By AG News Staff President Donald Trump announced Friday that European nations have agreed to release a substantial amount of stockpiled diesel fuel as ongoing conflicts in the Middle East continue to disrupt global energy markets. The move could provide relief to consumers and businesses facing volatile fuel prices, particularly industries that depend heavily on diesel for transportation, agriculture and manufacturing. “Europe has just agreed to release a massive amount of their heavily stocked Diesel Oil. The process will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Truth Social screenshot The president did not specify how much diesel would be released, which European countries would participate or how quickly the additional supply would reach the market. The announcement comes as energy costs remain an economic concern ahead of November’s midterm elections. Republicans have faced challenges convincing voters of thei...

Adviser to Iran's supreme leader Mohsen Rezaei attends a farewell ceremony for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on February 28 during Israeli and U.S. airstrikes on Iran, in Tehran, Iran, on July 3, 2026. (Mohammed Salem/Reuters) By Greg Norman-Diamond Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei claimed President Donald Trump is "worst" president in U.S. history, before Trump took a swipe Friday at Iran's leadership during a rally in Alabama.  "After one failure after another, the worst president in American history just keeps talking — and talking — and now his words have even outrun his own fantasies," Rezaei wrote on X. "You can win every day in your own imagination. But reality is shaped by Iran — by its people, its soldiers, and its missiles."  Trump later ripped the Iranian regime, which was rocked at the beginning of Operation Epic Fury with the killing of former Ira...

By David Spector The crew of the hijacked flydubai plane shockingly clashed with heroic Israeli passengers who subdued the ax-wielding co-pilot after he attacked the pilot — demanding he be freed, two men who helped secure the terror suspect told The Post in exclusive interviews. “They were asking us to untie the terrorist — we had no idea why,” said banking executive Tzvika Manes, one of the three civilians who took down the would-be hijacker. “They were saying to free the terrorist — we got instantly suspicious of them,” said real estate professional Daniel Schlichter, who was sitting in the second row, close to the cockpit . Tzvika Manes helped subdue the terrorist who attempted to crash the flydubai plane. CNN Manes, 40, was traveling with his wife and three daughters aged 11, 7, and 6, after a family vacation in Japan, when the co-pilot, identified by The Wall Street Journal as an Omani national Hamam al-Hammami, began hacking at the Indian pilot, Capt. ...

By Nick Arama If you've watched President Donald Trump, and you recall Joe Biden's occupation of the White House, you know it's like night and day in terms of health and energy. While Biden had a barely there schedule, Trump is constantly going. Right now he's flying all over, campaigning on behalf of candidates for the midterms, in addition to all his presidential trips and duties as well. He keeps a schedule that many younger men could probably not keep up with.  Yet Democrats have been trying to push a narrative about his health for some time. I think it started as an effort to blunt the reality of Biden's actual issues. But Democrats and media weren't straight about those issues with the American public when it came to Biden, and now they want to spread garbage about Trump. However, it gets pretty dumb when we can see Trump's energy and hectic schedule before our eyes. That doesn't stop the Democrats from trying to sling bull, and their media wil...

By Kevin Haggerty The ongoing investigation of an averted alleged terrorist attack connected the extremist dots as details emerged about the would-be hijacker and why he’d been banned from flying. Sandwiched between the 25th anniversary of September 11 and the third anniversary of the October 7 attack on Israel, a new tragedy was averted when passengers and crew aboard FlyDubai Flight 1073 thwarted a hijacker’s alleged plan to crash the plane somewhere in the Jewish State. As the heroic efforts of the pilot and those aboard were celebrated, the identity of the co-pilot — said to have brutally stabbed the pilot — revealed him to be an Omani national previously banned from flying in his own country “over concerns he adopted radical ideological views.” According to reporting from The Wall Street Journal, Hamam al-Hammami is the name of the would-be hijacker who intended to down the passenger flight from the United Arab Emirates to Ben Gurion Airport outside Tel Aviv. Said b...

By Kyle Becker This is getting crazy. RedState has been following a disturbing series of cases involving mothers accused of brutally attacking or killing their own children.  Now there is another one, and this time two young men are dead. Texas authorities have charged 42-year-old Colleen Nichole Lemmon with two counts of capital murder after investigators say she shot both of her sons inside their Waxahachie home early Thursday morning. Her oldest son, Christopher Scott Pitre, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene. His 15-year-old brother was rushed to a hospital in critical condition but later died. Authorities have not released the younger boy's name. The details contained in a search-warrant affidavit are even more disturbing. According to local reporting on the affidavit, Ellis County dispatchers received a 911 call that disconnected. After getting the caller back on the line, a woman reportedly said that "all units" were needed before the call disconnected agai...

By Bob Hoge Gavin Newsom ordered a study of the governmental response to the devastating fires that destroyed entire neighborhoods in Pacific Palisades and Altadena in January 2005, and that report has now landed. ( See: A RedState Photo Odyssey: The Devastation of the Pacific Palisades Is America's Wake-Up Call .) It reveals an epic record of communications failures, incompetence, and a leadership vacuum of monumental proportions . A damning new Palisades Fire report stops short of blaming any one person or agency, but found Los Angeles sent firefighters home despite dangerous winds, while some residents didn’t get an evacuation alert until 40 to 90 minutes after homes began burning. The bombshell 724-page fire incident analysis was released Friday, nearly 21 months after the January 2025 fire tore through Pacific Palisades , a coastal LA neighborhood, and killed 12 people. It says the destruction “was the result of multiple interconnected factors rather than any single deci...

By Jennifer Oliver O'Connell Former Obama National Security Advisor and former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice is none too pleased that Republican candidate for California governor Steve Hilton is invoking her name and her appellation for his Democrat opponent Xavier Becerra. At the Wednesday governor's debate, Hilton trounced Becerra and reminded Californians of not just Becerra's record of trafficking illegal alien children and failed governance, but that his own party doesn't think very highly of him. Hilton name-checked Rice and invoked her words: "B*tch-A*s" and "idiot," which Rice reportedly used to describe Becerra. That part of the debate, and other moments, have gone viral, and a new website: "B*tch-A*s Becerra" has appeared detailing his corruption and failures. Epic. Well, the bat signal has gone up. For the most part Democrats, including Rice, have been radio silent on the California governor's race . It seems that has now c...

By Teri Christoph When Abigail Spanberger ran for governor of Virginia in 2025, she worked quite hard to cultivate the image of a moderate Democrat who would govern the commonwealth with an even hand. Once she got into office earlier this year, however, she quickly got in touch with her more radical roots, severing ties with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) , promoting a gerrymandered congressional map, and attempting to ban the sale of "automatic firearms." She also gleefully replaced the entire state parole board – the government body that is tasked with deciding which criminals get released back into society – with her own appointees. Certainly her right as governor, but also curious because she was, at the same time, working to restore voting rights to criminals . Spanberger's parole board has proven to be decidedly pro-criminal and anti-victim, granting parole to an astonishing 10 percent of inmates who have come before them in the past seven months. Co...
