At the White House Women’s History Month event, Donald Trump tried to turn a routine tribute into a moment of defiance. Praising women as “so powerful and so important and so beautiful,” he announced he was using a word he’s “not allowed” to say, joking that calling a woman “beautiful” is supposed to end a […]

As more than a thousand tankers sit trapped near Hormuz and crude surges past $100, the stakes reach far beyond distant shipping lanes. Every cent added at the pump hits households, businesses, and fragile economies already stretched thin. Iran’s partial closure of the strait, backed by mines and threats against U.S.-linked vessels, has turned a

Conan O’Brien walked onto the Oscars stage with the easy charm of a veteran host, but beneath the jokes was a razor. After skewering Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over the Epstein scandal, he shifted his aim toward Donald Trump and the president’s controversial move to rename Washington’s Kennedy Center after himself. The setup felt playful; the punchline

Trump’s message lands at a moment when every dollar at the gas pump feels like proof that the crisis is no longer “over there.” With mines in the water, tankers stalled, and Tehran threatening any vessel tied to Washington or its partners, the Strait of Hormuz is no longer just a strategic map point. It

What makes this moment feel so volatile is how nakedly self-aware the project appears to be. Fincher isn’t crafting a safe vehicle for a tarnished star; he’s constructing a pressure chamber. Under his gaze, Baldwin’s performance won’t just be judged on craft, but on perceived sincerity—on whether audiences sense reckoning or manipulation in every close-up.

What began as a “decisive” U.S.-Israeli air campaign against Iran has mutated into something far more unstable: a regional conflict wrapped in the language of spectacle. Precision strikes shattered command centers and possibly killed Ayatollah Khamenei, but they also fractured the thin membrane holding Iran’s political order together. In response, Iran has widened the map

This case isn’t just about one man’s conduct after an election; it’s about whether the guardrails of American democracy still work when pushed to the breaking point. Prosecutors say the lies were deliberate, the pressure calculated, the schemes designed to turn doubt into power. The defense will insist it was all political speech, fueled by

A bump on a crowded Penn Station platform became the spark for a deadly confrontation, leaving a 55-year-old man lifeless after a single alleged punch and a city wondering how ordinary moments turn fatal. As investigators wait for the medical examiner’s report and weigh further charges against 21-year-old Nassadir Tate, the case lands in a

The fight over the SAVE America Act is no longer a narrow policy dispute; it has become a raw test of trust between the public and the political class. On one side are polls showing overwhelming support for voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements, cutting across race and party. On the other are Democratic lawmakers nearly

John L. Rafferty Jr.’s promotion to lieutenant general and command of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command crowns more than 33 years spent at the intersection of artillery, strategy, and emerging technology. From leading the 56th Artillery Command in Europe-Africa to directing Long Range Precision Fires at Fort Sill, his career has steadily
