 My son has narrated the last book I wrote. Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click on Book Cover) World & Nation Trump says Iran begged for cease-fire — but US will bomb regime ‘back to the Stone Ages’ until Strait of Hormuz opens  President Trump said Wednesday that Iran has begged the US for a cease-fire — but he won’t agree to stop bombing the theocratic regime “back to the Stone Ages” until it opens the Strait of Hormuz. “Iran’s New Regime President, much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!” Trump posted on Truth Social. “We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!” he threatened. This is the first time the president has mentioned Tehran formally requesting a cease-fire, though Trump has indicated it has long been begging to negotiate a way out of the war in Iran that began on Feb. 28. Iran hits tanker off coast of Qatar, Kuwait airport and Israel kills 5 in Beirut attack  Iran hit a tanker off the coast of Qatar and Kuwait International Airport early Wednesday as Tehran remained unrelenting in its attacks on its Gulf Arab neighbors, while acknowledging for the first time that Washington had been in direct contact about a possible ceasefire. Israel sounded warnings of incoming fire from both Yemen and Iran, while launching its own attacks in Lebanon that killed at least five people. An airstrike on Tehran appeared to have hit the former US Embassy compound, which has been controlled by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard since the 1979 hostage crisis. Witnesses said buildings outside the massive compound had their windows blown out and that it appears the strike happened inside the walled facility. With no sign of the war abating and more than 3,000 lives already lost, US President Donald Trump suggested it could be over within two weeks even as he moved to bring thousands more troops to the region. Trump says US will be ‘finished’ in Iran in 2-3 weeks: ‘We want to knock out every single thing they have’
US deploys 3rd aircraft carrier — the USS George HW Bush — to Middle East as Iran war rumbles on Trump ‘strongly considering’ pulling US out of NATO over Iran, alliance a ‘paper tiger’: report Trump Eyes NATO Exit Over Iran Rift  President Donald Trump is reportedly strongly considering removing the U.S. from NATO, which he called a "paper tiger," after members refused to assist the Iran war effort. In a striking rebuke of longtime allies, Trump told The Telegraph that NATO has failed to meet expectations during a critical moment in global security, calling the alliance ineffective and unreliable. "Oh yes, I would say [it's] beyond reconsideration," Trump said after being asked about withdrawing from NATO. "I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin knows that too." The comments come after NATO members declined Trump's push to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane through which roughly 20% of the world's oil supply typically flows.
Trump makes historic SCOTUS appearance for birthright citizenship case No sitting president has attended oral arguments at the high court before, underscoring the weight Trump has placed on the landmark case  President Donald Trump is making a historic appearance at the Supreme Court on Wednesday to listen as justices weigh his executive order to curb birthright citizenship. No sitting president has attended oral arguments at the high court before, underscoring the weight Trump has placed on the landmark case, which could upend more than 100 years of precedent that has allowed most babies born in the U.S. to receive automatic citizenship. Attorney General Pam Bondi accompanied Trump at the Supreme Court on Wednesday morning. "I have listened to this argument for so long, and this is not about Chinese billionaires, or billionaires from other countries who all of a sudden have 75 children or 59 children in one case, or 10 children becoming American citizens. This was about slaves," Trump told Fox News' Peter Doocy in the Oval Office on Tuesday of the case. Michigan Democrat quits politics, says party's agenda betrayed her faith 'I’m not a co-signer of crazy,' Karen Whitsett said of Democratic priorities  Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett is stepping away from political office, saying her Christian faith no longer aligns with today's Democratic Party after years of clashes over abortion, transgender issues and party leadership. Whitsett, who represents parts of north and northwest Detroit in the 4th House District, announced in March that she would not be seeking re-election or run for office again, calling the choice to walk away a "spiritual decision." In an interview with Fox News Digital, Whitsett said she could no longer support the Democratic Party. Over the past four years, she found herself increasingly at odds with party leaders for pushing policies she felt were incompatible with her beliefs. Trump Signs Executive Order to Tighten Election Security  President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order on Tuesday aimed at tightening election security, saying the move will help ensure only eligible U.S. citizens vote in federal elections. "I'm very happy to be signing the voter integrity, and I think it's going to be really great," Trump said during the Oval Office signing ceremony. The order reinforces existing federal law that prohibits noncitizens from voting, while adding new tools for verifying voter eligibility and securing mail-in ballots. The White House framed it as part of the federal government's duty to enforce election law and restore trust in election outcomes.
NASA Chief: Artemis II Crew to Go Farther Than Ever  NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said Tuesday on Newsmax that the Artemis II mission remains on track for launch April 1, with the four astronauts healthy and the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft in good condition. Isaacman, who had just met with the crew hours earlier, told "The Record With Greta Van Susteren" that weather conditions were also favorable. "As of right now, the SLS rocket, the Orion spacecraft on top of it, are all healthy," he said. "They're energized and ready to go," he added. Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur and commercial astronaut, was nominated by President Donald Trump in December 2024 to serve as NASA administrator. Sens. Cruz, Cantwell Hit FCC's Carr on Nexstar Merger  Senate Commerce Committee leaders Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., have demanded answers from Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr over the agency's approval of Nexstar's $6.2 billion acquisition of Tegna. The decision has sparked legal challenges, industry backlash, and renewed scrutiny of federal media ownership rules. In a strongly worded March 30 letter to Carr, Cruz, the committee chair, and Cantwell, its ranking member, questioned why the agency used its Media Bureau — rather than the full commission — to approve what they described as a sweeping and unprecedented transaction. Artemis II: America’s headed back to the moon — and then beyond! By Post Editorial Board
America’s space program is once again pushing toward new frontiers: For the first time in more than 50 years, the nation will send humans back to the moon — and then to Mars and beyond. It starts with the liftoff of Artemis II, scheduled for Wednesday evening. Yes, this mission in many ways is an echo, even a repeat, of the Apollo lunar flights of the ’60s and ’70s. A crew of four astronauts aboard the Orion capsule will ride atop a 322-foot Space Launch System rocket; they’ll orbit the Earth, then head to the moon, circle it and return home over the course of about 10 days. The trip will bring them the furthest from Earth any humans have ever been and return them at a record speed of 25,000 miles per hour, facing temperatures of 5,000 degrees. Inside Gavin Newsom’s empire of fraud By Christopher Rufo, Ryan Thorpe, Kenneth Schrupp and Haley Strack
California is a cash machine. The state collects some of the country’s highest income, business, and fuel taxes, and now spends more than $300 billion per year. And yet, everywhere you look, California seems to be falling apart. The roads are crumbling. Mismanaged wildfires have turned neighborhoods into ash. Drug addiction and homelessness have metastasized, turning parts of Los Angeles and San Francisco into no-go zones. And the cost-of-living crisis is pricing middle-class taxpayers out of basic necessities like groceries and gas, even as the state spends billions on welfare programs that never seem to lift anyone out of poverty. Californians are beginning to ask: Where is all this money going? |
