Anwar Gargash, a top adviser to United Arab Emirates (UAE) President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ), cast doubt on the success of peace talks with Iran on Friday by warning, “No unilateral Iranian arrangements can be trusted or relied upon following its treacherous aggression against all its neighbors.” Gargash wrote in a post on social media platform X: In the ongoing discussion surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, the collective international will and provisions of international law emerge as the primary guarantor of freedom of navigation through this vital passage, serving the stability of the region and the global economy in the…
Hope Walz, the daughter of disgraced Minnesota governor and failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, called for gun control this week in the aftermath of another attempted assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. “Gun control doesn’t just save Democrats’ lives. It also saves Republican lives,” she said in a TikTok video posted this week, apparently attempting to position herself as a leftist taking moral high ground. “You’d think we’d be at a point now where we could call for some common sense legislation, but I don’t know. I don’t know,” she said sarcastically. “Also here to say that political violence…
Tehran’s resistance to the US exposes Berlin’s dependence, turning the war into a brutal measure of who rules and who obeys Sovereignty, as defined in international law, is both crucial and complex. In the real shark-pool world of geopolitics, it is not hard to spot: if you have the ability to rule at home and resist attack from outside (any outside), then you are sovereign. Otherwise not. No exceptions.That’s why Iran has sovereignty, but Germany does not. Iran has withstood two months of a devious and brutal war of aggression waged by the US and Israel, which in turn is…
Pakistan on Thursday sent representatives to the Chinese port city of Sanya for a ceremony to commission the first of eight Hangor-class attack submarines Islamabad plans to purchase from Beijing. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and naval chief Adm. Naveed Ashraf attended the ceremony in Sanya, along with senior naval officials from both countries. Zardari praised the acquisition of the Hangor-class sub as a “historic milestone” for modernizing Pakistan’s navy and maintaining a “robust, balanced, and credible defense posture.” “The advanced submarine strengthens Pakistan’s maritime defense, protects economic lifelines, and reflects strategic partnership with China,” said a statement from Zardari’s…
A lawsuit filed in Tazewell County, Virginia, is challenging the language of a ballot measure that is set to go before voters in November which would enshrine a right to abortion into the state constitution.

The lawsuit alleges that the ballot language is “deceptive” and would have a whole host of consequences…
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) mocked House Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) after the Democrat warned of “maximum warfare” if Florida Republicans opt to move forward with redistricting plans. Doing an impression of Jeffries’ threats, DeSantis mocked, “‘We gonna do maximum warfare against Republicans. Florida Republicans, you f around, you going to find out.’ All this stuff. And you know what I said was, listen, and he’s like, oh, if you do the redistricting, we’re going to take out all your members. We’re going to do all this stuff.” “And what I said was, go ahead, make my day,” the…
The remark follows the German chancellor’s criticism of US strategy in the Iran war German Chancellor Friedrich Merz should focus on resolving the Ukraine conflict and deal with problems at home instead of questioning Washington’s strategy in the war against Iran, US President Donald Trump has said.Trump was responding to the chancellor’s comment on Monday that the US was being “humiliated” by Iran and that the Trump administration lacked a clear strategy in the conflict.In a post on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump wrote that the “Chancellor of Germany should spend more time on ending the war with Russia/Ukraine (Where…
The Banco Central do Brasil has raised gold’s share of reserves from 3.55% to 7.19% in just one year, effectively doubling its exposure and making gold the second-largest reserve asset after the US dollar, while total reserves stand at approximately $358.23 billion and the dollar’s share has declined to about 72%, marking a record low. This is not a marginal adjustment or routine diversification, it is a structural repositioning that reflects a growing unease with sovereign debt markets. When a central bank reduces dollar exposure while increasing gold holdings, it is not acting randomly but responding to a shift in confidence,…
Communists and socialists celebrated their “May Day” holiday on Friday with parades, marches, and proclamations around the world. In China, the Communist government predicted through its Global Times newspaper that “solid economic growth in the first quarter of 2026” would produce a “May Day travel and consumption boom” that will “validate the strong resilience, inherent vitality, and steady upward momentum of China’s economy.” That actually sounds a lot more like capitalism than communism. The Global Times paid no attention to the ideological underpinnings of May Day, instead gushing over all the money that consumers might finally be willing to spend,…
