Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sen. Bill Cassidy’s (R-LA) loss in the Louisiana Republican primary showed there was “no room” in the Republican Party to oppose President Donald Trump’s agenda. Host Kristen Welker said, “Let me ask you about the news overnight, Senator Bill Cassidy losing his primary in Louisiana. You worked closely with Senator Cassidy on a range of different issues, including a plan to replace Obamacare. He, of course, voted to convict President Trump back in 2021. And the impeachment trial. Now he’s lost his seat. Are you glad that Senator Cassidy…

The episode underscores how President Donald Trump is wielding immense sway over his party by torpedoing…

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has strongly criticized Americans who believe we shouldn’t sell advanced artificial intelligence hardware to China, focusing especially on analogies comparing AI chips to nuclear weapons.

The session, which was streamed on YouTube, covered various aspects of the hardware…

This weekend’s Eurovision Song Contest, the 70th edition of the spectacle, continued Israel’s streak of coming in second place, but represented a massive diplomatic and public relations win for a country leftist agitators have been trying to expel from the event for years.

The Democratic Party’s dominance of the Golden State may be waning. More than 900,000 ballots turned in by early voters in the June 2 primary show more than a three-fold surge in Republican votes compared to the last governor’s race four years ago, according to newly released data. Data linked in a post over the weekend from the research firm Political Data (PDI) showed that “out of 905,889 ballots that have been returned, 37% were from Republicans, with Republican returns up 11% compared to the same stage of the 2022 midterms.” the California Post reported. The data also showed that…

Washington is no longer confronting Beijing from a position of unquestioned domination Last week’s Trump-Xi summit produced no dramatic declaration or historic treaty – yet its importance may prove far greater than any immediate deliverable. What happened in Beijing was not a breakthrough in policy but a breakthrough in recognition: the United States openly acknowledged China as an equal center of global power. That alone marks a historic turning point.For decades, American administrations approached China from the assumption that Beijing was either a manageable challenger or a state that would eventually integrate into a US-led international order on American terms.…

A large majority of Germans say they are “concerned” about the state of the government and see no political options for improvement, yet paradoxically, a plurality says they don’t want the present political settlement, in which the country’s highest-polling party remains locked out of government, to change. A considerable 84 per cent of Germans say they feel “great or very great” concern about the political “state of affairs” in their country, polling finds, as faith in the government’s ability to find the right answers continues to collapse. That the answer to Germany’s problems requires more than just a new government was underlined…
