🚨BREAKING: Mayor Mamdani has just BANNED large celebrations of more than 20 people for America's 250th anniversary. Mamdani cited "staffing shortages" as the reason. He ALLOWED over 1,000 Muslims to celebrate Ramadan in Time Square. Is this fair?

Victor Davis Hanson says European leaders are now trying to take credit for what happened to Iran, calling it “shameless” after they stayed on the sidelines while the real work was done: I think now that all the heavy lifting has been done and Iran is flat on its back, you’re going to see all these opportunistic, carrion actors come in. You’re going to see the UN say, ‘Well, we’re going to be in charge of the peace,’ or you’re going to see people say, ‘This is what we’re going to do with Lebanon,’ or individual European states, or the EU, or NATO. But none of them were to be found when it was very unpopular, very risky, and Iran had this reputation—unfounded, I think—but it was the terror of the Middle East. We were told it was indomitable. For 47 years, you might want to go to Iraq or Afghanistan, but you don’t go near Iran. They’re too crazy. They’re too dangerous. And Donald Trump, in less than six weeks, with the help of the Israeli Air Force, demolished it. And now all of a sudden, everybody wants to pile on and think that they’re somehow responsible for the future of the new Middle East. It’s really shameless. It really is.”

After a year and a half, I am back in the "public" television studio. We have just witnessed the last days of a propaganda machine. After the formation of the TISZA government, we will suspend the news services of the “public” media until its public service character is restored.

🇺🇸 America is now the undisputed energy superpower of the world: Oil: 24 million barrels per day (more than Saudi Arabia + Russia combined) Natural Gas: 119 billion cubic feet per day (more than Russia + Iran + China combined) If the Strait of Hormuz gets shut down for a long time, it might sting America but it would devastate Europe and Asia. Europe talks a big game about “green energy” and independence, yet still relies heavily on Middle East oil and gas. Meanwhile, the U.S. sits on massive domestic production and strategic leverage. This is raw power in 2026. America doesn’t just have energy independence, it has energy dominance. The world runs on oil and gas and right now, America controls the tap. Source: Benny Johnson

🇨🇳🇮🇷 China shuts down reports of sending weapons to Iran. Says it’s not happening and calls the claims “groundless smears”. Beijing adds its military exports are handled “cautiously and responsibly”. Basically… no weapons, no plans, no proof. Source: Tabz
