Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) appeared on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast Triggered on Monday, and he had a lot to say about Sunday's election run-off in Colombia. Moreno, who is, of course, a Colombian immigrant, was back in his home country over the weekend as an international election observer. What he saw impressed him. In case you missed it, the right-wing candidate, Abelardo de la Espriella (aka El Tigre), beat out far-left president Gustavo Petro's hand-picked successor, Iván Cepeda. Thankfully, El Tigre won. The numbers showed a tight race, a country divided. While it is a country divided, many say it's not that divided,

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent has evidence that his agency and federal prosecutors let more than 1 million fentanyl pills flow onto the streets of New Mexico during the Biden era and then tried to silence him from testifying after he blew the whistle, the agent's lawyer tells Just the News. "DEA has a campaign that says one pill can kill, and so the DEA allowing this to happen was really significant. It was driven also by the US Attorney's Office in New Mexico," Attorney Tristan Leavitt, president of the Empower Oversight, whistleblower center, said in an interview Monday night.
Inside the insurance racket Iran wants

how it will devastate Western shipping

As high-stakes negotiations to end the Iran war continue in Switzerland, the maritime industry’s message to the White House is clear: Don’t allow Iran to formalize its tolling racket over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran wants all commercial shipping vessels to register with a newly formed Iranian agency in order to pass through the narrow entry to the oil-rich Persian Gulf — but Western insurance underwriters are refusing to comply, slamming the mandate as a sanctions trap, The Post has learned. Senior sources say unless US negotiators force Iran to completely dismantle its unilateral insurance mandates and fully clear international waters of underwater mines, trade in the region will never truly recover.

A federal judge in Minnesota, who has donated to an immigrant legal aid group, quashed several federal grand jury subpoenas of documents from Gov. Tim Walz and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul over compliance with immigration enforcement. In a 29-page opinion issued Monday, Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz of the District of Minnesota accused the Trump administration’s Justice Department of seeking to “harass political opponents” by initiating a criminal investigation and using grand jury subpoenas to pressure state and local officials into changing their immigration policies.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced that he has issued a subpoena forcing Dr. Anthony Fauci to appear publicly before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee next month. The move comes after the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director abruptly backed out of a voluntary testimony agreement he had already made.Paul continues his quest as one of the very few members of Congress willing to hold Fauci accountable for his handling of the pandemic, if not for playing a significant role in unleashing it. This subpoena sets the stage for what could be a highly anticipated COVID-era grilling,

Macky Sall, the former President of Senegal and a leading candidate to be the next Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), told Breitbart News exclusively he supports American President Donald Trump’s push to reform the UN and wants to, as Trump and his team say, “Make the UN Great Again.”“My first message to President Trump is first to congratulate him for his action on peace,” Sall said in a phone interview ahead of a recent trip to Washington. “He’s a peace builder, even if sometimes we have some problems today with Iran, but what he did is huge on one year of peace in the world, around the world,

Abelardo de la Espriella, a conservative political newcomer backed by President Donald Trump, declared victory Sunday in Colombia’s cliffhanger presidential election as Latin America continued to shift to the right during the American president's second term. De La Espriella captured 49.7% of the vote, with liberal Iván Cepeda taking 48.7% in a runoff seen as a verdict on outgoing President Gustavo Petro and a stagnant economy ridden by crime. Election officials had not formally declared a winner Sunday night, but de la Espriella declared victory and said he had already spoken with Trump.

On Wednesday a warehouse fire erupted in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyle Heights, just east of Downtown L.A. The solar panels on the roof of a cold food storage facility continued to blaze through the night, billowing toxic smoke into the atmosphere, and thwarting any efforts made by the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) to contain it. It is five days later, and the building is still burning. Take note of that last point. LAFD mitigated a fire at this building before, which was caused by the same issue. However, thanks to the cuts that both Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass

Trump posted on Truth Social: The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Pool. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair. President DJT Trump said Friday his administration had “cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, DC,” but added that there had been “real problems with Vandalism” at the Reflecting Pool.

They’ve been awed by Buc-ee’s, Waffle House, and Bass Pro Shops, the best examples of Americana.

A federal judge on Thursday said she’ll only consider parts of challenges to President Trump’s executive order that seeks to restrict mail-in voting, ruling the plaintiffs need to wait before raising concerns about elections beyond this year. A group of voter education nonprofits and Democratic-led states separately sued the Trump administration in April in an attempt to block the executive order, which also requires states to verify that only U.S. citizens are registered. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani denied the administration’s bid to dismiss the claims entirely, allowing challenges pertaining to the November midterms to go forward.

Sir Keir Starmer choked up this morning as he resigned as Labour leader and listed his ‘achievements’, setting the stage for a leadership contest and a new Prime Minister to be in place by September. The Mail has more. Keir Starmer choked up today as he announced he is quitting, with Andy Burnham closing in on taking control of Downing Street.

A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from creating a centralized database containing Social Security numbers along with information about voters’ citizenship status and other sensitive data. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, an appointee of former President Biden, said officials across numerous government agencies “haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable” in order to comply with President Trump’s March executive order attempting to overhaul federal elections.

How do Americans respond to the economic and political system known as socialism? For a decade or two after the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe countries and other nations, the idea became untenable. Now, however, socialism has regained popularity among many, in particular Democrats, as the June I&I/TIPP Poll demonstrates. In the latest online national poll, taken from May 26 through May 28, 1,589 voting-age respondents were asked the following question: “In general, do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of socialism?” Those answering the poll, which has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points, were

Marjorie Taylor Greene is riding shotgun alongside Tucker Carlson as he drives away from the Republican Party. The ex-GOP lawmaker on Monday said she is finished supporting the Republican Party — which she branded the “America LAST” party — just like her pal Carlson. She also echoed Carlson’s claim that Republicans have betrayed the American public in favor of a foreign nation — namely Israel. Greene posted on X on Monday: Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party. There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country.

The first words out of my son’s mouth were “Mom” and “Dad,” words that capture the beautiful, natural reality of human life and family. Yet New York’s Democrat-controlled legislature has passed a bill that seeks to erase these foundational terms from state law, replacing “mother” with the clinical “gestating parent” and “father” with the soulless “non-gestating parent.” “Paternity” becomes “parentage,” and “putative father” yields to “alleged parent.” This Orwellian rewrite now sits on Governor Kathy Hochul’s desk.[snip]Mothers gestate and give birth; fathers provide the other half of the biological equation.

When the Democrats nominated Barack Obama to represent their party in the 2008 presidential election many voters consoled themselves with this thought: “Well, at least it’s not Hillary.” Unfortunately, preventing her from taking up residence in the White House was the last useful thing he did for the country. Indeed, from the moment he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize during his first year in office—before he could possibly have done anything noteworthy—it became clear that there would be a huge gap between his actual accomplishments and the celebration of his presidency.

On her final day as director of national intelligence Friday, Tulsi Gabbard released damning declassified evidence accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of causing the COVID-19 pandemic, engaging in a cover-up about the virus origins in China and lying to Congress about it. Perhaps most disturbingly, he was assisted by the US intelligence community. “It’s time you know the truth,” said Gabbard when she released “never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins,

Sir Keir Starmer wants to force social networks and video platforms to make BBC content more prominent. Under plans to further restrict private media firms, news from public service broadcasters would be given priority to fight “disinformation”. The proposals will set Sir Keir on a collision course with tech giants already frustrated by his under-16s social media ban. The Government is expected to start a consultation this week on the rules, which would force platforms such as Facebook and YouTube to boost content from the BBC, ITV and Channel 4. Sources at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said the rules would make it easier for Britons to “discover trusted news sources” online.

So now the Strait of Hormuz is closed again, this time because Iran blames Israel for defending itself from attacks by one of Iran’s terrorist proxies, Hizballah. Iran — despite our claims to have destroyed its air forces and navy — can close the Strait whenever it likes. We have gone a long way since President Trump announced that he would only accept Iran’s “unconditional surrender.” When the Iran war began the White House said that, “From day one, the objectives have been clear: to obliterate Iran’s missiles and production, annihilate its navy, sever its support for terrorist proxies and ensure it never acquires a nuclear weapon.”
