Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is notorious, at least locally, for avoiding conflict. Despite what his international critics, and Israel’s enemies, say, he is no “warmonger”; in fact, many Israelis fault him for avoiding war until it is inevitable, as was the case after October 7. But Netanyahu is reaching the point where he will attack Iran’s nuclear sides — and, ironically, it is President Donald Trump who is pushing him there. That might seem odd, given that Trump has been more supportive of Israel than any other U.S. president. Since returning to office, Trump has undone President Joe Biden’s…

In a saga that reads more like a political thriller than a real estate dispute, Texas businessman Timothy Barton is at the center of a high-stakes legal storm that some allege is less about justice and more about silencing dissent. Timothy Barton—a Christian businessman, proud Trump supporter, and founder of the successful JMJ Development—has, in yet another glaring example of Biden-era political persecution, become the latest target of lawfare by a weaponized federal government more interested in shielding the Chinese Communist Party than protecting American citizens. Barton’s “crime”? Sounding the alarm on what he believed to be a covert Chinese…
