Jeanine Pirro Issues Threat to Parents of Children Who Participate in 'Teen Takeovers'

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced on Friday that her office will target the parents of children who participate in violent “teen takeovers” in the District of Columbia.

During a press conference, Pirro noted that “these takeovers have terrorized our neighborhoods,” “shut down businesses,” and “wasted hard-earned tax dollars of law-abiding residents who just want to live and work in peace.”

“Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under D.C.'s curfew law,” Pirro continued.

This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts. The penalty is up to six months imprisonment. So if the evidence shows the parent knew or should have known or permitted or failed to prevent participation, we're going to charge them. And if you drop your kid off and you fail to supervise them or you let them skip school to join the chaos, you are going to face fines, court-ordered classes, and possible jail time.

UK_ The British People Are Facing a Threat Far Greater Than an Islamic Takeover (Brandon Morse - REDSTATE)

The British People Are Facing a Threat Far Greater Than an Islamic Takeover

The U.K. is in a horrifying place. They are something of a test case, a major Western power hooked on too much globalism, and as you can see from consistent reports emerging from the country, the Brits are being crushed by an authoritarianism that hides its dictatorial behavior behind a mask of social justice. It's the same story from the radical left in the U.K. as it is everywhere else.

Rep. John Rose to Newsmax: GOP Voters Want Republicans to Stand With Trump

VIDEO

By Charlie McCarthy | Monday, 18 May 2026 09:15 AM EDT


Some Republicans running in primaries are learning that the party's base wants GOP lawmakers to strongly support President Donald Trump, Rep. John Rose, R-Tenn., told Newsmax on Monday.

Appearing on Newsmax's "
Wake Up America Early," Rose said voters have made it clear they expect Republicans to stand firmly behind Trump's "America First" agenda, especially as the president confronts threats abroad and works to repair the economy after the Biden administration.

"I think you do see a result, consequences if you will, of not sticking with the president," Rose said.

"The Republican base wants to see our Republican legislators support the president. I think that couldn't be really clearer."

Rose said Trump's political comeback after years of investigations and attacks from Democrats proved voters rejected "weaponization" of government against the president.

"Some Republicans fell victim to that," Rose said. "I think now they're seeing that so-called chickens come home to roost."

OP-ED_ Women’s voices matter: Pass the SAVE America Act (Anna Pingel - WASHINGTON EXAMINER)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER



Women’s voices matter: Pass the SAVE America Act

By Anna Pingel
Published May 18, 2026 7:00am ET

VIDEO

“If she is one of the most valuable of the nation’s citizens, she should have a voice in its affairs,” stated Constance Smedley, an unapologetic advocate of a woman’s right to vote before women could legally cast a ballot. This sentiment remains true today. Women’s voices are valuable.

Women obtained the right to vote in America barely over a century ago. The battle for these voting rights, both
political and cultural in nature, was won due to the blood, sweat, and tears of many like Smedley. It was the result of a long and strenuous pursuit of full equality in the election of a representative government.

On Sunday morning, Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on Fox News Sunday Morning Futures opposite host Maria Bartiromo. The Acting AG was there to discuss ongoing investigations into the Russia collusion hoax around the 2016 presidential election, as well as election rigging in the 2020 presidential election. He had some very pointed comments, as well as some reasons as to why these investigations are taking as long as they are.

First,

OPINION

There Are Enemies and Then There Are Enemies

Alan Joseph Bauer | May 18, 2026

Donald Trump knows how to change gears when dealing with America’s friends and foes.

Donald Trump did a whirlwind visit to China, where he brought the cream of the American CEO crop. Who didn’t try to get a selfie with Elon Musk who visited with one of his children? The president was shown respect that neither Obama nor Biden ever received. While one would think that strong leaders like President Xi (the guy who got rid of the 2 x 5 year presidency respected by all of his predecessors) like weak leaders of their enemies, the truth is often quite the opposite. An Obama/Gordon Brown or Biden/Starmer weak-weak arrangement worked out because each one was a loser and did not feel threatened by the other. When a strong leader deals with a weaker one, he often does not know if the other other fellow can deliver the goods. Xi knows that Trump can get stuff done, so dealing with him is dealing with the United States. The
praise Xi heaped on Trump and the US at the official state dinner was extraordinary.

There are many reasons not to like China or its behavior. An incomplete list would include the following:


* Abuse of World Trade Organization membership
* Currency manipulation
* Making North Korea a nuclear state
* Endlessly threatening to take Taiwan
* Intellectual property theft
* Closed markets to US goods
* Taking and militarizing islands that don’t belong to China
* Buying US farmland too close to military installations
* Supporting Iran and Russia
* Locking up dissidents
* Using their commercial cars and drones to spy on the West


This list is by no means exhaustive. During my sole visit to China, I found police and soldiers to be everywhere. The security at the train stations was greater than Israel has at Ben Gurion Airport. We weren’t encouraged to walk around by ourselves, and like the president and his staff, we left our phones at home and brought older models just to stay in touch. Every Chinese company is an extension of the Chinese government. Many students and foreign scholars in the West have the same status. China is no friend of the United States, however much trade exists between the countries. And just as Donald Trump and his people did not bring their phones or laptops, they disposed of any and everything given to them during their brief visit to the Chinese capital. I don’t recall a similar protocol of throwing everything out prior to flying home. That says everything one needs to know (and bringing food from the US) about the level of trust that Washington has for Beijing.

Recommended

The GOP’s Midterm Reversal of Fortune

Kurt Schlichter


With all of the above in mind, The US still has to deal with China. There are enemies like Cuba and Venezuela that can be handled with minimal invasive action. Then there are enemies like Iran that are big enough and militarily strong enough that it takes some time to deal with them. Then there is China. She has nuclear weapons and also has dreams of passing the US for world economic and military leadership. And that’s where the problem always is. For all of the nice talk about working together, the world being better when cooperating, etc., the Chinese—or communists at large—never hold up their end of the bargain. It is a relief to hear President Xi talk about the US and China doing good things together, but when the rubber hits the road, the Chinese continue with everything listed above. Israel has banned Chinese electric cars from air force bases because they understand that those cars spy. The British concluded that such cars spied on top ministers. The Chinese making US products and then continuing with their own knock-offs is not going to end. Chinese aggression towards its neighbors will not be a thing of the past. And they are not going to take North Korea’s nuclear weapons away as a sign of good will. In short, while the words and probably the food were lovely, China remains a competitive foe of the United States.

And Donald Trump played them like a fiddle. He did not come in a combative or threatening manner. Rather, he praised China and Xi to high heaven. He brought along his top associates and the power group of American CEOs. He knows that China, like the Soviet Union, will collapse from within. It will not be destroyed militarily. Fighting China is not a slam dunk. While their technology may not be as good as its Western competition (as suggested from some purported failures in the Iranian theater), it has the numbers and the will to fight. So instead of going kinetic, Donald Trump is going empathetic: let’s be friends, let’s do deals, come visit me in September…. All the while, China has some serious problems on its ledgers:

* The one child policy has been a disaster and the country will in a few years need to import workers.
* The country’s real estate sector is in crisis
* Without the US market, Chinese workers will be unemployed and not very happy
* Corruption and China both begin with the letter “C”
* The Belt And Road program has created a lot of bad will from the third-world clients who owe Beijing a fortune
* China used to buy 90% of Iran’s oil. All gone.

China is not going away any time soon and the thought of some type of internal rebellion seems far-fetched. But economic gravity and military corruption will show that the emperor is wearing Temu underwear. The Chinese never advertise their failings or weaknesses, but that does not mean that they do not exist. And just as the Soviet Union collapsed from its failed program, China may find that it can no longer move forward with too few workers and more expensive raw materials and energy. Donald Trump realizes that he cannot defeat China militarily, but if he can wait them out, their own internal problems may get the best of them. Would China still want to attack Taiwan after witnessing the incredible success of American weapons and platforms in the Iran War?

As to Iran the enemy, they still don’t understand Donald Trump. He is really willing to let the IRGC and Mullah of the Month continue to run the place if they just give up all of their nuclear ambitions. They don’t believe him and their pride makes them fools, talking about reparations and an end of hostility—without any mention of dealing with the nuclear issues. Even Donald Trump has finite patience, and the midterms are coming. Most expect a resumption of fighting this week, and the targets will be catastrophic for the Iranian regime. They will lose their means of energy production and probably several top people to boot. The extended time-out has allowed the US and Israel to add weapons and service the air frames that seemed to flying non-stop. Maduro was offered an out and he laughed at the US. The Iranians were offered an off-ramp but they couldn’t get over their egos to accept it. Maduro is gone and the Iranians are about to get hit in a manner that they did not feel during the more restrained Phase I of the kinetic war. When Israel hit a natural gas field, it was chastised by the US. No more of that.

The US has many enemies because the US shows a way of life that is an anathema to dictators and religious zealots. The freedoms Americans enjoy are more threatening to a strongman than B-52s loaded with bombs. The US offers hope to those who live under the jackboot and rifle of their government. The hatred towards the US from its enemies is a compliment as to the greatness of the country as she celebrates her 250th birthday.

OPINION_ International Energy Agency Is Wrong to Forecast Coal’s Demise (Tom Harris - THE EPOCH TIMES)

THE EPOCH TIMES

International Energy Agency Is Wrong to Forecast Coal’s Demise

Tom Harris
5/16/2026|Updated: 5/17/2026

Commentary

Activists would have us believe that coal is a dying energy source. But, thankfully for American coal states such as West Virginia and the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia—all of which use millions of tonnes of coal every year to generate electricity—that is not even remotely true.

The Kobeissi Letter, an industry-leading commentary on global capital markets, writes that the world is burning more coal now than ever, reaching a record 8.85 billion metric tonnes annual consumption by the end of 2025. Since 2020, annual coal consumption has increased by 1.40 billion tonnes.

Most of this has come from China, of course, which makes up about 55 percent of global coal consumption (the United States makes up about 5 percent of global consumption). Although the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts a decline in demand over the next five years, The Kobeissi Letter more realistically predicts that demand will continue to rise, and points out that ...

CCP Fuels Massacre of Christians in Nigeria

Nigeria’s Christian killing fields sit atop billions in Chinese mineral investments.

Commentary

As Fulani Islamist violence devastates Christian communities across Nigeria’s Middle Belt, Chinese mining interests, weapons flows, and land displacement are fueling the conflict while entire villages are driven from some of West Africa’s richest mineral regions.

At midnight on May 8, Fulani Islamists attacked a Christian community in Ngbrran-Zongo village, Kwall District, Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State, Nigeria. Eleven Christians were killed, including Sunday Hwie, a 60-year-old community leader; Gabriel Sunday, a 17-year-old boy; Eunice Samuel, a 25-year-old pregnant woman; Laraba Sunday, a 29-year-old pregnant woman; and Festus Sunday, a three-year-old boy.

OPINION_ Cars Should Be 100 Percent Free of the CCP (Anders Corr - THE EPOCH TIMES)

THE EPOCH TIMES

Cars Should Be 100 Percent Free of the CCP

Yet China’s auto parts exports are increasing.

Anders Corr

Commentary


The risk that China’s internet-connected cars could invade U.S. markets and create security vulnerabilities is well known on both sides of the aisle.

Bipartisan legislation is under consideration to codify an existing ban on such vehicles in the United States, in part due to surveillance risks. While proposed legislation bans Chinese safety parts, it does not ban other imports from China, including transmissions and steering columns.

Aren’t steering and brakes just as important for passenger safety? And doesn’t empowering China with tens of billions of dollars’ worth of annual auto parts purchases endanger U.S. national security?

WASHINGTON—Thousands of Americans came together on a bright, sunny Sunday on May 17 on the National Mall for a faith-based celebration known as “Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving.”

The Washington Monument rose above the stage under puffy white clouds mixed with brilliant blue skies, as the Capitol dome loomed behind the audience and the Smithsonian Castle framed the crowd.

The event, organized by nonpartisan nonprofit group Freedom 250, kicks off months of festivities honoring the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

May 17 was chosen to honor the Continental Congress’ call for a “Day of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer” on that date in 1776.
