President Donald Trump indicated Friday in letters to Congress that he does not need their approval to continue a military operation in Iran as the 60-day deadline for Trump formally notifying them of the hostilities looms. The United States and Israel launched aerial strikes on Iran on Feb. 28 and Trump formally notified Congress of the hostilities on March 2, meaning the 60-day window for Congress to make a declaration of war closes Friday. Trump, however, said the "hostilities" that began in February have since been terminated with the ceasefire. On April 7, 2026, I ordered a two-week ceasefire," Trump wrote in letters that went to both chambers, per NBC News.

Jim Acosta. who left CNN when the network decided to move his basement-rated show to a time slot that even less people would watch, is very angry that Scott Jennings is now featured. As is typical of many leftists, Acosta can’t stand the fact that there’s ONE voice on the network that isn’t explicitly anti-Trump. Acosta claims this is about Jennings telling a liberal guest to get out of his face. What Acosta doesn’t seem to realize is that his sour grapes come off as little more than petty jealousy. From Yahoo News: Media figures are calling on CNN to fire panelist Scott Jennings —

The U.S. Embassy in London issued a security alert on May 1, 2026, urging American citizens in the United Kingdom to remain vigilant after the UK government raised its national terrorism threat level to “SEVERE.” The alert follows the April 29 stabbing attack in Golders Green, a north London area with a large Jewish population, which authorities declared a terrorist incident. The threat elevation signals that a terrorist attack is now considered highly likely, per Counter Terrorism Policing. On April 30, the UK’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre raised the national threat level from “substantial” to “SEVERE.” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed the change,

For months, a man walked into some of the country’s biggest technology and cryptocurrency conferences, told organizers he was a senior state government executive, and took the stage. Nobody reportedly checked his credentials. Nobody stopped him. That changed this week when Hawaii’s Department of the Attorney General issued a public warning identifying Iqbal Khowaja as someone who has been falsely presenting himself as the Chief Technology Officer of the State of Hawaii – a title he has never held and has no authority to claim.

President Donald Trump told Congress on Friday that any effort to use the War Powers Act to rein in the strikes against Iran is irrelevant because he has declared that the conflict is over. The 1973 War Powers Resolution says that a president is supposed to seek congressional authorization for a war if the conflict lasts longer than 60 days, according to NBC News. The U.S. attacked Iran on Feb. 28. Trump notified Congress on March 2, which started the 60-day time period. On Friday, Trump formally told Congress he does not need to submit anything for approval.

President Donald Trump spoke at the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches in Florida on Friday night, and he seemed in a jocular mood. He had a wry smile on his face as he talked about the 67-year-old problem of communist Cuba, which is only 90 miles off Key West. The long-suffering residents have faced dire economic conditions for decades, and photographs show an island country still mired in the 1960s. Meanwhile, they have a long history of cozying up to our enemies. Maybe we’ll just take it, the president joked (?). Watch:
Everytown Not Only Ones Upset by ATF's
New Rules

The ATF doesn't give us much to celebrate, but they have now. I'm mostly stoked about what's happened, and the fact that Everytown is very upset about it just makes me like them even more. Especially the whole "engaged in the business" thing. While the groundwork was laid by law in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the ATF took it way beyond what the law specified. They got stupid, as per usual, and that's part of why these changes are happening. But while Everytown made it clear they don't like it, their buddies at The Trace--which is run by Everytown's president,
