Get ready for a rare working weekend in the Senate with no break in sight. Majority Leader John Thune is keeping senators at the Capitol the next few days to continue debating an all-but-doomed elections bill and advance nominees. Senators may have to work through the following weekend as well if the Department of Homeland Security is still shut down, threatening their planned two-week recess. “I’m not excited about it,” one GOP senator told POLITICO. In the meantime, the Senate is expected to vote again Friday on a DHS funding bill that will fail. — ‘SAVE’ action Saturday: Senators will likely…
Iran claims that its players will be “unsafe” if they play their World Cup matches in the U.S. this year and they want their games moved to drug cartel-infested Mexico. The demand comes on the heels of President Trump’s comments last week that Iran was welcome to participate in the World Cup, even though he had launched a targeted military action to take out Iran’s terror-supporting Mullah regime. But even though he welcomed Team Iran to the World Cup, he added that maybe it would be a better idea for Iran to pull out of the World Cup for “their…
Teamsters President Sean O’Brien sat behind Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) in a sign of support as he faced a Senate confirmation hearing to become the next Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary. Mullin infamously had a dust-up with O’Brien back in 2023 during a Senate hearing, where the two seemingly sought to fight each other over comments that O’Brien had made online about Mullin. Since the incident went viral, though, Mullin and O’Brien have become friends. When President Donald Trump announced Mullin’s nomination, O’Brien endorsed his nomination. “If anyone is willing to stand their butt up to protect America, it’s…

Iran and Russia are democratising suicide attack drones like the Shahed-type, familiar in both the Ukraine and Iran wars, to such an extent that soon aerial strikes will be within the reach of terrorists, criminal gangs, and even lone-wolf attackers, Zelensky warned. Europe has to improve its security infrastructure to outpace the racing progress in drone warfare if it is to protect its way of life against the democratisation of cheap, potent devices, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky told an audience of lawmakers in London on Tuesday.

The US has been drawn by Israel into an “unlawful war” against Iran and needs help to disengage, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi has said.In an opinion piece published in The Economist on Wednesday, the Middle East nation’s top diplomat called on US allies in the region to “tell the truth” about the conflict and admit that Washington “has lost control” of its own foreign policy. “There are two parties to this war who have nothing to gain from it,” he wrote, referring to the US and Iran.The US maintains close security and defense partnerships with six Gulf states –…
Born Again Blondes Have More Fun I try hard not to unfairly attack people. But we all still have, as of this moment, a constitutionally protected right to our opinion. The Bill of Rights may be in critical condition, but it still lives. Public figures can be critiqued. Erika Kirk is undeniably gorgeous. Charlie Kirk was hardly the only man who would have fallen hard for her. Shortly after Charlie Kirk was assassinated last September 10, his grieving widow appeared on the scene. She was largely unknown to the general public before that. Now everyone knows her. We all became…
On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “11th Hour,” MS NOW host Ali Velshi argued that recently killed Iranian official Ali Larijani “was very sort of Western-facing and someone America could deal with. He became hardline after we pulled out of the nuclear deal, which happened in a lot of Iranian society.” Velshi said, “They took out Ali Larijani. Larijani is largely thought [of] as the guy who’s been actually running this war, because they’ve taken out so many people at the top. Interesting thing about Larijani, this is very typical in Iranian politics right now, he was a negotiator in the…
On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Reed O’Connor ruled to uphold a September injunction against enforcement of a post office carry ban against Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) members. The injunction also prevents enforcement against Firearms Policy Coalition members. Breitbart News reported that an injunction was issued against the carry ban in September 2025. SAF noted that “the government filed a motion to limit the scope of the injunction to only the named individual plaintiffs and to members of SAF and its partner organizations who were members when the complaint was originally filed and who have been identified and verified.”…
