Are We Witnessing the Collapse of the LGBTQ+ Movement? 
The LGBTQ+ movement, like all ideological movements of its kind, relies on new converts to survive and grow. But data increasingly shows that LGBTQ+ identification is in freefall among young people – perhaps indicating that we are witnessing its collapse in real time. The first rumblings of a cultural shift came earlier this year. A February Gallup poll found that just nine percent of Americans identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender in 2025 – a slight but significant drop from 9.3 percent in 2024.

BREAKING: Court Invalidates Democrats’ 10-1 Congressional Map in Virginia 
“We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia.

Trump blockade squeezing Iran so hard regime may be dumping oil into Gulf, experts say
Satellite images show a 45-square-kilometer slick near Kharg Island as Iran’s export system buckles under U.S. pressure Satellite imagery revealed a massive suspected oil slick spreading near Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export terminal, in what experts say could be evidence that Tehran’s oil infrastructure is buckling under mounting U.S. pressure. The slick, seen in Copernicus Sentinel satellite images between Wednesday and Friday, covered roughly 45 square kilometers west of the island, according to analysts cited by Reuters. The incident is emerging as a potential sign that Trump’s maritime pressure campaign is achieving one of its central objectives: overwhelming Iran’s export system to the point where Tehran can no longer move or store crude fast enough to sustain normal production.

Trump releases previously classified UFO files
President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday released dozens of previously classified files on alleged UFO sightings and alien life to provide what they called “unprecedented transparency” to the American people. The disclosure of the long-sought documents and photos of “unidentified anomalous phenomena” will be followed by future releases as more materials are declassified, the US Defense Department said in a statement. Trump was the latest US president to release reports on UFOs that date back to the 1940s and were first disclosed in the late 1970s. Experts said the batch of around 160 files released on Friday contained new videos of known sightings but gave no conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial life. The files include a 1947 report on “flying discs,” a photo of “unidentified phenomena” taken from the moon’s surface during the Apollo 12 lunar mission in 1969, and a transcript of the Apollo 17 crew describing unidentified objects seen from the moon in 1972.

Rubio Questions Allies’ Support on Iran Following Italy Talks
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Friday and afterwards questioned why allies including Italy were not backing Washington’s efforts to confront Iran and re-open the Strait of Hormuz. “I don’t understand why anybody would not be supportive,” Rubio told reporters, adding that countries needed “something more than just strongly worded statements” if they opposed Iran‘s actions.

Don’t Mess With Texas: Islamists In The Lone Star State Are Overplaying Their Hand
The Islamist advance in America may have just suffered a major setback. We’ve been telling you about the situation in Texas, where we recently saw 48 new mosques built in the span of just 24 months. Folks, this is no coincidence. As Texas goes, so goes the nation. That’s exactly why radical Islamists have established a foothold in the Lone Star State and announced plans to build sprawling Muslim-only communities. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has warned about Islamic Sharia courts operating in the Dallas area. Texas, by the way, seems to be waking up. In March, a statewide proposal to ban Sharia law passed, with 95 percent of voters saying “no” to Islamic law in Texas.

UN Climate Panel Quietly Admits Its Doomsday Climate Scenarios Were ‘Implausible’
The IPCC has published a new generation of climate scenarios – and buried in the fine print is a remarkable concession: the extreme warming pathways that dominated climate research, policy, and media coverage for decades were never actually plausible. It took a while to notice because almost no one in mainstream media bothered to report it. “The IPCC and broader research community has now admitted that the scenarios that have dominated climate research, assessment and policy during the past two cycles of the IPCC assessment process are implausible. They describe impossible futures.”

The Democratic Party Is Dead, Long Live The Jacobins!
For the past century, the agendas of the Democratic Party were predictable. They professed concern for working Americans and supported blue-collar unions. Unemployment insurance, a 40-hour work week, disability insurance, and Social Security were their trademarks—often rapidly achieved by growing government bureaucracies and continually raising taxes. Still, many Democrats were socially conservative. All that is now passé. The only vestigial Democrat left in Congress is Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, himself roundly despised by Democrat leaders. Forty years ago, any Democrat with a Nazi tattoo was political toast; today, he can become the party’s nominee for the Maine Senate race.

Israel was never meant to be a safe haven. It was meant to be a light unto the nations.
When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched Operation Sha’agat HaAri, “The Lion’s Roar”, against Iran, he broke with every standard script Israel has used to explain itself to the world for the past seventy years. He did not merely promise to eliminate the nuclear threat hanging over Israeli cities. He declared, before a watching world: “We will create conditions that will allow the brave Iranian people to throw off the yoke of this murderous regime.” Then he added four words that reverberated far beyond any military briefing room: “This is a campaign for humanity.”

Israel said the attack killed the commander of the Iran-backed terrorist group’s elite Radwan force. Hezbollah, which controls Beirut‘s southern suburbs, has yet to issue any statement on the strike or the commander’s status. “He likely read in the press that he had immunity in Beirut. Well, he read it and it is no longer the case,” Netanyahu said in a statement.
