President Donald Trump predicted Thursday that the war with Iran will end “pretty soon,” saying Tehran cannot sustain the conflict much longer as he revealed that he is personally involved in negotiations toward a potential agreement over the Strait of Hormuz. “I think it’s going to end pretty soon,” Trump told reporters during an Oval Office event. “I don’t think they can go much longer.” Trump made the prediction while defending the U.S.-led military campaign against Iran, which he said was necessary to prevent the Islamic Republic from obtaining a nuclear weapon. “They can’t have a nuclear weapon, otherwise the…

The Tariff-Fueled U.S. Manufacturing Revival Is Here So much for the idea that tariffs would damage U.S. productivity and manufacturing. Ever since Donald Trump returned to the White House and especially since Trump’s Liberation Day tariff announcement, the economic press has reported that American manufacturing is struggling under President Trump’s tariffs. Even worse: stories have frequently claimed that manufacturing is struggling because of the tariffs. The Wall Street Journal declared manufacturing “in retreat.” The Associated Press said tariffs were “hurting American manufacturers instead of helping them.” Reuters reported that import duties had undercut manufacturing. There’s just one problem: none of that…

Anthony Fauci’s lawyer claims the Senate panel decision to hold the former White House chief medical adviser in contempt of Congress is nothing more than a “crude political stunt.” In a statement following the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s 8-5 vote to hold Fauci in contempt, Fauci’s lawyer David Schertler said, “Today’s partisan committee vote is a crude political stunt intended to punish Dr. Fauci for exercising his constitutional rights. “The Senate should reject Senator Paul’s meritless and politically motivated contempt resolution,” he added. Paul, chairman of the committee, explained that it would have been very simple for Fauci to simply answer…

Staten Island patriot artist and relentless Trump-supporting activist Scott LoBaido suffered cardiac arrest Tuesday night at a pro-police National Night Out Against Crime event after attempting to confront radical socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and later revealed from his hospital bed that he “actually died for 2 minutes.” LoBaido, 61, the hard-charging conservative known for his massive American flag murals, anti-left stunts, and fierce defense of cops and America, collapsed at the Midland Beach boardwalk event in Staten Island shortly after Mamdani was mercilessly booed off the stage by the crowd.

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday announced the decertification of the organ procurement organization Network for Hope for “persistent patient safety failures,” citing an instance where a man showed signs of awareness while on the operating table, about to have his organs removed. “The federal government’s first responsibility is to protect human life and patients. When Americans register as an organ donor, they make one of the most generous decisions imaginable. One donor can save up to eight lives and enhance dozens more. Yet today, more than 103,000 Americans are waiting for life-saving transplants,”…

Sen. Jon Husted said Thursday his fellow Ohio Republican, Rep. Max Miller, should “step aside as a candidate and resign from Congress” — breaking days of silence about the burgeoning controversy over domestic abuse claims that Miller denies. Husted serves alongside Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), the father of Miller’s ex-wife. He remained quiet on the issue this week even after Bernie Moreno broke his own silence Sunday to denounce Miller as unfit for office and in need of “professional help.” Husted said in his latest statement he does “not see how a campaign for Congress benefits” Miller, ex-wife Emily Moreno…

Never.”This is the testimony of Sister Elizaveta from the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem. In an exclusive interview with RT she outlines the abuse and attacks nuns from the mission are being subjected to in the Holy City.At the end of July, Sister…

Todd Blanche completed a difficult step in his confirmation process to become the next Attorney General, as the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance his nomination the other day. The committee voted along party lines. Blanche now needs to be confirmed by the Senate at-large. He needs at least a simple majority of 51 votes and can only afford to lose three GOP Senators. All 47 Senate Democrats are expected to vote against the final confirmation. Vice President JD Vance would cast a tiebreaker vote if needed. Senator Mitch McConnell, R-KY, has been missing for over 50 days after being…
