Speaking aboard Air Force One while returning from a summit in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump confirmed Taiwan was one of the central topics discussed during the talks. "President Xi and I talked a lot about Taiwan," Trump said. "He does not want to see a fight for independence because that would be a very strong confrontation." Trump said Xi raised the issue of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan "in great detail," but stressed that he made "no commitment either way."
Marco Rubio warns China of 'repercussions' as he reveals what really happened during meeting  Secretary of State Marco Rubio pulled back the curtain on private discussions between Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump. Beijing cleared the way for Rubio to touch down on Chinese soil this week, despite having the Secretary of State under strict sanctions for nearly six years. Rubio, a long-time China hawk who was blacklisted by the Communist regime in 2020 for his scathing criticism of the regime's human rights record, was widely expected to be a 'persona non grata' during President Trump's visit. However, Chinese officials signaled that the standing sanctions would not bar Rubio from the visit, offering a technical loophole to avoid a diplomatic disaster. They indicated that the restrictions were tied to Rubio's previous actions as a US Senator, rather than his current role as the nation's top diplomat.

Trump and Xi’s footing was a big ‘tell’ on how their historic China summit went: body language expert Trump: US, China Agree Iran Cannot Have Nuclear Arms  President Donald Trump said his patience with Iran was running out and that he had agreed in talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping that Tehran could not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and must reopen the Strait of Hormuz. With official agreements from the U.S.-China summit yet to be released, Trump's comments gave little indication of whether Beijing, the main buyer of Iranian oil, might use its influence with Tehran to end a conflict China said should not continue. "We've settled a lot of different problems that other people wouldn't have been able to settle," Trump said on Friday after he met Xi in Beijing on the second day of talks which included the Iran war, Taiwan, trade and other issues.
Retired Navy admiral makes bombshell claim about UFOs and 'non-human intelligence' controlling them Gallaudet's military background brings extra gravity to claims about unexplained sightings in the sky and ocean  Are UFOs controlled by non-human entities? There are few topics in America that generate more attention and interest than UFOs/UAPs. One of the big reasons why is that there's no clear answer for what is going on up in the sky or down in the ocean. There are countless videos and stories about unexplainable sightings, but very few concrete answers. Well, prepare for things to get amped up. Retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet is a leading voice in America when it comes to the UAP phenomenon, and he thinks whatever is going on...might not have a human explanation! Trump says Iran proposal began with 'unacceptable sentence,' included weak nuclear guarantees  President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran’s latest peace offer didn’t have strong enough guarantees when it came to their nuclear program. “I looked at it, and if I don't like the first sentence, I just throw it away,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One while traveling home from China. “What was the first sentence?” Trump was asked. “An unacceptable sentence because they have fully agreed, no nuclear. And if they have any nuclear of any form, I don't read the rest of it,” Trump said. Trump wraps widely-watched trip to China, departing on Air Force One after high-stakes Xi meeting  Air Force One lifted off after U.S. President Donald Trump wrapped up his visit to China where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week. The president spoke to the press aboard Air Force One, calling Xi "an incredible guy." Trump said Xi "feels very strongly" on the Taiwan issue, but noted, "I made no commitment either way." Kamala Harris torched for progressive wishlist: ‘Language of civil war’  Former Vice President Kamala was dragged online for a laundry list of progressive “bad ideas” she wants to bring to the table at what she’s dubbed a “No Bad Idea Brainstorm” for Democrats. Harris said during a Wednesday night livestream on the “Win with Black Women” podcast that Democrats need “an expanded playbook” and need to consider radical positions ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — including abolishing the Electoral College and packing the Supreme Court. Former Vice President Kamala Harris was dragged online for a laundry list of progressive “bad ideas” she wants to bring to the table at what she’s called a “No Bad Idea Brainstorm” for Democrats. “Look, this is a moment where there are no bad ideas, a ‘No Bad Idea Brainstorm’ is what I’d like to call it,” Harris said in the video, which quickly went viral on social media. “And in that No Bad Ideas Brainstorm, we talk about what we need to do and think about doing around the Electoral College. We talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court. We invite a conversation about multi-member districts,” she said. White House Ballroom to Open in 2028  President Donald Trump on Friday said the new White House ballroom is scheduled to open "around September of 2028." Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post while returning from China, highlighting what he described as America's need for a grand ceremonial venue comparable to those used by other world powers. "China has a Ballroom, and so should the U.S.A.!" Trump wrote. "It's under construction, ahead of schedule, and will be the finest facility of its kind anywhere in the U.S.A." Trump thanked supporters for backing the project, adding that the ballroom's "scheduled opening will be around September of 2028."
CIA Director Visits Cuba as Island Runs Out of Oil  CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with Cuban officials in Havana on Thursday, the communist government said, as the island endures record energy shortages. The visit comes at a low moment in U.S.-Cuba relations, after Washington imposed a fuel blockade on its neighbor in January and President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the island and mused about taking it over. The meeting with Ratcliffe took place "in a context marked by the complexity of bilateral relations, with the aim of contributing to the political dialogue between both nations," a government statement read. Powell ends term as Fed chair: Takeaways from his tenure  A global pandemic that put millions of Americans out of work within days. The highest inflation in four decades. An unprecedented federal criminal investigation. Fed Chair Jerome Powell faced a succession of crises over his 8-year tenure atop the central bank, which ends on Friday. Powell’s decisions along the way held stakes as concrete as the budgets of everyday Americans and as heady as the political independence of a pillar institution. President Donald Trump’s Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh is set to take the helm, inheriting a resilient economy by some measures, though one suffering from a renewed bout of inflation. Powell said last month that he would take the unusual step of staying on at the central bank's 12-person board of governors after his term expires. The move grants Powell a role in interest-rate policy that could last until 2028, though he says he will step down once a Fed inspector general's investigation into a renovation of the central bank headquarters is closed. Why would the NY Times make such horrific claims about Israel? The reasons are several-fold By Douglas Murray
Nicholas Kristof raped my dog. At least that is what I have heard, from an anonymous source. A source who is intensely hostile to the New York Times columnist. And that’s good enough for me. Now I come to think of it, my pet pug has had a strange look on his face lately. As it happens, the rumor that I have just attempted to spread is far less lurid and fanciful than the one that the New York Times chose to spread around the world this week. In a piece that has already been widely debunked, Kristof claimed that Israeli prison guards routinely use rape as a method of torture on Palestinian prisoners. The piece portrayed Israeli prison guards and soldiers as rapists, sadists and akin to Nazi prison camp guards. Perhaps even worse. Kristof’s most grotesque claim is based on an anonymous source who is described as a “journalist” from Gaza. According to this source, while being held in an Israeli prison in 2024, the Gazan man was stripped naked, blindfolded and handcuffed. Then “a dog was summoned.” The dog’s handler — who we are helpfully told was speaking Hebrew — then encouraged the dog to “mount him.” The CCP controls the most intimate elements of our life. Most Americans have no idea We must work alongside our most trusted allies and friends to build strong, resilient supply chains away from China. Rep. Young Kim By Rep. Young Kim
Critical minerals quietly power every aspect of modern American life. As you pour your morning coffee, you are relying on copper wiring and silicon chips working behind the scenes inside your coffee maker. When you grab milk from the refrigerator, you are depending on metal components, copper wiring, and electronic controls to keep everything cold. Turn on the TV to another round of bickering politicians on cable news, and you are looking at a screen built with indium, lithium, and rare earth phosphors. Flip off the lights, hop in your car, connect your phone to Bluetooth, and turn on your favorite podcast for the drive to work. That everyday routine depends on copper, lithium, and a whole host of other critical minerals that power batteries, speakers, navigation systems, electric motors, and modern communications technology. These materials are so deeply embedded into our daily lives that most Americans would never think twice about them. But they should. |
