The Great Migration Mandate

Thursday morning, President Trump declared that “The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT“. Hours later, Trump posted that he had discussions with the highest level of Iranian leadership, and that “Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved.” Later that day, Trump announced to reporters that “We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran.” That sounds promising, if it wasn’t for the fact that Iran’s Foreign Ministry has said that “no agreement has been reached.” And there are claims that the discussions being publicly described by Washington never even occurred. Does this all sound familiar? One day, we’re told victory is near. The next day, we’re told Iran is ready to surrender. Then reports surface that a deal is

According to multiple Skid Row residents, votes for Karen Bass were going for as little as two dollars during the 2026 Los Angeles mayoral election. Allegations of vote-buying emerged in a series of TikTok interviews. In the videos, residents described being offered small sums of money to fill out ballots. One woman, who said she was paid $2, stated, “They come out here all the time.” Another resident, Rene Johnson, said she received $5. Exploiting some of Los Angeles’ most vulnerable residents for votes certainly paints an ugly picture of our political system, doesn’t it? The allegations are just the latest controversy surrounding Bass. She faces criticism over a city plagued by homelessness, crime, and deteriorating conditions, and continued backlash over her handling of the devastating Palisades fires. Even her own brother is suing the city she runs after losing his Malibu home in the fire. You’d think a string of controversies

Inflation has been steadily climbing and is now at its highest level in three years, thanks to the United States’ refusal to pull out of Israel’s war with Iran. The situation mirrors what happened under President Biden, when billions of taxpayer dollars were poured into the war in Ukraine. Now it’s the same story all over again, just a different president, a different country, but with an even greater economic impact. According to the latest Consumer Price Index report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, consumer prices in May 2026 are sky-high, up 4.2 percent compared to May 2025. Of course, no one needed a government report to know inflation is bad. Every trip to the grocery store is a real-life inflation report. Grocery prices are up 3.1 percent, while restaurant prices have increased 2.7 percent, which means it could be cheaper to eat out than cook at

The United States has begun launching new airstrikes against targets inside Iran. According to CENTCOM, U.S. forces struck multiple locations in Iran after President Trump authorized additional military action. Explosions were reportedly heard in Sirik, Qeshm Island, Minab, and Isfahan as tensions between Washington and Tehran continued to escalate. The justification? CENTCOM claimed the attacks were “self-defense” and were launched in response to Iran’s “unwarranted and continued aggression.” It’s hard to buy the “self-defense” narrative when, earlier that day, Trump said the U.S. was close to a deal while also promising to “hit them hard.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a similar message, stating that the U.S. would “strike Iran with full force today.” It’s the same contradictory rhetoric we’ve heard time and time again: “We’re close to a deal” on one hand, yet “we’re going to bomb the sh#! out of them” on the other. It makes no sense at all. At this

The U.S. began striking Iran overnight in retaliation for what President Trump said was a downed helicopter that was patrolling the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM says that it is done now, as if it were a movie premiere that came and went. In response, Iran reportedly launched attacks on the U.S. Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain, U.S. assets in Jordan, Kuwait, and possibly Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The extent of the damage on either side has yet to be assessed as of this writing. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that the U.S. should cease escalating with Iran because its military “will leave no attack or threat unanswered. Leave our region if you want to be safe.” All of this started over an empty helicopter? The story is fishy. President Trump said that there were only two pilots on board but “both are safe and uninjured.” There are many unconfirmed reports that there were seven people aboard, not

NBC News reports that Israel may be spying on top U.S. officials. Duh! Why is this being presented as a shocking development? U.S. intelligence officials, whistleblowers, and journalists have been discussing Israeli espionage against the United States for decades. In 2019, Politico reported that U.S. officials believed Israel was behind Stingray surveillance devices found near the White House during Trump’s first term. According to that report, there were no meaningful consequences. So what exactly has changed? NBC’s reporting suggests that Israel is seeking insight into internal Trump administration deliberations on Iran and the broader Middle East. But if Israel already enjoys extensive access to Washington’s political and military establishment, does this indicate that certain channels have been cut off? Or is this simply another attempt to create the appearance of daylight between Washington and Tel Aviv? Either way, the real story may not be that Israel is spying.
