[ad_1] President Donald Trump dismissed a War Powers Act resolution that aimed to end the war against Iran as meaningless.  “Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran, the President wrote on Truth Social Thursday. “Who would do such an unpatriotic thing. They know where the negotiations stand.”  The House on Wednesday passed a War Powers Resolution that would direct President Trump to end his war with Iran. The…

[ad_1] The UAE’s decision to leave the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, while initially shocking markets, had in fact been signalled by years of growing tension between the Emirates and other members of the organisation. The withdrawal reflects structural changes in the oil market, increasing competition for market share, and diverging political and commercial interests within OPEC itself. It is also possible that Venezuela might follow the UAE out of the organisation. [ad_2] Source link

[ad_1] Trillions of taxpayer dollars flow through the federal government every year, and a lot of them don’t end up where they are supposed to go. During the 2025 fiscal year, the federal government lost an estimated $186 billion to “improper payments,” according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Most often, those improper payments are the result of errors that resulted in the government “paying someone who was ineligible for federal assistance,” the GAO reports. Since the office started tracking improper payments in 2003, those mistakes have cost taxpayers more than $3 trillion. “Given the magnitude…

[ad_1] When I interviewed Secretary Scott Bessent last Friday at the Reagan Library, he made a number of important points. Wartime points. That is why I have called him the best wartime Treasury secretary since World War II. First of all, at the direction of President Trump he has authored Operation Economic Fury, which is the Iranian blockade that will continue for as far as the eye can see, no matter what happens to the American negotiations with Iran. Mr. Bessent suggested there was no sign of letting up. No $12 billion in cash going to Iran just for their…

[ad_1] In a May 16 Truth Social post, President Donald Trump cited updated climate change scenarios to misleadingly claim that experts had “admitted” prior climate change projections “were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!” The regularly scheduled revision reflects in part the progress the world has made on moving away from fossil fuels. Trump was reacting to a new set of seven scenarios of emissions by the end of the century, proposed in an April 7 paper by an international group of scientists. Over time, the range of plausible scenarios has narrowed. The most pessimistic scenario now shows lower emissions than 15 years ago,…
