Trump Administration Taps Global Oil Reserves And U.S. Production To Steady Markets

By: Anthony Iafrate | The Daily Signal THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Secretary of Energy Chris Wright stated during a “Meet The Press” interview Sunday that the U.S. is taking several actions—including increasing oil production in deep blue California—to mitigate rising fuel costs due to the conflict in Iran. After the military strikes of Operation Epic Fury began Feb. 28, Iran sought to block U.S. transport vessels from passing though the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway separating the country from the Gulf States through which an estimated 20% of the world’s oil demand usually flows. The reduction in shipping volume has led to the surge of oil prices in the following weeks. “We have done many, many act...

Palantir CEO Says AI Could Shift Economic Power Toward Working Class Voters

By Ben Kew | The Gateway Pundit Palantir CEO Alex Karp has said that artificial intelligence (AI) could shift economic influence away from highly educated voters who tend to support Democrats and toward vocationally trained, working-class men. In an interview with CNBC, Karp discussed the broader societal impact of artificial intelligence and how it is expected to transform employment. “This technology disrupts humanities-trained, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less.” “And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, uh voters,” Karp said. “So these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society,” he said.

Tracking the Iran conflict: A Colorado veteran’s daily sitrep from day 10 onward

By Kennesaw | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As a USAF ELINT veteran, I have always anchored my compass in Bible truth and the Founders' original intent on liberty first, peace through strength, and no endless entanglements. That is why I am tracking the Iran conflict: to provide daily situation report (sitrep) briefings on the Iran conflict, pulling from open-sourced and verified intelligence like CENTCOM feeds, satellite imagery, and cross-checked reports. No legacy media spin, no "both-sides" relativism—just raw, evidence-grounded truth that cuts through the noise. For Coloradans, from our tech-savvy hubs in Boulder to the resilient communities in the Rockies, this matters. Our state hosts critical defense assets like NORAD and plays a role in energy ...

Trump Taps Oklahoma Sen Markwayne Mullin To Lead Homeland Security

By Virginia Allen | The Daily Signal Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin said he was “humbled” to be President Donald Trump’s nominee as the next homeland security secretary, replacing Kristi Noem. “Humbling,” Mullin told press when asked of his first reaction to his nomination. “I had to call my dad … because it happened quick. I had to call my wife,” Mullin said, adding, “It’s just, you know, pretty humbling when you start thinking about it: A little kid from Westville, Oklahoma, gets to serve in the president’s Cabinet. That’s pretty neat.” When Mullin is confirmed, he says his priority will be to enforce the laws Congress has passed. “My focus is to keep the homeland secure. That’s going to be my focus, and we’re super excited about this op...

China Scrambles As U.S Israeli Strike On Iran Upends Xi’s Middle East Strategy

By: Zineb Riboua | National Review The U.S.–Israeli military campaign has created palpable problems for China. The men in Zhongnanhai do not rattle easily. Decades of patient statecraft, a foreign policy built on studied ambiguity, and an economy engineered to absorb external shocks have granted Beijing’s leadership a remarkable tolerance for turbulence. Operation Epic Fury, the U.S.–Israeli military campaign now dismantling Iran’s military architecture, has produced something unusual in the corridors of Chinese power: visible confusion. Xi Jinping is scrambling — and that word is not used lightly. For a leader who has built his image on strategic composure and long-horizon thinking, Xi faces an acutely dangerous moment — not because China faces a direct military thr...

Trump Strike On Iran Exposes Deep Divide Inside Foreign Policy Establishment

By Jennica Pounds | Commentary, The American Mind Operation Epic Fury and the collapse of the multilateral myth. t first glance, it seems that the Western establishment should welcome Operation Epic Fury. As Joshua Lisec and I document in our upcoming book, Unelected, the entire post-World War II order has been built on the premise that global security depends on the spread of democracy (or the downfall of tyrants at the very least). As United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan said in a 2001 speech, there is “a need for more democracy on the global level, which is what the United Nations has been about from the very beginning.” The global order is no fan of Iran. Atlantic writer and former National Endowment for Democracy board member Anne Appl...

Why Iran Matters to Every Single American

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice There are Americans right now screaming, “Why are we in Iran? This isn’t our fight.” Let’s slow that down. What’s unfolding in the Middle East isn’t a foreign skirmish on a map most people can’t read. It’s a defining moment for American security, American prosperity, and American credibility — and it affects every one of us, whether we’re paying attention or not. This Didn’t Start in Tehran Before Operation Epic Fury, the Trump administration removed Nicolás Maduro from power in Venezuela — not with a strongly worded letter or another round of sanctions, but with decisive action and the kind of political will Washington hadn’t shown in decades. Maduro had turned Venezuela into a narco-state actively poiso...

Chinese Propaganda Machine Elevates Anti-War Protests Following US Strikes On Iran

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News China helps promote astroturfed far-left protests against the U.S. strikes on Iran through a financial network in league with infamous radical-left financier and multi-millionaire Neville Roy Singham. China has a lot at stake in the outcome of the conflict. Chinese state-run propaganda outlets are promoting U.S. protests against the Trump Administration’s strikes against the Iranian regime, with the protests being organized by a Chinese Communist Party-linked financial network in the United States. Immediately after the start of this weekend’s U.S. military-led operation striking Iranian leadership and military sites, street protests opposing the conflict with Iran were quickly organized in New York City and nationwide by the the lef...

Colorado Lawmakers Split on Iran

By Thelma Grimes | Colorado Politics Colorado’s congressional delegation split sharply along party lines Saturday after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, triggering a fresh debate in America over presidential war powers. Trump announced early Saturday morning that U.S and Israeli forces had begun “Operation Epic Fury” after multiple explosions were reported around Iran. Later in the day, the president said that Iran’s leader, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed. Iranian state media also confirmed Khamenei’s death. Both sides of the political aisle agree that Iran — one official called the country a “terrorist state” — should never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. But Democrats and Republicans clashed over the latest operations, just ...
