officials walked reporters through how the massive rescue operation unfolded and outlined new details of the risky, high-stakes operation. Trump, who spoke alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, called the successful operation “one of the largest, most complex, most harrowing

The Trump administration is once again restoring sanity to government regulation and saving trillions of dollars by taking on one of the most preposterous of climate regulations. Perhaps Barack Obama’s most egregious power grab and most preposterous set of regulations regarded so-called greenhouse gases, which are simply the gases emitted by nearly all things, especially living things, including humans. For instance, climate alarmists consider carbon, which is the chemical basis for all life on earth, a greenhouse gas. In a sense, Obama was trying to regulate life itself and indeed the entire physical world when he claimed that the government could regulate greenhouse gases under an Environmental Protection Agency

Being on X all the time, I see a lot of deranged behavior. Not all of it comes from the left, of course. There is another end of the horseshoe that is as disgusting as what you find on the left. The primary difference is that the left is busy arguing that their psychopaths are the good guys. When anti-ICE activists try to run over a federal agent, it is she who becomes the hero. When Luigi Mangione shoots an innocent man, he becomes a rock star and a "moral" man. For a long time, the Democrats and liberals mostly egged on the insanity by using triggering language, but

On Friday, the New York Times delivered a malaprop for the ages. In a piece by Steven Erlinger about the prospect of the U.S. pulling out of NATO, the paper misidentified that organization as the “North American Treaty Organization.” It was more than a stumble from the “Paper of Record” that could deliver the usual blithe digital scrubbing; this disaster made its way to the print edition. It would take a full day to address this fumble, and one that is not easily memory-holed. There was no shortage of gleeful pointing taking place across social media when this played out over the weekend, but there is a significance to this.

When you think about Delaware, you’re probably not thinking about shady financial firms or Joe Biden, but I repeat myself, still you may want to think about something else because the state has named January ‘Muslim Heritage Month’. Indeed, nothing says Muslim heritage like Delaware. What brought on this particular bout of Islamization? The resolution came from Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton. We covered her in our first edition of Election Jihad for making a scene by screeching about ‘genocide’ at Kamala Harris. Wilson-Anton, the first Muslim elected in Delaware, has all sorts of thoughts about Islamic terrorism.

Leave it to the woke left to ignore, well, reality. In the latest episode of Woke Progressives Gone Wild, former women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe is back to her usual shenanigans, denying biology in favor of having dudes play in women's sports. You'd think, having been a soccer player, a sport which I am given to understand required speed, strength, agility, and endurance, she's know better; but, clearly, she doesn't know, or care, about the differences between men and women. Former U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe ripped the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for implementing a new policy to ensure fairness across women’s competitions.

The leader of a trade group that represents most major automakers called on the federal government to eliminate its gasoline tax and replace it with a vehicle fee to finance road infrastructure needs. Alliance for Automotive Innovation CEO John Bozzella, whose group represents automakers such as General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai and other leading car manufacturers, put forward a proposal that urged the federal government to address the growing shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund with a vehicle fee. The proposal would function like a vehicle registration fee that’s assessed on all vehicles based on their weight, and was first reported by Reuters. It comes as the federal government’s

Pope Leo XIV used part of his Palm Sunday message to castigate the United States for attempting to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power and threatening the world with mass destruction. In doing so, the "American Pope" confused the real enemy in the war. Addressing thousands in St. Peter's Square, the Pope claimed that God rejects the prayers of leaders who wage war. He called the Iran war "atrocious" violence that cannot be justified by faith. He further said that God doesn't hear the prayers of people whose "hands (are) full of blood."

On Monday’s CNN This Morning, the panel on the Audie Cornish-hosted program started with more accusations of U.S. war crimes from panelist Sarah Fitzpatrick of The Atlantic and Kim Dozier, a CNN Global Affairs Analyst. Fitzpatrick said the US will be “turning off incubators for babies,” while Dozier claimed the US is about to violate the Geneva Conventions like Russia had in Ukraine. Furthermore, at the end of the hour-long morning show, a discussion ensued between Cornish and Fitzpatrick, which worried almost only about the “cost” of the rescue mission of a U.S. Military pilot.

The U.S. government is using AI to locate and arrest migrants who are accused of being in the United States illegally. According to several reports, the Department of Homeland Security is hiring a litany of private contractors and giving them the names of thousands of migrants. The contractors are then using artificial intelligence to find the migrants. The process of using AI, public records, databases, online information and surveillance is called “skip tracing.” It’s been used by debt collectors, bail bondsmen and private investigators for years. But reports say DHS is paying private companies billions of dollars to use this process to find migrants for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
