During wartime, we usually see near-daily briefings from top US military officials who feel an obligation to update the public. But not this time. There have only been six Pentagon briefings since the strikes in Iran started.

Trump won in 2024 because of men. They are abandoning him right now. He won men by 13 pt in 2024, but his net approval is now -7 pt with them. Men under 45: Trump won by 5 pt in 2024. Now he's 19 pt underwater with them. On cost living, he's now 30 pt underwater with men!

Scoop in @playbookdc: @hasanthehun, the left-wing political streamer with millions of followers, will rally with Michigan Democratic Senate candidate @AbdulElSayed at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan on April 7. It’s his first appearance on the stump for a candidate.

The Pentagon Press Association speaks out against the administration's latest plan to limit press access >>> The Pentagon’s announcement today is a clear violation of the letter and spirit of last week’s ruling by a U.S. federal court. The Pentagon Press Association is consulting with our legal counsel and will advise members once this process is complete. Press freedom is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and an informed public is vital to a democracy. Judge Paul Friedman specifically ruled that the department was to restore access “especially in light of the country’s recent incursion into Venezuela and its ongoing war with Iran.” Judge Friedman continued: “It is more important than ever that the public have access to information from a variety of perspectives about what its government is doing—so that the public can support government policies, if it wants to support them; protest, if it wants to protest; and decide based on full, complete, and open information who they are going to vote for in the next election. As Justice Brandeis correctly observed, ‘sunlight is the most powerful of all disinfectants.’” At such a critical time, we ask why the Pentagon is choosing to restrict vital press freedoms that help inform all Americans.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump the government shutdown! "The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, ‘OK let’s accept their offer…’ Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump] said ‘No! No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week but the President said ‘no deal.’” This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN! Even Republicans are acknowledging it.

🚨 UPDATE: After our letter, Indiana University has launched a formal investigation into its Muslim Philanthropy Initiative’s reported dealings with an organization allegedly tied to the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas.
Andrew Ireland@AndrewIrelandIN

🚨 Today I led a coalition of Indiana lawmakers in demanding an immediate investigation into reports that an Indiana University program partnered with a "charity" allegedly tied to the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas. Hoosiers deserve answers. Letter below. President Whitten and Dean Pasic: We write with grave concern regarding recent reporting that Indiana University’s Muslim Philanthropy Initiative (“MPI”), a unit housed within the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, organized fundraising and training events with Hayat Yolu Association, an Istanbul-based organization that the United States Department of the Treasury designated on March 12, 2026 as a “sham charity” that provided significant material support to Hamas. Treasury further stated that Hayat Yolu was involved in Hamas’s international funding network and functioned as an operational, banking, and financial hub for the Muslim Brotherhood. These are not minor or technical allegations. They go to the heart of whether an Indiana public university lent its credibility, brand, and institutional resources to a foreign organization the federal government has now identified as part of a terrorist financing apparatus. According to public reporting, MPI worked with Hayat Yolu in July 2025 and again in January 2026 on events designed to help Islamic NGOs “refine their fundraising strategies,” improve performance, and better advance their missions. The same report states that MPI’s annual report thanked Hayat Yolu for its “generous support.” If that reporting is accurate, the public deserves immediate answers as to whether Indiana University helped a now-sanctioned entity improve its fundraising capacity, whether IU accepted any money or in-kind support tied to that entity, and what due diligence—if any—was performed before entering into or continuing the relationship. This matter is even more troubling because it does not appear to be an isolated lapse. In 2022, your school publicly acknowledged that it “failed in our due diligence” after hosting Sami Al-Arian. That history matters. When an institution has already been warned by experience that it must scrutinize extremist-adjacent programming with exceptional care, the standard for oversight is higher, not lower. A second controversy of this magnitude suggests a systemic failure in vetting, governance, supervision, or all three. Indiana University is not a private club free to operate behind closed doors while taxpayers, students, faculty, alumni, and the broader public are told to trust the process. It is a public institution, and the people of Indiana have every right to know whether university personnel partnered with, trained, platformed, or accepted support from an organization that the federal government now says bankrolled Hamas. The question is not whether university leaders agree with Treasury’s judgment. The question is whether IU exercised the level of diligence, supervision, and accountability that the public is entitled to expect. Accordingly, we request that Indiana University immediately take the following actions: •Open a formal internal investigation into MPI’s relationship with Hayat Yolu Association, including all meetings, trainings, conferences, funding arrangements, travel, sponsorships, memoranda of understanding, and other collaborative activities. •Preserve all records relating to Hayat Yolu, Shariq Siddiqui, MPI, and any related foreign partners, including emails, text messages, calendar entries, contracts, invoices, reimbursement requests, donor records, promotional materials, annual reports, internal vetting materials, and communications with outside organizations. •Suspend any ongoing relationship between IU or any IU-affiliated unit and Hayat Yolu Association, as well as any substantially related entity or intermediary, pending completion of the investigation. •Disclose whether IU or MPI received money, travel support, sponsorships, consulting fees, conference support, lodging, event hosting, or any other thing of value from Hayat Yolu or any affiliated person or entity. •Identify every IU employee, contractor, fellow, or representative who participated in planning, attending, speaking at, or promoting the July 2025 and January 2026 events referenced in the public reporting. •Produce the university’s due-diligence protocols for foreign nonprofit partnerships, particularly in high-risk regions or where terror-financing and sanctions concerns may be implicated, and explain whether those protocols were followed here. •Provide a public accounting of remedial steps, including whether disciplinary action, policy changes, outside review, or referral to law enforcement or relevant federal authorities is warranted. Please provide a written response no later than ten business days from receipt of this letter addressing, at a minimum, the following questions: •Did Indiana University, the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, or MPI knowingly partner with Hayat Yolu Association? •What vetting was conducted before the July 2025 and January 2026 events? •When did university leadership first learn of Treasury’s concerns or any other red flags involving Hayat Yolu? •Did IU or MPI receive any financial or in-kind support from Hayat Yolu or persons acting on its behalf? •Has IU referred this matter to legal counsel, law enforcement, or federal authorities? •What specific corrective action has IU taken since publication of the March 18, 2026 report? Let us be clear: Hoosiers should never have to wonder whether a public university in this state helped train up the fundraising operation of an entity now designated by the federal government as a sham charity for Hamas. If IU has a credible explanation, it should provide it. If IU failed in its responsibilities, it should admit it and fix it. What it must not do is hide behind silence, delay, or bureaucratic word games while the public asks obvious questions and receives none of the answers. We intend to continue reviewing this matter and to pursue whatever oversight is appropriate. We also expect full cooperation from the university and prompt preservation of all relevant evidence. Sincerely, Andrew Ireland State Representative District 90 Garrett Bascom State Representative District 68 Martin Carbaugh State Representative District 81 Matt Commons State Representative District 13 Craig Haggard State Representative District 57 Chris Judy State Representative District 83 Jim Lucas State Representative District 69 J.D. Prescott State Representative District 33

President Trump is the kind of man who will look you in the eye and tell you exactly what he thinks - whether you agree or not, whether you are offended or not. That's rare in Washington, D.C. Very rare.

An article from the 90s explaining how in the 1980s, personal computers changed the dynamic of college vs high school workers. College grads learned how to use PCs and grew wages faster Mind you, this was when interest rates were 15pct, white collar unemployment was the highest it’s been any non covid year, general unemployment was 10pct, there was a recession, 18pct mortgages, and the start of the savings and loan industry collapse. The economy was a mess. Except it was the start of the “digital revolution “ which lead to change. Here we are at the early days of the AI revolution. I think it will be very analogous to what happened back then. If you think learning how to use Clause seems daunting, imagine being 50 yrs old in 1983, not knowing how to type, using a 1.0 key adding machine with a tape roll to do all your work as an analyst and realizing you had to figure out how your brand new IBM PC and lotus 1-2-3 worked. Or having only used a typewriter your entire career , then having to learn the new PC and WordStar. Trust me. WordStar key combinations were far harder to learn than telling Claude what you want done Lots of people couldn’t figure it out. Those who did were more productive Ctrl QA with AI nber.org/digest/sep97/h…

Yes, JCPOA DID allow Iran to build missiles. Previous US sanctions deals forbid it. This sneaky deal took that out. No, there was no express permission to build the missiles in the JCPOA. That's the word game you people play. It simply took the old language out forbidding it. Obama unfroze $100 billion and gave it to Iran, paying for the missiles and nukes to hit us with.

No. I covered the JCPOA at the time. It REMOVED the requirement that Iran never produce missiles. That's why Rubio opposed it at the time, giving a speech in 2015 about how the JCPOA would allow Iran to get missiles they weren't allowed to get before. Then Obama then unfroze $100 billion and sent it to Iran. They used for the nuke & missile creation and to stay in power despite the people's attempts to overthrow them. Obama even sent them pallets of cash ($1.7 billion) in the middle of the night. Biden transferred another $100 billion that kept Iran's brutal mullahs in power and paid for their nuke/missile programs. Trump is cleaning up Obama and Biden's disastrous mess that put 1/3 of the world in terrible danger.
