(Click on Book Cover) World & Nation Trump Says 'Momentum' Building for Iran Deal at Expanded Mideast Meeting President Donald Trump met Tuesday with senior representatives from 12 Middle Eastern countries in an expanded gathering on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, discussing the war with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and broader regional security. The meeting was formally billed by the White House as a multilateral meeting with the Gulf Cooperation Council, but representatives from six additional Middle Eastern countries also attended, according to a White House pool report and the Times of Israel. Along with the six GCC states — Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman — the meeting included senior officials from Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt, the Times of Israel reported.
A big win for Donald Trump: Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 7 days Iran may be close to reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days in the prospect of renewed diplomacy with the United States. Reuters reports that an unnamed senior Iranian official said the vital shipping lane, which has been closed since the start of the war at the end of February, could be reopened within a week subject to conditions. It comes ahead of an important week for the U.S., with President Donald Trump set to meet leaders from the Gulf states as well as Chinese President Xi Jinping – a long-standing ally of Iran. An Iranian official told Reuters that the strait could be reopened within a week, provided the U.S. lifts its naval blockade of Iranian ports and eases military pressure. “The U.S. needs to announce that it wants to resolve the issue diplomatically, make that official, and then agree on a timeline for how the process will move forward,” the senior official told Reuters. Iran’s president claims country has been ‘victim of terrorism’ at UN — despite funding terror groups worldwide Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed his country has “been the victim of terrorism” and blamed the US and Israel for instability in the Middle East while speaking at the United Nations on Wednesday. Pezeshkian, whose nation is the leading funder of terror groups across the region, blamed the war on the US and Israel — while reiterating claims that an American bomb was behind the deadly Minab school strike in February that killed 120 children. “The United States president described us as terrorists,” he told world leaders gathered in New York. “We have been the victims of terrorism.” Pezeshkian also mourned slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as he held a picture of the ayatollah, prompting the sole American delegate at the meeting to walk out. Trump’s bullish United Nations speech showed he won’t back down — and now he can truly put America First
Trump’s warning to the United Nations hits the nail on the head IRGC strikes cargo vessel in Strait of Hormuz \Trump-backed US Senate candidate calls for immediate end to Iran war Munitions Make Up $28.1 Billion of US-Iran War Costs Lost in translation: Israel, Huckabee blast Macron over Hamas comments as France clarifies wording Ambassador Danny Danon called on Macron to 'do your homework before lecturing Israel' President Donald Trump offered a roaring counterbalance to a spate of world leaders bashing Israel or appearing to equivocate between the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks and Jerusalem’s response — as one world leader was assailed for his comments on Hamas. Gaza dominated the opening day of the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, despite a ceasefire, as world leaders accused Israel of continuing to displace Palestinians and undermine prospects for peace. French President Emmanuel Macron accused Israel of violating Palestinian rights in the West Bank, questioning the justification for its actions and making a remark that was translated as "Hamas was never active in the West Bank." Marco Rubio now accuses Ukraine: They hit on ships carrying oil for the US Ukraine’s campaign against Russia’s energy industry has become one of Kyiv’s tools for squeezing Moscow’s wartime economy. From refineries to other oil infrastructure, Ukrainian drones have repeatedly reached deep into Russian territory. Secretary of State Marco Rubio now says some of those attacks have also come dangerously close to American interests. Speaking to Fox News on Tuesday, Rubio accused Ukraine of striking vessels linked to the United States and supplies ultimately destined for the US – even while acknowledging that Kyiv may not have intended to hit them. Fox News separately described Rubio’s remarks as concerning “American-linked ships and oil supplies.” Rubio said several incidents involving ships with US connections had occurred during recent months. China lays out ‘red lines’ for Trump-Xi meeting as GOP lawmaker criticizes ‘lavish welcome’ China’s ambassador to the US has specified four topics that Beijing expects President Trump to avoid during Xi Jinping‘s state visit this week — while a Senate Republican foreign policy buff bashed the “lavish welcome” planned for the Chinese president. Xie Feng, in an op-ed for the official People’s Daily newspaper, wrote that “China’s sovereignty, security, and development interests cannot be violated, and four red lines — the Taiwan question, democracy and human rights, development paths and systems, and development rights — cannot be challenged.” Xi continually pressed the issue of Taiwan, the self-governing, democratic island that China claims as its own, when he and Trump met in Beijing back in May, causing their scheduled meeting to run long. The Trump administration shrugged off Xi’s attempt to buttonhole Trump on the topic, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio telling “NBC Nightly News” at the time that “US policy on the issue of Taiwan is unchanged as of today and as of the meeting that we had here.” ‘Palestinian Rachel Dolezal’ outed as white woman of ‘significant privilege and wealth’ A woke “black” and anti-Israel activist has been dubbed the “Palestinian Rachel Dolezal” after she was outed for being a white, Jewish woman who lied about her identity for years. Hannah Gann, a Philadelphia teacher, was forced to confess she was a “white woman of significant privilege and wealth” after fellow lefty activists grew suspicious of her background and confronted her. “I lied about my identity and have been lying for years. I have no Palestinian or Tunisian heritage,” she wrote in a self-aggrandizing apology on Instagram. Socialist mayor’s new answer to rampant retail crime ignites fury: ‘Bandage on a bullet wound’ The initiative funds security, repairs and operational support for independent grocers in underserved neighborhoods Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is rolling out city-funded security for grocery stores facing theft, break-ins and vandalism, fueling criticism that Seattle is spending taxpayer money to protect businesses from crime instead of doing enough to stop it in the first place. The socialist mayor announced the rollout of the security funding as part of a $1.7 million grocery-support initiative included in the city's 2026 budget earlier this week. "Keeping our neighborhood grocery stores safe and supported is essential to making sure every Seattleite has a reliable, affordable grocery store near them," Wilson said on social media Monday. Trump Blasts CNN, MS Now Over UN Coverage President Donald Trump took aim at the "sick, treasonous, and demented" White House-banned left-leaning media outlets, which were present at the United Nations on Tuesday despite their pool coverage having been suspended. Trump singled out CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins in a late-night Truth Social post after she and other reporters covered his appearance at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. "All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate 'Reporter,' Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN, a truly unhappy person, said they weren't going to be covering me," Trump wrote. "Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics, in the Press Area, at the United Nations? Why was she there? She's got a 'TRUMP' addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They're all sick, treasonous, and demented!" he added. The broadside came after Trump confronted Collins earlier Tuesday at U.N. headquarters, telling her CNN should not be covering him after the network's dispute with the White House.
Democrats have lost all sight of what a liberal society means By New York Post Editorial Board
Democrats have grown so unmoored that a majority of them would be happy if a military coup overthrew President Donald Trump and seized control of America . . . to “safeguard the Constitution.” Yes, a new survey finds their derangement so profound that most Dems say they would welcome the armed forces ending civilian democratic rule — burning the Constitution to “save” it. And that’s just the appetizer in a five-course meal of despair. While a third of Democrats would find it “Very Negative” to learn of Trump being assassinated at a rally, another third would view it as “Very” or “Somewhat Positive.” A full 45% would be elated if they were to wake up and hear the prez “died overnight in his sleep.” Supreme Court can restore sanity and stop the left’s radical climate agenda Justices will hear Suncor v. Boulder as several municipalities pursue carbon emissions litigation By John Yoo
When the U.S. Supreme Court opens its new term on Oct. 5, the justices will face the critical question of whether Congress or Boulder, Colorado, controls American energy policy. Cities such as Boulder, Honolulu and Baltimore have pursued frivolous lawsuits against energy companies on the claim that big oil concealed the effects of their products on climate change. While states generally set policy over public health and safety, constitutional law and Supreme Court precedent should make the answer clear. Energy forms a central part of the national economy and makes a foundational contribution to American national security. The Constitution vests authority over interstate commerce and national security in the federal government, not the states. But until the court resolves this matter once and for all in Suncor v. Boulder, dozens of states and municipalities, backed by climate activists, will keep pushing legal theories in state court intended to impose ruinous liability on energy companies for lawful carbon emissions. Without the court’s intervention, climate litigants would sue American energy into financial oblivion, inflict enormous costs on the American economy and render the nation more vulnerable to coercion by nations such as Russia and Ira |
