Worth the read. Immigration raid on a business…shockingly American citizens wanted the jobs. Whodathunkit?
I generally support Rand Paul, but here he is a moron trying to score political points with the Left. I recall in my youth seeing the Thunderbirds practicing regularly. I also routinely saw the Blue Angels. We have military plane flyovers at our sporting events. The parades/recognition of the Army, Navy and Marines was being planned in 2023 already. He wasn’t even President then. The anniversary being on his birthday is mere coincidence. Navy and Marines willbe celebrated on other dates this year. Sen. Paul doesn’t understand that honoring the 250th anniversary of the very institutions and the soldiers who made that sacrifice to serve and kept our nation free is worthy of a giant party and parade.
Nearly 1 million illegal immigrants have ‘self-deported’ under Trump, which has led to higher wages
DHS can’t arrest and deport 15.4 million illegal aliens, but if it simply enforces the law, many aliens will get the message and leave on their own — as hundreds of thousands apparently already hav…

I’m telling you right now.. if anyone else tries to win political points from the murder in Minnesota I will ban you and no more political threads will be allowed on this site. Did you not get the message before?
"Investing in Black is not a criminal act". Does the Chicago Mayor support racism against non black citizens in all areas or just when giving only Blacks money based on skin color?
Non blacks have been voting for years moving away from Chicago.

Tulsi Goes Nuclear on the Warmongers
Opposing the atomic bombings of Japan is a great conservative tradition.
Does someone want to tell him that California can pass this bill and it still won' stop Federal agents from wearing masks?
Your America First president is about to drag the United States into WW3.
But it sure is racist AF
Can you imagine a White mayor saying that about White-owned businesses?
Yep. Another genius post. We are definitely at the forefront of all of the world’s conflicts. The scary orange man is absolutely dragging us into WW3! 🤣
Yep… a kind yet strong gesture. Helping a rickety old timer sit down. You thinking this pic is some “gotcha” moment against trump only confirms your own lack of strength and leadership.
OT-Media Tricks to get Clicks. The media is ripping on Rory McIroy because he has decided lately to not do media scrums after each round of golf. I think he has struggled golf wise the past few years but did just win the Masters in 2025, so it's not like he is washed up.
Anyway, along comes the New York Post, scouring X for a post from golf "influencer" Paige Spiranac, which is defending Rory. Include some pictures (of Paige) and the editor says print it. Somehow, I don't remember anything about what was said about Rory...

Obama had worked a treaty which kept Iran from working on Nuclear and was successful. US had to return Iran's money because it was litigated and we lost in a World Court. Again the treaty was successful. Your genius cancelled it, and work on nuclear program has increased. Terrorist funding has increased. Now Trump is working frantically to get back an agreement like the one he cancelled. Idiot.
Yes. I’ve followed her for a long time. She is an interesting story. She’s a very good golfer. If real men can get beyond her sex appeal, she does share good information on her youtube page and in particular to those who might be novices at the sport. Her mom is a former model and essentially assists with her promotional material.
‘We Now Have Complete And Total Control’: Trump Confirms U.S. is Part of Conflict With Iran
President Donald Trump appeared to confirm that the United States is now a part of Israel's attack on Iran during a Tuesday morning social media post.

The 2010 deal allowed Rosatom, the Russian nuclear energy agency, to acquire a controlling stake in Uranium One, a Canadian-based company with mining stakes in the Western United States.
We covered it during the 2016 presidential campaign, when Donald Trump falsely accused former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of giving away U.S. uranium rights to the Russians and claimed — without evidence — that it was done in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation.
Now, the issue is back in the news, and numerous readers have asked us about it again. So we will recap here what we know — and don’t know — about the 2010 deal.
At the time, Uranium One’s two licensed mining operations in Wyoming amounted to about “20 percent of the currently licensed uranium in-situ recovery production capacity in the U.S.,” according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In-situ recovery is the extraction method currently used by 10 of the 11 licensed U.S. uranium producers.
Uranium One also has exploration projects in Arizona, Colorado and Utah.
But the deal required multiple approvals by the U.S., beginning with the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States. Under federal law, the committee reviews foreign investments that raise potential national security concerns.
The committee can’t actually stop a sale from going through — it can only approve a sale. The president is the only one who can stop a sale, if the committee or any one member “recommends suspension or prohibition of the transaction,” according to guidelines issued by the Treasury Department in December 2008 after the department adopted its final rule a month earlier.
For this and other reasons, we have written that Trump is wrong to claim that Clinton “gave away 20 percent of the uranium in the United States” to Russia. Clinton could have objected — as could the eight other voting members — but that objection alone wouldn’t have stopped the sale of the stake of Uranium One to Rosatom.
“Only the President has the authority to suspend or prohibit a covered transaction,” the federal guidelines say. We don’t even know if Clinton was involved in the committee’s review and approval of the uranium deal. Jose Fernandez, a former assistant secretary of state, told the New York Times that he represented the department on the committee. “Mrs. Clinton never intervened with me on any C.F.I.U.S. matter,” he told the Times, referring to the committee by its acronym.

Now, the issue is back in the news, and numerous readers have asked us about it again. So we will recap here what we know — and don’t know — about the 2010 deal.
The Deal
On June 8, 2010, Uranium One announced it had signed an agreement that would give “not less than 51%” of the company to JSC Atomredmetzoloto, or ARMZ, the mining arm of Rosatom, the Russian nuclear energy agency.At the time, Uranium One’s two licensed mining operations in Wyoming amounted to about “20 percent of the currently licensed uranium in-situ recovery production capacity in the U.S.,” according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In-situ recovery is the extraction method currently used by 10 of the 11 licensed U.S. uranium producers.
Uranium One also has exploration projects in Arizona, Colorado and Utah.
But the deal required multiple approvals by the U.S., beginning with the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States. Under federal law, the committee reviews foreign investments that raise potential national security concerns.
The Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States
The Committee on Foreign Investments has nine members, including the secretaries of the treasury, state, defense, homeland security, commerce and energy; the attorney general; and representatives from two White House offices (the United States Trade Representative and the Office of Science and Technology Policy).The committee can’t actually stop a sale from going through — it can only approve a sale. The president is the only one who can stop a sale, if the committee or any one member “recommends suspension or prohibition of the transaction,” according to guidelines issued by the Treasury Department in December 2008 after the department adopted its final rule a month earlier.
For this and other reasons, we have written that Trump is wrong to claim that Clinton “gave away 20 percent of the uranium in the United States” to Russia. Clinton could have objected — as could the eight other voting members — but that objection alone wouldn’t have stopped the sale of the stake of Uranium One to Rosatom.
“Only the President has the authority to suspend or prohibit a covered transaction,” the federal guidelines say. We don’t even know if Clinton was involved in the committee’s review and approval of the uranium deal. Jose Fernandez, a former assistant secretary of state, told the New York Times that he represented the department on the committee. “Mrs. Clinton never intervened with me on any C.F.I.U.S. matter,” he told the Times, referring to the committee by its acronym.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
It is also important to note that other federal approvals were needed to complete the deal, and even still more approvals would be needed to export the uranium.First, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had to approve the transfer of two uranium recovery licenses in Wyoming from Uranium One to the Russian company. The NRC announced it approved the transfer on Nov. 24, 2010. But, as the NRC explained at the time, “no uranium produced at either facility may be exported.”
The NRC said that the export license allowed RSB to ship uranium to a conversion plant in Canada and then back to the United States for further processing.
Canada must obtain U.S. approval to transfer any U.S. uranium to any country other than the United States, the letter says.
“Please be assured that no Uranium One, Inc.-produced uranium has been shipped directly to Russia and the U.S. Government has not authorized any country to re-transfer U.S. uranium to Russia,” the 2015 letter said.
“That 2015 statement remains true today,” David McIntyre, a spokesman for the NRC, told us in an email.
RSB Logistics’ current export license, which expires in December, still lists Uranium One as one of its suppliers of uranium.
Uranium One, which is now wholly-owned subsidiary of Rosatom, sells uranium to civilian power reactors in the United States, according to the Energy Information Administration. But U.S. owners and operators of commercial nuclear reactors purchase the vast majority of their uranium from foreign sources. Only 11 percent of the 50.6 million pounds purchased in 2016 came from U.S. domestic producers, according to the EIA.
With rare exception of eras, US almost always has complete control of the skies whether we are the ones fighting or whether we are using our "resources" to help allies and provide them with precise information on targets. Very vague article. Could our military be directly involved in the fighting? Sure. I would want more detailed info.‘We Now Have Complete And Total Control’: Trump Confirms U.S. is Part of Conflict With Iran
