A new deal with Venezuela that gives the United States majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves is expected to reshape global oil markets and give Washington significant control over oil prices.
U.S. President Donald Trump described the pact as “the biggest oil deal in world history.”
Although many details remain unclear, here is what has emerged so far and how observers are responding to the deal announced on the evening of Aug. 28.

A nuclear renaissance could be an important Trump legacy
By Washington Examiner
Published August 30, 2026 5:00am ET
VIDEO
The Army announced Wednesday that its Janus Program has selected five companies to build nuclear microreactors at five military installations, committing up to $2.2 billion to an effort that could eventually put more than 20 reactors across War Department facilities.
It is the latest evidence that President Donald Trump’s revival of American nuclear power could become the most consequential legacy of his second administration.
Janus grew directly from Trump’s May 2025 executive order directing the military to operate an Army-regulated advanced reactor at a domestic installation by Sept. 30, 2028. The Army launched Janus in October 2025, a step we approved of at the time, and this week paired Antares Nuclear with Fort Bragg, BWXT with Fort Campbell, General Atomics with Fort Hood, Radiant Industries with Fort Benning, and Westinghouse with Fort Drum. The reactors will be contractor-owned and operated, with federal payments tied to achieving certain technical milestones.

A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Benjamin Franklin’s warning has echoed across nearly 250 years of American history. Asked what kind of government the Constitutional Convention created, he famously replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
Not everyone today wants to maintain those constitutional arrangements. Our organization just released a comprehensive 64-page report exposing a well-funded political machine working to manipulate nearly every stage of our republic’s democratic machinery, from voter registration and the census to redistricting and the Electoral College.
The evidence reveals a coordinated campaign funded by left-wing foundations, labor unions, activist organizations, and “dark money” networks. Their objective is not simply to persuade voters. It is to rewrite the rules, reshape the electorate, and restructure our institutions until Democrats enjoy a permanent political advantage.
Consider Georgia; when the state enacted election-integrity reforms in 2021, President Joe Biden condemned the law as “Jim Crow 2.0.” Progressive groups predicted widespread voter suppression and raced to the courthouse to stop it.
The suppression never happened.
Research released by the left-leaning Voter Participation Center found that turnout among so-called “underrepresented” constituencies actually increased in Georgia during the 2024 election. Participation among African Americans, Latinos, Asians, voters under 35, and unmarried women increased by nearly 200,000 votes, or 6.8 percent.
The very organization that warned election safeguards would suppress voters produced research showing the opposite. Are we shocked?

Bessent Defends US Intervention to Support Yen
Saturday, 29 August 2026 12:50 PM EDT
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said disorderly moves in the yen could trigger "forced unwinds" of positions, risking destabilizing global markets and ultimately raising borrowing costs for U.S. households and businesses.
Bessent made the comments in a letter dated Aug. 27 and posted on his X account a day later. The letter responded to Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s demand for an explanation of Washington’s joint currency intervention with Tokyo last month.
The post came as the yen resumed weakening against the dollar despite expectations that the Bank of Japan could raise interest rates in the near term.
Japan and the United States carried out a rare coordinated yen-buying intervention July 31, signaling their determination to prevent a sell-off in the yen and Japanese government bonds from spilling over into global markets.
Although the yen has recovered from a 40-year low of nearly 164 per dollar reached last month, it has weakened back toward 160 after surging to 155.20 shortly after the intervention.

Chinese Artist’s 3-Year Sentence Highlights CCP’s Expanding Limits on Political Speech: Insiders
Gao Zhen was imprisoned over artworks created nearly 20 years ago, as insiders say criticism of Xi Jinping is increasingly treated as a political offense.

Chinese artist Gao Zhen was recently sentenced in China to three years in prison over artworks he created nearly two decades ago, which insiders say illustrates how Beijing is expanding its efforts to criminalize criticism of the regime and its leaders.
Gao, 70, was sentenced on Aug. 25 by a court in Sanhe, a city in China’s Hebei Province, for insulting “heroes and martyrs.” He was arrested by Chinese police in August 2024 while returning from New York to visit family in China. He has been held in Chinese custody since then.
Gao is a U.S. permanent resident and has a young son who is a U.S. citizen. He moved to the United States in 2022.

Letitia James’ perverse priorities fail the people of New York
By Post Editorial Board
Published Aug. 29, 2026, 1:24 p.m. ET
Attorney General Letitia James attends a joint press briefing at the Governor's office in New York on Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026. James, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Governor Kathy Hochul, and other elected officials and activists gathered to speak out against Federal ICE overreach.
Zuma / SplashNews.com
If the state attorney general’s job were to stage nonstop flashy political stunts appealing purely to her party’s base, Letitia James would rank New York’s best ever, hands down.
Yet that’s not the job, and James’ myopic focus on politics ill-serves her actual duties and the people of New York State.
Consider: Since taking office, James has filed endless legal motions and issued literally hundreds of press releases focused exclusively on attacking President Donald Trump or blocking his agenda.
This month alone, her office sent out a dozen releases (three a week!) blasting Trump — on commercial driver’s licenses, gun rights, mail-in voting, Title X funds, immigration enforcement and more.

Azerbaijani ambassador praises Trump as ‘true peacemaker’ after historic Azerbaijan-Armenia deal
By Brady Knox
Published August 19, 2025 5:00am ET
VIDEO
President Donald Trump surprised the world this month after announcing that two longtime enemies, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, would be meeting in the Oval Office to sign a historic peace agreement.
The diplomatic coup gives the United States its most significant position of influence in the Caucasus, an area historically out of its purview. In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Azerbaijani Ambassador Khazar Ibrahim praised Trump’s leadership as essential in securing the deal. He claimed Baku was confident that Trump would bring about positive developments in the Caucasus from day one of his second term, after enjoying favorable relations during his first term.
“We saw a strategic vision. And of course, President Trump is a true leader, a true peacemaker. So that’s why we knew from the very beginning, after he was elected, that there will be more efforts, not only in our region, but all around the world, for peace, prosperity, and development,” Ibrahim said. “So, therefore, it came very naturally that the new administration was interested in bringing peace and development to the region, and we worked together, and here we are.”

Trump administration helps end Armenia and Azerbaijan’s forever war
By Brady Knox
Published August 29, 2026 6:15am ET
VIDEO
Before launching Operation Epic Fury against Iran on Feb. 28, one of President Donald Trump’s favorite refrains was that he “ended” eight wars during his first year-plus back in office.
On closer examination, the reality is more complicated. Half of the conflicts mentioned saw a quick return to fighting, or Trump had claimed credit for halting fighting in conflicts where no hot war was taking place. The other three saw peace remain elusive, paused only as delays to larger wars.
But Trump does have diplomatic bragging rights in one case: the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which erupted shortly after the late 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, which both had been part of until independence just before that one-time global superpower collapsed. It’s a war Trump appears to have both stopped and transformed into a lasting peace. His administration did so by locking two of the world’s most bitter rivals into a framework favoring cooperation.

NUWAKOT, Nepal (AP) — Most arrive with nothing except the clothes they are wearing.
As rescue efforts in communities buried by catastrophic flash floods along the border between Nepal and China entered their fourth day Saturday, authorities continued finding survivors and transporting them to safety.
