 My son has narrated the last book I wrote.
Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click HERE) World & Nation Iran says it’s halting Israel attacks after Trump tells both sides ‘stop shooting’  Iran’s joint military command said Monday it was halting offensive operations against Israel after President Trump called for both sides to lay down their weapons in his first public comments since the Middle Eastern enemies traded attacks in the largest escalation of hostilities in more than two months. The joint command warned that if Israel or its allies carried out any further “aggression and hostile acts,” including against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, “much more severe and crushing measures than before will follow.” “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting,’” Trump had written in a brief post on Truth Social after Iran sent three waves of missiles toward the Jewish state, while Israeli forces targeted truck-based surface-to-air launchers and petrochemical facilities inside the Islamic Republic. There was no immediate word of any casualties in the most intense exchange since a cease-fire between the US and Iran took effect April 8.
Iranian president declares that Tehran still open to peace negotiations  Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran has not left the negotiating table Monday after a weekend of trading attacks with Israel. Pezeshkian says Iran is committed to emerging from the conflict "triumphant," but said that could come through either "diplomacy or defense." "Our priority is national security and the peace of our people. We will defend the rights of the nation with authority and will not retreat in the face of any threat. Diplomacy and defense are the two wings of national power; we have neither abandoned the field nor the negotiating table. God willing, with unity and rationality, Iran will emerge triumphant from this trial as well," Pezeshkian wrote in a post on X. Yemen's Iran-Backed Houthis Threaten Israeli Shipping in Red Sea  Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday that they would ban Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, adding to challenges for global shipping through the Middle East during the Iran war. The group said in a statement it had launched an attack on Israel and enacted a total ban on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, warning of further escalation. Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping may worry energy markets more than three months into Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and with the war reigniting overnight. A Houthi source told Reuters that preventing Israeli ships from transiting the Red Sea was a first step, and that further escalation could lead it to stop the passage of any ships bound for Israel as well as other measures.
Trump storms off 'Meet the Press' interview, rips Welker, ABC, CBS, CNN as 'crooked' The confrontation came after Welker pressed Trump on election fraud, California’s vote count and his proposed 'anti-weaponization' fund  President Trump abruptly ended a tense "Meet the Press" interview after Kristen Welker pressed him on election claims, California’s vote count and his proposed "weaponization" fund. President Donald Trump abruptly ended a tense "Meet the Press" interview with host Kristen Welker in Wisconsin Sunday after she repeatedly challenged his claims about election fraud, California’s vote count and his proposed "anti-weaponization" fund. Trump cut off the interview after accusing NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN of being "crooked" during a final exchange over his claims about U.S. elections. The exchange escalated during the final block, when Welker pressed Trump on a proposed $1.8 billion fund intended to compensate people who said they were targeted by the former President Joe Biden administration’s alleged "weaponization" of government.

"Has anybody been watching the CROOKED Election going on in California," Trump wrote late Sunday night on Truth Social. "Two great Republican Candidates are being cheated, and so is America, which if the Dumocrats are able to fulfill their mission, great trouble and consternation will follow. Watch this 'Election' closely!!!" He renewed those concerns Monday morning while sharing an X post from Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Ariz., who criticized California's election system after vote tallies shifted in the Los Angeles mayoral race. "No way this could have happened. Rigged Election!" Trump wrote. Hamadeh had reposted a Decision Desk HQ projection showing Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman securing the second runoff spot in the nonpartisan mayoral primary.
Noncitizens on voter rolls in Democrat-run state exposed as RNC chair pledges secure elections Most noncitizens were registered as Democrats and discovered their status while pursuing naturalization, RNC chairman says  Noncitizens in a key blue state were on the voter rolls for years — and some even voted in prior elections, according to documents obtained via public records request. The New Jersey Republican Party (NJGOP) and the Republican National Committee (RNC) requested voter rolls from all 21 counties in the Garden State and found multiple instances of noncitizens seeking naturalization asking to be removed from the rolls, claiming they were unknowingly registered to vote. Most were registered as Democrats. Noncitizens cannot vote in state or federal elections, and the candidates for citizenship worried that being on the rolls would disqualify them. Word is spreading through Russian lines in the Ukraine war: When they’re forced to actually fight, they get wiped out  There are phrases associated with the Ukraine war that those of us covering it, now in its 5th year, have grown more than weary of. Rather tellingly, these phrases are discontinued once proven to be completely erroneous in their assumptions. One of the more famous of these dates back to the beginning of the war: “the Ukrainians cannot win.” Somewhat surprisingly, that view was still being expressed as recently as last year. But in 2026, when Ukraine is continuing a relentless campaign of drone strikes with devastating results, it seems out of synch with the current state of affairs. Walz administration ignored fraud warnings as billions vanished, House oversight report alleges Comer sent a letter to JD Vance urging full review of Minnesota's social services programs for vulnerabilities to fraud  A Republican-led congressional oversight report alleges that senior Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., failed for years to act on warnings about fraud in the state’s social services programs, allowing hundreds of millions of dollars in confirmed or alleged losses and placing billions more at risk. The Walz administration had the power to stop fraudulent payments to high-risk entities receiving federal nutrition and Medicaid funds, but the state "repeatedly failed to act" after officials raised concerns, according to a 205-page final staff report released by the House Oversight Committee on Monday. Congressional investigators found that concerns about potential racial discrimination claims — rather than legal constraints — contributed to the Walz administration's decision to continue paying providers suspected of fraud. The committee also spoke to nearly 30 whistleblowers, some of whom accused the Walz administration of retaliation against state employees for sounding the alarm about potential fraud. New Jersey police tackle, arrest multiple anti-ICE agitators on another tense night outside detention facility 6 arrested for rioting/failure to disperse for obstructing vehicles, police outside Delaney Hall A weeks-long standoff between protesters and police led to more arrests again Sunday outside Delaney Hall, the New Jersey immigration detention center targeted by political activists seeking to rile up unrest for their open-borders agenda. Protesters obstructing the passage of vehicles outside the gates were fought back off the street and in some instances tackled and arrested after clashing with Newark Police Department officers who had shouted repeated orders to "back up," a video posted online showed. One activist appeared to be holding his head after he fell back after getting too close to arresting officers. He then proceeded to continue filming at a safer distance, apparently without serious injury. Soft-on-crime judges need consequences. The JAIL Act delivers Bill would eliminate judicial immunity for federal and state judges whose leniency leads to new violent crimes By Sen. Tim Sheehy
Former FBI deputy director Dan Bongino discusses the alarming rise in violent attacks on trains nationwide and outlines solutions on ‘The Will Cain Show.’ Over and over again, radical judges and government officials in liberal cities put law-abiding Americans at risk by allowing dangerous criminals to roam freely on our streets. Instead of holding criminals behind bars to protect our communities, these soft-on-crime judges release violent repeat offenders on bail, giving them the opportunity to commit more crimes. You see it in the news nearly every week: A deranged criminal commits a violent crime against an innocent member of society, and before you know it, stories are coming out about how the offender had been arrested a dozen times previously and should never have been out on our streets in the first place. Many remember the tragic death of Iryna Zarutska, the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was fatally stabbed on the Charlotte, North Carolina, Blue Line train in August 2025. Decarlos Brown Jr. has been charged with her murder and also faces federal charges, but his competency to stand trial is in question. He is a man with a history of mental illness and who’d been arrested and released at least 14 times before allegedly killing Iryna, including on charges for armed robbery, felony larceny, breaking and entering and assault. The Southern Poverty Law Center’s long-running scam is getting even shadier By David Harsanyi
It turns out the most generous funder of white supremacist groups in the United States was likely the Southern Poverty Law Center. At least that’s what the Justice Department’s superseding indictment against the SPLC alleges. The organization secretly paid informants to engage in actively promoting and funding racist groups, while denouncing and “fighting” the very same groups in public. |
