On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that “I’ve got legislation that will allow President Trump to put tariffs on China for buying Russian oil and gas, and I’ll do the same thing for Iran down the road.” And that if the summit between the U.S. and China ends and “they’re still doing the same damn thing with Iran and Russia and we don’t punish China, we’ve made a mistake.” Graham said, “This is going to be judged by me, if China still buys 90% of Iranian oil, they still are the number…

Fired CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert held his own Late Show funeral on Monday night and invited all four late-night hosts — who are equally on the cancellation bubble — onto his stage to lament the end of Colbert’s show. Joining Colbert on the stage Monday were anti-Trump extremist Jimmy Kimmel of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jimmy Fallon of NBC’s The Tonight Show, Seth Meyers of NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, and hardcore leftist John Oliver from HBO’s Last Week Tonight. Calling the crew of ratings disasters his “best television friends,” Colbert invited each of the hosts on to…

Mark Rutte has reportedly asked allies to devote 0.25% of their GDP to supporting Kiev NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has urged member states to devote 0.25% of their GDP to aid for Ukraine, Politico Europe reported on Tuesday, citing diplomatic sources.Rutte reportedly raised the issue during a closed door meeting of NATO ambassadors late last month.

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Source,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) predicted the Senate would vote to end the war against Iran. Kaine said, “Anything that brings this war to an end would be a positive. The cease fire we’re in should be extended. The president has said he might start, you know, bombing again tomorrow. Republicans, even those who have supported the war, are telling him, don’t do this. We had a War Powers Resolution vote today and, you know, we had one Republican with us to say no war against Iran without a vote of Congress, then two, then three…

American voters appear to not be quite so keen on Democrats as the crucial midterms loom, according to a recent CNN poll. The percentages show Democrats sliding as the days tick by and as Republicans are also gearing up for the 2026 midterm elections. “The poll finds registered voters closely split in their partisan preference ahead of the midterms, with 45% saying they’d support a Democratic candidate for Congress, 42% a Republican candidate, and 14% neither,” the CNN article said. “Polling on congressional preference this year, including previous CNN surveys, has largely given Democrats the advantage. Voters who aren’t sold on…

“Our research and reporting is causing massive reverberations not just in Beijing but in Mexico City,” says author and President of the Government Accountability Institute Peter Schweizer. News in the past two weeks shows that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is playing hardball with the government of Mexico in its attempts to undermine American sovereignty from its consulates and its cartel-allied politicians. Two weeks ago, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment against Ruben Roca Mora, the governor of the Mexican state of Sinaloa, and several of his associates, charging them with drug trafficking. Just last week, the State Department began…

Senior House lawmakers late Wednesday reached a bipartisan deal on housing affordability legislation and scheduled a floor vote for next week. The final House text would maintain restrictions on Wall Street’s purchase of single-family homes — a priority for President Donald Trump — but would significantly scale back the Senate bill’s limitations on so-called institutional investors in the housing market. If the House passes its legislation, the bill would have to go back to the Senate for final approval before it reaches Trump’s desk — even as the White House has pushed the lower chamber to pass the Senate’s 21st…

The chancellor urged workers to see welfare cuts not as a “threat” but as “a big chance” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was booed and mocked during a speech on Tuesday to one of the country’s biggest trade union groups as he tried to sell his welfare cut plans.Merz has a history of blaming Germany’s economic troubles on its people. Last August, he said that the “welfare state as we have it today can no longer be financed.” In January, he urged Germans to work more, arguing that the “productivity of our economy is not high enough.”He told a gathering of…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said that he’s doubtful China will stop buying Iran’s oil and thinks “they’re going to continue to skirt the embargo rules that we placed on Iran.” Host Blake Burman asked, “Should he be direct and have a long and frank conversation with Xi Jinping about Iran, or is it that he’s doing [so] well that we say…it’s not needed?” Comer answered, “No, I think the president will have that conversation with President Xi. Look, this is something that he’s probably not going to broadcast, because more than likely, China…

The Trump administration may use the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to expose illegal aliens working in U.S. jobs, according to the New York Times. Three people familiar with discussions surrounding the IRS’s individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) told the New York Times that the administration is suggesting that the agency “differentiate codes for undocumented immigrants from those of other people with ITINs.” ITINs are used by “people living abroad who owe U.S. taxes, some immigrants with legal status,” along with illegal aliens, according to the outlet: Currently, a relatively large pool of people can receive an ITIN to put on their…
