The government of Fujairah, one of the seven emirates of the UAE, stated Monday that an Iranian drone strike had led to a significant fire in a significant oil industrial area. "Competent authorities in the Emirate of Fujairah confirmed a large fire in the Fujairah Petroleum Industries (FOIZ) area, caused by a drone strike originating from Iran," read a statement from the Fujairah Media Office. "Fujairah Civil Defense teams immediately responded to the incident and are continuing their efforts to control it."In a second statement, the Fujairah government confirmed that "three Indian nationals sustained moderate injuries and have been transferred to the hospital to receive the necessary treatment."

Attempts to hit.....DID NOT hit anything. Launched four drones (400 was the norm a couple of months ago) and one crashed on it's own, three shot down. No bad effects on the UAE. Now, there should be a lot of bad effects in Iran around the launch site.

Is Fujairah just willing to let this go and do nothing about it?

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) is already in a precarious position when it comes to keeping his seat in the upcoming midterm elections. His relationship with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) might make things even worse. Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings revealed that the SPLC contributed over $700,000 to his campaign during the 2020 race, according to Fox News. Oddly enough, this places Ossoff in the same category as the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups whose leaders have received oodles of cash from the organization. Ossoff and the SPLC have a longstanding relationship.

As we reported, President Donald Trump imposed a blockade on shipping in and out of Iranian ports. It's put a chokehold on their shipping and the regime's economy. It's obviously been making them very nervous, which is why they put out a new offer to Trump. According to reports, there does appear to be some movement, which would indicate the blockade is working. The problem? You don't get to the important part — the nuclear part — until you've already pulled back and stopped the war. The second stage is where they would appear to potentially give up the uranium.

My colleague Ward Clark reported earlier on Saturday on how Spirit Airlines had finally gone under, after being in financial trouble for years. But as his story noted, one of the big things that may have contributed to their demise was that the Biden administration moved to block a merger with JetBlue that might have helped both companies: As Ward also wrote, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was the brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who celebrated the blocking of the merger in 2024 as a "Biden win for flyers."

President Trump unleashed a fiery but mostly peaceful attack on Democrats Sunday evening, branding them “human garbage” for their latest desperate scheme to meddle in the upcoming midterms. Trump, in a post on his Truth Social media platform, tore into Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Barack Obama’s former Attorney General Eric Holder after the latter was added to a highly partisan, deceptively named “voter integrity” task force. Holder, of course, has been a driving force behind the Democrat party's obsession with rigging the electoral map through his and Obama's “Redistricting U.” operation since 2016.

Some of the most infamous killers in history, including John Lennon assassin Mark David Chapman and “Son of Sam” serial murderer David Berkowitz, could soon be freed if Albany passes a pair of woke parole bills, critics warn. The Elder Parole bill would let violent criminals dodge their minimum sentences, regardless of how heinous their crimes, and be granted early parole hearings after they’ve turned 55 and served 15 years of their sentences. A second lefty measure, the Fair and Timely Parole bill, would require the state parole board to release convicts regardless of the severity of their crimes unless they are a “current” danger to the public

What if social media were treated like tobacco? It might sound like a fantasy, but it’s closer to reality than you might think. Last year, Australia became the first country to ban social media for minors. The law passed the Australian parliament by an overwhelming margin and was wildly popular among Australian adults. Taking a cue, the European Union released an app enabling age verification on social platforms, while a handful of European nations are mulling Australia-style bans. The Canadian government is “very seriously” considering mandatory age limits, while even here in America, the Massachusetts state house recently voted to ban social media for children under 14.

Critics often frame Iranian politics as a struggle between moderates and hardliners, but this distinction has repeatedly proven disastrously misleading. Different styles may appear, but the overarching objective remains the same: preserving the Islamist regime of Iran to continue jihad (holy war). Softer rhetoric has emerged when the regime needed economic rescue or a diplomatic opening. Once the pressure recedes, the underlying strategic behavior remains unchanged. In many ways, so-called "moderates" have historically served as the most effective guardians of the system: they are able to secure concessions from the outside world while preserving the internal order.

President Donald Trump announced that roughly 300,000 illegal aliens in the United States have been removed from Social Security rolls, and added that 100,000 have been removed from Medicare. While speaking at The Villages in Florida, Trump highlighted policies geared towards seniors such as No Tax on Social Security. Trump also spoke about the One Big, Beautiful Bill and how it was “the largest tax cut in American history,” adding that “as a result, more than 51 million American seniors now pay a federal tax rate of zero.” “Together with the Republicans in Congress, we’ve removed nearly 300,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security roll,” Trump said.

President Trump could be preparing a final blow against the Iranian regime, with just 24 hours left before the War Powers Resolution’s 60-day clock expires Friday night. The president told reporters Thursday that, despite the regime’s aggressive posturing, it is privately begging a deal behind closed doors. If the regime instead chooses to continue fighting, the president has been briefed by Central Command on the potential use of a new type of weapon, as well as final military plans the U.S. could pursue to bring the conflict to a definite end.

President Donald Trump's unscheduled visit to a Florida dentist on Saturday has reignited speculation among medical professionals and critics about the 79-year-old's health, with cardiologist and CNN commentator Dr. Jonathan Reiner publicly questioning on social media why the appointment took place outside the White House's on-site dental facility. The White House said the appointment was scheduled and routine, telling the press pool Trump had "a scheduled dental appointment at his local dentist in Florida." But the visit, which was not on the president's public schedule, has drawn questions from doctors, journalists, and political commentators on social media

Speaking to reporters before departing West Palm Beach, Florida, President Trump said he would review the proposal after being briefed only on the “concept of the deal,” noting, “They’re going to give me the exact wording now…

Is Islam good for you? Is it actually beneficial for individuals and societies? These questions have seldom, if ever, been asked. Most people in America today, having been the unwitting victims of a quarter-century of propaganda, assume that Islam, like all other religions, is peaceful and benign, beneficial to both individuals and societies, albeit “hijacked” at the hands of a “tiny minority of extremists,” the likes of which we see in all religious traditions. Yet the constant drumbeat continues: there are jihad attacks around the world virtually every day, and increasingly in the United States. All of their perpetrators insist they acted in accord with Islamic teachings. There is a distressingly

A taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark is getting splash-back for a “Muslims only” event next month after a local Islamic group rented out the facility. A flier for the DFW Epic Eid event on June 1 noted three times that attendance was strictly for Muslims — and modest swimsuits are required. “Seems like a civil rights violation,” one outraged commenter said. “Should we expect a ‘Christians Only’ day?” another commenter asked. Radio host Dana Loesch asked, “How is a taxpayer-funded, city-owned entity allowed to discriminate against non-Muslims at a public water park?” After the backlash, the organizer of the event, Aminah Knight, told The Post that she is backtracking on how

Police were called to a rental house on the city’s north side at around 3:30 a.m. to reports of gunfire, WTHR reported. When officers arrived, they found one woman who was critically wounded. She was rushed to the hospital and later died of her injuries. Cops later received reports of two more victims who had managed to walk into a nearby hospital for treatment. All four victims are believed to have been shot at the same property, a short-term rental where a post-prom party was being thrown.

What would be unpardonable is if US President Donald J. Trump simply replaced a brutal Islamic dictatorship with an equally brutal non-Islamic dictatorship -- as seen in other adversaries of the West such as Russia, China, and North Korea. At the height of the violence in mid-January, Trump memorably told the Iranian protesters that "HELP IS ON ITS WAY", while calling on the anti-regime activists to "seize control of your destiny." Iran is still drawing out negotiations as it reconstructs its nuclear and missile sites. Meanwhile, concerns are growing that Trump is losing interest in the plight of ordinary Iranians. He has recently been stating that he no longer regards regime—
