Sen. Cotton: Iran’s Ayatollahs Are ‘Scared to Death’ of Trump – As They Should Be!

On Fox News Sunday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) declared that when it comes to Iran, President Trump means business—and the Iranian regime knows it.

Host Shannon Bream dove into the topic, asking about the ongoing talks with Iran, led by Mr. Witkoff. She read a statement he gave to Breitbart that made some folks raise an eyebrow:

“We’ve stated our position the Iranians cannot have a bomb. They have stated back to us that they don’t want one. So we’re going to for the purposes of this discussion take them at their word that that’s actually how they feel. Do you take them at their word?”

Bless her heart. Cotton wasted no time setting the record straight with a classic dose of common sense and reality:

“He’s been very clear what President Trump’s position is. Iran cannot have the ability to enrich uranium. That’s really the critical path to getting a nuclear weapon. So they can’t have centrifuges. They can’t enrich uranium at all. Because if you enrich to any level, you can ultimately enrich to weapons-grade levels. That’s the unified position of the American government. That’s been our position for many years. And again, that’s the example of what strong American leadership looked like. That would be a good, strong deal.”

In case anyone forgot, Cotton made sure to call out just how much weaker Obama’s approach was by comparison:

“Barack Obama’s deal allowed them to have centrifuges and a vast nuclear infrastructure to enrich uranium. What you see here is the difference between, on the one hand, President Trump’s America first approach, which recognizes the mortal threat that a nuclear Iran poses to the United States, and what you might call the blame America first mindset, which blames America for the tensions we have with Iran, says that, well, a bad deal is better than going to war, and that’s our only other choices. That’s what Barack Obama used to say. President Trump rejects that mindset. He believes it’s possible to get a deal with Iran because of the pressure we’ve put on them, because of the economic pressure we’ve put on them, and because frankly the ayatollahs are scared to death of Donald Trump, and they have been for eight years. That’s why they tried to kill him last year on the campaign trail.”

Mic. Drop.

While the Biden crew tries to coddle terrorists and act like “trust but verify” means “trust and pray for the best,” Trump made it crystal clear: No centrifuges. No uranium games. And definitely no nuclear bombs. Period.

And let’s be real—when the enemy is terrified of your president, that’s not a problem. That’s strength.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says Dems Want a ‘Safe White Boy’ in 2028 (WATCH)

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says Dems Want a ‘Safe White Boy’ in 2028 (WATCH)

Democrats are already scheming about 2028, and according to Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett , they’ve got their eyes locked on a certain candidate. And spoiler alert: it’s not a woman or a minority. Shocking, right?

Crockett recently dropped this little nugget of truth during an appearance on Urban View radio with Clay Cane and Reecie Colbert, as reported by The Wrap on Saturday.

The conversation focused on who the Democrats might run next, and Crockett made it clear—she wants her party laser-focused on beating President Donald Trump, who she claims is just too much for America to handle (despite the fact that he’s absolutely surging in the polls).

Crockett didn’t hold back when she called out what she says is the Democratic Party’s fear of backing a woman in the primaries.

“And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win. So there’s a lot of people that are like, you know what? Like, let’s go find the safest white boy we can find. I mean, I’m just saying.”

“No, for real. And to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate. I had a donor on the phone with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate. So I can tell, and I tell you, it’s not a black person nor a woman, okay?”

Well, there you have it. So much for the party of “diversity and inclusion.” Apparently, the plan is to play it safe—with a generic, establishment-approved “white boy.” Because nothing says progressive like completely sidelining the very groups they claim to champion.

Naturally, Crockett also took the chance to throw punches at Trump, because no Democrat interview is complete without that.

“People fail to recognize how unique Trump is. They continue to say, ‘Well, we lost.’ Well, they both lost to Trump. Trump who is a misogynist, Trump who is going to ramp up the misogynists in the first place because that’s what he does. He is disrespectful. Like, right now, he still doesn’t know how to deal with me. Because if you punch me, I’m punching back, okay?”

But while Crockett’s busy talking trash, Trump’s over here racking up approval points. According to Breitbart News, in mid-April he hit his highest approval rating since taking office in 2017. So clearly, the American people aren’t buying what Crockett’s selling.

And let’s not forget—this is the same congresswoman who made headlines back in March for calling paralyzed Texas Governor Greg Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” and a “hot-ass mess.” Real classy, Jasmine.

Meanwhile, Democrats in the Senate are reportedly sweating bullets over the thought of Kamala Harris running again in 2028. Yeah, because that went so well the first time.

Looks like the left is already in panic mode—and it’s only 2025.

Trump’s Trade Pressure Works—China Blinks on Tariffs

Trump’s Trade Pressure Works—China Blinks on Tariffs

Well, well, well. After months of playing economic chicken, the United States and China have decided to hit the brakes—at least for now. On Monday, both countries agreed to hit “pause” on most of the sky-high tariffs they’ve been flinging at each other like dodgeballs in a middle school gym.

The news came out of Geneva, where top dogs from both sides met for two days of talks to cool off the trade war heat. In a joint statement (read: a diplomatic version of “let’s not fight in public”), they announced a 90-day de-escalation window while the real negotiations roll on.

Here’s the meat of the deal: The U.S. is dialing back its tariffs on Chinese imports from a wild 125% to a more manageable 10%. China’s doing the same—because tit for tat is the name of the game in global trade. Oh, and those sneaky non-tariff tricks Beijing pulled since April? Yeah, those are getting shelved too.

But don’t get it twisted—President Trump isn’t going soft. That separate 20% tariff over China’s role in fueling America’s fentanyl crisis? Still locked in place. As it should be.

Despite the kumbaya vibes, neither side is pretending this is a done deal. They both called it the first step toward a “sustainable, long-term, and mutually beneficial” trade relationship. Whatever that means in international diplomat-speak. They’ve even set up a fancy new “bilateral mechanism” to keep the conversation going. China’s bringing Vice Premier He Lifeng to the table, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Rep Jamieson Greer will hold it down for America.

“The Parties recognize the importance of their bilateral economic and trade relationship to both countries and the global economy,” the statement said, with all the politeness of a forced handshake at a family reunion. They also promised to keep talking “in the spirit of mutual opening, continued communication, cooperation, and mutual respect.”

Translation: We’re still not besties, but let’s keep it civil.

Let’s not forget how we got here. Back in April, President Trump rolled out major tariffs on Chinese imports, cranking up duties to as much as 145% on certain goods. China clapped back with its own tariffs, and the whole thing turned into a trade version of a reality show showdown—complete with drama, inflation fears, and chaos in the shipping lanes.

Monday’s deal is a truce, not a peace treaty. It’s a “let’s take a breather and talk this out” move—not a surrender. The tariff cuts are temporary, and both sides made it crystal clear: if things go south, it’s game back on.

Democrats Are Melting Down Over Trump’s Jet Again—Shocker!

Democrats Are Melting Down Over Trump’s Jet Again—Shocker!

On Monday’s episode of CNN’s “News Central”—aka the official drama club for the Democratic Party—Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) had a full-blown meltdown over President Donald Trump possibly receiving a luxury jet from Qatar.

Host John Berman kicked things off with his best “Can you believe this?” tone:

“Congressman, apparently the U.S. and Qatar are working out the final details of a gift, a big gift, a giant luxury 747 aircraft that President Trump is reportedly going to accept and the military is going to convert into being able to use as Air Force One. And then it may end up at the Trump presidential library after he leaves office. How do you feel about this gift?”

Cue Goldman, jumping at the chance to cry “corruption!” like it’s his favorite word:

“It is brazen corruption, a violation of the Constitution, the Foreign Emoluments Clause. It is a gift from a foreign government that is expressly not permitted under the Constitution and given that Donald Trump, as we know, is purely transactional, this gift, which ultimately will go to him, it’s not for the United States.”

Translation: Trump got something shiny, and the Democrats can’t stand it.

Goldman went on with more theatrical flair than a high school drama teacher:

“This is beyond anything that we’ve ever seen. And the fact that from my vantage point as a former ten year DOJ career prosecutor, to see that the attorney general has signed off on this, one of the most pathetic and weak legal analyzes I’ve ever seen, just underscores how far down the Department of Justice has fallen and how much in trouble we are that Donald Trump has really just remade our government for his own personal interests.”

Okay, Dan. Take a deep breath.

Let’s be real: the same people who were silent when foreign governments donated millions to the Clinton Foundation are now pretending to clutch their pearls over a plane that might end up in a presidential library one day.

If Trump got a jet and it’s being converted for Air Force One, it’s not exactly like he’s joyriding to Mar-a-Lago. But hey, when you’re a Democrat with no real agenda, “Orange Man Jet” is apparently the scandal of the week.

Trump Drops the Hammer on Big Pharma: No More Ripping Off America

Trump Drops the Hammer on Big Pharma: No More Ripping Off America

President Donald Trump isn’t here to play games—especially when it comes to your medicine cabinet. On Monday, Trump signed a no-nonsense executive order to slash drug prices in the U.S. to match what other countries are paying. Yep, the days of America footing the bill while other nations get discounts are over.

The order was signed in the Roosevelt Room with quite the power squad standing by: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Medicare and Medicaid boss Dr. Mehmet Oz, NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary. Talk about a dream team.

“Starting today, the United States will no longer subsidize the health care of foreign countries, which is what we were doing,” Trump declared, laying down the law.

And he didn’t stop there. “We were subsidizing others’ health care—countries where they paid a small fraction for the same drug that what we pay many, many times more for, and we’ll no longer tolerate profiteering and price gouging from Big Pharma,” he added, calling out the pharmaceutical fat cats. He also pointed out that it’s foreign countries who strong-armed these companies into this pricing mess in the first place.

A White House fact sheet explained that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Rep Jameson Greer are on the case, making sure shady foreign pricing tactics stop messing with what we pay here at home. Finally.

The order goes a step further— telling drug companies exactly what price targets they’ll need to hit to give Americans “the best deal.” That’s right, no more mystery math when it comes to your prescriptions.

Trump’s order also lays the groundwork for Americans to buy medications at the so-called “Most Favored Nation” prices. Translation: If another country gets a better deal, we get that deal too.

And if Big Pharma doesn’t play nice? Kennedy’s got the green light to bring the heat. According to the White House:

If drug manufacturers fail to offer most-favored-nation pricing, the Order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to: (1) propose rules that impose most-favored-nation pricing; and (2) take other aggressive measures to significantly reduce the cost of prescription drugs to the American consumer and end anticompetitive practices.

Trump’s not messing around. He said he expects drug prices to drop “between 59 and 80, and I guess even 90 percent.” That’s not a discount—that’s a mic drop.

Oh, and here’s the kicker: America makes up only 4% of the global population, but pharma companies rake in over two-thirds of their profits here. Let that sink in.

President Trump’s message? America First—especially when it comes to your medicine.

Broke Joe? Bidens Eye $30 Million Book Deal—If Jill Spills the Tea

Broke Joe? Bidens Eye $30 Million Book Deal—If Jill Spills the Tea

Looks like the Bidens are getting ready to cash in—big time. According to the Daily Mail, former President Joe Biden and his wife Jill are reportedly flirting with a juicy $30 million tell-all book deal. And yes, it would include pages straight from Jill’s own personal diary. Because nothing says “America First” like monetizing your husband’s presidential meltdown.

“She could write a very explosive book if she wanted to,” a former White House aide told the outlet.

Well, duh. If Jill decides to pull back the curtain on Joe’s mental decline, that trainwreck debate against Trump, and the behind-the-scenes chaos leading up to Biden dropping out of the 2024 race, publishers would be lining up with briefcases full of cash. But apparently, Jill might not want to air all that dirty laundry. Wonder why?

The report says Jill is the one holding the keys to this deal. She’s already worth around $15 million on her own, but the only way to hit that sweet $30 mil payday is to dish out the drama. And that means answering the tough questions—like whether she covered up Joe’s decline while playing the role of “Dr.” Damage Control in designer heels.

The report also says that Jill might snag the deal by going “scorched earth” on fellow Democrats who stabbed her husband in the back on his way out—like Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Clooney, and even Kamala Harris. Apparently, Jill’s got a memory like an elephant and a grudge list longer than a CVS receipt.

“She’s his grudge-holder for sure, and there are definitely plenty of people she will never talk to again, but it’s unlike her to take public swings at specific individuals or lay blame. It’s just not her style. That’s what is going to sell books, though,” a former Biden aide told the outlet.

So what’s really driving this sudden interest in storytelling? One word: money. With Hunter drowning in legal bills and art sales flatlining, the family piggy bank isn’t looking too hot. Sources say Hunter’s up to his neck in $15 million of debt and nobody’s exactly lining up to hear Joe or Jill speak for cash anymore.

“Given the financial state that her son is in and the lack of interest in paid speaking engagements for both of them, they could be forced to think twice about how personal and specific they get in their books,” another aide added.

No comment yet from Biden’s post-presidency office. Probably too busy pricing pens and notebooks.

I wonder when Ashley Biden will be offered a book deal for her diary….

Delulu Pelosi Hopes New Pope Will Preach Against Trump

Delulu Pelosi Hopes New Pope Will Preach Against Trump

Rep. Nancy Pelosi is back on MSNBC doing what she does best: clutching her pearls and hoping the Pope will step in to stop those “mean” Trump deportations.

During a segment on Chris Jansing Reports, the host brought up the new pope’s old social media posts—because apparently now we’re judging pontiffs by their reposts. One post slammed Trump and the president of El Salvador for laughing about a deportation. Another post took aim at VP JD Vance for saying Americans should care for their families and fellow citizens before worrying about the rest of the world. Gasp!

Jansing then asked the burning question: can the pope become the “moral and ethical voice” against Trump’s so-called mass deportations?

Pelosi, never one to miss a dramatic moment, replied, “Well, I certainly hope so. And I, from his comments previous to being elected the pope, he has made clear what his values and his view of all of that is.”

She wasn’t done yet. Pelosi added, “It is important, it is really important for us to listen to the words, both of our elected officials, when they say what they say about ranking people and their importance and our religious leaders. Now, let me just say one thing more about his holiness. He is — you know, he’s from the Augustinian Order, which he headed and all the rest. So St. Augustine is special to him.”

WATCH:

Because clearly, when it comes to immigration policy, the Speaker Emerita thinks the Vatican should have veto power over U.S. law.

While President Trump is focused on enforcing the border and protecting American jobs, Pelosi is out here hoping the Pope will log onto X and clap back at the White House. Priorities, am I right?

Walz Has MSNBC MeltDown: Says Trump Might Wear a Military Uniform Next

Walz Has MSNBC MeltDown: Says Trump Might Wear a Military Uniform Next

Looks like Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota has officially lost the plot. During a dramatic interview on MSNBC’s The Briefing, the Democrat governor warned that President Trump is turning America into a dictatorship—yes, seriously—and even predicted Trump might be strutting around in a military uniform soon. Grab the popcorn, folks.

Host Jen Psaki teed him up with some classic liberal fearmongering, asking if we’re already in the “worst-case scenario.”

Walz replied, “No I think it gets worse. I don’t say that as a pessimist. I say it as about a realist. We will win this. We will win it because the constitution will stay strong. We’re still seeing the courts while they’re under stress, holding. I see Donald Trump and I said it many months ago that he will eventually try and incarcerate political opponents. We saw it whether, you know, threatening my neighbor and dear friend and a man of perfect character, Tony Evers, next door. To threatening people who who don’t fall in line. Look, we’re going to have a military parade for him. I was only half tongue in cheek saying this guy will be in a military uniform before long, he is fully headed towards authoritarianism.”

Yes, you heard that right. Walz thinks Trump is about to march down Pennsylvania Avenue in full military garb while locking up his enemies like some cartoon dictator. Democrats love to accuse Trump of “authoritarianism” every time he enforces the law, secures the border, or reminds them he’s still got major support across the country.

This is the same tired script we’ve seen since 2016: call Trump a threat to democracy while ignoring actual authoritarian overreach from their own side.

Newsflash: the real “worst-case scenario” would be letting fear-mongering liberals like Walz run the country.

Adiós, Not Amnesty: Trump Teams with UN to Help Migrants Self-Deport

Adiós, Not Amnesty: Trump Teams with UN to Help Migrants Self-Deport

President Donald Trump is putting illegal migrants on notice: take the cash and go, or stay and pay. The administration just teamed up with the U.N.’s International Organization for Migration (IOM) to help make self-deportation a real option — with structure, support, and a one-way ticket outta here.

The IOM, which has helped millions of people return home since 1951, is stepping in to guide illegals through the process. “In the United States, many migrants face a challenging reality — navigating complex systems with limited options and resources,” IOM said, as reported by The Washington Post. “This initiative provides support to those who choose to return, helping them make a life-changing decision with care and clarity.”

Here’s how it works: Trump’s offering $1,000 to anyone who chooses to leave on their own. But if they stay? That’s a $998-a-day fine. Ouch. Those who self-deport can even take their earnings with them and get on a future legal immigration list — unlike the ones getting booted and banned.

Over 1,000 migrants have already signed up. And now that the IOM is involved, that number’s expected to climb.

IOM wants to make one thing crystal clear: “Our role is to ensure that those who lack the means to return on their own can do so in a safe, dignified, and informed way,” they said. “IOM does not facilitate or implement deportations.”

But of course, immigration activists are losing their minds. “I am deeply concerned that this administration is going to present biased information to people,” said Greg Chen from the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Some foreign towns aren’t happy either — because they’re used to American dollars rolling in from illegals working here. In 2023 alone, nearly $86 billion left the U.S. in “remittances.” That’s money not spent here, not boosting our economy, and not helping Americans.

Places like Nicaragua and Governador Valadares, Brazil, are already feeling the pinch. That cash flow is drying up fast. “We’re talking millions a day vanishing,” said the Brazilian town’s mayor, worried about his local economy.

Bottom line: Trump’s self-deportation plan is working. The gravy train is slowing down, and it’s America — not foreign economies — that’s coming out on top.
