By JOHN NOLTE Throughout his first term and the first year of this, his second term, President Trump turned down the invitation to attend the far-left White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD). This year, he’s accepted. “The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner,”  announced  the president Monday on his Truth Social account. “In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these ‘Correspondents’ now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation.” The president added that he intends to “work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER!” “Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with ev...

By ALANA MASTRANGELO Iranians around the world are sharing videos of themselves doing President Donald Trump’s famous dance to thank him for taking out Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “I feel the way I felt when the Berlin Wall went down,” one social media user reacted. Video footage of Iranians busting out the president’s signature “Trump dance” has been going viral on social media following Saturday’s fatal airstrikes against high-ranking officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Watch Below: Iranian American’s all across the country are hitting the Trump dance.. Liberals are FURIOUS. pic.twitter.com/bCYg1h2Lkh — American AF 🇺🇸 (@iAnonPatriot) March 1, 2026 Notably, the celebratory dance features the Village People’s 1978 hit, “YMCA,” with Iranians imitating Trump’s sharp, rhythmic arm pumps that have become a well-known staple at the president’s rallies. “I am an Iranian and this is the best day of my life,” an Iranian-born PhD c...

By Brad Slager It is Election Day in Texas, and most of the focus is on the U.S. Senate race. The focus for weeks has been on the Democrat Party battle, with upstart Texas House Rep. James Talarico waging a battle with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who is looking to retain relevance. Jasmine’s latest example of mental prowess is showing why she is going to struggle in a general election, but also why we hope for a continued run. Ms. Crockett had her congressional district erased, so she is striving to remain in D.C. by running for the Senate. Her desperation is such that she has become somewhat untethered from reality – and yes, we fully acknowledge she may not have been fully fastened to it, to begin with. Crockett’s career path has been rather circuitous over the past year, as her stature within the party has shifted.  With the return of President Trump, Crockett became a party darling, thanks to her boisterous camera time and code-switching dexterity, shifting from appeari...

By Victor Davis Hanson War is the use of arms to settle differences—tribal, political, religious, cultural, and material—between organized groups. It is unchanging. The general laws of armed conflict stays immutable, given the constancy of human nature. However, the manner in which war is conducted remains fluid. New weapons, tactics, and strategies elicit counterresponses in an endless cycle of tensions between defensive and offensive superiority. That said, has President Trump introduced a novel way of waging Western war against America’s foreign enemies? We saw glimpses of it during his first term, when he eliminated Iranian general and terrorist kingpin Qassem Soleimani and ISIS terrorist grandee Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. In the former case, he preferred hitting the cause rather than the effects of Iranian terrorism in Syria and Iraq, while making it clear that he had no intention of striking the Iranian mainland and entering into a tit-for-tat “forever war.” In large part, he was ...

By Rusty Weiss Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday targeted the Assembly of Experts building in Qom, Iran, as the clerical body constitutionally tasked with selecting a successor to late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei convened. Khamenei was eliminated during the opening salvo of Operation Epic Fury, a U.S.-Israeli military campaign, over the weekend. The timing of the new strikes was impeccable. An Israeli defense official reported that the military hit the site precisely as members convened to count votes and deliberate on a new leader.  "We wanted to prevent them from picking a new supreme leader," the official said, according to  Axios . Mission accomplished. Reports suggest the facility suffered severe damage, but there are no indications yet of any potential casualties among the regime's key religious-political figures. The 88-member council, if they're still standing, now faces even greater disruption amid the ongoing war. . @TreyYingst reports that Israel...

By Tyler Durden Israeli and US forces pressed forward with their assault on Iran, striking targets across the country, including Iran's state broadcaster and central military command centers, as the  official death toll has climbed to 787 Iranians killed  since the start of the Trump-ordered Operation Epic Fury. The US has sustained at least six troop deaths and several more seriously wounded. Fears that this could open to a broader multi-front war  appear to be coming to reality, as at the same time Israel escalated operations on a second front, intensifying airstrikes on Lebanon and launching a  new ground incursion into the south .  Beirut is once again under Israeli bombs , after Israel accused Hezbollah of firing rockets on the north. What's more is that Kann News is citing a senior Israeli official as follows:  We assess that Saudi Arabia will attack Iran soon after it was attacked yesterday .  The war is expanding. The conflict has cont...

By Kevin Downey Jr. As some of you know, I was a big ole New York City liberal for many years. I was really bad at it, and I got increasingly worse. Back in 2003, a white lib friend with a bachelor’s from Brown and a need to downplay zher privilege once “bravely” decried “systemic racism,” while chugging a $10 IPA and occasionally checking its $700 phone (big money in 2003). As zhe spoke, I silently recalled my first racially motivated ass-kicking. I was six or seven years old, growing up in Detroit. They were older, bigger, and there were more of them. Two held my arms while one or two beat the potato salad out of me. Another bigger kid bopped my five-year-old sibling. My helplessness to save him still infuriates me. I had never even been in a fight. In all seriousness, I thought we had been thumped by members of the Jackson Five. Humiliatingly, one of them was Janet. FACT-O-RAMA!  To be a devout libstain in New York City, one must have a tenuous-at-best grasp on reality. A la...

By Bob Hoge The Democrats’ reaction to the removal from the earth of one of the most evil people in modern times, former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been hysterical, unhinged, and, quite frankly, juvenile. We’ve got the usual America-hating suspects like Reps. Rashida Tlaib (MI-10) and Ilhan Omar (MN-05)  freaking out , and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was busy  peddling conspiracy theories  (I’m almost surprised he didn’t bring up Russian influence). But House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) really took the cake on Monday, basically predicting that the military operations against Iran will inevitably lead to failure. It almost sounds like he’s rooting for his country to meet with disaster. That is truly deranged, even for a Democrat. This is what he said to CNN anchor Kate Bolduan — you be the judge: The American people want us to focus on making their life better and making their life more affordable;  not getting involved in another e...
