Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/26/2026 12:02:57 AM
This Memorial Day, President Donald Trump honored our troops and warned our enemies by ordering U.S. Central Command to conduct strikes on the Islamic regime of Iran. Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin said CENTCOM spokesman Captain Tim Hawkins confirmed to Fox that CENTCOM conducted the strikes. The news comes as the negotiations with Iran’s terrorist regime stall, with the regime calling for Trump’s assassination and Trump becoming frustrated with their unwillingness to surrender their nuclear program. Griffin posted Hawkins’ statement. “U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” he said. “Targets included

Will Fail to Retake U.S. Senate Majority

A nonpartisan analysis forecasts that Democrats will fail to retake the U.S. Senate Majority in the midterms, despite the establishment media narrative that Republicans could lose the upper chamber.
An Inside Elections analysis recently provided an updated rating, with the tally forecasting Republicans with 52 seats, Democrats with 45 seats, and three tossups.
More specifically, the analysis showed Maine and Ohio tilting in the GOP’s direction. In Maine, for example, Senate candidate Graham Platner (D) – the left’s presumptive nominee hoping to oust Republican Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) – has continued to go down in flames with resurfaced Reddit posts showcasing shocking remarks
President Donald Trump explained in a Truth Social post on Monday that Iran’s enriched uranium would either be “immediately turned over” to the United States or would be destroyed “in place” in Iran.
In the post, Trump said that if the enriched uranium was not turned over to the U.S. to be “destroyed,” it would be “destroyed in place” in Iran or at another location.
“The Enriched Uranium (Nuclear Dust!) will either be immediately turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed or, preferably, in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location,

The Russian Foreign Ministry on Monday urged foreign nationals to leave Kyiv, after Russian forces conducted a large-scale attack on the Ukrainian capital.
Russian forces are carrying out “consistent and systemic strikes at enterprises of the Ukrainian defence industry … including specific facilities for designing, manufacturing and programming drones and preparing them for operation,” the ministry said in a statement, accusing Ukrainian forces of launching an attack on a Russian university on Friday.
“The strikes will target decision-making centres and command posts,” the ministry continued. “Due to the fact that the above-mentioned facilities are scattered across [Kyiv], we are notifying foreign citizens, including the personnel of diplomatic missions and international organisations
On Sunday, President Donald Trump said the deal that they are working on will involve "no dust, no dollars" and will not be like the failed Iran deal of Barack Obama, that it will be a good deal, or there will be no deal. He clapped back at criticism from people he said didn't know the actual details of the deal. Now, Trump has dropped a big update to the deal — that ultimately, it could turn out to be a more far-reaching peace deal. He said negotiations were proceeding "nicely" with Iran. Trump announced on Truth Social that he had held a conference call at the White House
US President Donald Trump says he has instructed negotiators "not to rush into a deal" with Iran, after earlier suggesting an agreement was close.
The deal under discussion reportedly involves a 60-day ceasefire extension, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and a plan for further negotiations over Iran's nuclear programme.
In a social media post, Trump said "constructive" talks were proceeding but "both sides must take their time and get it right".
Trump said on Saturday an agreement had been "largely negotiated", prompting speculation an announcement could be imminent.
Iranian officials gave similar signals over the weekend
U.S. intelligence shows that Iran's supreme leader is effectively holed up in an undisclosed location with little access to the outside world and is only reached by a labyrinth of couriers, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.
The Iranian officials authorized to work with the Trump administration have been having a difficult time communicating inside of their own government system — and it's a central reason why the details of a potential deal with Iran and past agreements have been slow to emerge.
When the U.S. sends proposed details, the difficulty in reaching the supreme leader means there can be a long delay
Spencer Pratt is taking the Los Angeles mayoral race by storm. He's approaching things with common sense, and focusing on the issues that people care about, like crime and safety, a basic issue in the city.
Meanwhile, the present mayor, Karen Bass, is focusing on things like teeth for meth heads. Now it looks like his approach may be paying off for his campaign - literally. Donations to his campaign are vastly outweighing donations to the campaigns of his opponents. For the filing period April 19 - May 16, Nithya Raman raised $401,000, Karen Bass had $280,000, and Spencer Pratt had $2.72 million.
BrianStelter just posted an amazing photograph of The Late Show’s staff, showing that there were roughly 140-160 people on the Colbert payroll. (I didn’t count heads; that’s ChatGPT’s estimate.) Aside from the fact that this is an amazingly large number for a show where a guy cracks a few (bad) jokes, talks to some celebrity guests, and loses CBS $40 million a year, there’s something striking about the photo: Brian Stelter is thrilled, for reasons that are unclear, but I find it fascinating. That’s because this bastion of Democrat politics, where one would expect to find a huge quota of
FIRST ON FOX: Federal officials have served subpoenas to Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker and CodePink cofounder Susan Medea Benjamin as part of a wider investigation into whether U.S. organizations and leaders violated U.S. laws and sanctions in supporting Cuba's communist regime, Fox News Digital has learned.
Piker and Benjamin are among those caught in a federal inquiry into whether activists who traveled to Cuba in March violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island. The administrative subpoenas were sent to the pair by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
A gunman reportedly opened fire outside the White House Saturday evening, getting off about three shots before he was taken down by a barrage from the Secret Service.
The gunman fired near Gate 17 on the building’s West Side shortly before 6:30 pm. and was soon neutralized, Fox News reporter Chad Pergran said, adding that a civilian who was near by was apparently hit in the fusillade.
After the sound of numerous shots rang out, members of the press who were filming on the White House grounds were seen diving for cover and were told by Secret Service to gather on the north lawn and to run into the press briefing room.
Russian forces launched a large-scale missile attack on Kyiv overnight on May 24, officials reported.
Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground reported hearing what they described as a massive series of missile strikes on Ukraine's capital.
Ukraine's Air Force reported that several missiles were reported flying towards the capital around 12:30 a.m. local time.
Shortly thereafter, the Air Force issued warnings about a possible Russian launch of an Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile targeting Ukraine at 12:55 a.m., although the Kyiv Independent cannot immediately verify if the weapon has been launched.
Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv city military administration, reported at least four impact sites in the Shevchenkivskyi, Dniprovskyi, and Podil districts of Kyiv.

It’s no secret that some humanoid robotics companies are training their machines for work on factory floors, while others are positioning their bots to enter homes in the coming years.
One of the first real signs of humanoids entering homes today is a new cleaning service in San Francisco that uses what appear to be Unitree humanoid robots trained to clean everything from floors and countertops to stovetops, mirrors, and nearly any surface in the house. Called “Gatsby,” the new service deploys humanoid robots to homes for a flat service charge of $150. “We just made U.S. history. Today, Gatsby ran the first-ever consumer cleaning by a humanoid robot
California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer defended transgender athletes competing in high school sports in a podcast posted on Sunday, arguing that excluding transgendered youth from athletics would worsen the emotional and mental health struggles many already face.
"I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school," Steyer told "I've Had It" podcast host Jennifer Welch.
"When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid, and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide, then you think, 'We’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport.' It’s like, no we’re not."

Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press to promote his character and principled superiority to all other congressional representatives, the professional political narcissist, Thomas Massie, pledges to create as much turmoil as possible in his final seven months. Video and Transcript Below: (snip)REP. THOMAS MASSIE: Well, I was the author of the first War Powers Resolution to get us out of Iran. My constituents are hurting. Gas is almost $5 a gallon.(snip) . We don’t know what the terms of it are, but if Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz are crashing out last night, I’d say it’s probably a pretty good deal.
A few weeks ago, I was walking through the halls of Congress and passed Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s office which was decorated with the usual terror flag. Right now people are talking about another congressional candidate who makes a point of rejecting the pledge of allegiance.
Mai Vang is a Sacramento City Councilwoman, and a California congressional candidate for California’s 7th Congressional District. Mai Vang also refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and turns her back on the U.S. flag during public meetings. The Sacramento City Councilwoman has openly boasted about the practice of turning her back on the flag at ceremonies, drawing sharp criticism as she campaigns for higher office.

Democrats weighing 2028 presidential campaigns are seeking ties with Sen. Elizabeth Warren as she works to shape the party’s next White House primary, according to Axios.
Axios reported Monday that Warren, one of the most influential figures in the progressive movement, is being courted publicly and privately by Democrats eyeing 2028 presidential bids, a sign potential candidates are trying to strengthen their standing with the party’s far-left flank.
Warren lost her White House bid in 2020, but Axios noted she later played a major role in shaping President Joe Biden’s administration by helping place allies in his administration. Her moves have also drawn concern from some centrist Democrats, who worry she has
"American Sniper" widow Taya Kyle shredded Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's "cowardly" comments, calling out the progressive Democrat for alleging her late husband inflated his kill numbers by shooting innocent civilians. "Nothing says, I want attention more than disparaging a national hero who's also dead..." Kyle responded on "The Sunday Briefing." "It is cowardly, it's lowbrow to lie about somebody else, and it distracts from what you've probably said..." Kyle accused Platner, a controversial challenger of incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins, of employing a "cheap political trick" to attach his name to someone who is "beloved". "That's working for him

Once again, the U.S. Senate is on vacation. This group barely works, and when they are in session, they accomplish practically nothing. Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, Congress has passed only one major piece of legislation. While the “One Big Beautiful Bill” was a notable accomplishment, it should not have been the only legislative victory for the Republican Congress. During the same period of President Joe Biden’s administration, a Democratic-led Congress passed four major pieces of legislation: the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
Of course, these bills harmed our economy, propelled wasteful spending, and funded ludicrous
Canada's prairie provinces, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, are in some ways more like the western United States than the rest of Canada. They are more independent, more reliant on agriculture and the energy sector, with lower populations, and with a population more inclined to conservative viewpoints. For some time now, the energy-rich province of Alberta has been making noises about seceding from Canada. Now, it looks like that may come to a vote. The Telegraph's Michael Taube has some thoughts on that.
The White House vowed “no dust, no dollars” for Iran on Sunday — asserting that unless the Islamic Republic gives up its enriched uranium, it will get no sanctions relief — as President Trump tapped the brakes on forecasting a peace deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump revealed Saturday that the US and Iran were close on a memorandum of understanding that would get oil flowing again while allowing 30 days for nuclear negotiations.
The plan unleashed panic among some Republicans and Israel backers — prompting Trump officials to clarify that no deal was imminent,
Everyone’s angry with Donald Trump.
It’s true that things are getting ragged with just over five months left until the midterms. The president’s agenda is being stymied in the courts and in Congress by bloody-minded Democrat obstructionism, and by a handful of lily-livered naysayers in his own bare-majority party.
His poll numbers are as bad as they’ve ever been, apart from a rough patch in the aftermath of Jan. 6, 2021.
The war with Iran has hit gas prices and exacerbated the cost of living. It may be heading to some sort of deal, but cheerleaders are thin on the ground.
