EVIAN – German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had a belated birthday gift for President Trump: a Germany soccer jersey with the number 47 on the back and “TRUMP” written on it.
Merz gifted it to the president at a meeting Tuesday the G7 leaders were having with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.Before the meeting formally began, Merz made his way to his seat where he picked up the gift and took it to Trump, holding it up to show off the number and presidential name.Trump appeared to thank him and put the jersey on the table with his things.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) made a series of sensational claims on Monday, accusing President Donald Trump‘s Department of Justice (DOJ) of personally targeting both him and his wife for no good reason. But according to a Trump administration official, the investigation involving the corrupt governor and his wife began under the Biden-Harris administration.Newsom’s government is under a new investigation federal authorities launched into election fraud in California after evidence of bribery and ballot harvesting, along with stunning changes in state and city election results a week into “counting.” But when the Democrat governor griped on Monday about federal investigation into him and “First Partner” Jennifer Siebel Newsom,

As I wrote last week, public schools are depopulating on a large scale for a variety of reasons, including a declining birth rate, the fact that many of them don’t offer a worthy product, the advancement of school choice, and others. Colleges are faring even worse for many of the same reasons. In January, Arthur Levine, president of Brandeis University, asserted that 20 percent to 25 percent of colleges will close in the coming years.
Similarly, the Hechinger Report projects that 442 of the nation’s 1,700 private, nonprofit four-year colleges and universities, representing 670,000 students, are at risk of closing or merging over the next 10 years.

In our enlightened age the public seems tirelessly bombarded with warnings of existential threat from infectious disease. Another distant outbreak is spreading, this time it could be Disease X! ‘And there is no vaccine!’ How, one might ask, is our species still extant?
A few decades ago, life was less torn by impending doom. Public health officials were investigating diarrhoea outbreaks linked to the local café. The Woodstock festival of 1969 happened during the last large influenza pandemic, and no one really noticed let alone wore a mask. They just listened to the music, lived as their ancestors had, and somehow managed to expand the species.

Massachusetts is the place where the American Revolution kicked off, and all because the British came to enforce gun control. Today, most in the state seem more likely to have helped the Redcoats than their fellow Americans, as the one-time colony that birthed much of the revolutionary fervor that eventually gave us the Second Amendment is now more likely to stomp on people's rights.
But not everyone in the state feels that way. There's a pro-gun movement there, and they managed to get some items on the ballot in November that, if successful, would serve as a massive blow to the anti-gun Democrats who run the state.

Oil prices fell sharply on Sunday after President Trump announced that the U.S. and Iran had agreed to a peace deal. Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell by around four percent to below $84 a barrel, the lowest price since March 5. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, fell by nearly five percent to below $81 a barrel.
“With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!” President Trump said Sunday evening.
Stock futures tied to U.S. equities market climbed on the news.

Crude oil prices sank to their lowest levels since at least March, and gasoline prices are expected to start dipping within a week or two, following President Trump’s announcement of an agreement with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude oil prices dropped 4.8% Monday to settle at $83.17 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude plunged nearly 5% to $80.75 a barrel. US oil had briefly dropped below the $80 mark for the first time since March in early trading.
Though still higher than pre-war prices, the crude benchmarks fell to three-month lows after earlier hitting as high as $126 a barrel during the Middle East conflict.

The real obstacle to peace has never been the Iranian nation. It is the regime that governs Iran against the will and aspirations of its own people—a regime that behaves less like a normal state than like a revolutionary-security cartel.
Iran cannot be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon—not under this framework, not after sixty days, not in five years, not through ambiguity, delay, concealment, or the gradual normalization of violations.
The nuclear file cannot be postponed into irrelevance while sanctions relief, oil access, and frozen assets are granted upfront. Any serious diplomatic process must begin with verifiable commitments,

Years ago, when my oldest son was a Boy Scout, he was asked to write a report/make a presentation on a modern American “hero.” He chose Elon Musk, and I, of course, rolled my eyes so hard they nearly popped out of my head. I knew Musk was a successful businessman, but I also knew that he was both an advocate for and a seasoned manipulator of Big Government. Tesla, for example, received a $465 million Department of Energy loan in 2010 under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, a Big Government scheme to encourage private companies to advance Big Government priorities (namely, fighting Climate Change by reducing carbon emissions).

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know by now that with SpaceX’s Initial Public Offering (IPO), Elon Musk has become the world’s first trillionaire. The implications of this for all of us and our grandchildren are many and far-reaching. Of course, the left has found a way to narrow it all down to one simple idea: “His money is our money, or it should be.”
That’s not the way they say it. What leftists actually are saying is he doesn’t pay enough in taxes. Why? For the sole reason that he’s rich. If you’re a leftist, rich people are never paying “their fair share.”

The hypocrisy is thick with these two. As it often is with the communists and socialists running amok in the Democrat party.
Self-proclaimed democratic socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani—who just scored himself free, exclusive, high-value tickets to multiple World Cup matches—was caught lounging in a luxury suite alongside New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) at the Brazil vs. Morocco opener.
Judging by the photos posted on social media, the dynamic duo is enjoying some champagne-adjacent perks as they sit aloft in the high-priced boxes. Looking down on the plebeians below.

Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland last week won New Mexico’s gubernatorial primary, with a 2-to-1 lead over her opponent. She’ll be up against Republican nominee Gregg Hull in November’s general election. A lot could happen between now and then. But considering the state's political history, there's a good chance Haaland could get elected governor.
On the American energy scene, New Mexico is the second-largest producer behind Texas, pumping out 2 million barrels of oil per day. Two counties in south-east New Mexico account for 78% of all onshore federal oil production, according to the American Petroleum Institute. The Land of Enchantment is a key player in the American energy landscape.
