Commentary

At an April University of Texas gathering to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas delivered a message that was both a celebration and a warning. The question he posed was not simply what the Declaration meant in 1776, but whether its principles can endure in the years ahead.

Justice Thomas’s argument rested on a premise that has long defined his jurisprudence: America is not just a political arrangement. It is a moral proposition. The Declaration’s claim that all men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights is not a historical curiosity. It is, in his view, a statement of enduring truth—one that demands not just agreement, but commitment.

The United States on Friday sanctioned a network of entities and individuals alleged to have funneled billions of dollars to Iran via illicit oil sales, taking aim at a China-based terminal operator responsible for importing tens of millions of barrels of sanctioned crude.

According to the State Department, the move as part of ongoing actions under the Trump administration’s Economic Fury policy to derail Tehran’s main revenue source for financing military action and terrorist activities. The move represents the 12th round of sanctions on Iranian oil sales since National Security Presidential Memorandum-2 was issued on Feb. 4, 2025.

“The United States is taking decisive action to disrupt Iran’s illicit oil trade, the Iranian regime’s primary revenue streams that fund terrorism and regional destabilization,” the department said in a fact sheet.

Trump Drops a Cuba Bombshell — Joke or Warning Shot?

President Donald Trump spoke at the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches in Florida on Friday night, and he seemed in a jocular mood. He had a wry smile on his face as he talked about the 67-year-old problem of communist Cuba, which is only 90 miles off Key West. The long-suffering residents have faced dire economic conditions for decades, and photographs show an island country still mired in the 1960s.

Meanwhile, they have a long history of cozying up to our enemies. Maybe we’ll just take it, the president joked (?). Watch:

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says he might TAKE OVER CUBA "almost immediately" using the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN traveling back from Iran

"On the way back from Iran, we'll have one of our big, maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. We'll have that come in, stop about 100 yards offshore, and they'll say, 'thank you very much, we give up!'" 🤣

"A place called Cuba, which we will be taking over almost immediately. Now, Cuba's got problems. We'll finish one first. I like to finish the job."

Cuba is next, Marco has been waiting! 🔥

In March, the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau issued a warning regarding a change to Hong Kong’s National Security Law. The revision makes it illegal for anyone, including residents and individuals transiting the airport, to refuse to provide Hong Kong authorities with access to personal accounts and devices. It also allows the police to seize devices. Failure to comply can result in jail time and a hefty fine.

US_ Trump says it’s ‘treasonous’ for Democrats to claim US ‘not winning’ Iran war (Washington Examiner Staff - WASHINGTON EXAMINER)

Trump says it’s ‘treasonous’ for Democrats to claim US ‘not winning’ Iran war

By Washington Examiner Staff
Published May 1, 2026 10:49pm ET

President Donald Trump said on Friday it was “treasonous” of Democrats to say the United States is not winning the war with Iran.

Trump made the remark during an event at The Villages, a large community in Florida made up of retirees, while talking about the success the U.S. military has had in destroying Iran’s military.

“Think of it. Their navy’s gone. Their air force is gone. Their whole place is gone,” Trump said. “And then we get people who say that we’re not winning.

We get the radical Left to say we’re not winning.” “It’s unbelievable,” the president continued. “It’s actually, I believe, it’s treasonous, OK? You want to know the truth, it’s treasonous.”

Before departing for Florida, Trump told the press at the White House he was unsatisfied with the latest peace offer made by Iran. The president also argued that Iran’s negotiators are disorganized, and it remains unclear who is running the country or who is able to make deals with Washington.

Despite the displeasure with Iran and its negotiators, Trump notified Congress on Friday that “hostilities” with the country have “terminated.” The declaration was made in a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

Trump says US might be ‘better off not making a deal’ with Iran

Published May 1, 2026 10:56pm ET

President Donald Trump said it might be best not to make a deal with Iran‘s leadership, and pledged not to abandon the war without completing the mission.

Speaking at an event in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump boasted of U.S. progress in the war and voiced his commitment to continuing the conflict until the job is done. 

“We had to get this done, and we’re really doing well. We’re just winning,” Trump said.

“But they’re not coming through with the kind of deal that we have to have. And we’re going to get this thing done properly. We’re not going to leave early and then have the problem arise in three more years,” he added, prompting cheers.

Trump Expands Cuba Sanctions, Targets Banking Ties

VIDEO

By Jim Thomas | Friday, 01 May 2026 05:58 PM EDT


President Donald Trump signed an executive order broadening U.S. sanctions on the Cuban government, authorizing the Treasury to block the assets of Cuban officials and their adult family members, bar them from entering the United States, and penalize foreign banks that handle their transactions.

The order extends a national emergency that Trump declared in January and is designed to cut Havana's access to the global financial system as the administration intensifies pressure on the island during a deepening economic crisis.

The order, issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, allows asset blocks on individuals and entities involved in Cuba's key economic sectors, government leaders, security affiliates and those responsible for serious human rights abuses or corruption connected to the regime. 

It extends to adult family members of designees and suspends their entry into the United States.

OPINION_ Stop China, Iran and Terrorists From Weaponizing Carfentanil (Anders Corr - THE EPOCH TIMES)

THE EPOCH TIMES

Stop China, Iran and Terrorists From Weaponizing Carfentanil

The nexus of China, terrorism, and dangerous chemicals requires tougher action by U.S. authorities.

A sample of carfentanil is being analyzed at the DEA's Special Testing and Research Laboratory in Sterling, Va., on Oct. 21, 2016. Russell Baer/U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration via AP

Anders Corr
5/1/2026|Updated: 5/1/2026

Commentary

While fentanyl deaths in the United States decreased in 2025 compared to prior years, carfentanil smuggling and use are on the rise. Carfentanil is approximately 100 times more potent and deadly than fentanyl, with a nearly microscopic dose of as little as 20 micrograms potentially sufficient to kill a human.

The rise of illicit carfentanil smuggling and its links to China and terrorism raises the question of the risk of adversary states using terrorists or criminal proxies to disperse chemical or biological weapons in the United States. International criminal networks are known to be used by U.S. adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Carfentanil could become their weapon of choice.

In 2016, Canadian border officials in Vancouver seized 1 kilogram of carfentanil, which they said was enough for 50 million lethal doses. The package came from China and was labeled “printer accessories.”
