US stepping back from peace talks role to end war between Russia and Ukraine: State Department official

By Patrick Reilly | New York Post The US is stepping back from its involvement in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine to end the war, a State Department official signaled Thursday. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters that the US “will not be the mediators” going forward, reflecting President Trump’s frustration at the lack of progress between Kyiv and Moscow in ending the bloodshed. “We are not going to fly around the world at the drop of a hat to mediate meetings,” she said, adding that the US remains committed to helping reach a deal.

Trump cuts federal funding for NPR and PBS over ‘biased’ coverage

By Jack Birle | Washington Examiner President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday night cutting federal funding for NPR and PBS, decrying both outlets for their allegedly “biased” coverage. The president’s order calls on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to “cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding” to NPR and PBS. It also notes that the “heads of all agencies shall identify and terminate, to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, any direct or indirect funding of NPR and PBS.” In his order, Trump said the CPB should “fund only fair, accurate, unbiased, and nonpartisan news coverage” and that NPR and PBS do not fit that standard. “The CPB fails to abide ...

Trump says he’ll strip Harvard of tax-exempt status

By Julia Mueller | The Hill President Trump on Friday announced plans to strip Harvard University of its tax-exempt status, escalating his feud with the Ivy League school.  “We are going to be taking away Harvard’s Tax Exempt Status. It’s what they deserve!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The declaration comes after his administration reportedly asked the IRS to revoke Harvard’s status last month, after Trump had suggested the idea on social media. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL

U.S. added 177,000 jobs in April, better than expected, as economy defies doomsayers

By John Carney | Breitbart Employers in the United States added 177,000 workers to their payrolls in April, the Department of Labor said Friday, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2 percent, defying predictions of labor market sluggishness following President Trump’s announcement of tariffs. Economists had been expecting 130,000 jobs and an unemployment rate unchanged at 4.2 percent. The prior month’s jobs figure was revised down to 185,000 from 228,000. The strength in hiring came from the private sector, which added 167,000 jobs. Economists had expected private employers to add just 125,000 workers. This was nearly unchanged from the downwardly revised 170,000 jobs added in March. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Amid rumors that Mike Waltz was fired, Trump gives him another top admin post

By  Virginia Kruta | Daily Wire Just hours after multiple outlets reported that Mike Waltz was preparing to leave his position in President Donald Trump’s administration — as National Security Adviser — Trump announced that the former Florida Congressman and Green Beret veteran was being appointed to represent the United States at the United Nations. “I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations. From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation’s Interests first,” Trump posted via his Truth Social platform early Thursday afternoon. “I know he will do the same in his new role. In the interim, Secretary of State Mar...

Gazette editorial board: Sanctuary policies cost Denver taxpayers—again

The Gazette editorial board | Denver Gazette Say what you will about the Trump administration, but give it credit for sparing U.S. taxpayers from bailing out cities whose sanctuary policies made them magnets for illegal immigration. The fact that Denver is among those cities isn’t Washington’s fault. It’s Mayor Mike Johnston’s. And the fact that Denver now likely won’t be reimbursed some or all of $32 million it had forced local taxpayers to pony up in welcoming the latest wave of illegal immigrants, as reported by The Gazette, is Johnston’s comeuppance. It’s also Denver taxpayers’ loss. The Mile High mayor who showboated before a congressional panel in Washington last March — and sanctimoniously pronounced, “… Denver made a choice as a city not to hate each other but to help e...

Federal mandates, real costs: EPA’s gas policy hits Coloradans at the pump

By Michael Booth | The Colorado Sun The future of Colorado’s ozone-fighting reformulated gasoline is getting a lot more complicated this spring.  To recap:  The Front Range creates so much toxic ozone that we blew through EPA limits a long time ago. One sanction the EPA gave us for these “severe” violations is that in summer months, we must buy “reformulated gas,” or RFG, that creates less ozone-causing vapor.  Oil companies and Gov. Jared Polis say the benefits of RFG in fighting ozone are minimal, and the refining process costs consumers up to 50 cents more a gallon.  The EPA said no, the extra cost is only a few cents a gallon. Plus, the EPA said, while Suncor controls 40% of the gasoline market here, other gasoline companies would expand their RFG pipelines and ...

HHS report finds no strong evidence supporting ‘Gender-affirming care’ effectiveness

By Abigail Anthony | National Review There is not strong evidence that “gender-affirming care” for minors is effective for treating gender dysphoria or improving mental health, according to a report issued on Thursday by the Department of Health and Human Services, based on a review of existing literature. The researchers found that existing studies suffer from bias and methodological errors, while the literature also fails to appropriately consider potential “harms” such as the loss of sexual function. "The 'gender-affirming' model of care includes irreversible endocrine and surgical interventions on minors with no physical pathology," reads the report's foreword. "These interventions carry risk of significant harms including infertility/sterility, sexual READ T...

Dem congressman calling for Trump’s impeachment once accused of indescribable act involving 118 beagles in his pharmaceutical lab

By Emily Crane | New York Post What a hound. A Democratic congressman who is currently trying to impeach President Trump was once accused of abandoning 118 beagles inside his pharmaceutical testing lab when it went bankrupt. Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), who announced Monday he had filed seven articles of impeachment against Trump, was forced to shutter the New Jersey lab, AniClin Preclinical Services, when the parent company that he owned filed for bankruptcy in April 2010. Several months later, animal activists became aware that the hounds were still stuck inside the since-abandoned facility, HuffPost reported at the time. Lab workers had allegedly been jumping the facility’s fences to give the beagles food and water.The scores of dogs were eventually rescued fro...
