America’s birthday has always been important in my family: the food, the fireworks, and the fun. But are we doing enough as parents to ensure the United States celebrates many more birthdays after this one? Some claim empires begin to decline at the 250-year mark. While historians generally regard this as more myth than fact,…

President Donald Trump on Thursday clapped back against those criticizing his peace deal with Iran that is supposed to bring an end to the war while paving the way for future negotiations on important sticking points like the regime’s nuclear weapons program. “These fools, who think I haven’t been tough enough on Iran, when the…
A United States official confirmed to Townhall that the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran was signed. “On Sunday, the MOU was signed digitally by Vice President Vance and Speaker Ghalibaf and witnessed by President Trump.

Inflation ticked higher in May as American consumers continued to face elevated fuel prices amid the Iran war’s impact on the energy market and across the economy.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth revealed Wednesday that the United States has used the ceasefire with Iran to significantly expand its intelligence-gathering efforts, identifying additional regime personnel and other critical targets. He said that if the U.S. is forced to resume full-scale combat operations, future strikes would be even more effective than those carried out at the…
A journalist got a brutal reality check after suggesting the United States could be committing a war crime following President Trump’s remarks, Wednesday that strikes against Iran’s bridges and electrical infrastructure were back on the table. The clash comes as the Trump administration has resumed strikes on Iranian targets after an attack on an Apache helicopter…
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) stepped on a landmine at the worst possible time. Also, what were you thinking, man? You didn’t need to weigh in on this, did you? As Joe wrote earlier this morning, the outgoing Texas Republican Senator posted an article about how the libertarian candidate is trying to curry favor with disaffected GOP…
U.S. forces have reportedly conducted self-defense strikes against Iranian mine-laying ships and missile launch sites. Two Iranian ships were struck in the Strait of Hormuz, which CENTCOM has considered to be eliminated. Surface-to-air missile batteries that targeted American aircraft were also reportedly destroyed. Officials were quick to announce that this was not an end to…
President Trump stayed undefeated with his endorsements after Tuesday’s primaries, which also saw the defeat of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) in his primary. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) was ousted last weekend—he’ll be searching for a new job soon. And prior to that, there were a few anti-redistricting Republicans in Indiana. It’s a revenge tour—cross the…
President Trump is in China for a historic meeting with President Xi Jinping. We have some details now on what was discussed at a bilateral meeting between the two nations, and the White House is touting some of those ket issues as win. This includes an end to the flow of fentanyl precursors into the…
It was the red wedding. It was the assassinations at the Twins. President Donald Trump was likely intensely focused on a number of races in Indiana’s State Senate: multiple primary challengers sought to oust weak and indecisive anti-redistricting Republicans who refused to redraw their maps. It was a crushing blow, a total betrayal. And traitors…
The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, rebuked Representative John Garamendi (D-CA) after he, like others, accused the Trump administration of trapping the United States in another forever war in the Middle East. Hegseth blasted the congressman for making that claim only two months into a conflict where active combat is no longer occurring, and questioned…
A three-year-old girl in Houston is recovering after she was the victim of a horrific attack at the hands of an illegal alien at a park on the city’s south side. Gabriella Perez and her family were fishing at Espada Park when a man came out of the woods and began attacking Perez. Perez dropped…
The Virginia referendum is over: a new map will give Democrats a 10-1 advantage in congressional districts. It’s a wild map, with several districts originating from Northern Virginia; it looks like an octopus, though some say it’s more of a lobster. Just Google it—you’ll see. We had a chance to end this last year, but…
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and General Dan Caine held another briefing this morning on Operation Epic Fury, amid the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. They were joined by CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper. Hegseth started with a message to Iran’s military leadership, telling them, “We’re watching you. Our capabilities are not the…
I’ll give a hat tip to CNN. This interview with Eric Swalwell’s attorney was well executed, and man, was this a huge mistake by the congressman’s attorney. On April 11, CNN’s Elex Michaelson interviewed Elias Dabaie, and he didn’t do the congressman any favors. In fact, it was a multi-car pile-up. Dabaie seemed unprepared, cold,…
Yesterday, President Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir pushed for diplomacy to end the war. The anti-Trump Left covered itself in glory too, claiming in the morning that President Trump was committing war crimes and going to nuke Iran to crowing that he folded and is weak…
President Trump gave the Iranian regime until 8 pm tonight to agree to a ceasefire deal. He made it very clear that Iran is either going to disarm and open the Strait of Hormuz, or he will bomb the regime into submission. Of course, the Left is melting down over this, calling the legitimate targeting…
