ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France—President Donald Trump told Breitbart News and other outlets on the sidelines of the G7 on Tuesday that he expects additional Arab countries to join the Abraham Accords.

Trump-backed Oklahoma House candidate Jackson Lahmeyer suspended his bid Wednesday minutes after the president flipped his endorsement in the race, after the Tulsa pastor admitted to “crossing a boundary line” in texting a woman who is not his wife. “I greatly appreciate Jackson Lahmeyer’s hard work under difficult circumstances — He has always been with me, and I will always be with him,” Trump wrote in a social media post in which he threw his support behind Lahmeyer’s opponent, state Rep. Mark Tedford. On Sunday, The Daily Mail published text messages Lahmeyer exchanged with a former Miss Oklahoma pageant winner.…

Rupert Lowe’s investigation implicates Keir Starmer’s government in the mass victimization of white girls by Pakistani men At least 250,000 British girls suffered sickening sexual abuse by Pakistani gangs, who were enabled by police, social workers, and even Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to commit “child rape on an industrial scale,” British MP Rupert Lowe’s ‘Rape Gang Report’ has detailed. Published on Tuesday, the 218-page report makes for sobering reading. It details the decades-long abuse of hundreds of thousands of white British girls – and smaller numbers of white boys and Sikh girls – by organized Pakistani ‘grooming gangs’ in 149 districts…

The president of the international soccer federation FIFA, Gianni Infantino, made a surprise appearance in the locker room of the Iranian national team on Monday night to offer words of support and comfort following a 2-2 tie against New Zealand in the World Cup. Infantino was welcomed with a flurry of complaints about the “unfair” conditions the team was playing in as a result of the country’s status as the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism, complicating entry into the United States. He nonetheless insisted that he understood the team’s struggled and expressed admiration for their presence in the…

The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on Wednesday and, in Kevin Warsh’s first meeting as chairman, released a policy statement less than half the length of its predecessor, scrapping the forward-guidance language that had anchored Fed communication for more than a decade. “It is shorter and simpler,” Warsh explained. The decision was unanimous, 12 to 0. Powell’s final statement on April 29 drew four dissents: Miran wanted a quarter-point cut, while Hammack, Kashkari, and Logan backed the hold but objected to the easing bias the statement carried. Warsh’s statement carries no easing bias—no directional…

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says illegal aliens enrolled in former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) are “the gold standard of immigrants” in the United States. This week marked 14 years since Obama created DACA via executive action. The quasi-amnesty program has allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to avoid deportation solely because they were smuggled into the U.S. as children. During an interview this week, Pelosi praised DACA illegal aliens and touted that House Democrats have repeatedly sought to give them amnesty, including a pathway to American citizenship. “Freedoms for these DREAMers to be in the…

More than a dozen groups including former Vice President Mike Pence’s Advancing American Freedom are urging Senate Commerce Committee leaders to reject efforts to attach kids’ online safety measures to a national artificial intelligence framework, according to a letter shared exclusively with POLITICO. The groups argue that the proposed measures could undermine users’ free speech rights while creating new risk to privacy and data security. Their push comes as lawmakers weigh broader AI legislation, and follows reports last week that Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is working with the White House to shore up support for a kids’ safety package that…
