President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that the State of Israel should drop corruption charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, especially given his role in leading Israel in the recent war. Netanyahu faces charges relating to petty corruption — such as receiving cigars from a friend — that supporters say are politically motivated. The cases are weak enough that even the judges suggested that prosecutors should drop at least one of the charges. Nevertheless, the trial has proceeded, with Netanyahu forced to testify even during wartime, as his critics say the trial proves that no one is above the law…
On Thursday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” American Beverage Association President and CEO Kevin Keane talked about soda and beverages and health. Keane said that concerns about people drinking their calories are valid “and we acknowledge that we have to be part of the solution. … And what we’re proud of, Alex, is we’ve been doing that 15, going on 20 years now in a conscientious way. We’ve been driving down the calories we put in the marketplace. We’re actually down 42%, the beverage calories that we’re putting in the marketplace. And we’re doing that, primarily, Alex, by creating more choices for the…
The White House is close to clinching an agreement on the state and local tax deduction after a last-ditch flurry of negotiations with blue-state House GOP holdouts and Senate Republicans, according to three people granted anonymity to describe the talks. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who is brokering the politically complex deal that is key to unlocking the GOP megabill, will attend Senate Republicans lunch later today, according to a another person with direct knowledge of the matter.

West Jerusalem would not have needed US permission for the move, Israel Katz has said Israel would have targeted Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei if it had had the opportunity, Defense Minister Israel Katz has said. His remarks came just days after Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, ending nearly two weeks of open hostilities.“I estimate that if Khamenei had been in our sights, we would have taken him out,” Katz told Israel’s Channel 13 on Thursday, as cited by Reuters.“But Khamenei understood this, went underground to great depths, and cut off communication with the commanders who replaced those…
Tesla’s Robotaxis Are Here: Technological breakthrough or disguised control? Austin, Texas has been chosen as the launchpad for what many are calling the dawn of a new transportation era: Tesla has officially introduced its self-driving taxi service, with autonomous vehicles set to revolutionize urban mobility. Elon Musk, CEO of the company, celebrated the moment as “the culmination of a decade of hard work,” hailing the project as an unprecedented technological milestone. But behind the excitement lies a deeper concern—this shift could redefine not just the auto industry, but our personal freedom and privacy as well. The pilot program features ten…
Could private equity be making its way into the retirement plan sphere?getty President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly considering an executive order to open the $9 trillion U.S. retirement market to private equity and alternative investments, a transformative shift for 401(k) plans.

Empower, the nation’s second-largest retirement plan provider, has already partnered with Apollo, Franklin Templeton, Goldman Sachs, Neuberger Berman, PIMCO, Partners…
This year’s globalist confab: it’s all about technocracy, AI, drones, and the next generation of warfare. The Bilderberg conference, an elite three-day get-together of business, political and academic elites — largely ignored by the mainstream media — is over for another year. At the 2025 conference, held at a five star hotel in Stockholm, around 120 politicians, military leaders, academics and corporate CEOs discussed the pressing issues of the day such as the US economy, depopulation, the Middle East, Ukraine and AI. Gathered at the Grand Hotel alongside the Finnish president and the King of the Netherlands were the heads…
Last week I crossed into Gaza with a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) security convoy. What I saw at the GHF distribution base was both distressing and uplifting. Tens of thousands of people desperate for food pouring into the place, wide-eyed at the piles of aid boxes. But now actually getting their hands on the flour, sugar, cooking oil and other commodities they need to survive. Several of them told me that, until GHF began working a month ago, they’d received hardly any free aid at all for a very long time. Now they can get it and are movingly grateful,…
The Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation showed no signs of tariff-led acceleration in May, offering the latest evidence that President Trump’s tariffs have yet to lift consumer prices—particularly in goods categories most likely to be affected by import levies. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices and is closely watched by Fed officials as a gauge of underlying inflation, rose just 0.2 percent in May. That marked a modest uptick from April’s 0.1 percent pace but remained well within the recent range. The year-over-year rate climbed to 2.7 percent, up slightly…
Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Donald Trump was being cavalier and playing to the rafters while “marketing” the results of the U.S. military strikes on Iran. Slotkin said, “I think the president is not taking his cues from his intelligence community and from his military leaders. He’s obviously playing to the rafters on what he’s saying about the strike, but there’s no way to get around the fact that it was a significant had a significant impact.” Host Nicolle Wallace said, “What do you make of the White House doubling and tripling down on the word…
