The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that it “welcomed” the announcement the day prior that Iran and America had come to an agreement to end active hostilities with a memorandum of understanding expected to be signed in Switzerland on Friday. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that, after weeks of negotiations, Iran and America had agreed to terms that would result in the end of the current ceasefire and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran is engaging in violent piracy

The White House said Monday that the United States has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran that provides for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the United States naval blockade, and beginning a new phase of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief, frozen assets, and regional security. A senior American official said, “We have now signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran,” adding that President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf signed the document. The official said the agreement creates “a structure

Iranian military leaders celebrated the news on Monday that the country had agreed to the terms of a memorandum of understanding with the United States to end the current conflict, suggesting that the agreement represented “defeat and surrender” for America. The message from the Iranian armed forces command center, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, was markedly more belligerent and undiplomatic than the confirmation statements from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and other leaders in the civilian wing

It's happened again: In New Jersey, during an attempted apprehension of someone who is presumably in the United States illegally, an Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent was struck by the suspect's vehicle. The ICE agent fired at the vehicle, after which the driver reportedly fled the scene. The ICE agent was injured but is expected to recover. A Fox News report has more details. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent was struck by a fleeing suspect's vehicle and opened fire during an attempted apprehension in New Jersey on Monday morning, authorities said, as the suspect escaped and remained on the run. The confrontation unfolded shortly after 9:30 a.m.

Fox Corp. has agreed to buy the streaming pioneer Roku in a cash-and-stock deal valued at approximately $22 billion, including debt. Roku will continue to be run as an open, partner-friendly platform, the companies said Monday, and there appears to be no immediate changes that customers will see. Fox and Roku said that the combined company will become the third-largest player in U.S. television by share of viewing. Media reports had surfaced on Friday that Roku was looking at its strategic options, including a possible sale. Speculation was rampant as to which companies might be interested in an acquisition.

Democrats were throwing tantrums on Sunday as the Ultimate Fighting Championship event went down at the White House. UFC Freedom 250 was everything you would expect: loud and brimming over with patriotism, with every fight ending in a knockout, even capped off with some terrific fireworks. As we reported, Hillary Clinton was one of the tantrum throwers, whining about what this was doing to "our house." Many people then reminded her of what she and her husband did to "our house," and that she would never live there again. Liberals did some counterprogramming, having an event in New York City, "Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment."

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" —attributed to King Henry II "Come see the violence inherent in the leftism." —Me, riffing on Monty Python all the time. The Verge, ostensibly a tech publication, just put out what I can only describe as an incitement to assassinate SpaceX founder Elon Musk. "The world’s first trillionaire is a killer," TC Sottek's headline screams, whose "empire of wealth is built on suffering." "While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books," the screed continues, "one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands

Last night President Trump hosted the Ultimate Fighting Championship on the White House lawn for a series of seven mixed martial arts bouts. The event was spectacular and went off without a hitch, after a delay for a possible rain shower. I watched the first six fights, then went to bed, probably missing the best match. Here are some thoughts: * I am a boxing fan, but not an MMA fan. To me, MMA is more a gladiatorial spectacle than a legitimate sport. Many disagree, however. MMA includes wrestling and kicking, which we called “chicken fighting” when I was a kid.

If you've spent any time arguing with liberals online, you already know this. Now there's a study to prove it. Decades of research have shown that political conservatives report better mental health and greater happiness than their counterparts on the left. A new study published in the journal Political Behavior takes that finding a step further, finding that “mental illness is emerging as its own political identity and is most heavily aligned with leftist political ideology and causes,” and that it clusters heavily among younger, far-left Americans.

Imagine being so mentally polluted (no pun intended) by your disdain for people who disagree with your climate fanaticism that you turn them into carbon footprint monsters in their obituaries? That’s exactly what leftist media outlets did writ large upon the passing of legendary former ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond. Outlets like Bloomberg News, The New York Times, the Houston Chronicle and the Australia-based Sydney Morning Herald all took aim at Raymond following news of his death at age 87. They all turned Raymond into Mother Earth’s archnemesis by making him the face of Big Oil and the so-called climate change denier movement.

We reported earlier how President Donald Trump lit up the Iranian state media for leaks that they were claiming about the deal that is about to be finalized. As we noted, the regime's foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed the deal was close to being finalized. Now, in what has to be a first, the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, scolded the Iranian media for what they had reported about the deal, indicating they were getting things wrong. Then, Trump quoted Araghchi, probably another first. Araghchi said: The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been closer. Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content.

As the old saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for." Spencer Pratt released a concession video of sorts Friday morning, and after Karen Bass and Nithya Raman watch it, they'll wish the mail ballot fraud scheme to elevate Raman had never taken place. Pratt says he's moving on from the "campaign phase of [his] mission to save Los Angeles to the next, more interesting phase," reminding people that his goal wasn't to become mayor, but to expose the corrupt machine - and that he's laser focused on doing just that.//snip//So Karen, Nithya, ask yourselves, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording
