Iran’s so-called “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Tuesday that he does not believe nuclear talks with the United States are going well — in contrast to President Donald Trump, who says a deal is near. The Times of Israel reported: “I don’t think nuclear talks with the US will bring results. I don’t know,” Khamenei [said] during a speech in remembrance of Iran’s late president Ebrahim Raisi.” Last week, as he visited the United Arab Emirates as part of a tour through the Arab world, Trump said that he believed a deal was near with Iran — one that would…
It is a “new day” in America as the Trump administration works to address the world economy and “put America first,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said during a policy event with Breitbart News on Tuesday in Washington, D.C.

We went to the beach to prepare for this week, which was the launch of my book and to think about the book and to prepare to answer questions about it. And we were walking back towards the road and we saw in the sand…
Senate Democrats are vowing that Republicans will face consequences over their decision to hold a vote to nix California’s emission standard waivers — even after receiving non-binding guidance from the chamber’s parliamentarian that those waivers didn’t qualify for reversal under the Congressional Review Act process. The rhetorical warning shots come after Majority Leader John Thune announced that Republicans, after weeks of internal party deliberations, would officially move forward with floor votes on three disapproval resolutions to eliminate the Biden-era EPA waivers that effectively let California set its own emission standards. “It’s going nuclear plain and simple, it’s overruling the parliamentarian,”…

British opinion polling on voter intention continues to upend centuries of established convention as traditional party of government the Conservatives fall to a fresh low, polling fourth nationwide.

The Tories suffered a fresh humiliation from the polling, which placed them on just 16 per cent — their lowest ever — and in fourth place, behind Reform,…
State Farm is evidently not satisfied with an emergency 17% rate hike for homeowners in California, and intends to ask for 11% more, adding up to a total of nearly 30% — despite failing its obligations to consumers. As Breitbart News reported earlier this month, California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara granted State Farm’s requested rate hike, despite protests from residents affected by the recent California wildfires. Victims of both the Eaton and Palisades Fires have complained that State Farm engages in “lowballing” estimates of compensation for damages — a practice that, Sen Josh Hawley (R-MO) reported last week, the company…
