Trump Calls Iran Peace Proposal Response ‘Totally Unacceptable’
President Donald Trump on Sunday expressed his frustration with Iran’s response to a US peace proposal to end the war between the two nations.
‘Playing Games For 47 Years’: “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘representatives.’ I don’t like it – totally unacceptable,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. In an earlier post, he lashed out at Iran for delaying the process. “Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the world, for 47 years (delay, delay, delay), and then finally hit ‘pay dirt’ when Barack Hussein Obama became president. He was not only good to them, he was great, actually going to their side, jettisoning Israel, and all other allies, and giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life,” he wrote. “For 47 years the Iranians have been ‘tapping’ us along, keeping us waiting, killing our people with their roadside bombs, destroying protests, and recently wiping out 42,000 innocent, unarmed protestors, and laughing at our now great again country. They will be laughing no longer.” Related: Who’s running Iran? Confusion and chaos in the Middle East...

Netanyahu: Time to End US Financial Support of Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the time is ripe to end the long-standing financial support of Israel by the United States.
‘Draw Down to Zero’: “I want to draw down to zero the American financial support – the financial component of the military cooperation that we have – because we receive $3.8 billion per year. And I think it’s time we weaned ourselves from the remaining military support,” Netanyahu told CBS News in an interview that aired Sunday. When asked what the timeline was for such a move, Netanyahu replied, “Let’s start now and do it over the next decade.” Related: Israel and Lebanon extend ceasefire – but what of the US and Iran?

Trump Vows to Field ‘Election Integrity Army’ For Midterms
President Donald Trump on Sunday promised Republicans will amass an “election integrity army” to act in all 50 states during the crucial midterm elections this November.
‘This Election Will Be Fair’: “[Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer [D-NY] is hiring Eric Holder, famous for handing guns to Mexican cartels under the Barack Hussein Obama administration, as part of a Democrat-led ‘Election Integrity Group’ that will no doubt try to suppress Republican voters, and interfere in our elections,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “The Democrats are totally unhinged and we will not allow them to threaten the integrity of our elections. During my historic election in 2024, when I won every single swing state, and decisively won both the electoral and popular votes by wide margins, the Republicans had an Election Integrity Army in every single state to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote. We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger. All Americans should have their voices be heard by casting a vote. Be assured this election will be fair!” Related: Democrats eye a Senate midterm comeback – but it’s a steep climb...

Energy Sec Wright: Good Chance Gas Under $3 a Gallon By Summer
Energy Secretary Chris Wright is hopeful Americans will get a break at the pump this summer.
‘Avoiding Price Predictions’: “Are you confident that gas will be back under $3 a gallon by the busy summer travel season?” Wright was asked in an interview with NBC News Sunday. “There’s a very good chance that’ll be true. You know, there’s no guarantees in war, the time frame’s still not entirely clear. But I think that’s certainly a goal of the administration, and very possible,” he replied. “I’m just avoiding price predictions. But I will say the United States is in a tremendous position. We’re by far the world’s largest producer of oil. We’re by far the world’s largest producer of natural gas,” he added. “There’s been no rise in the price of natural gas. That’s the largest primary energy source for the United States, that’s for home heating, that’s for electricity. Gasoline, diesel prices are up, and they will remain up while this [Iran] conflict’s in place, and then they will come back down. And ultimately they’ll come back down lower than they were before.” Related: The world is begging for America’s oil...

Hegseth Blasts Mark Kelly For ‘Blabbing’ About Arms Stockpiles
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sunday suggested Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) may have violated his oath of office with comments he made to CBS News Sunday about the state of the US weapons arsenal due to the Iran war following a classified briefing he received on the matter.
‘Legal Counsel Will Review’: “We've expended a lot of munitions. And that means the American people are less safe. Whether it's a conflict in the western Pacific with China or somewhere else in the world, the munitions are depleted,” Kelly told the network. “‘Captain’ Mark Kelly strikes again. Now he’s blabbing on TV (falsely and dumbly) about a classified Pentagon briefing he received,” Hegseth wrote in an X post. “Did he violate his oath…again? Department of War legal counsel will review.” Related: Action hero Mark Kelly 2028 reveals Democrats stuck in TDS mode...
