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 ...

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.

Cars Should Be 100 Percent Free of the CCP
Yet China’s auto parts exports are increasing.

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.

Don’t let China sabotage our future with AI data center fearmongering
By Wayne Christian
Published May 17, 2026 6:00am ET
VIDEO
There is no hotter debate unfolding across rural America than the expansion of data center infrastructure. Here in Texas, I have been hearing from folks who are raising legitimate concerns about water use, electricity demand, landowner rights, and whether massive Big Tech companies can be trusted to operate responsibly. I understand those concerns because I share many of them myself.
The scale and coordination of the rural backlash against data centers is impossible to ignore. The passion is real, and the movement has become increasingly bipartisan, drawing support from both conservatives and liberals alike. The result is a growing wave of opposition that is beginning to stop many of these projects before they ever get off the ground, with calls for moratoriums across the nation.

Taiwan’s US ambassador confident arms sale will go through despite Trump delay
By Molly Parks
Published May 17, 2026 4:20pm ET | Updated May 17, 2026 4:20pm ET
Ambassador Alexander Yui, the Taiwanese Representative to the United States, remained optimistic on Sunday about the American arms sale to Taiwan in the face of its delay.
President Donald Trump brought a renewed focus on U.S.-Taiwan policy this past week as he flew to Beijing to visit Chinese President Xi Jinping. Despite efforts from a group of U.S. Senators to urge Trump to announce the sale of weapons to Taiwan ahead of his trip to China, Trump both went on and left the trip without making a commitment. However, Yui did not waver in his confidence in the sale on Sunday.

Graham says it’s ‘worth losing my job’ for non-nuclear Iran as midterms loom
By Molly Parks
Published May 17, 2026 12:58pm ET
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of the Senate’s biggest Iran war hawks, is putting his full chest and his job behind the U.S.-Israeli war, saying the conflict is “worth losing my job” over.
“If I had to give up my job to make sure Iran would never have a nuclear weapon, I would do it,” Graham said on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday morning when asked if a non-nuclear Iran would be worth losing the midterm elections for.

Louisiana Voters Just Ended Bill Cassidy's Senate Career After Two Terms and One Key Vote
By Joe Cunningham | 11:19 PM on May 16, 2026

Bill Cassidy voted to convict Donald Trump in February 2021. Louisiana Republicans spent five years deciding what to do about it. On Saturday, they gave their answer.
Cassidy, who has represented Louisiana in the U.S. Senate since 2015, did not finish in the top two of the Republican primary. He will not advance to the June 27 runoff. His Senate career is over.
The two candidates who did advance, Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow and State Treasurer John Fleming, now face each other in a runoff that will determine which of them represents the Louisiana Republican Party against the Democratic nominee in November. In Louisiana, that general election is a formality. The real race ends June 27.
THERE WERE SIGNS: There's a Really Good Chance Bill Cassidy Doesn't Even Make His Own Run-Off on Saturday
The Impeachment Vote That Defined a Career's End
Cassidy was one of seven Senate Republicans to vote to convict Trump following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The vote made him a target. The Republican Party of Louisiana censured him formally. Trump kept score. And for the next four years, every poll, every challenger, and every endorsement in this race was shaped by that single vote.
Trump endorsed Letlow on January 18, 2026. She entered the race two days later. The message was unambiguous: Louisiana is one of the most Trump-aligned states in the country, and the president wanted Cassidy gone. According to reports, Cassidy was the only Republican senator Trump's team actively targeted for defeat in this cycle. Saturday's result suggests the effort worked.

Trump Pushes SAVE America Act in Housing, FISA Bills
VIDEO
By Newsmax Wires | Saturday, 16 May 2026 09:56 AM EDT
President Donald Trump on Saturday renewed his push for the SAVE America Act, urging Congress to attach the election-security measure to pending housing and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act legislation while alleging widespread problems with mail-in voting.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump declared: "THE SAVE AMERICA ACT MUST BE PASSED, NOW. Use the Housing and FISA Bills to get it done!"
Trump also claimed that Maryland had "500,000 Fake Mail-In Ballots revealed," though he did not provide evidence or additional details to support the allegation.
"We cannot, as a Country, put up with this any longer!!!" Trump wrote. "Voter I.D., and Proof of Citizenship, must be approved, NOW. Crooked Mail-In Voting must be stopped!!!"
The president's latest comments come as Republicans continue pushing the SAVE America Act, legislation that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
Trump and GOP allies have argued the bill is needed to strengthen election integrity and prevent noncitizen voting.

YouTube, Snap, and TikTok have settled a Kentucky school district’s claims that the platforms fueled a youth mental health crisis that the school district said it was forced to manage.
The Breathitt County School District in rural eastern Kentucky still plans to take Meta Platforms, parent of Facebook and Instagram, to trial on June 15.
The agreements, detailed in federal court filings on Friday, are among the first set for trial in more than 1,200 similar lawsuits filed by school districts nationwide.
“This matter has been amicably resolved and our focus remains on building age-appropriate products and parental controls that deliver on that promise,” a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement.
