The fact is, Democrats. I made a very calculated decision to shut down the department because they do not want to enforce our…

Podcasters Joe Rogan and Theo Von, who both hosted President Trump during the 2024 election, have strongly criticized military action in Iran. Appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience, comedian Theo Von pontificated on the military operation and its eventual outcome. “What do you think is gonna happen?” Von asked Rogan. “Do you think we’re gonna be OK?” “I hope so, of course. I don’t know,” Rogan responded. “I’m confused. I can’t believe we went into this war. When we started bombing Iran, I was like, ‘This can’t be true.’” Both Rogan and Von seemed to reject the tactics made to…
During this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) applauded President Donald Trump for the U.S. military’s progress in what he described as “systemically” eliminating the threat Iran posed to Americans and our allies. “What does it tell you about where we are with the capabilities of Iran’s missile launching, their air defenses, the fact that they do still have some tools in their belt?” host Shannon Bream asked. McCormick replied, “Well, I think you really have to step back. Five presidents have essentially said that we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon and that Iran…

Hensarling told Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle that the proposal would democratize 401(k)s to give Americans more options to invest in. Most retirement plans typically have limited broad-basket investment options such as…

During an interview on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, Turner was asked by host George Stephanopoulos if it was realistic to think that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen “naturally” or if it would take “ground troops.” “In any conflict, certainly, Iran is going to have some things that they’re going to be able to do, during the conflict — but, if you don’t undertake the conflict, if you…
The wording is familiar. The urgency is always absolute. The implication is unmistakable: Israel is not choosing war. It is forced into it. For many, the claim is inherently contradictory. How can a state initiate war – and in Gaza’s case, sustain a genocide – while insisting that it is merely defending itself from annihilation? Yet within Israeli political discourse, and across much of Western media, this contradiction is rarely interrogated. It is normalized. That normalization is not incidental. It is foundational. Dimona is not an ordinary town. It lies adjacent to the Negev Nuclear Research Center, widely understood to…
