Anti-Semite scumcrumpet Mahmoud Khalil may soon be gone

They hate America yet hate to leave

An immigration appeals board has issued a final order of removal for the anti-Israel/anti-Semitic protester Mahmoud Khalil. This decision advances the Trump administration’s determined effort to deport the execrable Columbia University graduate, according to his own legal team.

The Justice Department’s Board of Immigration Appeals ruled on Thursday to deny Khalil’s bid to dismiss the case. It marks a significant development in the administration’s broader push to remove him from the United States, a place he does not belong.

Khalil, a thirty-one-year-old lawful permanent resident, has found himself at the center of a federal crackdown on noncitizens involved in anti-Israel campus protests tied to the war in Gaza. He was, after all, the first person whose arrest became publicly known as part of that crackdown. 

His legal team wasted little time in blasting the decision. They called it “baseless and politically motivated,” insisting that the government is retaliating against his speech and lacks any real evidence to support the case [other than his disgusting hubris about Israel].

“In all my decades as an immigration lawyer, I have never seen such a baseless and politically motivated decision,” Khalil’s lead attorney, Marc Van Der Hout, said in a statement issued by the American Civil Liberties Union. “The BIA’s decision has absolutely no support in the record, violates a federal court order, and we’ll be fighting it until the end.”

The Trump administration, for its part, has argued that Khalil’s protest activity was “aligned with Hamas,” a claim cited repeatedly by the Department of Homeland Security and other officials, though authorities have not publicly detailed any specific evidence linking him to the terrorist group.

Khalil has also denied allegations of anti-Semitism. Officials have further invoked a rare foreign policy provision of U.S. immigration law, sometimes referred to as a “Rubio determination,” along with alleged issues tied to his green card application.

Despite the ruling, Khalil’s attorneys insist he cannot be deported while his separate federal habeas case continues to play out in court.

A federal judge in New Jersey previously found that the government’s justification for detaining Khalil was likely unconstitutional and ordered his release. After his arrest, Khalil spent 104 days in immigration detention, missing the birth of his first child, before that same judge ordered him freed.

Khalil later suffered a setback when a U.S. appeals panel ruled that the New Jersey judge had overstepped his authority. In a two-to-one decision, the panel held that the case must proceed through the immigration court system before it can be challenged in federal court. His lawyers are now requesting that the full appeals panel reconsider that decision. They have even asked one of the judges to step aside over his prior role as a Justice Department official involved in investigating student protesters.

Khalil himself has denied any wrongdoing and described the entire case as an attempt to silence him. After all, being an anti-Zionist isn't code for being an anti-Semite, right? Oh wait--it turns out it is. 

And like entitled children, they never clean up after themselves

“I am not surprised by this decision from the biased and politically motivated Board of Immigration Appeals,” he said in a statement released by the ACLU. “I have committed no crime. I have broken no law. The only thing I am guilty of is speaking out against the genocide in Palestine, and this administration has weaponized the immigration system to punish me for it.” 

“My family is here. My life is here,” he added. “I reject any attempt to intimidate me out of my home based on lies and ideological attacks. This is not justice. This is just another attempt to retaliate against me.”

Khalil, a prominent organizer of the anti-Israel protests that rocked Columbia University in 2024, was initially arrested in 2025 at his university-owned apartment in New York City. Homeland Security Investigations informed him at the time that they were revoking his green card, as he is merely a guest in this country. 

He was later transferred to a detention centre in Louisiana.

He had played a major role in those protests and had even met with school officials on behalf of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a coalition pushing the university to divest from Israel. He completed the requirements for a Columbia master’s degree in late 2024.

Born in Syria, he is the grandson of Palestinians who were forced to leave their homeland, his lawyers noted in a legal filing. His wife, an American citizen, gave birth to their child while he was still in detention.

The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, previously defended the administration’s actions. She stated plainly that Khalil had allegedly distributed pro-Hamas propaganda fliers on campus, a place where it was unsafe for Jewish students to attend as they were attacked by anti-Israel anti-Semites.

“This administration is not going to tolerate individuals having the privilege of studying in our country and then siding with pro-terrorist organizations that have killed Americans,” Leavitt told reporters. She noted that on her desk sat the very “pro-Hamas propaganda fliers with the logo of Hamas” that Khalil was accused of distributing because there is evidence that he was.

“We have a zero-tolerance policy for siding with terrorists, period,” she said.

And Khalil is a terrorist supporter while not having the testicular magnitude to kill alongside them.

Trump oversees US strikes on Iran, speaks with Bibi Netanyahu by phone

President Donald Trump, from the gilded confines of Mar-a-Lago, oversaw the launching of American strikes against Iran, strikes carried out in concert with Israel, while speaking by phone with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed as much in the small hours: "President Trump monitored the situation overnight at Mar-a-Lago alongside members of his national security team," she posted on X. "The President spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu by phone."

One might pause here to note the sheer theatricality of it all: the former, and now again, president directing military action not from some drab Situation Room in Washington, but from a Florida estate better known for golf and galas. Yet there is something fitting in the spectacle. Trump has never pretended to be the discreet mandarin of foreign policy; he announces wars in video messages posted at 2:30 a.m., addressing not merely allies or adversaries but the Iranian people themselves.

In that Truth Social address, the president declared the strikes underway and turned directly to those he evidently regards as potential liberators: "Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take," he said. 

"This will be, probably, your only chance for generations. For many years, you have asked for America's help, but you never got it. No President was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a President who is giving you what you want." Later he added that the "hour of your freedom is at hand."

The words are blunt, almost messianic in their confidence, and they carry an unmistakable message: this is not mere containment or calibrated pressure, but an invitation to regime change, delivered with the casual certainty of a man who believes history bends to resolve. 

Former Navy SEAL Jack Carr, assessing the operation, pointed to the administration's "maximum pressure campaign" and the conspicuous absence of any "off-ramp" for the Iranian regime—a formulation that captures the essential gamble. There is no gentle exit ramp here; the road leads either to capitulation or escalation.

Prior to the strikes, Secretary of State Marco Rubio had dutifully notified the so-called Gang of Eight, reaching seven of the eight congressional intelligence leaders. Administration officials insist the situation remains under close watch. Yet Democrats on that committee were swift to condemn the action. 

Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, issued a statement that reads like a weary recitation of every cautionary tale from the post-9/11 era: "Everything I have heard from the administration before and after these strikes on Iran confirms this is a war of choice with no strategic endgame," he wrote. "Military action in this region almost never ends well for the United States, and conflict with Iran can easily spiral and escalate in ways we cannot anticipate. It does not appear that Donald Trump has learned the lessons of history."

Himes is not wrong to invoke history; the Middle East has been a graveyard of grand American ambitions for decades. Yet we have to wonder whether the real lesson of history is not endless restraint in the face of a regime that has spent forty years promising Israel's destruction, sponsoring terror across the region, and pursuing nuclear capability under every possible guise. 

The strikes follow months of mounting tension, American action against Iran's nuclear sites as recently as June, followed by fitful negotiations that went nowhere. Trump had warned repeatedly: dismantle the nuclear infrastructure fully, or face consequences.

The operation, whatever its immediate tactical successes or failures, raises the oldest question in Western statecraft: when does one confront an implacable adversary, and when does one merely manage the threat? 

Critics see recklessness; supporters see belated clarity. Trump, characteristically, frames it in the starkest terms possible, not as a limited strike, but as a potential turning point for an oppressed people. Whether the Iranian people heed his call, or whether the regime survives to retaliate further, remains to be seen. What is clear is that the United States, under this president, has chosen action over the familiar pattern of drift, delay, and diplomatic fiction. In a region where illusions have cost countless lives, that choice, at the very least, cannot be dismissed as mere caprice.

DOJ Drops the Hammer on Minnesota Church-Storming Wackos After Anti-ICE Meltdown

Well, folks, the Trump administration isn't messing around when it comes to people who think interrupting a church service is the height of civil discourse.

A pack of anti-ICE screamers stormed the Cities Church in Minneapolis smack in the middle of Sunday worship, apparently convinced that one of the pastors moonlights as the head honcho of ICE's St. Paul office. Dozens of these geniuses burst in, turning a sanctuary into their personal protest stage. Churchgoers told Fox News Digital the mob even tailed them into the parking lot afterward, surrounding cars and playing human barricade.

President Trump's team didn't take long to respond with something stronger than a sternly worded tweet.

Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to the situation. "I just spoke to the Pastor in Minnesota whose church was targeted. Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law."

She then added, for those in the back: "If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt piled on via social media, after footage showed the crowd yelling through the service like it was open mic night at a bad comedy club. "President Trump will not tolerate the intimidation and harassment of Christians in their sacred places of worship," she said.

The AG continued: "The Department of Justice has launched a full investigation into the despicable incident that took place earlier today at a church in Minnesota."

And Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, chimed in with the kind of resolve we haven't heard from that office in years: "We will not rest until we are able to deliver justice."

Of course, while the feds are mobilizing to protect houses of worship from being turned into flash-mob venues, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is out there doing his best impression of a community organizer who never quite got over 2020.

Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation," Frey basically shrugged off the whole thing and defended the protesters as misunderstood patriots. He pushed back hard on any suggestion that local leaders might bear some responsibility for the chaos.

"This is not about safety. What this is about is coming into our city by the thousands and terrorizing people simply because they're Latino or Somali," Frey said. "People in Minneapolis are speaking up. They're speaking up peacefully. They're standing up for their neighbors. And this is not just about resisting Trump. This is about loving and caring for the people that call this city home. And it's been inspiring."

Sure, Jacob. Storming a church, chasing families to their cars, nothing says "inspiring" and "peaceful" like that.

The DOJ's civil rights investigation is officially underway, and it's nice to see federal law enforcement treating attacks on Christians and law enforcement personnel with the seriousness they deserve. In other words, the adults are back in the room, and the tantrum crowd is finally getting the timeout it so richly earned.

Another Clinton Judge Goes Full Activist to Save Comey and Letitia James – And Yeah, She Once Fought for Leniency for a Guy Who Raped and Murdered a Three-Year-Old

Look, we all know we're numb to Democrat judges pulling stunts at this point, but every once in a while one of them does something so brazen it still makes your jaw hit the floor. Such is the case with U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie – Clinton appointee, Democratic donor, and apparently lifelong member of the "feel bad for the scumcrumpet, not the victim" club.

This is the genius who just tossed the indictments against Jim “Higher Loyalty” Comey and New York's favorite mortgage-fraud-maven AG Letitia James because, technically without prejudice, so the charges could theoretically come back,  but good luck with that when the statute of limitations on Comey's case conveniently died five minutes after he got indicted.

Currie believes that the interim U.S. Attorney who brought the cases, Lindsay Halligan, was "unlawfully appointed." Translation: Orange Man Bad, so we're nuking the prosecutions from orbit.

And just to make sure you understand the kind of "impartial jurist" we’re dealing with here, let's rewind to Currie's pre-bench career. As a private defense attorney she went to bat for one Larry Donnell Williams, a charming fellow who in 1987 decided to rape and murder a three-year-old girl. Currie thought the guy deserved leniency. Let that one marinate for a second. But sure, tell me again how it's Republicans who are "soft on crime."

Here's the Washington Post report: 

"U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled that Lindsey Halligan, the prosecutor overseeing both cases, had been unlawfully appointed as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and, therefore, indictments she single-handedly secured against Comey and James must be thrown out."

Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed "all available legal action including an immediate appeal," while white House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called Currie exactly what she is: another "partisan judge" who took "unprecedented steps to try to intervene in accountability."

Of course Comey's lawyers are crowing that their guy can't be recharged because the five-year statute of limitations clock never actually stopped ticking. Currie's opinion basically high-fived that argument on the way out the door.

Remember, Trump-appointed interim U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert looked at the evidence against Comey and James, shrugged, and said "nope." Trump said you're fired" and put Halligan, a former White House aide and one of his personal lawyers, in the job. Days later, boom, indictments for Comey lying to Congress about leaks and James playing fast and loose with mortgage docs.

The DOJ argued the president has broad authority to fill those vacancies. Democrat judges, shockingly, disagreed.

So here we are: another Clinton judge playing goalie for the swamp, shielding a guy who wrote a book about his own integrity while leaking like a screen door on a submarine, and a New York AG who apparently thinks mortgage fraud is just aggressive home shopping.

If this is the game the left wants to play, weaponizing obscure appointment statutes to kill legitimate prosecutions,  then fine, gloves off. Every Democrat sacred cow needs to be dragged into court yesterday. The judicial coup has been running unchecked for years. Time to oppose it with extreme prejudice.

Because if defending child rapists and springing Jim Comey is what passes for "justice" on the left, the rest of us have zero reason to keep playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules.

Bibi Netanyahu gives the go-ahead to a military offensive

Let us be absolutely clear about the grim necessity unfolding in Gaza, where the clash of civilizations plays out in brutal clarity. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given the nod to a military offensive on Gaza City, a decision that carries the weight of existential stakes. 

The Israel Defense Forces, under the steely gaze of Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, are poised to strike, having toured the Strip on Thursday with Southern Command’s Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor and other senior officers. This is no mere maneuver; it is a prelude to a campaign aimed at crushing Hamas's grip on the city while, in a delicate parallel, pursuing talks to free 50 hostages still languishing in the hands of Palestinian terrorists. Of those hostages, President Trump had recently predicted that he believes around 20 or less are still alive.

Netanyahu, with the precision of a man who knows the world's eyes are on him, declared, "We are at the stage of decision. I came today to the [IDF] Gaza Division to approve the plans presented to me and the defense minister by the IDF to take control of Gaza City and to defeat Hamas." Yet, in a nod to the moral complexity of this conflict, he added, "At the same time, I directed that immediate negotiations begin for the release of all our hostages and to end the war under conditions acceptable to Israel. These two things: defeating Hamas and releasing all our hostages go hand in hand." This is not the language of a leader threading the needle between vengeance and humanity.

Across the Atlantic, the Trump administration has thrown its weight behind a ceasefire proposal, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming on Tuesday that Hamas has, at least on paper, accepted it. But President Trump himself, never one for diplomatic niceties, laid bare the stakes on Truth Social: "The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be." He insists that the hostages' return hinges on Hamas being "confronted and destroyed." 

U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff, with a candor that cuts through the fog of diplomacy, noted, "Three weeks ago, that proposal was on the table, and they slow-played us, Hamas. And the president put out his Truth statement saying that he wasn't going to tolerate it anymore, and guess what happened? There's been a major break." 

The proposal, as reported by Arab media, includes an Israeli pullout from parts of Gaza, the release of 10 of the 20 living hostages, and the freeing of over 200 Palestinian terrorists during a 60-day ceasefire. A grim barter, but one that reflects the brutal arithmetic of this war.

Defense Minister Israel Katz, with a rhetoric that could make the devil flinch, warned on Friday, "Soon the gates of hell will open on the heads of Hamas's murderers and rapists in Gaza, until they agree to Israel's conditions for ending the war, chief among them the release of all hostages and their disarmament." He added, with chilling resolve, "If they don't agree, Gaza, the capital of Hamas, will become Rafah and Beit Hanoun. Just as I promised, so it will be." 

This is the language of a nation that has endured the barbarity of October 7, 2023, and will tolerate no more.

Zamir, surveying the battlefield, said: “We are advancing with the efforts toward operations in Gaza City. We already have troops operating on the outskirts of the city, and more forces will join them later on." His mission is twofold and non-negotiable: "Our missions remain the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas; we will not rest and we will not stop until we complete them. Achieving these missions is vital for our future and for our values as a society." 

The Lt. General noted that Hamas, once a formidable terrorist machine, has been reduced to a guerrilla force since the October 7 massacre. Yet, like a wounded beast, it remains dangerous, and Israel will hunt it relentlessly, "for as long and wherever necessary."

The human cost of this operation looms large. Some 800,000 to 1 million residents of Gaza City will be evacuated south to Al-Mawasi near Rafah, a humanitarian corridor carved out amidst the chaos. The IDF's Gaza District Coordination and Liaison Unit has begun warning medical officials and aid organizations, ensuring hospital infrastructure in the south is ready to receive the sick and wounded. Two additional field hospitals and four more Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution centers are planned, with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee stating the goal is to scale up to 16 such sites. 

This is not compassion for its own sake but a recognition that the world watches, and Israel must balance its sword with a shield of humanity.

The IDF's dominance is undeniable. Over 75% of the Gaza Strip is under Israeli control, with 2,000 terrorists killed since ground operations resumed five months ago. Since March 18, 10,000 terrorist targets have been struck, and strategic corridors, Morag and Magen Oz, have sliced through Hamas's strongholds. 

Five IDF divisions, supported by air and naval forces, have dismantled tunnels, neutralized cells, and eliminated senior commanders complicit in the October 7 barbaric atrocities. To sustain this offensive, Katz has authorized the mobilization of 60,000 reservists and extended service for 20,000 more, freeing active-duty troops for what may be a decisive assault on one of Hamas’s last bastions, potentially as early as September.

This is a war of necessity, not choice. Zamir, addressing the Kfir Infantry Brigade and other units, underscored the gravity: "Our struggle is still long, and many challenges lie ahead. All of Israel is looking at you and relying on you. We have no alternative but victory." 

For Israel, this is not merely a fight for territory but for survival, for the right to exist without the shadow of terror. The world may wring its hands, but Israel's resolve is unshakable, and the gates of hell, as Katz promised, are creaking open.

And if you want to Buy Me A Coffee, I wouldn't stop you--it supports my work and I really appreciate it. But no pressure.

DNI Gabbard: CIA Director Brennan suppressed intel that Russia interfered with material on Hillary Clinton

Things of beauty are a joy forever, but not in this case

It looks as if the truth just drop-kicked the Russia hoax into next week. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard unleashed a bombshell Wednesday, declassifying a House Intelligence Committee report that exposes then-CIA Director John Brennan as the ringleader of a scheme to bury explosive intel. What was he hiding? Oh, just that Vladimir Putin was sitting on a treasure trove of dirt on Hillary Clinton, stuff so juicy he planned to drop it after her expected 2016 coronation to torpedo her presidency. 

That’s right, Brennan didn’t just fumble the ball; he spiked it to protect the Clinton machine.

At a White House press briefing alongside press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Gabbard laid it all bare, quoting the September 2020 House Intelligence Committee oversight majority staff report she declassified that very day. The report reveals Putin wasn’t playing favorites in 2016, he wasn't Team Trump or Team Hillary. No, the Russian bear wanted to burn the whole system down by undermining faith in the election itself. As Gabbard put it, "In fact, this report shows Putin held back… from leaking compromising material on Hillary Clinton prior to the election, instead planning to release it after the election to weaken what Moscow viewed as an inevitable Clinton presidency."

Let that sink in. 

Putin thought Hillary was such a lock that he saved his best shots for after she won. And what did he have? According to Gabbard, the report details "possible criminal acts" by Clinton, plus high-level DNC emails exposing her "psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness" and alleged daily reliance on heavy tranquilizers. Yes, you read that right; Hillary was supposedly popping pills like candy while her team was cutting shady deals. 

The report also alleges secret meetings with U.S. religious organizations, where State Department officials dangled cash for Clinton's campaign in exchange for their support. Oh, and let's not forget the State Department employees allegedly strong-armed into backing Hillary's White House bid. This is the kind of corruption that makes your skin crawl.

Gabbard didn’t hold back, pointing the finger squarely at Brennan for orchestrating a cover-up. She told reporters one of the report’s key findings: "In the January 2017 intelligence community assessment that President Obama ordered, John Brennan, who was CIA director at the time, and the intelligence community intentionally suppressed intelligence that showed Putin was saving the most damaging material that he had in his possession about Hillary Clinton until after her potential and likely victory." 

Brennan obviously didn’t just ignore the truth; he buried it deeper than Jimmy Hoffa.

But it gets worse. Gabbard revealed that Brennan and his intel cronies "mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious, substandard sources" to push the laughably fake narrative that Putin was all-in for Trump. They cooked up a story to undermine Trump’s legitimacy, and the media lapped it up like obedient lapdogs. 

This wasn’t incompetence, it was a deliberate hit job. 

Enter Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA firebrand, who nailed it Wednesday when he said, "If Russia was really all-in on supporting Trump and hurting Clinton, it would have leaked this information in October 2016 when her lead in the RCP average slipped to just +1.3." Exactly! If Putin was Team Trump, he’d have dumped the Clinton dirt when it could’ve swung the election. Instead, he sat on it, "completely debunking the core assumptions of the Russia hoax," Kirk added. “Rather than admit they were wrong, Brennan’s CIA buried the info and manufactured a completely alternative reality to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump.”

So, let’s recap: Brennan, the supposed guardian of truth, hid evidence that could’ve exposed Hillary’s corruption, all to prop up the Russia-Trump collusion fairy tale. This isn’t just a scandal; it’s a betrayal of the American people. The Deep State didn’t just play dirty, they rewrote the rulebook. 

Time to drain the swamp, folks, because this stench isn’t going away on its own.

Trump will be suing the Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp. and its CEO, Rupert Murdoch

Well, folks, the media’s at it again, slinging mud at President Trump with a story so absurd it sounds like it was cooked up in a tabloid’s basement, or maybe the Babylon Bee. 

On Thursday, Trump dropped a bombshell, revealing that he and his Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, got a heads-up from none other than Rupert Murdoch about a forthcoming Wall Street Journal hit piece. The claim was that Trump allegedly drew a picture of a woman’s breasts and signed it with a birthday note to the late, not so great, disgraced Jeffrey Epstein. 

Yes, that Jeffrey Epstein.

The alleged note, according to the report, read: "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret." Sounds like something out of a bad spy novel, not a Trump letter, and not something stupid enough that a person of his standing would put in writing.

Trump and Leavitt didn’t mince words. They went straight to WSJ editor Emma Tucker and called the letter what it is: “a FAKE.” Trump himself was crystal clear when The Journal came sniffing around. "I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women," he said, adding, "It’s not my language. It’s not my words." Hard to argue with that, because nobody on this planet can really picture Trump sitting down with a sketchpad and a birthday card for Epstein.

But, in true legacy media fashion, The Wall Street Journal ran the story anyway, facts be damned. 

Trump wasn’t having it. He took to Truth Social, firing off a post that pulled no punches and announced he’s gearing up to sue The WSJ, NewsCorp, and Murdoch himself. "President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal," he wrote. "It has truly turned out to be a ‘Disgusting and Filthy Rag’ and, writing defamatory lies like this, shows their desperation to remain relevant."

Go Donny, Go!

And he didn’t stop there. Trump pointed out the obvious: if there was even a shred of truth to this so-called "Epstein Hoax," the usual suspects: Comey, Brennan, "Crooked Hillary," and the rest of the Radical Left Lunatics would’ve been waving it around years ago. "It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for ‘TRUMP’ to have won three Elections," he added. "This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!"

And there you have it, folks. Another day, another media smear campaign. The WSJ, once a titan of journalism, seems more interested in peddling fiction than reporting facts and is best used for wrapping dead fish. 

Trump’s not backing down, and if his track record is any indication, The Journal might want to lawyer up.

Once again, Iran rejects Trump's nuclear terms

In a mere twenty-four hours since President Donald Trump issued his stark ultimatum to the Iranian regime, two weeks to bend to a nuclear deal or face consequences, the mullahs in Tehran have, with predictable truculence, spat in the face of diplomacy. 

The Iranian Foreign Minister, Araqchi, declared with the usual bombast, “Americans want to negotiate and have sent messages several times, but we clearly said that as long as this aggression doesn’t stop, there’s no place for talk of dialogue.” 

This isn't the language of statesmen but of petulant ideologues, clinging to their apocalyptic fantasies while the world watches, weary and wary.

On Thursday, Trump, ever the master of calculated ambiguity and showmanship, said, “Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks.” 

His message was clear: Iran’s nuclear ambitions, its relentless pursuit of enriched uranium and the specter of a nuclear arsenal, will not be tolerated. Trump’s resolve is unmistakable; he has drawn a line in the sand, and Tehran would be foolish to mistake his patience for weakness.

And the stakes couldn't be higher. 

As White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned, “Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon,” a chilling reality that threatens not only Israel but, in her words, “the United States and the entire world.” 

This isn't simple hyperbole; it is the grim arithmetic of a regime that has long married its theocratic zeal to weapons of catastrophic potential. Leavitt’s follow-up was equally unflinching: “The President is unafraid to use strength if necessary. Iran and the entire world should know, the United States military is the strongest and most lethal fighting force in the world, and we have capabilities that no other country on this planet possesses.” 

Here is the unapologetic clarity of American power, a reminder to Tehran that defiance carries a cost.

As the President departed the White House for Bedminster on Friday, bound for a weekend of reflection before the NATO Summit in Brussels, the world waits. Will Iran heed Trump's warning, or will it continue its reckless dance on the edge of calamity? 

As the kids say, the clock is ticking, and the mullahs would do well to remember that Trump’s deadlines are not mere rhetoric—they are the prelude to action.

SCOTUS Gives Trump a 'W' on Scrapping Parole for 500K Migrants, Sotomayor and Jackson Aren’t Thrilled

The Supreme Court just tossed President Donald Trump a huge win in his border crackdown saga. On Friday, the justices put a hold on a lower court’s attempt to stop the President from deporting roughly 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. This is a short-term victory for Trump as he doubles down on his immigration hardline in round two of his presidency.

The White House was ready to rumble. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t mince words on Tuesday, saying, “The White House will ‘fight this in a court of law’” after a judge tried to block Trump’s move to end a parole program for folks from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. 

What’s at stake here? Glad you asked.

The court’s order temporarily halts a ruling that stopped Trump from yanking Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for these migrants. TPS is like a legal shield that lets people live and work in the U.S. if their home countries are a hot mess, such as  disasters, wars, or other “extraordinary and temporary conditions.” 

Trump’s team wants to rip that shield away, and for now, the Supreme Court’s got their back.

The decision, like most of the court’s emergency orders, came without a signature or explanation. Classic Supreme Court move to simply drop the ruling and let everyone else figure out why.

But leftist Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson had plenty to say, and it wasn’t pretty. In a fiery dissent, they tore into the court’s call. Jackson, who doesn't know what a woman is, didn’t hold back, saying the court “plainly botched” its assessment and ignored the “devastating consequences of allowing the government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens [aka illegal aliens] while their legal claims are pending.” 

She went on: “While it is apparent that the government seeks a stay to enable it to inflict maximum pre-decision damage, court-ordered stays exist to minimize, not maximize, harm to litigating parties.” 

The TPS program’s been a lifeline for migrants, especially illegal ones. It is to be renewed every 18 months like clockwork, most recently under former alleged President Joe Biden, before he wandered out of office. 

Illegal migrant flipping off police

But Trump’s crew, led by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, came in hot this February, trying to pull the plug on protections for a chunk of Venezuelan nationals. Their reasoning? It’s not in the “national interest.” Noem’s been out here signing executive orders alongside Trump, who’s clearly not slowing down, and this scares the crap out of Democrats.

U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer wasn’t playing with his toes either. He told the justices earlier this month to let the administration do its thing, accusing U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of overstepping. “The district court’s reasoning is untenable,” Sauer argued, saying the TPS program involves “particularly discretionary, sensitive, and foreign-policy-laden judgments of the Executive Branch regarding immigration policy.” 

In other words, back off, judge—Trump’s got this.

This isn’t the first time the Supreme Court’s given Trump a green light lately. Earlier this month, they okayed his plan to revoke protected status for 350,000 Venezuelan illegal alien migrants, clearing the path for deportations. 

So, what’s next? The White House is gearing up for a legal brawl, and with Sotomayor and Brown-Jackson, throwing punches in dissent, this fight’s far from over.

Tampon Tim's low-average daughter has hissy-fit over influencer "normalizing" Karoline Leavitt

Ladies and gentlemen, grab your sneakers and brace yourselves for the latest episode of Leftist Outrage Theater, starring Hope [aka Despair] Walz, the 24-year-old low-average daughter of former veep nominee Tampon Tim Walz. 

This week, she took to social media to throw a hissy fit over a running influencer—yes, running—daring to interview White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Apparently, jogging with a Trump official is now a crime against humanity to people of low-average intellect.

Kate Mackz, a TikToker with nearly 800,000 followers, runs a series called “Post Run High,” where she chats with celebs while pounding the pavement. 

She even had Tampon Tim himself on the show, but her recent jog with Leavitt caused Hope despair, and her far-left posse into a tailspin. 

In a video dripping with sanctimonious fury, Hope[less] declared, “Running as an act is political. And you know who told me that? Tim Walz.” Oh, the irony—Papa Walz’s folksy wisdom turned into a weapon to shame a runner. 

Can I get an LMAO?

Hope’s logic, if you can call it that, is a masterclass in mental gymnastics. “Running is a privilege,” she intoned, “and being part of the running community is a privilege that not all people have access to.” Especially if you don't have legs or are totally paralyzed--even then, there are wheelchair events you can enter.

So, interviewing Leavitt is bad because the Trump administration—wait for it—“cuts mental health services… [is] actively hurting the planet… sending people away without due process, villainizing minorities.” Apparently, these sins block people from lacing up their Asics. 

"Tiptoe through the tulips, through the tulips,
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me"

Who knew running was such an elitist conspiracy? I've run about a dozen marathons in my life and never once did I feel privileged, nor did any of my running friends.

But Hope didn’t stop there. The daughter of another low-average individual scolded Mackz for “normalizing” the Trump administration and had the gall to say it was “insulting to her dad” that Mackz kept the Walz interview pinned on her page. “You don’t get to ‘both sides’ this,” she huffed. “We are quite literally talking about good versus evil here.” 

Good versus evil? C'mon dummy, it’s a jog, not a Tolkien novel. Don't get so dramatic like your macho dad.

The folks at Fox News’ Outnumbered had a field day with this nonsense. Tomi Lahren pointed out the obvious: running is one of the most accessible sports out there, not some gated country club activity. She called Hope’s broader message—that Gen Z should shun anyone with differing views—“damaging.” No kidding. 

Kayleigh McEnany, bless her, took issue with the “good versus evil” framing, noting that Leavitt is “one of the nicest people on planet earth.” 

And Emily Compagno delivered the knockout: “Maybe she can encourage Hope Walz to run from the microphone because I’m sick of listening to her.”

Look, I get it—Hope’s young, passionate, kind of stupid, and probably thinks she’s saving the world one TikTok at a time. But this is peak progressive absurdity: turning a fun running interview into a moral crusade. 

If she’s this upset about a jog, imagine her meltdown when she discovers people can vote differently and still coexist. Maybe she should take a lap and cool off. The running community will be just fine without her empty lectures.

Trump gives "last warning" to Hamassholes to release the hostages or there'll be "Hell to pay"

President Trump laid it out for Hamas to consider saying in a Truth Social post Wednesday that they had better release all hostages immediately or the proverbial dung will hit the fan for them. Now that this is his second warning, it seems like he hasn't given himself a second choice but to do what he says he'll do.

The warning came after he met with seven former hostages in Washington, D.C. this week. The group was comprised by Eli Sharabi, Doron Steinbrecher, Keith Siegel, Aviva Siegel, Naama Levy, Omer Shem Tov and Iair Horn, according to the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

"‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye - You can choose," the president's post began. "Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.

"Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!"

FYI, 'shalom' also means peace, but that word isn't in the Hamas dictionary.

President Trump added that he is "sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job," and that "not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say.

"I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed," Trump added. "This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance."

"Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!"

I wonder how the President really feels.

Trump's post came hours after the White House was challenged by Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy on its decision to negotiate with the Palestinian terrorist group, the outlet reported.

"If the U.S. has a long-standing policy that we do not negotiate with terrorists, then why is the U.S. now negotiating directly and for the first time ever with Hamas?" Doocy asked.

"Well, when it comes to the negotiations that you're referring to, first of all, the special envoy who's engaged in these negotiations does have the authority to talk to anyone," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded. She added that Israel was "consulted on this matter," and that Trump believes in putting forth "good-faith effort[s] to do what's right for the American people."

"These are ongoing talks and discussions. I'm not going to detail them here," she continued. "There are American lives at stake."

And precious Israeli lives too.

The US is not going to provide military assistance to Ukraine

“The United States will no longer provide military assistance to Ukraine, peace negotiations are a priority,” the Trump White House said. So while the left attacks Trump as everything evil, including a war monger, it's he who is working to bring peace to Ukraine and Russia.

“We are no longer going to just write blank checks for a war in a very distant country without a real, lasting peace,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary said, commenting on Zelensky’s public dispute with President Trump and Vice President Vance.

The US is not going to provide military assistance to Ukraine.

“It was great that the cameras were working because the American people and the whole world could see what President Trump and his team were dealing with behind closed doors in negotiations with the Ukrainians,” she added. "Any good deal, whether in business or politics, usually leaves both sides a little unhappy. And unfortunately for Zelensky, I think he refused to acknowledge the practical reality of this war."

Now that the White House meeting with Zelensky and the press went public, it gives Trump the opportunity to stand tall against Ukraine. He can shut down all aid and dig deeper into the money laundering investigation. In fact, it's going to be somewhat easier for Trump to negotiate with Putin.

“President Trump wants peace. But for negotiations, both sides must sit down at the table and have a dialogue. In a good deal, both sides usually leave a little dissatisfied. Volodymyr Zelensky does not understand this,” Leavitt explained.

I think many Americans felt uncomfortable watching the White House meeting with Trump, Vance and Zelensky, but it made the point that Ukraine's leader, the guy who worked with the Democratic Party to beat Trump in this past election, is an ungrateful twit who refuses to give an inch in the minerals deal and who expects that we have some sort of obligation to fund his military.

It's beginning to look as if his days as Ukraine's president are numbered.

No more US condom funding for Gaza

Don't believe what you read about US foreign aid and where it ends up. There is so much money involved that goes through so many pipelines that it's rarely what you see. And this brings to mind the "condoms in Gaza" funding we have supplied to our enemy.

On Tuesday, in her first press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt  said that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Office of Budget and Management (OBM) found “that there was about to be $50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza.”

Condoms? Does Gaza need condoms?

The Jerusalem Post reported in 2020 that "scores of condoms were being used to create IED-carrying balloons that winds would carry into southern Israel, raising alarm on schoolyards, farmlands and highways."

At that time, the Post also noted that these improvised explosive devices, carried into Israel by these inflated contraceptives, "burned thousands of hectares of land and caused 'millions of shekels of damage.'" It's uncertain whether this practice is still happening.

Just two days after the tragic events on October 7, 2023, where Hamas terrorists committed brutal acts including the rape of some of the approximately 1,200 victims in southern Israel and took hundreds hostage back to Gaza, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) issued a statement. They expressed concern that any blockade of aid to Gaza would undermine the "enormous gains made in life-saving sexual and reproductive healthcare in this region."

However, sexual health in Gaza, like many aspects of life there, is often linked to Islamic terrorism.

The view here is that the U.S. should not be involved in rebuilding Gaza or sending any aid there. The belief is that everything in Gaza relates to terrorism, and anything sent to Gaza might be repurposed for terrorist activities.

Jokes aside, Hamas is so unfathomably evil that they also found a way to use condoms to try and kill Jews.

It looks like everything the Biden administration had done after October 7, 2023, benefitted Hamas and hurt Israel. But as the kids say, 'there's a new sheriff in town.'

Trump signs executive order to protect children from "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the pause on federal financial assistance will not include food stamps, Social Security, or Medicare and welfare benefits on her first White House press conference.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order to restrict "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures for minors.

"Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions," the order states. "This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end."

Here's a rewrite in the style of Douglas Murray, an author known for his sharp, often provocative commentary on cultural and political issues:

In a world where common sense seems to be in ever-dwindling supply, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has confirmed that the pause on federal financial assistance will mercifully not extend to food stamps, Social Security, or Medicare and welfare benefits. One might think this an obvious decision, yet in today's political climate, one can never be too sure.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, ever the maverick, has taken a bold step into the cultural fray by signing an executive order on Tuesday to restrict what he describes as "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures for minors.

"Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions," the order states. "This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end."

There you have it. In an age where the very fabric of childhood is being stretched and tested by the whims of ideology, Trump's administration says, 'Enough.' Whether this marks a return to sanity or an overreach into personal freedoms will no doubt fuel debates that, in this age of relentless argument, will never truly find an end. But for now, the President has spoken, aiming to protect what he sees as the innocence and integrity of our youth from what he deems the radical excesses of contemporary culture.
