Ron Johnson to Newsmax: Trump Dealt Major Blow to Iran
VIDEO
By Solange Reyner | Thursday, 18 June 2026 07:22 PM EDT
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., on Thursday on Newsmax defended President Donald Trump's handling of Iran, saying critics should acknowledge what he described as military gains against Tehran and a diplomatic agreement that reopened the Strait of Hormuz while leaving the United States prepared to act again if Iran violates its commitments.
The Wisconsin Republican made the comments on "Ed Henry: The Big Take" when asked why some of Trump's critics, including Republicans, have not credited the president for reaching a memorandum of understanding with Iran.
"I would just caution people, if you refuse to acknowledge reality, you do that at your own peril," Johnson said.
Johnson said Trump had been "very, very realistic" about Iran and argued that previous presidents warned that Tehran could not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon but did not take sufficient action.
"He was the only president, even though they all said, you can never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, to do something about it," Johnson said.
Johnson said U.S. actions had "dramatically degraded" Iran's nuclear capability, missile and drone programs, manufacturing capacity and navy.
But he acknowledged the agreement did not deliver everything the United States sought.
"The other side has a say in this," Johnson said."I never thought this would be easy."
The senator described Iran's clerical leaders as entrenched adversaries and said they had been preparing for confrontation with the United States for decades.
He said one hope of weakening the regime was that it could create an opportunity for the Iranian people to challenge those in power.
Johnson also used the moment to defend gun rights, arguing that armed citizens are better positioned to resist authoritarian rule. He said Iran showed why "gun control and disarming the citizenry" can leave "brutal tyrants in charge."
Johnson said he was disappointed that Iran's ruling regime remained in power but argued that reopening the Strait of Hormuz and limiting global economic damage were significant developments.
"I didn't like the Strait of Hormuz closed," he said. "I didn't like the economic damage it was doing worldwide."
The Strait of Hormuz is a key shipping route for global energy supplies, and disruptions there can quickly affect oil markets and broader economic conditions.
Johnson said the memorandum of understanding should be tested over time rather than dismissed outright.
"Let's see where this goes," he said. "I'm not going to trash this all."
He added that the United States could respond militarily again if Iran moves toward nuclear sites, threatens shipping in the strait, makes unreasonable demands or resumes funding terrorism.
"President Trump has said he's willing to do that," Johnson said.

Taiwan Lawmakers Back Tougher Law to Combat Forced Organ Harvesting
The Chinese regime is killing prisoners of conscience to harvest their organs and supply its transplant industry.

TAIPEI, Taiwan—Taiwan lawmakers convened a parliamentary hearing on June 17 to examine the need for new legislation to strengthen the island’s legal framework against forced organ harvesting, aligning with international efforts to combat illicit organ transplantation and transplant tourism linked to China.
Chen Gau-tzu, a legislator of the opposition Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), told the hearing that organ transplants sourced from unidentified origins or from prisoners of conscience cross an ethical red line. As a result, she said, Taiwan’s healthcare system must not inadvertently facilitate illicit overseas organ transplants.
“International concern over cross-border organ transplants, transplant tourism, and forced organ harvesting has grown significantly in recent years,” Chen Gau-tzu said.

The morons and the moron-wranglers are very, very upset about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire. In their ideology, success is self-evidently bad. He’s very successful, so therefore, he’s very bad. Remember that socialists are collectivists. It must be about the many, never the one, because they want to be the voice of the many, and an uppity one is an obstacle to their domination. That’s why they hate individual success. Of all the obnoxious lies Barack Obama told, perhaps the most poisonous was his “You didn’t build that!” lie. What Obama was attempting to do was deny the possibility of individual success. That allows him to sidestep the problem of individual property rights, because they want your property—property is power. If you didn’t build that, it’s not yours. If you didn’t build that, then we had to have built that, and therefore we own it and can do what we want with it. And by “we,” they mean themselves and the rest of the nomenklatura of the leftist ruling class. It’s rhetorically dispossessing you not only of your property, but of the possibility of individual greatness.

Conservative Group Plans AI Data Center Protests
VIDEO
By Nicole Weatherholtz | Thursday, 18 June 2026 04:51 PM EDT
A conservative organization calling for stronger safeguards on artificial intelligence is mobilizing activists across the country for a nationwide protest against the rapid expansion of AI data centers.
Humans First, which advocates for an "America First AI policy," announced plans for a "Nationwide Day of Protest" on July 18, with demonstrations scheduled for at least 13 locations in Georgia, California, Texas, Florida, and Virginia.
The group says the protests are designed to push back against what it calls the "unchecked expansion of AI data centers" and to give ordinary Americans a greater voice in the debate over AI policy.
According to Humans First, the rallies will "give grassroots Americans, particularly grassroots conservatives, a voice in the critical debate over policies relating to the building of massive AI data centers."
The effort comes as Republicans in Washington seek to balance concerns about the potential risks of AI with support for maintaining America's technological edge over foreign competitors.

The memorandum of understanding with Iran to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and restrain Tehran’s nuclear ambitions was revealed by senior U.S. officials on June 17.
The interim deal, which was read by a senior U.S. official in a call with reporters, requires Iran to immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz without tolls during a 60-day period of negotiations.
Iran has also agreed to, at a minimum, downblend its stockpile of enriched uranium. The deal allows for potential future economic relief if Iran responds favorably to the United States’ demands.
The agreement would also allow Iran to sell its oil without restrictions. The deal provides for a 60-day window for negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Thursday that the U.S. military will reimpose its blockade of Iranian ports if Tehran does not fulfill its part of an agreement between the United States and Iran that was signed by both nations.
On Wednesday, a memorandum of understanding was signed by U.S. President Donald Trump in Versailles, France, and later by Iranian President Mahmoud Pezeshkian.
The memorandum, in part, terminates military hostilities between the two countries, opens the Strait of Hormuz, provides a potential reconstruction fund for Iran if Tehran agrees to give up or dilute its enriched uranium, ceases its nuclear program, and commits to further negotiations within 60 days, among other provisions.

A London court has sentenced two men, including a former British immigration officer, to up to 10 years in prison for spying on Hong Kong pro-democracy activists in the UK on behalf of the Chinese regime.
Wai Chi-leung and Yuen Chung-biu—both dual British and Chinese nationals—were found guilty in May under the National Security Act 2023 for aiding a foreign intelligence service.
Wai, 41, was also convicted of misconduct in a public office in relation to misusing the UK interior ministry’s systems to track targets while employed at London Heathrow’s British Border Force.
After a hearing at the Central Criminal Court in central London, Wai received a 10-year sentence, while Yuen was sentenced to eight years in jail, according to sentencing remarks livestreamed by local media outlet Sky News.

Iran Deal Will Seal Trump's Midterm Victory

Ask anyone if inflation is getting better or worse and they will always measure his answer based on what he just paid for a gallon of gas.
The details of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) much less core CPI data are lost on the average person, but the specificity with which he likely recalls gas prices is impressive.
It's the one economic statistic we all know and remember.
Everyone agrees that the Iran peace deal will cause gas prices to drop. Indeed the price of a barrel of Brent Crude dropped 4% just on news of the deal.
The next few weeks, we will all see gas prices drop, nullifying the Democratic critique of the economy and putting quite a dent in the "affordability" issue with which Democrats are so enamored.
Regardless of the ultimate level of prices, the rapid drop we are all about to witness in gas prices takes away the inflation issue from the midterms.
The effect on Trump's ratings on the economy are sure to be dramatic.
OK, so what does that leave for the Democrats to talk about?
The recent Harvard-Harris poll confirms that Trump wins majorities on almost any other issue.
Take away complaints about his handling of the war in Iran and Trump wins every single issue. With the economy doing well, but not spectacularly, Trump needed a handy answer to overcome disappointment in the economy.
By going to war, raising the price, and then bringing it down, Trump is like the person who stopped hitting himself over the head: it feels good when it stops.
That sense of well-being is likely to be felt way beyond just energy prices. It makes a "morning again in America" believable.
MAGA — making America Great Again —is now within reach.

COMMENTARY_ Iran can never be trusted (Cheryl K. Chumley - THE WASHINGTON TIMES)
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Iran can never be trusted
President Donald Trump speaks with reporters during a news conference in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House, Monday, April 6, 2026, in Washington, as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff … more >
COMMENTARY
By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Tuesday, June 16, 2026
OPINION:
President Trump announced on social media that the war with Iran is over, and then a short time later, from France, he said a peace deal was in process and that America, Israel and the world can expect “a lot of great things” to “happen in the Middle East” in rapid time. Specifically, Trump said, the Strait of Hormuz “will be completely open” by the end of the week.
Wonderful news. War is over, the good guys won, the bad guys lost, wonderful. wonderful news. But “over” comes with some asterisks.
