“It was a constant topic of conversation between then-President Clinton and myself, and the storminess of the Clinton marriage made that relevant.”
"You may remember former Clinton adviser Dick Morris from his many cable news appearances over the years. This week, he appeared on Newsmax and dropped some major dirt about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s marriage problems over the years.
"According to Morris, when Bill Clinton was president, he actually had polling done to see how it would affect him if he divorced Hillary, or if she divorced him. And he did it several times. He apparently felt the need to keep checking the numbers.
"It just confirms what many people have believed for years, that the Clintons basically had a marriage that may have been about love at one point, but which eventually devolved into a relationship of political convenience.
Morris, who advised Clinton for years, as far back as his 1970s gubernatorial campaigns in Arkansas, appeared on Newsmax and dropped a bombshell that has somehow received far too little attention.
When host Rob Finnerty asked Morris to confirm the rumor, the answer was blunt.
“Yes, actually several times,” Morris said. “It was a constant topic of conversation between then-President Clinton and myself, and the storminess of the Clinton marriage made that relevant.” More...

"Let’s be blunt: If you believe you know the exact date of Jesus’ return, or you’re following someone who claims they do, you’re not more spiritual than the rest of the Church.
"You’re probably in a cult.
"And I don’t mean that flippantly. I mean you’re caught in a high-control belief system built around private revelation, failed prophecies, and spiritual manipulation. It may feel like passionate faith, but it’s disconnected from Scripture, church history, and sound doctrine.
If your first response is, “Yeah, but this time it’s different…” That’s what every cult thinks, including the ones that are now barely footnotes in history.
Jesus Was Explicit: You Don’t Know the Day"No riddles. No numeric codes. No feast-day theories. No algorithms.
“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” – Matthew 24:36 (LSB)
"Jesus didn’t say, “No one knows yet.” He said, “No one knows.”
"He didn’t say, “You’ll be able to calculate it if you’re really watching.” He said even the angels don’t know.
"In Acts 1:6–7, the disciples ask the resurrected Christ if the kingdom will be restored at that time. Jesus replies:
“It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set by His own authority.”
"That should have settled it. But many people today, like cult leaders and date-setters of the past, are functionally saying, “Actually, it is for us to know.”
"That’s not discernment. That’s defiance.

"Forget covering protests — some reporters think they should be the ones making the ruckus.
"A group of over 250 journalists implored members of the Beltway press corps to “forcefully demonstrate opposition” to President Trump at the ritzy White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.
"Trump, 79, is set to attend the swanky dinner for the first time in his presidency. But the group of 250 reporters is demanding that the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) ensure he doesn’t feel welcome.
"We believe the White House Correspondents Association should take stronger action by issuing — from the podium — a forceful defense of freedom of the press and condemnation of those who threaten that freedom, followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment,” the letter to members of the WHCA said.
"“Speak forcefully, in front of the man who seeks to undermine our country’s long tradition of an independent, strong, and free press.”
"The WHCA, which represents the White House press corps, is organizing the annual dinner and has clashed with Trump repeatedly over the past year.
"Early last year, the White House press team began meddling in the pool rotation, in which outlets take turns getting special access to the president to share their notes and footage with everyone else.
"Historically, the WHCA has set the pool rotation. Notably, the White House has left the WHCA in charge of determining outlet seat locations in the press briefing room." . . . More...

"Israelis woke at 8:30 AM on Saturday to the sound of a nationwide siren. There was no imminent threat.

"Thirty hours later, by the close of Sunday evening, Israel’s “Operation Roaring Lion” had decimated Iran’s missile and air defense systems, taken out top Iranian military and government officials, including the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and had established air superiority over Tehran. But not without fatal collateral at home. (RELATED: The Line That Held on Iran)
"The opening “Genesis” waves of Roaring Lion on Saturday morning included about 200 Israeli fighter jets carrying out the largest military flyover in Israeli Air Force history, dropping hundreds of munitions on military targets in western Iran. The operation was carried out jointly with the U.S. military. Israeli forces focused on targeting Iranian missile storage, production, and launch sites and air defense systems, while the U.S. targeted Iran’s nuclear program facilities and the headquarters and command centers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Ayatollah’s regime.
"The attack came on the heels of stalled talks between the U.S. and Iran, after Iran refused to agree to U.S. President Trump’s terms to dismantle its nuclear program, limit ballistic missile capabilities, and abandon its sponsorship of terrorist proxy groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. Since the so-called 12-Day war last June, Iran continued to advance and conceal its remaining nuclear assets, rehabilitate its missile arsenal (with the help of Russia and China), and finance, train, and arm regional proxies." . . .More...
"How did the American Navy end up firing upon an Iranian container ship navigating the Gulf of Oman?
It began with a standoff, as the Navy delivered repeated warnings over a span of several hours.
The final escalation came when multiple rounds were fired into the massive ship, instantly disabling its engines and triggering an internal fire.
But how is a modern naval gun capable of firing three explosive rounds in mere seconds?
The secret lies below deck: an advanced autoloader backed by a nearly endless magazine of ammunition.
Watch how it operates: the system mechanically loads the artillery, fires, and immediately ejects the spent casing.
This brings us to the ultimate question: how do military forces physically seize a colossal container ship
The Navy relies on the Marines.
Deployed from amphibious ships, they rappel down from hovering helicopters to systematically secure and clear the decks."
. . . "I, for one, would love to see this war wrapped up … as long as our terms are fully met. The problem, as I and others have stated before, is that nothing the Iranians in power say or agree to, whoever they may be at the moment, can ever be trusted. Ever. No ceasefire. No truce. No pact. No promise. No solemn vow. Radical Islamists will always use these peace instruments to their advantage."
The Navy Channel"The US Navy has escalated tensions in the Middle East after attacking and seizing an Iranian cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz. In this video, we break down the full operation involving the USS Spruance (DDG-111), US Marines, and the growing US naval presence in the region.
"This incident marks a major turning point in the ongoing geopolitics of the region, as the US enforces a maritime blockade against Iran. We analyze what happened during the interception of the vessel Touska, how US warships operate in the Strait of Hormuz, and what this could mean for a potential US war with Iran.
"We also cover the arrival of major US naval reinforcements, including carrier strike groups, destroyers, and mine warfare units, highlighting the increasing importance of demining and US mine clearance operations in the Strait of Hormuz.
"With rising tensions, attacks on commercial shipping, and a growing US military buildup, this situation could have global consequences for energy markets, security, and international trade." . . .

"Those words carry enormous weight coming from a warrior who gave his life in service to the nation. Master Sgt. Simmons knew the real threats on the ground and in the intelligence briefings — the kind of information the American public rarely sees. He understood that much of the loud criticism from the media and political class comes from people who don’t have the full picture and never will.". . .

Trump"
Talk of a “grand bargain” with Iran revives a failed playbook of concessions and deception that history shows only strengthens Tehran’s regime.
"Both the president and vice president have thrown out the term “grand bargain” in recent days to describe their aspirations for a deal with the Iranian rump regime.
"It’s a term fraught with past failures that screams Iranian deception, not the interests of America First.
"Bill Clinton was the first to use the phrase toward the end of his second term to describe his aspiration to end a low-intensity conflict that had been simmering for 20 years.
"Heappointed David R. Andrewsas “Special Negotiator” for the mostly secret talks. Just as today, among the top Iranian demands was for the US to lift economic sanctions, which at the time included a total US trade embargo, secondary sanctions on foreign oil and gas companies investing in Iran, and the release of Iranian funds held by the US Treasury.
"Those Treasury funds were a carefully kept secret. At the time, I was engaged as a consultant to attorneys representing Stephen Flatow, whose daughter Elyssa had been murdered by Iranian-backed terrorists in Israel in 1996.
"We queried the Treasury Department about the existence of Iranian funds frozen since the 1979 revolution to pay for the Shah’s weapons purchases from the US, and were told such a fund did not exist.
"And then, lo and behold, in late 2000, the Justice Department found that the Treasury had simply destroyed all the documents. Clinton eventually released the funds—not to the Iranians, for the talks had by then collapsed—but to the Iranian regime’s US victims.
"Obama later claimed he was releasing the same frozen funds when he sent pallets of cash totaling $1.7 billion to Iran in 2016. And yes, those payments were another attempt at reaching a “grand bargain” with Iran." . . .
. . . "Such a deal must include ironclad guarantees for the Iranian people that the regime will not use violence against peaceful protestors and, if it does, that it will face US military reprisals. After all, Donald Trump is leaving office in January 2029, and we will never have another president like him. We don’t want to have to repeat this war in another 10 years." . . .
Because if Democrats win, relations with terrorist states will be run by the same airheads dealing with them the past few decades, giving preference to those who call for death to allies that have stood by our nation for generations. Israel has been forced to dominate her enemies since we keep replacing competent leaders with feckless Democrats like Biden, Kamala, Obama, and anybody you may see refusing to stand at any Republican SOTU.

"There’s endless, ongoing debate over whether bodegas are unique to New York City, or if they’re simply corner stores by another name. Bodega-like stores can certainly be found all over the country, and NYC doesn’t claim a monopoly on them. Regardless, whether you think bodegas are truly one-of-a-kind or just another convenience mart, New Yorkers love them anyway — and they’re here to stay." StreetEasy Blog
"This book documents them. The cats that bring in revenue, like Jimmy of Second Avenue, who runs his block like a seasoned manager. The territorial ones who clear basements in three days flat. The quiet constants who outlast owners, workers, and neighborhood turnover."
"“How does the mayor know what this will really cost? Does he understand the slim margins under which small grocers function?” Hank Sheinkopf, a veteran Democratic political strategist, told The Hill.
" 'This is charisma in action paid for by others,” he added.
"Mamdani’s plan, which still needs to be approved by the City Council, would cost roughly $70 million — $30 million of which would be designated for the 9,000-square-foot store on 115th Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan.
"New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin did not say whether she plans to back Mamdani’s proposal, but her spokesperson said she looks forward to reviewing the plan and “assessing its potential impacts on consumers and local small businesses, including bodegas.” . . .
What is a bodega? And why do New Yorkers love them? . . . "Bodegas are a New York City institution. These small corner grocery stores offer convenience and local charm to nearly every NYC neighborhood, and they share similarities that go beyond cereal offerings. For nearly a century, New Yorkers have loved bodegas for their convenience, reliability, community-oriented nature, and cats…yes, cats. But if you’re new to the city, you may need an explainer to help you appreciate bodegas and what they’re all about.
"So for all the fresh or aspiring New Yorkers — and locals who still don’tquiteunderstand — let’s talk about bodegas and what makes them special."
. . . ""This is the way to do it," Mamdani said. "Sure, capitalism gets people goods cheaply and quickly, but it's at the expense of someone making a profit, which I just can't stand. So get in line for that sweet, sweet bread we'll eventually offer someday. While I can't guarantee you getting in line now means three years from now you'll definitely get bread, I can guarantee no capitalist will profit off you."
"When questioned why his supermarket was going to cost way more than the average supermarket but also take longer to build, Mamdani chuckled, "I bet you're all thinking those millions will go to graft and cronies.
"Reporters waited for a "but." It never came.
"At publishing time, Mamdani had gone to the already-forming bread line at the future site of the market for a photo op." . . .
Mamdani’s revolution runs into hard reality . . . "On top of the poor policy decisions thus far, the new mayor has additionally surrounded himself with a collection of extremists and other sordid people.
"Some of these radicals are serving in an official capacity, like his Marxist housing czar Cea Weaver, who publicly dreamed about impoverishing white, middle-class homeowners. The city’s new racial equity plan hardly dispels the notion that this is Mamdani’s goal too.
"Mamdani invited anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil to the governor’s mansion for Ramadan. The Syrian-born Khalil faces deportation by the Trump administration, which has accused him of being a Hamas supporter.
"That’s hardly surprising given that Mamdani’s wife has a growing record of supporting antisemites and pro-Palestinian terrorists on social media. Mamdani insists she is a “private person.”
"One way or another, it suggests that Mamdani has no desire to moderate or “normalize” in his time as mayor." . . .
