🚨Undercover video obtained exclusively by Townhall Media reveals that “independent” candidate Dan Osborn hoping to unseat incumbent Republican U.S. Sen.

Tom Homan SHUTS DOWN speculation these ICE-involved shootings are occurring because agents lack proper training: "The officers involved in these shootings are well-trained. They're not apart of that new hires [...] I asked ICE to give me the training curriculum for the academy. There's extensive vehicle-stop training, much like Border Patrol has."

Border Czar Tom Homan speaks out on the decision for ICE to scale back vehicle stops: "It's not a policy change, it's a temporary pause [...] I think it's gonna be a short pause and I'm confident ICE is well-trained in vehicle stops and you're gonna see us keep moving forward [...] Let me say this too, I hear a lot of noise, this is going to affect ICE arrests, and it's not going to [...] We know vehicle assaults are up 3,400 percent. So, if we can arrest that alien outside that vehicle and take that two ton weapon away from them, that's good in some instances."

Trump on the state of the Middle East: "The Middle East, believe it or not, is coming together. We're getting rid of the bully of the Middle East." "There was fear all over the Middle East [...] But there's no fear anymore because their [Iran's] military capability has been knocked to hell."

President Trump teases his Thursday night address: "It's really, big news. It's really, REALLY BIG news" "It doesn't get bigger." 👀

President Trump explains why he changed course on the Strait of Hormuz: "It was never fair to me that we would be guarding the Strait, when we basically don’t need the oil at all [...] It was important for allies, it was important for people that we get along with very well, including the major Gulf state countries [...]  The Gulf states are going to invest a tremendous amount of money into the United States, and that was very satisfactory to me. I think it’s actually much better."

@townhall’s Senior Washington correspondent @cameron_arcand’s question to Trump made the rounds so to speak 😎🥃🥃

Winning. 🇺🇸 @townhallcom

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi arrives at the White House and is greeted by President Trump.

President @realDonaldTrump isn’t just a leader, he’s a force of nature who transformed America, shattered the corrupt establishment, survived endless witch hunts, impeachments, lawfare, and an assassin’s bullet, then roared back to deliver the greatest political comeback in history. As Palm Beach’s own, he built real jobs, defended our values, and inspired everyday Americans like me to stand up and serve. That’s why I proudly sponsored renaming our airport President Donald J. Trump International Airport. We honor giants while they’re still fighting for us. DJT forever, thank you, Mr. President! 🇺🇸✈️ Read more in @townhallcom: townhall.com/columnists/meg…

Unearthed: Democrat PA-08 candidate Mayor Paige Cognetti claims that the United States occupies "stolen land" in University of Scranton lecture from October 2020.

Trump said U.S. will “take care of it in short order” when I asked about Iranian drones concerns. Also asked about his address on Thursday night, but details are mostly under wraps as of now. @townhallcom

Nancy Pelosi is throwing a ritzy D.C. fundraiser tonight for her fellow inside-stock trader, Elaine Luria... Washington insiders looking out for Washington insiders. While serving in Congress, Elaine Luria made over $20 million dollars through insider stock trading and her net worth increased almost 2,000%. Virginians can't afford to go back to that kind of corruption...!

I asked Trump about Cuba ⬇️

NEW: Trump on Iran's nuclear facility Pickaxe Mountain "We’re watching it closely. We see no activity there. They’re not doing well with their nuclear situation […] but we’ll probably give Pickaxe Mountain a shot relatively soon."

Trump calls the Iranian regime "cuckoo": "These people are crazy […] To them, deals are made to be broken. They are extremely unreliable people — and, frankly, if they ever had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it within one day."

Trump on Iran: "We're going to hit them very hard tonight and we're going to hit them hard tomorrow, and there's not a damn thing they can do about it. They have nothing. They have nothing going other than they have big mouths."

Darline Graham Nordone on becoming interim senator: "I think this is what Lindsey would've wanted and I plan to honor him in this way. Now to Lindsey: I miss you more than I can even put into words. But I'm gonna do this. I got it."
