It’s only a little more than a month into the second year of President Trump’s second term, but it’s turning out to be a MAGA disappointment. Fortunately, there’s still time ahead of the November midterm for Trump to get his administration back on course, make substantial progress on his campaign agenda, and make the coming elections at least not as bad as they’re set to be right now. There have been big wins in 2026, to be sure. The administration turbocharged its deportation operation, crime rates are still falling, and the economy continued to recover from the dismal Biden years. Trump even fired Kristi Noem from Homeland Security,

A new official definition of Islamophobia could “inhibit” free speech about Muslims and their religion, the Government’s own counter-terrorism tsar Jonathan Hall KC has warned. The Telegraph has more. Jonathan Hall, KC said Sir Keir Starmer’s proposed definition, to be unveiled on Monday, could stop people from freely criticising Islam or issues affecting its followers. Hall, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, told the BBC: “The worry will be with loose language, people will feel inhibited about talking about things that they do think which are genuinely important today.”

In a high-impact binational operation, the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) — in coordination with Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office (FGR), with support from Interpol and the DEA — arrested Roberto “Beto” Bazán Salinas on March 5, 2026, in the municipality of Salamanca, Guanajuato. This individual, identified as a high-ranking operator of the Gulf Cartel (CDG), was listed among the priority targets of U.S. agencies and had an international arrest warrant issued by ICE on January 21, 2026, accompanied by his photograph on the most-wanted list.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed he and President Trump will do whatever it takes to topple the Iranian regime – and didn’t rule out sending US ground troops into Tehran as Operation Epic Fury rages on. “We’re willing to go as far as we need in order to be successful,” Hegseth told CBS News’s Major Garrett during a “60 Minutes” sit-down interview that aired Sunday night. “We reserve the right. We would be completely unwise if we did not reserve the right to take any particular option, whether it included boots on the ground or not boots on the ground.”

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s son ripped former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for using the late civil rights icon’s memorial service to take shots at President Trump. Jesse Jackson Jr. said the grandstanding Democrats didn’t really know his father, after they used their eulogies to bash the president, his policies, and his vision for America during Friday’s star-studded send-off. “Yesterday, I listened for several hours to three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” the grieving son said Saturday during a private memorial service at Rainbow Push Coalition headquarters in Chicago.He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were white or black,

In deep-red Texas, the Democrats have chosen a Senate candidate whose Christian faith the party hopes will be a potent weapon, but whose unorthodox views range from God is nonbinary to there are six sexes. “God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between,” said James Talarico, a state representative and, now, the Democratic nominee for Senate. “God is nonbinary.” Progressive Christianity may be a hard sell The statement is part of dozens of claims about God, Christianity, and morality that Talarico has made on the campaign trail, and before he ran for higher office, geared towards “[reclaiming] Christianity for the left.”

Findings from a Fox News poll released Friday indicate that a historic high of 38% of registered voters now consider it positive for the country to shift from capitalism toward socialism, marking an increase from 32% in 2022 and 18% in 2010. The shifting sentiment towards socialism may not necessarily reflect fuzzy feelings for its ideals, but rather a lack of understanding of what those ideals are, according to professor of political science, Nicholas Giordano. “Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best explanation. People are gravitating toward socialism because they've never really been taught what socialism is," Giordano told Just The News.

By patiently and methodically setting the stage, President Trump has realigned the Middle East, formed a strong new alliance against communism and narcoterrorism in this hemisphere, and is forcing power-grabbing federal judges to stay within their constitutional lane. The Middle East There are ridiculous claims about the targeting of the Mullahocracy. The truth is clearer: Iran posed an obvious threat to almost every country. In negotiations with Iran to avoid warfare, Steve Witkoff was informed by Iran’s negotiators that it was “proud” it had evaded all previous ”oversight protocols.” They bragged that they controlled “360 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium” from which they could make 11 nuclear bombs.

 American gasoline prices continued to rise on Friday and are up the most of any week since 2022. Iran widened attacks on energy-producing countries near its borders and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to shipping, dashing hopes for a quick resolution to a crisis sending shockwaves through global markets. The United States last Saturday began a military campaign in Iran, one that has continued throughout the week with aggression. Friday at 1 p.m. Eastern, the U.S. national average price for regular gasoline had jumped approximately 35.9 cents per gallon from the same time in the previous week, reaching approximately $3.34 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.

A significant number of House Democrats voted “no” on declaring the Islamic Republic of Iran a “state sponsor of terrorism.” Sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), the resolution passed the U.S. House on Thursday by a 372-53 vote. Two Democrats voted present. While squad members like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) were expected to vote “no,” a full 53 proved somewhat surprising. The resolution said nothing about President Trump’s strikes on Iran, while saying the regime “remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis,”

The U.N. said on Friday that over 100,000 people have been displaced by fighting between Afghanistan and Pakistan, which has been running at a tempo close to open warfare for the past week with no end in sight The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) begged Afghanistan and Pakistan to cease hostilities and turn their attention to resolving the humanitarian crisis created by their cross-border clashes.. The U.N. agency said the displacements were especially severe on the Afghan side of the border, where at least 56 civilians have been killed – including 24 children and 6 women –

The U.S. is lifting some restrictions on Russian oil and considering more actions to “unsanction” it as the conflict in Iran raises prices globally, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday. Bessent told Fox Business that the U.S. would allow India to buy Russian barrels. “Yesterday, Treasury agreed to let our allies in India start buying Russian oil that was already on the water,” Bessent said. “The Indians had been very good actors. We had asked them to stop buying sanctioned Russian oil this fall. They did. They were going to substitute it with U.S. oil, but to ease the temporary gap of oil around the world,
