Despite continued military strikes in the Middle East, Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared this week that the Iran war is “over.” The statement came on Tuesday during a budget request hearing, which was also the first time that Rubio was publicly questioned by lawmakers since the administration launched its war against Iran in late February. Although Rubio’s responses “were to date the most specific to be offered publicly on the U.S. negotiating position,” according to The Washington Post, the hearing provided little reassurance that the administration has a path forward to ending the unpopular war it started three months…

Democrats criticized President Donald Trump for starting a war with Iran. Now some of them are criticizing him for trying to end it. “This [Iranian] regime is getting money to rebuild, purchase more drones, cause more havoc” through the ceasefire and proposed peace deal, Sen. Cory Booker (D–N.J.) told Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a Tuesday congressional hearing. And Sen. John Fetterman (D–Pa.) accused Trump of trying to “cave [to Iran] just for political convenience” in an interview with the Jewish Insider published on Wednesday. These Democrats have become unlikely allies to Republican hawks who want the war to…
So we as a nation are waiting for the system to break down so we’re forced to empty the overstuffed freezer and start over.

As a nation, we’re so wealthy we can stuff millions of freezers with food that is never consumed…

U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico has accused his competitor, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, of being lenient on criminals who sexually abuse children. Talarico, an educator and Democrat state lawmaker, told CBS News on May 27 that his Republican rival “should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles,” a reference to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The next day, Talarico’s campaign posted a social media ad on X showing TV clips about the Hoffman case. “Adam Hoffman abused a little boy for 3 years,” the post said. “He should have faced life in prison — but Ken Paxton and his…
HUNTINGTON BEACH — In a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in nearly two decades and where Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly two to one in registered voters, Tuesday night belonged to two conservative political outsiders who based their campaigns on a simple message: Californians deserve better. Former Fox News host Steve Hilton and reality television veteran Spencer Pratt arrived at their respective races with thinner war chests than their establishment rivals, no prior experience in elected office, and campaigns built less on policy infrastructure than on raw charisma, populist messaging, and an uncomplicated argument: that California leaders had failed,…
