The price and pieces of peace: How Trump’s approach worked where others failed

By Victor Davis Hanson | Commentary, American Greatness Trump’s unorthodox mix of pressure, power, and pragmatism shattered old diplomatic molds—delivering a rare moment of calm to the world’s most combustible region. What did Donald Trump do differently to obtain at least temporary calm in the Middle East compared to the failed efforts of past administrations, foreign powers, and the United Nations? Let us count ten different approaches. 1. Trump curtailed a considerable amount of Iranian oil income and its dispersal. He stopped, for the near future, the Iranian effort to build a bomb. Trump also allowed Israel to destroy Tehran’s air defenses, humiliate it militarily, and eliminate many of its top military officers and nuclear physicists. Thus, Israel’s half-century-long worries...

Time to cut ties: Americans back President Trump’s push to defund the UN

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, Rasmussen Reports President Trump’s blunt assessment of the United Nations during his September 23 address wasn’t just political theater. It reflected the growing frustration many Americans feel toward a bloated, ineffective, and increasingly hostile international organization. In his speech, Trump declared, “The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them, and not finance them.” According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, 60% of U.S. voters agree, including 43% who strongly agree. That’s not a fringe view – that’s the voice of the American mainstream. The United Nations, established in 1945 to promote peace and cooperation among nations, has instead become a symbol of globalist overreach and institutional rot. From its failure to prevent ...

Trump Praised Worldwide as Israel and Hamas Strike Historic Peace Agreement

By: Tim Pearce | The Daily Wire “I thank President Trump for his leadership, his partnership, and his unwavering commitment to the safety of Israel and the freedom of our hostages.” Praise for President Donald Trump has started to roll in after Hamas and Israel announced that they have agreed to the first phase of the peace plan to end the war in Gaza and potentially create a path to a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the first to credit Trump for the plan’s framework that Hamas and Israeli negotiators had just reached an agreement on. “Through steadfast resolve, powerful military action, and the great efforts of our great friend and ally President Trump, we have reached this critical turning point,” Netanyahu posted on X. “I thank Preside...

Two years later: Evidence shows U.S. and Israel missed warning signs before Oct. 7 Hamas attack

By Steven Richards | Just the News The Pentagon on Biden's watch confirmed that the U.S. was "not aware" of the terrorist group’s plan to attack Israeli civilians, despite the prior warning signs in the months and years before the murderous plan. Two years after the deadly terrorist attack on Israel by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, the prospects for peace, by the account of the U.S. President Donald Trump and a coterie of Arab states, seem higher than ever.  But, a key question about the spark that ignited the conflict remains unanswered: How did U.S. intelligence miss the warning signs of an imminent attack by Hamas? In the days before the killers spilled over the Gaza border in cars and skydiving to invade Israeli villages for the purposes of raping and mutilating ci...

Hamas Faces Historic Choice as Trump Pushes Middle East Peace Deal

By Amanda Head | Just the News "It must be done," said Israeli PM Netanyahu. The ball is now in Hamas' court, but there's a plan to move forward even if Hamas does not agree. On Monday, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a peace plan to end their conflict with Gaza. Hamas must now agree to the terms.  "This can be done the easy way or the hard way, but it must be done," Netanyahu said in a statement to the press at the White House. The plan received praise from Republican members of Congress, but also from unexpected sources like the Palestinian government, which serves as the bureaucratic arm of Gaza governance. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wisc., told Just The News, "Think about when President Trump went to the Arabic cou...

Trump Calls Out UN Failures in Fiery Speech Against Globalism

By Just the News staff | Just the News Representatives from several nations met in New York ahead of the Tuesday event as part of a summit to reaffirm support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Nations supporting the idea have yet to explain how it would work. President Donald Trump’s Tuesday speech to the United Nations General Assembly saw him excoriate the international body as ineffective and forecast Washington putting more distance between itself and the UN. Trump accused the United Nations of leaving the job of peacekeeping to him, highlighting the many global conflicts that he resolved in the first seven months of his presidency. Among those, Trump managed to speedily resolve conflicts between India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Rwanda a...

State Department Warns Foreigners Who Promote Violence Are Not Welcome in America

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News The State Department said that "foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome" to the U.S., following the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk. "In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau posted on X on Thursday. "I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action. Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people." ...

Biden or Putin: Who poses the greater danger to the world?

By Bill O’Reilly | Commentary, BillOReilly.com My old Fox News teammate Tucker Carlson garnered some attention last week when he told commentator Michael Knowles that he believes Joe Biden is more “evil” than Vladimir Putin. Wow. My new book, “Confronting Evil,” will be out September 9, and Putin is on the cover along with Mao, Hitler, and the Ayatollah Khomeini.  No Joe. A dozen more horrendous miscreants are analyzed inside the book. So, Mr. Carlson’s opinion caught my attention.  Let’s run it down. Tucker Carlson is perhaps the best media marketer in the country.  He’s smart and, very early on, perfected the art of getting attention. Very similar to Donald Trump. In this age of unrestrained social media, provocative statements can ...

A Strong America Requires Strong Factories

By Riley Moore | Commentary, The Blaze America’s hollowed industrial base is our greatest vulnerability — and China’s greatest advantage. We can fix it. Our country is standing at a crossroads. Neither the world nor America’s place in it is what it was a generation ago. The unipolar moment is over. And yet, many in the Republican Party seek to claim the mantle of America First while continuing the same failed adventurism of the past. National conservatism as a movement agrees that these people and ideas must be stopped. But we have failed to check their influence in the party largely because we have not offered an alternative that both meets the real threats to American security and balances national interest, the deterrent effect, industrial capability, and political will. ...

Trump’s approval soars to 54 percent after Putin summit in Alaska

By Olivia Rondeau | Breitbart News President Donald Trump’s voter approval rating surged to 54 percent following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. An InsiderAdvantage survey conducted over the weekend found that Trump “now has an advantage among every age group other than the most senior of voters,” and improved his numbers among black (23.7) and Hispanic voters (47.2). White voters are at a near-record high approval with 64 percent. Over half of independents (50.4) are approving of Trump, while the vast majority of Republicans (92) and 17.9 percent of Democrats said the same.  The poll found that 44 percent of voters disapprove of Trump, giving him a net +10 percent approval rating.
