Mithal al-Alusi has a message for President Donald Trump: Don’t make a deal with the devil.
“Negotiating with the Islamic Republic of Iran at this time would be like trying to make peace with Hitler the last few days of his life,” said Alusi in a telephone interview this week from Erbil, Kurdistan. “I say: Please, President Trump, do not let them deceive you and turn you into another Obama.”
Twice elected to Iraq’s parliament, Alusi, a champion of human rights, including the rights of women, in the Middle East, has dodged multiple assassination attempts — some by Iran’s regime, he believes. ...
For the first time in more than a year, participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has dipped below 40 million people. Yet fraud concerns and eligibility loopholes remain widespread—particularly in Minnesota as one retired millionaire’s story demonstrates.
Minnesota Millionaire Exposes Loophole
Minnesota’s income-only eligibility rules have created room for millionaire Rob Undersander to become eligible for SNAP benefits because his retirement income falls below the threshold.
To be an elected Democrat is to cripple an entire government agency for weeks on end, all for the purpose of derailing law enforcement, and have the national media treat it like standard partisan bickering.
We’re more than a month into the latest Democrat-led government shutdown with Transportation Security Administration agents going on a second pay period with no income, leading hundreds of them to quit and thousands of them to just not go into work. Travelers are facing security lines that stretch for hours, and that’s on top of still more flight cancellations and delays.
It’s so fortunate for Democrats that the president has started a war they quietly support
The Wall Street Journal ran an editorial under the headline, "The Tragedy of Robert Mueller." Wouldn't a more appropriate editorial have been titled, "The Tragedy of the Lives Robert Mueller Destroyed With His 40 Years of Corrupt Prosecutions"? (snip) Long before he was a doddering front man for the George Soros lawfare types (snip), Mueller was ruining the lives of innocent people in Boston. Specifically, the four wise guys from the North End framed by the FBI for a murder in Chelsea back in 1965. (snip) The FBI framed them for killing a small-time hoodlum named Teddy Deegan, to protect gangsters who were paying them thousands of dollars in bribes.

Discussing Laundering US Tax Dollars to
Biden’s Campaign replies
American intelligence agencies reportedly intercepted some jaw-dropping Ukrainian government communications in late 2022 that show officials openly discussing using supposed clean-energy infrastructure projects as cover to divert hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars.
Divert them where, you may ask?
The plan, according to a report summarizing the intercepts obtained by Just the News, was to route roughly 90% of that money, funneled through U.S. companies and sketchy subcontractors with hard-to-track contracts, straight to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to bankroll Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign.
Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson is among the worst in the country to occupy that office.
Only one week removed from the alleged murder of Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman by a Venezuelan illegal alien released under the Biden administration in 2023, Johnson announced the winners of the city’s “You Name a Plow” contest on Wednesday.
WTTW reports the top entry was the “Abolish ICE” snowplow with other winners Pope Frío XIV, Stephen Coldbert, The Blizzard of Oz, Caleb Chilliams, and Svencoolie.
Some of America’s wealthiest couples are now collecting $100,000 a year in Social Security benefits, a six-figure payout that a new proposal says should be capped to help keep the retirement program solvent beyond 2032.
About 1 million beneficiaries receive at least $50,000 annually — or more than $100,000 for a retired couple — representing less than 2% of the roughly 56 million people age 65 and older who get Social Security, according to an analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. The nonpartisan think tank projects that share will grow over time because of annual cost-of-living adjustments and as more Americans reach retirement age.

Deep Blue cities like Los Angeles and New York City are being hit the hardest.

(snip) less immigration is just loss, because "if immigration remains low (snip) it could lead to problems maintaining a population and a workforce." (snip) the Times doesn't mention that a massive wave of immigration has produced (snip) the massively expensive growth of social services programs in Democrat-run states and cities.
The news out of the United Kingdom every day is so mind-bogglingly stupid, so rife with cultural suicide and betrayal, that it can become numbing. But a brief video that began circulating on Wednesday was even worse than the general run of the daily news out of the Sceptered Isle, and showed, as if anyone on the planet doesn’t know by now, what shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain will be like in five years, and ten.
The video shows several rows of primary schoolchildren, neatly arranged on prayer rugs, kneeling and prostrating themselves before Allah. This was, however, not footage from an Islamic school in Britain or anywhere else. On the contrary,
Justice Clarence Thomas has become the fourth-longest-serving justice in U.S. Supreme Court history as of Thursday.
Thomas reached 12,572 days on the bench—34 years and 153 days—moving past Chief Justice John Marshall, according to tenure calculations based on his October 23, 1991, commission date.
The milestone comes just months after Thomas moved into fifth place, surpassing Justice Hugo Black in November 2025, as previously reported by The Dallas Express. At that time, Thomas had logged 12,448 days and trailed only four justices in total tenure.
Now ranked fourth, Thomas sits behind Justices William O. Douglas, Stephen Johnson Field, and John Paul Stevens. He will not surpass another justice for around
This Saturday, America will be treated to the magnificent migration currently known as the “No Kings March.” This seasonal display generally occurs in the Spring and the Fall, when the weather is fine and people aren’t away on vacation. It has gone by other names in the past, such as "Occupy," “Hands Off,” and “Black Lives Matter,” before settling into its current identity, which is based squarely on opposition to the democratically and popularly elected president. And with a little preparation, even a beginner can enjoy observing and photographing this impressive display!

Trucker Crisis replies
Derek Barrs knew cleaning up the trucking industry would be a big job when President Donald Trump gave him the task, having spent years cracking down on commercial drivers for the Florida Highway Patrol.
Yet, even Barrs was surprised when he took the reins of the federal agency that manages the trucking industry — a crucial facet of the country’s economy currently beleaguered with illegal migrant drivers who can’t speak English, shady companies skirting enforcement regulations and hundreds of trucking schools handing out licenses like candy.
Vile Philadelphia protestors cheered as a masked ringleader celebrated the death of US service members in shocking new footage – before calling for Hamas rockets to explode across American homes.
“For every US soldier that returns home in a casket, we cheer,” the provocateur shouted outside Philadelphia’s city hall, according to footage filmed by local conservative activist Frankie Scales.
“Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy,” the man yelled, with the crowd cheering loudly at each hateful invocation.
It’s a new day and a new story about US taxpayers being screwed over by their own government.
Every time Americans think they’ve finally seen the total run of scams, another ugly little program slithers out of the woodwork. This time it’s a $300 million USDA program that was supposedly about “helping farmers” get land, capital, and access to the markets. Sounds like a sweet deal, right? Until you look closer and realize this was yet another taxpayer-funded setup built around DEI, helping foreigners become US farmers while actual American citizens are getting squeezed like a tube of toothpaste.
The constant betrayal is overwhelming. Americans work, pay taxes, follow the rules, and
There goes an old joke about the three biggest lies ever told. The first can’t be repeated in a family publication. The second: “The check is in the mail.” The third: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”
To this, I think we should add a fourth: “You paid into Social Security all your life. That money is yours.”
Theoretically, of course, that would be nice, which is why it’s been sold to you that way. Politicians will occasionally admit that this isn’t the case — remember Al Gore’s famous “lockbox?” — but by and large the federal government pretends they’re just keeping your money under their mattress
There are up to a thousand “no-go zones” across Europe and thousands more “sensitive” neighbourhoods as a result of decades of mass migration policies and the failures of multiculturalism to integrate disparate groups of foreigners into Western society, a report has found.
The report, “No-Go Zones, Immigration and the Rise of Parallel Societies,” from the conservative New Direction Foundation for European Reform think tank, estimated that there are between 900 and 1,000 urban areas that could be deemed as “no-go zones”, in which there are elevated levels of crime, social fragmentation, and weakened state authority.
The International Olympic Committee is barring male athletes from competing against women at the Olympics, beginning with the 2028 summer games set to take place in Los Angeles.
IOC president Kirsty Coventry, a decorated former Olympic swimmer from Zimbabwe, announced the ban Thursday after promising to protect the integrity of women’s sports leading up to her election.
“The policy that we have announced is based on science and it has been led by medical experts with the best interest of athletes at its heart. The scientific evidence is very clear: male chromosomes give performance advantages in sports that rely on strength, power, or endurance,” Coventry said in a video.
The New York Times recently ran a piece titled “Democrats Hammer Trump on ‘Energy Affordability’ as Iran War Continues.”
Our headline above is a more accurate description of what’s going on, because it is the Democrats – not Donald Trump – who have been and still are waging war on affordable energy.
The fawning Times article is based on a report from “top Senate Democrats” that “accused the Trump administration of waging a ‘war on energy affordability’ by canceling hundreds of clean energy projects even before the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran — strikes which have sent energy costs higher.”

In Sports Ballot Issues As Key To Midterm Success replies
Ballot initiatives across multiple states protecting women's sports could prove to be a turnout driver for Republicans in November, as polling shows the issue is overwhelmingly favorable across all political stripes. "In the off-year elections, turnout is so critical, and our polling shows that we're in the 90s (%) amongst Republicans, within the high 80s (%) being strongly in favor. So if you're looking for an issue that our baase voters are going to say, 'I've got to get to the polls for this,' this is the issue." Tom Mooney, who is a general consultant to campaigns for such ballot initiatives, told Just the News.
Nearly two years after the Supreme Court killed free speech, in the telling of future National Institutes of Health Director Jay Battacharya, by letting the Biden administration resume pressuring tech platforms to censor disfavored narratives on COVID-19, elections and Hunter Biden, the Trump administration has made the plaintiff's wildest dreams come true. U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, who imposed the sweeping preliminary injunction on the feds before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed it and SCOTUS lifted it for lack of legal standing, approved a consent decree Wednesday that he'll oversee for the next 10 years, constraining the current and next two administrations.

online critics replies
ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was called out for mocking newly confirmed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin as an "unqualified" plumber during his monologue Tuesday night. "Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne ‘Chuck Mike Bruce Dave’ Melon — Mullin. Maybe melon's better," Kimmel said. "He's the now former senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. It worked for Super Mario.
The Church of England installed a woman as its leader for the first time.
Sarah Mullally is now the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman to hold that position. The Church of England was founded in 1534, but the installation ceremony in Canterbury dates back more than 1,400 years.
In addition to serving as senior bishop and the symbolic leader of the Church of England, Archbishop Mullally also becomes the most prominent figure in the worldwide Anglican Communion, which includes Episcopalians in the U.S.
Critics accuse Donald Trump of destroying a rules-based world order with his no-nonsense approach to those threatening the security of the Western world. There is just one problem: it is a liberal fantasy that never existed.
The late 1990s were the high-water mark of liberal globalism. Academics like Francis Fukuyama rambled on about the “end of history.” In the Balkans, multilateral intervention seemingly redefined war as a legalistic humanitarian effort. In the quest for a borderless world, the West opened its doors to cheap Chinese imports.
In 1996, columnist Thomas Friedman reassured his readers that conflict would become a thing of the past in the world of liberal, free-trade globalism:
The Southern District of Florida (“SDFL”) federal grand jury has just issued criminal subpoenas to major players like former FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan. This action is no fishing expedition but rather the telltale sign that a massive RICO criminal enterprise is finally being cracked open, which I’ve suggested earlier would happen given the Clinton crime family and Seth Rich’s unsolved murder. Two thousand years ago, Jesus walked into the Temple and saw money changers and merchants turning a house of worship into a profit racket. He flipped tables, scattered coins, and exposed the corruption. The Pharisees and Sadducees panicked and plotted his death.
