On May 8, I argued in an American Greatness article that President Trump should end the Iran War immediately with a clear ultimatum to Tehran rather than prolonged negotiations. The objectives had already been achieved through decisive military action: Iran’s nuclear program set back by decades, its conventional military and missile capabilities gutted, and its proxy networks crippled. Further fighting risked turning this U.S. win into another endless quagmire. An ultimatum—halt threats to Hormuz and guarantee safe passage for shipping, or face renewed and devastating strikes—would lock in those gains from a position of overwhelming strength.
The agreement scheduled to be signed on Friday in Switzerland does this. The deal is not a retreat from this vision. It is its pragmatic realization.

Gabbard said in a statement that Fauci and his allies in the scientific community and intelligence community ripped a page right out of “the deep state playbook.”

In the article about Trump’s statements on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the Times insisted that Trump has a “long and complicated relationship” with FISA, alternating between “condemning it” and “embracing it.”

The Trump administration is reportedly concerned that a cutting-edge European chipmaking tool may have ended up in Beijing’s hands.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told semiconductor company ASML in a recent meeting that he worried one of their chip-printing machines was sold to China, sources familiar with the discussions told Bloomberg. ASML has never been allowed to ship the extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines to China due to export controls enacted during President Donald Trump’s first term.

by Edward Ring With midterm elections just around the corner, both major political parties are themselves coping with divided constituencies. The Democratic Socialists vie for dominance against more moderate Democrats. MAGA Republicans confront disaffected libertarians and neocons. And outside all these polarized factions are millions of voters that don’t find any politician or political agenda credible enough to earn their allegiance. But there is a common thread shared by most disillusioned voters. They believe that America’s ruling class has abandoned its fellow citizens. They’re right. Notwithstanding notable recent defections, America’s elites view ordinary citizens as no longer necessary. Because of globalism, they are replaceable. Because of automation, supercharged by AI, they are superfluous. Because of environmentalism, they are unsustainable. A plurality (at the least) of America’s elites have decided the nation’s middle class is disposable, and this is the real reason they continue to push woke degeneracy and extreme environmentalism, designed to lower birthrates and reduce standards of living. It’s hard to imagine how these elites could get things more wrong. Their transhuman and transnational vision is provoking a clash of civilizations at the same time as they are destroying the human foundation of their own civilization. Nations where…
