Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Class Snob’ Democrats Clash With ICE Agents in New Jersey

Victor Davis Hanson comments on the rising hostility toward ICE agents after the arrest of Nicholas Matthew Scelfo for threatening an agent’s family, arguing authorities should make examples of such offenders while blue-state politics instead target citizen-journalism. Hanson portrays anti-ICE protests as an elitist class phenomenon that harms working-class communities and ties it to broader DEI-driven cultural and institutional decay, including politicized pro sports and coarsening public behavior. The episode highlights California’s AB 2624 (“Stop Nick Shirley Act”) as a retaliatory, constitutionally suspect effort to deter filming of nonprofit employees tied to illegal-immigrant services and alleged fraud exposure. Hanson also warns about tribalism, immigration-driven integration failures, UK policing distortions, and breakdowns in public order.

Trump Is About To Show Iran Who They’re Dealing With!!!

The Iranian regime's strategy to survive sanctions has been undermined by recent geopolitical shifts, notably losing support from China, its last significant ally. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed and escalating tensions, the U.S. military is prepared to increase pressure on Iran, which may lead to drastic changes in the region's stability and Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Live: Donald Trump boards Air Force One for China visit to meet with President Xi Jinping

This will be the first visit to China from a sitting U.S. president since Trump visited in 2017, Reuters reported. In Trump's first year back in office, China and the U.S. went tit for tat in a tariff trade war. The war in Iran is expected to be up for discussion on the visit, as China gets about 60% of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz.

Nine years since his first state visit to China, US President Donald Trump touches down in Beijing ahead of the highly anticipated China-US presidential summit. Trump said on social media on Monday that he was “very much looking forward” to his China visit and that “great things will happen for both countries”.

 

Trump Recites Powerful Verse From Bible & Addresses U.S. Christians Amid Feud With Pope Over Iran War

US President Donald Trump joined top Republicans and evangelical leaders for "America Reads the Bible," a marathon event celebrating the nation's spiritual heritage. Reading from the Oval Office, Trump recited an Old Testament passage calling for national repentance, reinforcing Christian nationalist themes. The event follows a wave of controversy surrounding a deleted social media meme and a public feud with Pope Leo XIV over the ongoing Iran war.

LIVE: Mar‑a‑Lago Election SHOCKER — Iran Hits US Base With Russian Help

  • Possible stolen election in Trump’s Mar‑a‑Lago backyard as a Palm Beach volunteer is arrested for allegedly stealing encrypted election equipment before a key local race.
  • Democrat Emily Gregory narrowly defeats Trump‑endorsed Republican Jon Maples by roughly 800 votes in a low‑turnout contest, flipping a long‑held GOP seat and raising serious election‑integrity concerns.
  • Investigators say the suspect took an encrypted access key and computer gear, triggering fears a skilled “tech nerd” could reverse‑engineer systems and tamper with voter‑registration databases.
  • Police later recover the key, equipment, and large amounts of digital storage at the suspect’s home, underscoring how vulnerable election infrastructure can be to insider threats.
  • Many Americans now worry that if an elections “volunteer” can walk out with sensitive gear in Florida, similar weaknesses could exist nationwide in 2026 and beyond.
  • The race has not yet been overturned, but new evidence is likely to spark investigations, calls for audits, and possibly demands for a new election in the Mar‑a‑Lago district.
  • In Washington, Secretary of State Marco Rubio claims the Iran conflict will be wrapped up in weeks, even as the Pentagon quietly plans a possible boots‑on‑the‑ground “Plan C.”
  • Iran, backed by Russian intelligence and satellite support, is escalating attacks on U.S. bases and energy sites across the Gulf, turning the war into a dangerous multi‑front struggle.
  • Russia helps Iran target U.S. forces while quietly benefiting from looser U.S. oil‑sanctions enforcement meant to keep global energy prices down.
  • China calls for a ceasefire and diplomacy, buying cheap oil and using the crisis to present itself as a “responsible” mediator while the United States absorbs the costs of war.
  • European allies like Spain refuse to let U.S. forces use their bases for Iran operations, exposing widening cracks inside NATO and fueling Trump’s argument that the alliance is one‑sided.
  • President Trump questions whether America should remain in NATO at current cost levels if Europe will not fully support U.S. troops under fire.
  • At home, Trump outsmarts Democrats by finding a legal workaround to pay TSA workers during a funding standoff, leading furious Democrats to sue him instead of fixing the problem.
  • Democrat leaders blame Republicans for airport chaos and unpaid workers, even as the House passes the Save America Act multiple times to secure free and fair elections.
  • Conservative lawmakers and CPAC speakers call for unity, election security, and replacing GOP leaders who refuse to deliver on voter‑ID and integrity reforms.

President Donald Trump will speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, after Trump’s call with Russian President Vladimir Putin took place a day earlier, discussing a possible ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Zelensky said Putin’s promise following a call with Trump to stop Russian attacks on energy and infrastructure in Ukraine was “very much at odds with reality,” after Russia hit Ukraine Tuesday night with 150 drones, damaging energy facilities.

“Today I will be in contact with President Trump,” Zelensky said at a news conference in Helsinki with Finnish President Alexander Stubb. “We will discuss the details of the next steps with him.”

However, Putin accused Ukraine of targeting Russian oil facilities overnight.

“If the Russians don’t hit our facilities, we definitely won’t hit theirs,” Zelensky said alongside Stubb, according to the Associated Press.

Additionally, Zelensky said he is expecting to hear more about Trump’s plans for implementing a ceasefire.

Meanwhile, the 47th president has been pushing for a ceasefire between the two sides. Russia and Ukraine are expected to exchange prisoners on Wednesday, a new development that Zelensky claimed is a welcome sign of building trust.

During his call with Trump, Putin demanded that Ukraine not recruit more military personnel or rearm troops during a ceasefire. Ukraine has said the demands are a move by Putin to weaken its country.

The Russian president has also cited NATO expanding its membership to Ukraine as a direct threat to Russia’s security and what it views as “root causes” of its initial invasion into Ukraine.

Zelensky has also said one of the toughest issues in future negotiations would be the issue of territorial concessions.

“For us, the red line is the recognition of the Ukrainian temporarily occupied territories as Russian. We will not go for it,” he said.

Vice President JD Vance reported that he was confronted by pro-Ukrainian protesters while he was on a walk with his 3-year-old daughter.

On Saturday, Vance posted on X that while he was out on a walk with his toddler, the protesters approached him.

“Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of ‘Slava Ukraini’ protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared,” Vance posted. “Slava Ukraini” means “Glory to Ukraine.”

“I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone,” he continued. “Nearly all of them agreed.”

He said it was a “mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a s— person.”

Vance did not specify what he talked to the protesters about. However, the encounter comes after President Donald Trump paused all military aid to Ukraine after the back-and-forth arguments in the Oval Office on February 28th with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Throughout the meeting, Trump and Vance accused Zelenskyy of not being grateful for the support the U.S. has already provided, while adding that the Ukrainian leader was in a “bad position” at the negotiating table.

“You’re playing cards,” Trump said. “You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III. You’re gambling with World War III. What you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country.”

Trump directed Zelensky to leave the White House without a deal being signed, adding that he can return “when he’s ready for peace.”

Last week, Zelensky called the meeting “regrettable,” adding that he’s now ready to work toward peace.
