By Jennie Taer As Democratic lawmakers and activists claim detainees at ICE’s Delaney Hall are engaged in a hunger strike, a different story is playing out inside the facility. While detainees at the Newark, New Jersey, detention center  are opting not to eat  their regular meals, they’re going to the commissary to buy candy bars instead, a source familiar with the situation said recently. New data obtained by The Daily Wire shows that commissary sales at Delaney Hall surged 161%, rising from $11,498 on May 26 to $30,013 on June 1. While snack sales jumped, the detainee population fell from 724 to 621 during that same time period. The so-called hunger strike stems from allegations of poor conditions inside the facility, where Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) have claimed that there are worms in the food. President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said Monday that he per...

By Alex Nitzberg Kuwait decried Iranian attacks in a statement issued by its foreign affairs ministry, saying that the Kuwait International Airport had been targeted. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the State of Kuwait's condemnation and denunciation, in the strongest terms, of the brutal and ongoing Iranian attacks using ballistic missiles and drones, the latest of which occurred at dawn today, targeting once again civilian and vital facilities, including Kuwait International Airport, resulting in the death of one individual, injuries to others, and damage to vital facilities, including diplomatic missions," part of the statement declared, according to a translation of the Arabic-language  post on X. Kuwait's Ministry of Defense  spokesperson had indicated that a building at Kuwait International Airport was damaged and people were injured, according to a post on X by the offi...

By Amy Mek Jihadi Adam Hamawy just seized the Democratic primary in NJ-12 - and terrorists + their defenders are celebrating. We are watching our country fall in real time. The radicals showed up in force to cheer this victory: Linda Sarsour - the activist who praises convicted terrorists, tells Muslims not to assimilate, and unleashes incendiary hate on non-Muslims. Imam Mohammad Qatanani - convicted in Israel in 1993 for Hamas membership. His mosque's founder, Mohammad El-Mezain, was a founding board member of the Holy Land Foundation and convicted of funneling millions to Hamas in the terror-financing trial. × Are you enjoying Tex's Place?

By Alexandra Steigrad and Ariel Zilber CBS News axed veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday night, a day after after the longtime network star  blasted editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and challenged her newly installed  leadership team in a heated confrontation that exposed the widening civil war inside the iconic news magazine. In a letter obtained by The Post, newly appointed “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton blasted Pelley in informing him he was fired “for cause effective immediately.” “[Y]ou hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt,” Bilton wrote, referring to Monday’s heated face-off between the journo and his boss. Bilton further accused Pelley of staging a “performative display of hostility” and claimed he had “no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress...

By Cathreine Salgado After decades of having a separate governmental system, economy, and alliances from Somalia, the Republic of Somaliland is functionally independent — and eager to help the USA form a strong front against genocidal dictatorships. Somaliland made its pitch to the Trump administration and the American public again on Tuesday: America, seize this moment. The Republic of Somaliland built a thriving democracy, secured its borders against al-Shabaab and extremism, and even proposed a partnership against China and Iran. This presents a strategic opportunity. By recognizing Somaliland, you’ll gain a… pic.twitter.com/6RGTlGKmjy — REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND (@RepOfSomaliland) June 2, 2026 For most of the last 70+ years, most American politicians have been more desperate to appease, praise, or accept investment and influence operations from our worst enemies rather than our allies. That is part of the reason both our domestic and international situations have been in crisis....

By Bob Hoge Since Karoline Leavitt went on maternity leave in late April, a roving cast has been handling the White House press briefings. We’ve seen Vice President JD Vance , Secretary of State Marco Rubio , and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent take the podium, and on Tuesday, it was Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Dr. Mehmet Oz’s turn. Like his predecessors, he brought some humor to the Brady Briefing Room. He was asked about the debilitating effects of TDS and how we can combat the tragic disease. It’s very hard, he admitted: REPORTER: Any medical advice for the Americans suffering from the series of symptoms known as Trump Derangement Syndrome? DR. OZ: I am concerned about the folks that have spent all of their life on disliking the President. It is disheartening. Treating stupid is really hard. pic.twitter.com/X0L8mtb7w4 — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) June 2, 2026 But Dr. Oz also addressed some more serious subjects, too, including the...

By Teri Christoph Secretary of State Marco Rubio headed to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to face questions about the State Department's budget request for fiscal year 2027 – and the topic of the ongoing conflict with Iran was on everyone's mind. Things got heated when Democrats let loose with their mind-boggling questions about the ongoing negotiations.  In his opening statemen t to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio reiterated that the United States remains "the world's sole global superpower," noting we have the world's largest economy, most formidable military ("ever known to man, by the way"), and a strong currency. This all means nothing, he emphasized, if that might isn't used to protect those who built it into a superpower. SECRETARY RUBIO: We remain the world's sole global superpower, but all of this means very little if that power is not used to protect ...

By Bob Hoge President Donald Trump named a new Director of National Intelligence on Tuesday, and it’s Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William "Bill" Pulte. He will replace Tulsi Gabbard , who is stepping down after her husband was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. Trump posted the news to Truth Social: I am appointing the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, William J. Pulte, to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence. William has deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the Markets, and over 10 Trillion Dollars at Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago. During this period, he will remain Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. Congratulations to Director P...

By MARY ROOKE Karmelo Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the April 2025 stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco ISD track meet in Collin County, Texas. Anthony  admitted  to officers that he stabbed Metcalf, but has claimed it was in self-defense, according to an arrest report. District Court Judge John Roach reportedly  issued  a pretrial order outlining strict rules for the trial, including a ban on cameras and any audio or video recording of the proceedings. You have to wonder why Roach won’t allow cameras into the courtroom. Americans were forced to sit through the  sham trial  for Derek Chauvin and watched every moment of Kyle Rittenhouse  reliving  the worst moment of his life. And yet, a clear case where the defendant admitted to stabbing someone will have zero transparency. Does it have anything to do with the fact that the Anthony case gained national attention, especially al...

By Isabel Vincent A former combat medic running for Congress lied under oath as a defense witness for Omar Abdel Rahman aka “the Blind Sheikh,” who incited the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, a watchdog group claims. Adam Hamawy , 56, an Egyptian-born physician and former Army trauma surgeon, is the leading candidate in Tuesday’s primary for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, backed by streamer Hasan Piker and left-wing senator Bernie Sanders. But his association with Abdel Rahman has come back to haunt him. At the terrorist’s 1995 trial for inciting the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, which killed six, Hamawy was a witness for his defense. He had met Abdel Rahman in 1991 in New Jersey and shared a ride with him to a conference in Detroit that year, named “Towards a Global Islamic Economy,” according to a court transcript. When asked about the trip during the trial, Hamawy — who has never been accused of wrongdoing in relation to the bombing — testif...

By Bob Hoge Spot poll: Who’s more cringe, former mumbling President Joe Biden or woke climate warrior, windsurfer, and one-time Obama Secretary of State John Kerry? I give the slightest of edges to John because of his cadaver-like monotone speeches at summits around the world about how we’re all going to die, like tomorrow. Watching him is about as pleasant as inhaling paprika into your nose. They both have loved to vacation on the elitist island of Nantucket over the years, which is only a little over an hour's ferry ride from that other leftist enclave, Barack Obama's Martha’s Vineyard. (Kerry sold his Nantucket home in 2018 for $17.5 million to downsize into a little $12 million property on the 'Yard. Maybe he's not so worried about rising seas after all?)  5 Full disclosure: I’ve been to Nantucket, and it’s quite pleasant. But for the woke crowd, it’s just too damn white : A Nantucket church on the exclusiv...
