 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 CNN, MS NOW, Politico Suing Over Denied WH Access CNN, MS NOW and Politico said Monday they’ve notified President Donald Trump’s administration that they’re filing a lawsuit over being denied White House access. Reporters from the three major news organizations were blocked from the White House on Saturday, a day after Trump said he was barring them because of reporting he found to be “fake news.” The actions were a clear escalation of Trump’s long-running efforts — in the courts and through administrative action — to restrict news coverage by journalists he finds objectionable and were the latest test of First Amendment protections in the United States.
Russia preparing imminent attack on countries supporting Ukraine, Poland learns Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told parliament on Thursday that intelligence reports show Russia is planning hybrid drone attacks that will target Ukraine and allies of Ukraine, including Poland. Tusk told the Sejm, or Polish parliament, that, there is "one change, unfortunately, of a very negative nature... There is a real risk that drones or other types of missiles could enter the territory of one or several countries on the eastern flank and even cause damage, while the official narrative would be that it was an accident," Tusk said. The comments come as Poland marks the 87th anniversary of the Soviet Invasion of Poland in 1939, with memorials taking place across the country to honor those who died from Soviet aggression. Iran says world will be ‘astonished’ by new weapons as Trump weighs next move Iran warned Monday that it could deploy new weapons and expand the geography of the conflict if the United States launches another offensive, as President Donald Trump weighs his next move in the war. IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said Tehran would change both its weaponry and targets in response to renewed U.S. military action, according to Iran’s Fars news agency. “We will introduce new weapons with new capabilities into the battle, and the world will be astonished,” Mohebbi said, according to Iran International. He also claimed Iran has targets that have not previously come under attack and is prepared for a prolonged conflict. Trump, meanwhile, told Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst on Sunday that he is in “deciding mode” and warned Iran that “big things” could happen if Tehran does not “behave.” "It's basically three things,” Trump said. “Wipe it out, let it rot with the economy, or make a deal." Trump says Russia ‘lost control of its Diesel Oil Industry’ after Ukraine drone attacks, calls for end to ‘ridiculous’ war President Trump publicly called Monday for an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine after a series of attacks by Kyiv on Moscow’s energy holdings triggered another spike in diesel fuel prices. “Russia has unfortunately lost control of its Diesel Oil Industry due to its War with Ukraine,” the president posted on Truth Social. “A large number of their Diesel refineries have been blown up and are, at least temporarily, out of commission,” the president went on. “This ridiculous and never ending War with Ukraine must be ended. Trump decried the war in Ukraine’s impact on diesel prices, which have been rising rapidly in the US as he called for an end to the war. Americans warned again to rethink travel as missile attack rattles historic region Security alert follows ballistic missile launch that has been intercepted The State Department renewed its warning on Saturday to Americans who may be traveling in and through the Middle East as escalating regional tensions raise concerns among travelers. The warning came as Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile toward Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, over the weekend — which Saudi Arabia said its air defenses intercepted. Residents reported hearing an explosion and later seeing a plume of smoke near King Khalid International Airport, according to The Associated Press (AP). No casualties or damage from the attack were reported. Fresh activity emerges at Iran’s deeply buried nuclear site as Trump warns Iran not to 'get cute' New satellite imagery shows Iran has added new defenses around tunnel entrances at Pickaxe Mountain, the deeply buried nuclear-linked site President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to strike, as Russia and China on Thursday vetoed a U.S.-drafted Security Council resolution aimed at preserving international monitoring of sanctions on Tehran. The Institute for Science and International Security said in a report released Thursday that satellite imagery from Sept. 11 shows earthen roadblocks remain in place on roads leading to Pickaxe Mountain’s western tunnel portals near the Natanz nuclear complex. The institute said the continued restricted access reinforces its assessment that the facility is not currently being used for normal operations, while assessing that valuable equipment or materials remain inside. The report also identified additional soil placed over one western tunnel portal and over a nearby cluster of entrances first built in 2007. The institute said the added soil increases the amount of earth protecting the entrances and helps harden them against aerial bombardment. Report: FAA Must Better Address Threats to Aircraft Comms A government watchdog on Monday said the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration must take new steps to address threats to aircraft communication, including spoofing and jamming. The Government Accountability Office said the FAA has not completed risk assessments and updated security documentation needed to address spoofing and jamming threats and does not have a real-time detection capability for all spectrum-related threats. The report said hackers could transmit fraudulent clearance cancellations potentially leading to flight delays or safety issues.
Omar's new legislation targeting ICE sparks outrage when the internet sees what's in it: 'Un-American' The bill would send ICE and Border Patrol money from Trump's Big Beautiful Bill toward local recovery efforts nationwide Conservatives are pushing back after Rep. Ilhan Omar. D-Minn., introduced legislation that would redirect over $100 billion in funds previously allocated to immigration enforcement and "invest it into communities across the country that have been impacted by the Department of Homeland Security’s heinous operations." Omar explained in a press release Thursday that her Make ICE Pay Act is a response to "Operation Metro Surge" in Minnesota and that it would send nearly $140 billion of ICE and Border Patrol funding from Trump’s signature One Big Beautiful Bill Act toward "local recovery efforts" from immigration enforcement that has taken place across the country. Omar says the funding will be used by local jurisdictions to provide economic relief and distribute money through the states to nonprofits, small businesses and other impacted entities to support schools, healthcare and psychological services, increased local-government expenses, investigations and memorialization efforts. The program would be administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, overseen by its inspector general and expire three years after its creation. Trump to decide whether to green light US-China artificial intelligence 'hotline' agreement: sources Trump and his Chinese counterpart are slated to spend time together later this week Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., discusses the competitive race between the U.S. and China in artificial intelligence development. He raises concerns about energy grid capacity and highlights regulatory hurdles facing tech firms. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will present President Donald Trump with a U.S.-China artificial intelligence-related agreement, two sources told Fox Business Network White House correspondent Edward Lawrence. The agreement will open a "hotline" for direct communication on AI, similar to the direct line of communication the military has, enabling either side to have a direct line if any AI-related problems arise, such as hacking, national security concerns, rogue AIs or other issues. House GOP not done with ActBlue after bombshell internal memos raise foreign cash questions Republican investigators say they expect more documents and testimony in the weeks ahead House GOP investigators are warning that they are not done with ActBlue after a bombshell report fueled questions over whether the Democrat fundraising giant is accepting foreign cash and lying to Congress about it. "Whether it’s allowing fraudsters to steal taxpayer dollars or accepting illegal foreign donations through ActBlue, Democrats have proven themselves to be the party of fraud. Our investigation into ActBlue is far from over. We expect more documents and testimony in the weeks ahead," House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital. ActBlue is a massive platform for campaigns to raise money that's used by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, among others. Republican lawmakers have long accused the company of having lax verification standards for donors, something ActBlue has said it actively improved since the start of the GOP's probe. But new findings, first reported by Fox News Digital, appear to show employees green-lighting donations despite some questions about where they came from. Paramount reaches settlement with California’s Rob Bonta to clear Warner Bros. merger: sources Paramount has reached a settlement with California Attorney General Rob Bonta over a multi-state antitrust lawsuit, paving the way for its massive $81 billion Warner Bros. Discovery merger, according to sources. By approximately 10:20 a.m. ET, shares in Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery jumped 6.6% and 9.8%, respectively, after reports that advanced settlement talks over the weekend had been successful. The settlement terms include a commitment to release 30 movies a year; a multiyear pledge to remain in California, after previously threatening to exit; and independent editorial boards for CBS News and CNN, sources told The Post. Woke NYT, 1619 Project writer blasted for purposely sending daughter to struggling NYC school: ‘This isn’t a game’ Critics lambasted New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones for using her own daughter as a prop to virtue signal about alleged systemic racism by deliberately sending her to poor-performing Big Apple schools – scolding the mother for treating her education as a sick “game.” Hannah-Jones, 50, who helped craft the outlet’s controversial 1619 Project, said she and her husband – who purchased a $1.5 million Bed-Stuy brownstone in 2018 – “thought by sending Najya to a mostly low-income and black school, we could help improve it for all the children there.” But after years of attending mostly low-income schools like PS 307 and Urban Assembly Unison, Hannah-Jones found her bright now-16-year-old daughter lacked the basic skills to keep up in high school, and was hopping mad that she had put “other kids” before her. How Trump can win back swing voters on immigration By New York Post Editorial Board
“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far,” warns Mar�a Elvira Salazar, a three-term Florida congresswoman: She’s plainly right. The indiscriminate mass-sweep tactics pushed by the likes of ex-Homeland Security Secretary Kristie Noem, notes Rep. Salazar, managed only to alienate swing voters and harm industries dependent on foreign labor. President Donald Trump won 46% of the Hispanic vote in 2024 because nearly all law-abiding Americans and immigrants support arresting and deporting the “worst” criminals — murderers, rapists and gangbangers — who have no right to be here. A general view of the Columbia University campus is seen Saturday, March 8, 2025, in New York. The Trump administration pulled back roughly $400 million in grants and contracts from Columbia University, citing the Ivy League school's noncompliance with anti-discrimination laws. Columbia University locks out grannies to avoid policing the baddies Cowardly halfwit Ed Sheeran bows to the anti-Israel bullies — why fans are really losing interest in him By Liel Leibovitz
Ed Sheeran’s opening number at his Saturday night show in Philadelphia was a reminder that even our most gifted songwriters are often intellectual and moral halfwits. Rather than sing — which is what people pay him a lot of money to do — Sheeran slouched onto the darkened stage and delivered a monologue. He had mishandled the most recent controversy, he said, referring to a slow-rolling PR disaster that began with his opening act, Macklemore, ranting about “Palestine”; continued with venues threatening cancellation; and ended with all opening acts quitting the tour and demand for tickets dropping so rapidly that promoters had to slash prices by as much as 50%. Why are people losing interest in Sheeran? Left-wing media would have you believe it’s because tens of thousands of Americans are passionate exclusively about Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and only support entertainment produced by artists who stand with Hamas. |
