New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote last week that Israelis have used dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. Getty Images for Aurora Humanitarian Initiative For those who missed last week’s gutter-level low for The New York Times, here’s a catch-up — and the big picture meaning. The focus is Nicholas Kristof’s bizarre column last Monday that repeated debunked claims that Israeli dogs had raped Palestinian prisoners. Among the landslide of criticism, the most frequent was that the author had swallowed, hook, line and sinker, garbage from sources widely known for peddling Hamas propaganda.

It’s obvious to me that during the four-year hiatus from the White House occasioned by a stolen election, President Trump gave thoughtful consideration to what had to be cleaned up domestically and internationally. It’s equally clear that he mapped out how he planned to do that, and despite media, congressional and judicial intransigence, he plowed ahead. We are at a point now where the blueprint is now obvious, It’s a continuing, ascending trajectory. Having hoisted Maduro out of Caracas to stand trial here for his crimes, the U.S. made it perfectly obvious that Russian and Chinese security personnel and military equipment were no match for a determined U.S. military.

Walgreens has announced that it is closing a store in the Chatham neighborhood of Chicago. They claim that the store is losing upwards of a million dollars a year to theft, so the reason for the closure is no mystery. They say that this particular store loses more in theft than any other store. And yet… The political leaders in Chicago, who allow thieves to run wild, are angry at Walgreens. They caused this, with their soft on crime policies, yet they are mad at Walgreens for closing the location.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has pushed the manhunt for a former U.S. servicemember who allegedly took part in espionage activities on behalf of the Iranian regime into third gear with the latest development this week. The former Air Force counterintelligence specialist defected to Iran in 2013, then was indicted in 2019.In hopes of capturing Monica Witt, the FBI has sweetened the deal with a hefty reward - $200,000:My colleague Streiff wrote at the time about this curious case, in a follow up to RedState's initial story on Witt's indictment. His expertise is worth reading at length here:

President Trump slammed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for blaming his administration for the Long Island Rail Road strike. LIRR is the largest commuter rail system in the U.S. Hochul released a formal statement criticizing Trump on Saturday. "Failed New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, a Dumacrat, just blamed ME for her Long Island Railroad STRIKE, when she knows, full well, that I have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT - never even heard about it until this morning. She just blurted out, "It’s President Trump’s fault.' No, Kathy, it’s your fault, and now looking over the facts, you should not have allowed this to happen," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Long Island Rail Road strike sparked a firestorm of finger-pointing in the hours after thousands of workers walked off the job in a midnight strike, mangling commutes for countless Long Islanders. Gov. Kathy Hochul found herself under withering criticism when she tried to pin the transit meltdown on the Trump administration within an hour of the strike. “The disruption that Long Islanders face starting tonight is the direct result of reckless actions by the Trump Administration to cut mediation short and push these negotiations toward a strike,” Hochul said in a sentiment mirrored similar ones by MTA boss Janno Lieber —

President Trump gave Tehran another reason to worry Saturday, posting a video clip on his Truth Social showing him ordering a military attack on an Iranian aircraft. “Okay, we have it in our sight. Fire – boom!” Trump says, as a US-flagged destroyer blows one with the Iranian flag out of the sky. In his latest comments on the war, Trump has dismissed Iran’s latest peace offer as “unacceptable,” while speaking freely about the devastation the US military has already inflicted on Iran — and the targets it spared but could reconsider.“We hit them unbelievably hard. Look — we left their bridges.

An Environmental Protection Agency lawyer and union leader has signed a dissent letter opposing President Donald Trump’s policy at the agency and has posted on social media attacking EPA Director Lee Zeldin, but appears to still be employed there. This activity raises questions as to whether she might be a “deep state” actor, working to undermine Trump’s policies from within the administration. Nicole Cantello serves as president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 704, the EPA’s labor union. A verified LinkedIn profile lists her as an attorney at the EPA.

During President Donald Trump's trip to China this week, marked by fanfare and pleasantries, a stark contrast was on display in the United States where the Justice Department charged an American mayor for illegally acting as an agent of the Chinese Communist government. The incongruity between the flowery praise heaped on the American president in Beijing by Chairman Xi Jinping and the shocking tale of a U.S. official doing “the bidding” of a foreign government suggests underlying tensions in the U.S.-China relationship are not going away, despite promises to decrease trade barriers and achieve a peaceful coexistence.

A 19-year-old former member of the Michigan Army National Guard has been charged with planning a horrific mass shooting attack on a major U.S. military facility right here in Michigan, all in the name of ISIS. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said of Melvindale, Michigan was arrested on May 13, 2025 — the very day he planned to carry out the attack — after launching a drone near the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan.

Even though this will be his last year as governor due to term limits, Ron DeSantis (R) remains a target of Florida's Democrats due in large part to his effectiveness, the fact that he's unapologetically conservative, and his standing firm on the issues that are important to him and a majority of Floridians. So it was no surprise that amid the marathon session that produced a new congressional map approved by lawmakers on the day of the Louisiana v. Callais SCOTUS ruling, and which DeSantis promptly signed into law, some Democrat state lawmakers staged temper tantrums to protest the map's supposed lack of fairness in representation.

Eric Trump announced plans to sue MS Now and host Jen Psaki Friday for accusing him of being a board member of a company purportedly seeking to do business in China. The former White House press secretary and host of “The Briefing with Jen Psaki” made the statement during a recent show monologue in which she suggested President Trump’s second-born son joined his father on his high-profile China trip to further his own business interests. “Contrary to her monolog[ue] and blatant lies, I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5 — not now, not ever,” Eric Trump wrote on X. “Any person with basic access —
