President Donald Trump spent the last week causing global panic, threatening to wipe out Iranian civilization before walking it back—at least for now.

But his callous threats are nothing new.

This is just the latest example of Republicans indulging themselves in phony masculinity by championing loud and obnoxious aggression. And this type of behavior didn’t begin with Trump, and it isn’t even the first time the right’s saber-rattling has involved Iran.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed signed a past pledge supporting Mohamed Morsi, the former Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood president.

The clip from Michigan gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s exchange with Republican Sen. Patrick Colbeck has reemerged as he campaigns for U.S. Senate, drawing fresh scrutiny over his response to claims of Sharia support and Muslim Brotherhood ties. He signed a statement backing Egypt’s Mohamed Morsi. And rallies on campus with figures like anti-America, anti-Jew inciter Hasan Piker.

Abdul El Sayed, the jihadi candidate, continues to run for office, lose and run and run again. Who is funding this election jihad? Who in the Democrat party continues to puts forth these enemies of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Trump’s Plans for Tanking the Mid-term Elections– sofrep.com

Driven by a desire to retain power and avoid political consequences such as impeachment, Donald Trump is pursuing three measures that could influence the upcoming midterm elections.

Late last month, the No Kings Movement conducted over three thousand large protests in all fifty states. As many as eight million concerned citizens made their voices heard, the largest protest in US history, and everyone was watching. This president and the complicit now sense their end and are rightfully frightened. The much-anticipated November mid-term elections risk sweeping a host of Trump supporters from office and Democrats becoming the majority in the House and Senate. Which risks a presidential impeachment process to follow. A third impeachment of a president has no historical precedent. Then again, there has never been a White House resident like this one.

Criminal Charges Dropped Against Team Behind Videos Exposing Planned Parenthood Baby Part Sales – lifenews.com

All criminal charges against our team are finally dropped.

After ten long, brutal years of relentless legal warfare, our entire team is fully vindicated and completely out of the courts — no jail time, no fines, no probation, and no admission of guilt. The videos stand. The truth endures.

Even with the $18 million civil judgement I still face, God has sustained us, and the abortion industry’s attempt to silence us has failed.

CNN called Operation Rescue “The Abortionists’ Number One Foe.” I am proud to lead that fight.

Ten years ago this summer, the Center for Medical Progress — which I co-founded, secretly directed, and fully funded through Operation Rescue donors — caught Planned Parenthood red-handed in their grotesque baby body parts trafficking ring.

While David Daleiden faced the cameras, I stayed in the shadows because Planned Parenthood knew my face and had targeted me for years. Operation Rescue donors bankrolled the entire operation, and our hidden cameras captured the horror:

How America is Developing China’s Weapons of War

The Hidden System Turning Chinese Tech Companies into Military Suppliers – warontherocks.com

In October 2022, Unitree Robotics joined Boston Dynamics, Agility Robotics, and three other firms in signing an open letter pledging not to weaponize their machines and to review customers’ intended applications. This Chinese startup based in Hangzhou had earned its place in that group. Founded in 2016 by a 26-year-old engineer named Wang Xingxing, who quit his job at the drone maker DJI during his probationary period, Unitree set out to build affordable quadruped robots. It worked. By 2023, the company held over 60 percent of the global quadruped robot market by unit sales. Its investors included Sequoia China, Meituan, and Shenzhen Capital Group. Its consumer-grade robot dogs are sold on Amazon.

Two years after the pledge, China’s state broadcaster aired footage of Unitree’s B1 quadrupeds carrying assault rifles in joint military exercises between the Chinese and Cambodian armed forces. By September 2025, robot dogs appeared in China’s largest-ever military parade on Chang’an Avenue. In July of the same year, a military training exercise at a Chongqing vocational college — jointly developed by students, faculty, and a military training team — featured Unitree machines fitted with rifles and rocket launchers. In an August 2025 statement, Unitree affirmed that it “has always been a civilian robotics company” and that all militarized modifications were made by third parties.

The interesting thing is, Unitree isn’t really lying. And that is precisely the policy problem. Unitree did not seek out the Chinese military. The Chinese Communist Party brought the military to Unitree through channels that required no direct order, no classified contract, and no corporate consent. Understanding how that system works, and why current U.S. policy does not reach it, is the most urgent analytical gap in the American response to Chinese military-civil fusion.

Fresh off of cheering on Iran for how they “humiliated” President Trump by trying to kill American airmen, MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell kicked off Tuesday night’s show by suggesting Adolf Hitler wasn’t as bad a leader as Trump. He went even further and suggested that America committed suicide as a civilization when voters elected Trump a second time.

As O’Donnell was coming on the air, his first words were a jab a trump and praise for Hitler. “’A whole civilization will die tonight.’ Hitler never said that,” he declared for the man who wanted to exterminate the Jews and wrote an entire book about it.

According to O’Donnell, no villain in the history of the world was as bad as Trump. “No head of state in the history of the world ever said that. Civilization had to wait literally thousands of years until today, April 7th, 2026 at 8:06 A.M. for a head of state to say and threaten ‘A whole civilization will die tonight,’” he asserted.

Adding: “No cruel king ever threatened that, no mass murdering tyrant anywhere in the world ever said that, or even thought it was possible.”

Shutting Down in NATO

Rubio hints at 80% reduction of U.S. military presence in Europe in near future.

Blurb:

“ONE-WAY STREET” ENDS: Marco Rubio MOVES TO AX 80% OF EUROPE BASES – gellerreport.com

As of April 2026, Marco Rubio is weighing a dramatic overhaul of the American military footprint in Europe—reviewing plans to shutter as much as 80% of U.S. bases after key NATO allies, including Spain and France, refused to grant access to bases and airspace during the Iran conflict. Framed under an “America First” doctrine, Rubio is openly questioning why the U.S. should continue spending roughly $60 billion annually to defend Europe if those same allies won’t back American operations when it matters—calling the current arrangement a “one-way street.” The proposal signals a potential strategic pivot away from the long-standing U.S. security umbrella over Europe, igniting debate between critics who warn of abandoning NATO commitments and supporters who argue it’s a long-overdue reckoning with allies seen as unwilling to carry their share of the burden.

Trump: “NATO nations have done absolutely nothing to help with the lunatic nation, now militarily decimated, of Iran.
The U.S.A. needs nothing from NATO, but ‘NEVER FORGET’ this very important point in time!”

rump: NATO is a paper tiger now… it all began with Greenland, we want Greenland. They don’t want to give it to us. And I said, bye bye.

As of April 2026, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reviewing plans to close up to 80% of U.S. military bases in Europe. This potential, significant reduction follows tensions where NATO allies, including Spain and France, refused to allow the U.S. to use military bases and airspace for operations during the Iran conflict.

Key Aspects of the Potential Base Reductions:

  • The Conflict: Rubio, acting on an “America First” directive, stated the U.S. must “reexamine” its relationship with NATO allies after they denied support during the crisis.
  • “One-Way Street”: Rubio questioned the utility of funding and staffing bases for European security if those allies refuse to support U.S. security interests.
  • Proposed Shift: The proposal argues for reducing the $60 billion annual cost of protecting Europe, suggesting a pivot away from maintaining the large, existing footprint.
  • Allied Reactions: While some critics view this as a potential abandonment of NATO commitments, proponents argue it is a necessary reaction to allies “freeloading”.

This reexamination focuses on whether Europe is upholding its end of the security arrangement.

No More Mass Mailer Elections?

Trump Signs Executive Order Limiting Mail-In Ballots – Legal Insurrection

President Donald Trump signed an executive order that limits who can submit a mail-in ballot in elections.

Trump signed the order “to strengthen election integrity by ordering citizen verification.”

“The Order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Social Security Administration, to compile and transmit to each State a State Citizenship List of confirmed U.S. citizens who will be 18 or older at the time of the next upcoming Federal election and reside in that State,” according to the fact sheet.

Mail-in ballots are not going anywhere.

It’s worth doing something to prevent fraud.

White House Staff Secretary Will Scarf said:

Mr. President, as you said, you have in front of you an executive order that deals with a number of issues relating to election integrity. As you’ve consistently identified, two of the biggest problems we have with election integrity in this country are one, inaccurate voter rolls that allow ineligible people to vote in various federal and state elections all over the country. Then secondarily, you’ve consistently identified that vote by mail in this country has become rife with fraud, people returning ballots who aren’t eligible, eligible to return ballots, ballots being sent to people who aren’t confirmed to be eligible voters.

So what this executive order is going to do is one, we’re going to take federal data, we’re going to ensure that each state’s election officials are provided with a comprehensive view of who the eligible voters in their jurisdiction actually are, allowing them to properly verify that everybody voting in their elections is legally able to vote. And then it orders the Postmaster General, the US Postal Service, to take bold new measures to verify that ballots both being sent to people are being sent to people who are eligible to vote, and then the ballots being returned are being properly returned by eligible voters only.

And we believe that combined the measures in this executive order will help secure elections in the future and ensure that the many abuses of our election system in the past aren’t repeated in future elections.

Iran’s leadership is facing new questions after a report claimed the country’s newly installed supreme leader is no longer able to function in his role just weeks after taking power.

According to The Times, Mojtaba Khamenei is “incapacitated and receiving medical treatment” in the city of Qom.

The report cites a diplomatic memo based on U.S. and Israeli intelligence shared with Gulf allies.

Intelligence Memo Raises Serious Questions

The memo reportedly describes Khamenei as suffering from a “severe condition.”

The unidentified condition has left him “unable to be involved in any decision-making by the regime.”

The claims, if accurate, would signal a major disruption at the top of Iran’s ruling structure during a period of heightened regional tensions.

A “shocking” number of former female employees and interns are preparing to come forward to accuse Rep. Eric Swalwell (|D-Calif.) of sexual misconduct, according to a Democrat activist.

Cheyenne Hunt, a lawyer, former congressional candidate and executive director of the left-wing nonprofit Gen-Z for Change, revealed on X Sunday, that she has been working with a number of women who are in the process of sharing their accusations with major news outlets. Hunt said she knew of a separate and “much larger group” of women who are also currently in the process of sharing their stories.

Swalwell’s alleged inappropriate sexual behavior is said to be an “open secret” in Washington DC, as is his alleged practice of forcing underlings to sign nondisclosure agreements.

Hunt posted an initial video on Instagram in late March accusing Swalwell of having “a known history of being predatory towards women.”  She cited a woman who told her: “You know Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs so they don’t speak up, right? And when I was 19 he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs and I have so many other friends that have similar experiences with him.”

Hunt said the allegation was “not an anomaly” but “part of a pattern.”

 

The IOC Just Dealt a Body Blow to Men Competing in Women’s Olympic Sports – RedState– redstate.com

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) made a huge announcement Thursday: going forward, biological males will be banned from competing in women’s categories at the Olympics, and all athletes who wish to compete as women will have to pass a SRY gene screening.

The SRY gene is located on the Y chromosome and is found in biological males. The IOC said in its announcement that it “considers that the presence of the SRY gene is fixed throughout life and represents highly accurate evidence that an athlete has experienced male sex development.” Athletes who want to compete in women’s events will have to undergo “once-in-a-lifetime” testing for the SRY gene via saliva, cheek swab or blood sample.

“The policy was developed on the basis that it is universally accepted that providing for a female category is necessary to allow both males and females equal access to elite sport,” the IOC said in an announcement.

“It was guided by the IOC’s modern goals relating to equality (equal opportunities for female athletes in finals, on podiums and in championships); enhancing Olympic value (featuring both women’s and men’s finals in every sport); and visibility and inspiration (celebrating female athletes on the Olympic podium to inspire and represent women and girls worldwide).”

Despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s sunny assessment of the prospects for a long-term peace agreement with Iran, fundamental differences remain between the two sides’ visions for a deal.

However, U.S. Vice-President JD Vance denies that this is the plan Trump was describing as workable.

An advisory firm that counsels the largest institutional investors on how to vote at shareholder meetings is recommending investors support Warner Bros. Discovery’s $77.7 billion acquisition by Paramount Skydance but is against a golden-parachute proposal that would see executives collect a total of $1.35 billion after the deal goes through.

In a report issued on Wednesday, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) said support for the “extraordinary golden parachute” proposal, which it valued at $886.8 million in payments for Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav and $466.2 million for the other executives, wasn’t warranted. ISS took issue with an “excise tax grossup” estimate of $335 million for Zaslav and hundreds of millions he stands to collect just because the deal between the two companies is happening.

It’s unclear if Zaslav will have a future role at the combined entity or with one of its affiliates or if he will continue on in a senior role. When Warner Bros. was weighing rival offers from David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance and Netflix last year, Ellison and his father, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, dangled a compensation package worth “several hundred million dollars” to Zaslav, according to the deal disclosures. David Ellison also floated Zaslav becoming chairman of the combined company’s board, and then upped it to a co-CEO and co-chairman title.
