Iran Guards Warn Of War Beyond Mideast ...

Iran warned on Wednesday that the Middle East war would spread far beyond the region if the United States and Israel resumed their attacks, after President Donald Trump threatened to strike again unless a deal is reached.

A ceasefire on April 8 brought a halt to the conflict, which has roiled the global economy, but with Washington and Tehran seemingly reluctant to resume the fighting a war of words has taken its place.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened Tehran with renewed military action, while Iranian officials have hit back with their own warnings of devastating action.




Mace targets Squad Dem with proposed constitutional ban on foreign-born lawmakers

Mace's proposal would affect more than a dozen naturalized citizens currently serving in Congress, including several Republicans
Mace amendment would bar Ilhan Omar ...

Under the U.S. Constitution, anyone who is not a "natural-born citizen" is barred from becoming president or vice president.

Now, a House Republican wants to expand that requirement to much of the federal government.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., plans to introduce a joint resolution Wednesday proposing a constitutional amendment requiring members of Congress, federal judges and other Senate-confirmed appointees to be natural-born citizens.

The proposal would affect more than a dozen naturalized citizens currently serving in Congress, including several Republicans.

Mace specifically called out progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who was born in Somalia and became a naturalized citizen in 2000.



Omar silent when confronted on alleged ties to massive Minnesota fraud scandal

Omar has faced criticism in recent months for not complying with investigations into the fraud scandal
WATCH: Omar silent when confronted on ...

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., refused to engage when asked by Fox News Digital if she would cooperate with the investigation into Minnesota’s "Feeding Our Future" scheme.

The progressive lawmaker is accused of having ties to those involved in the scandal that federal prosecutors say cost taxpayers roughly $250 million. But when asked about her connections, Omar stayed silent.

"Did you ask Minnesota Democrats to block the subpoena for the investigation of Feeding Our Future on the state level?" Omar was asked when confronted in the halls of Congress on Monday, but did not respond.

She then ignored a second question: "Would you cooperate with that subpoena and provide documents if they request it here in the House Oversight Committee?"



Dem candidate’s Zionist castration rant sparks firestorm as party leaders rewrite narrative to target GOP

Democrat Maureen Galindo vowed to turn a local ICE facility into a prison for 'American Zionists and former ICE officers'
Jeffries, AOC blame Republicans after ...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other Democrats responded to a Democratic congressional candidate’s "antisemitic" rant about jailing and castrating "American Zionists" by attempting to shift the blame to Republicans.

After progressive Democrat Maureen Galindo stirred up a firestorm of controversy for pledging to open a "prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers," Jeffries and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) said in a joint statement that "MAGA extremists should be ashamed of themselves."

Jeffries and the DCCC accused GOP leaders of backing Galindo, saying, "House Republican leadership must immediately cease propping up this antisemitic candidacy, pull spending in the race and forcefully condemn these comments."



EU Agrees to Implement US Trade Pact After Trump Threats

US trade deal after Trump threats ...

The EU reached a deal Wednesday to implement its side of a nearly year-old trade pact with the United States, in a major step towards ending a roller-coaster of transatlantic tariff battles with President Donald Trump.

Hailing the "good news," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said it showed the bloc was "delivering on its commitments" and bringing "security and stability" for European businesses — which faced a new Trump tariff threat unless the deal kicks in by July 4.

The 27-nation bloc struck an accord with Washington last July setting levies on most European goods at 15%, but to Trump's frustration it had yet to make good on its pledge to scrap levies on most US imports in return.




Platner's deleted Reddit sparks outrage again as he appears to mock wounded soldier: 'Didn't deserve to live'

A former Navy SEAL told Fox News Digital that Platner's post is 'not something we do'
Platner's deleted Reddit sparks outrage ...
Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s deleted Reddit account has continued to cause headaches for his campaign in recent months, and a recently resurfaced post appearing to mock a U.S. soldier almost killed in combat is stirring up more controversy.

"This video never gets old," the Reddit account "P-Hustle" — which Platner has acknowledged he owned — posted in June 2019, in reference to a viral video from the helmet cam of Pfc. Ted Daniels taken during a clash with Taliban fighters in 2012 that ended in Daniels being shot four times. He earned a Purple Heart for his injuries.

"Dumb motherf-----  didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat a-- wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s--- decision possible when it comes to small unit combat."



Mamdani won't attend Israel Day Parade, breaking decades-long mayoral tradition amid antisemitism surge

Two of the city’s most prominent Jewish organizations declined an invitation to a Jewish heritage event in response to Mamdani’s policies
Mamdani won't attend Israel Day Parade ...

Democratic-socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City is being slammed by Jewish groups for his decision to miss the city’s historic Israel Day Parade. His decision comes as the Big Apple wrestles with record levels of antisemitism.

Home to the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, Jewish New Yorkers have long viewed the annual parade as one of the city’s clearest public displays of solidarity with both the Jewish state and the community. On Tuesday, two of the city’s most prominent Jewish organizations declined an invitation to a Jewish heritage event held at Gracie Mansion in response to Mamdani’s latest snub.

"Since the very first Israel Parade in 1964, every single sitting Mayor of New York City has joined in the festive celebrations. New York has historically been proud of its deep relationship with Israel. Not joining the parade is an affront to the history of New York City," Moshe Davis, former executive director of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism under Mayor Eric Adams, told Fox News Digital.



Rep. Massie KO'd by Trump-Backed Challenger Gallrein

Hot - Ed Gallrein defeated Rep. Thomas ...

President Donald Trump's May revenge tour remains unabated, with Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., the latest casualty.

Massie lost his Republican primary Tuesday for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, becoming the latest GOP lawmaker defeated after drawing Trump's political wrath.

Decision Desk HQ called the race for Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, about 90 minutes after polls closed. With about 69% of the votes counted, Gallrein was at 53.8% and Massie at 46.2%.

Gallrein defeated the 10-term congressman after a bruising and expensive primary that evolved into a national test of Trump's influence inside the Republican Party. The president had targeted Massie over disagreements involving government spending, foreign policy disputes, and criticism of Republican leadership.




Trump’s steadfast approach to ‘no nukes’ for Iran shows his unwavering resolve

By Michael Goodwin

The Democratic left’s favorite caricature of President Trump describes him as recklessly impulsive, wildly inconsistent and addicted to shooting from the hip.

The image is powerful boob bait for the uninformed, but it is demonstrably false when it comes to matters of great importance. ­Exhibit A is Trump’s consistent and decade-long patient policies toward Iran.

For years he has been saying the mullahs would never be allowed to get nuclear weapons on his watch.

It was a major theme of his first campaign and first term.



MAGA voters trigger anti-incumbent earthquake, and it's little wonder why
Cassidy, Massie, Crenshaw ousted while Cornyn faces runoff and Capito drops 20 points from her 2020 margin
By David Marcus

Over the past several days, two Republican thorns in President Donald Trump’s side, in the form of Sen. Bill Cassidy, of Louisiana, and Rep. Thomas Massie, of Kentucky, have been ousted in their primaries by GOP voters and by very healthy margins. But this is about much more than Trump.

All over the country, the animating issue for most Republican voters I talk to is rather simple. They say, "We gave the party the House, the Senate, and The White House, so why can’t popular legislation like the Save America Act, pass?"

In other words, what is the point of electing Republicans if they won’t do anything?

The carnage among incumbents thus far is severe and historic. It wasn’t just Cassidy getting trounced, his GOP Senate colleague John Cornyn of Texas, also appeared on the verge of defeat, even before Trump endorsed his opponent Ken Paxton on Tuesday. And longtime anti-Trumper Mitch McConnell has retired from politics, likely leaving his seat to a Trump-endorsed candidate.
