OPINION_ From Tiananmen to Iran: Different Regimes, Same Logic of Evil (Lamont Colucci - THE EPOCH TIMES)

THE EPOCH TIMES

From Tiananmen to Iran: Different Regimes, Same Logic of Evil

What happened in 1989 did not end in Beijing—and it is not confined to China.

Commentary

Next month marks the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen uprising and subsequent massacre. The event is often reduced to a single image: a lone protester standing before tanks in Beijing.

The image endures. The understanding does not.

Tiananmen was not confined to a square, nor was the violence that followed. Protests spread across China, and the regime’s response extended far beyond Beijing. What has been remembered as a moment was, in reality, a nationwide confrontation between a ruling party and its own people.

That outcome should not have surprised anyone familiar with the history of the ...

IN-DEPTH_ How US Is Using Iran War to Squeeze China Ahead of Trump–Xi Summit (By Terri Wu - THE EPOCH TIMES)

THE EPOCH TIMES

How US Is Using Iran War to Squeeze China Ahead of Trump–Xi Summit

The U.S. economic blockade on Iran pressures Beijing indirectly. Analysts say that is Trump building leverage ahead of his summit with Xi.

As the United States ups its economic pressure to force the Iranian regime to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons, Washington’s squeeze on Tehran has extended to Beijing, a major source of support for the Iranian economy through illicit oil trade. Analysts say that is partly because the U.S. president is increasing his leverage ahead of his scheduled visit to Beijing in mid-May.

On April 15, Washington launched Operation Economic Fury to cut off Iran’s revenue streams.

On the same day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the United States “intends to take [Iran] down first, and then deal with China” when he received Chinese humanitarian supplies in Tehran. A U.S. naval blockade of Iran began two days prior.

COMMENTARY_ Republicans need a ‘Do it all, do it now’ approach (David N. Bossie = THE WASHINGTON TIMES)

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Republicans need a ‘Do it all, do it now’ approach

Do not give this crazed crop of redistricting Democrats more leeway


Trump and the Republican Party Illustration by Greg Groesch/The Washington Times more >

COMMENTARY

By David N. Bossie - Monday, May 11, 2026

OPINION:


The stunning news that no fewer than five incumbent Republican state senators in Indiana lost their primary elections to Trump-backed conservative candidates makes two things perfectly clear.

First, President Trump’s influence is ironclad, and his endorsement is golden. Second, “America First” conservatives are in no mood to sit back and let unhinged Democrats continue to rig the political playing field in America.

Things were going as planned for the radical left until Mr. Trump left his comfortable private life and got in the way.

President Biden greenlit a border invasion that paved the way for millions of people to enter our country illegally. Fatally flawed census rules were allowing illegal immigrants to be counted, and “Wild West”-style, fraud-prone voting systems were adopted as Democrats gleefully benefited from decades of illegal, racially gerrymandered congressional districts.

To put it bluntly, the situation had spiraled out of control.

Thankfully, Mr. Trump said enough is enough and opted to fix these country-defining issues. The president deeply believes, as we all should, that Americans deserve congressional maps that reflect the citizenry. They also deserve an accurate census and representation in Congress that prioritizes their wishes.

Mr. Trump is right as usual: The time for steel-spined leadership at all levels of government is now. Republicans must confront this disaster, and it starts with getting back to fair maps that don’t provide a built-in, unconstitutional tilt for Democrats.

Patriotic grassroots conservatives are sick and tired of entitled leftists benefiting from a broken status quo designed to systematically favor the left. In the age of
Donald Trump, that failed mindset for Republicans has come to an end.

Republicans are exploring pausing the federal gas tax in an effort to provide voters relief as prices at the pump soar due to the war in Iran.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) have
pledged to introduce legislation to suspend the excise taxes, which are 18.4 cents per gallon on gas and 24.4 cents per gallon on diesel, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Treasury sanctions network accused of helping IRGC sell Iranian oil to China

By Claire Carter
Published May 11, 2026 4:02pm ET | Updated May 11, 2026 4:02pm ET


The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control on Monday announced new sanctions on 12 individuals and entities accused of helping Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sell and transport oil to China through a network of front companies.

The sanctions, part of what has been labeled “Economic Fury,” target people and companies that officials say enabled
the Guard to disguise its role in Iranian oil shipments and funnel proceeds back to the country through shell firms based in Hong Kong, Dubai, and Oman, a Treasury official told the Washington Examiner.

Senators Push Trump on Taiwan Arms Deal

VIDEO

By Charlie McCarthy | Monday, 11 May 2026 09:04 AM EDT 


Days before Donald Trump is scheduled to visit mainland China, a group of mostly Democrat senators reportedly is urging the president to move ahead with a long-delayed $14 billion weapons package for Taiwan.

The bipartisan group pressed Trump in a Friday letter to formally notify Congress of the major arms sale ahead of his summit this week with Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning that U.S. support for Taiwan "is not up for negotiation,"
The New York Times reported.

The senators argued Taiwan has already demonstrated its commitment to self-defense after lawmakers in Taipei approved a massive $25 billion special defense budget last week aimed at strengthening deterrence against Communist China.

The letter was signed by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., Chris Coons, D-Del., Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., Andy Kim, D-N.J., Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and John Curtis, R-Utah.

"Ahead of your summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, we urge you and your team to make clear that America's support for Taiwan is inviolable," the senators wrote, the Times reported.

Trump Blasts Appointees Gorsuch, Barrett, on Tariffs Ruling

VIDEO

By Newsmax Wires | Sunday, 10 May 2026 07:09 PM EDT


President Donald Trump on Sunday sharply criticized Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, both appointed by him during his first term, saying they had "hurt our Country so badly" by siding against his administration's tariff policies.

"I 'Love' Justice Neil Gorsuch! He's a really smart and good man, but he voted against me, and our Country, on Tariffs, a devastating move," Trump wrote on
Truth Social.

"I have, likewise, always liked and respected Amy Coney Barrett, but the same thing with her," he added.

The Supreme Court ruled in February that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize a president to impose sweeping tariffs, delivering a major rebuke to President Donald Trump's use of emergency powers to reshape U.S. trade policy.

Trump said Sunday that the court's ruling would cost the United States "159 Billion Dollars that we have to pay back to enemies, and people, companies, and Countries, that have been ripping us off for years."

The president argued the justices could have avoided the financial impact with what he called a "tiny" sentence declaring that money paid to the United States would not need to be returned, and described the decision as a "Supreme Court Tariff catastrophe."

Trump also suggested some Republican-appointed justices have sought to distance themselves politically from him by ruling independently in major cases.

"Democrat Justices always remain true to the people that honored them for that very special Nomination," Trump wrote. "Republican Justices often go out of their way to oppose me, because they want to show how 'independent' or, 'above it all,' they are."

The president referenced his 2024 election victory, saying he won "the Popular Vote, all seven Swing States, an Electoral College 'clobbering,' and all U.S. Counties, by 86%, 2,750 to 525." He said he selected judicial nominees "to help our Country, not to hurt it."

Trump also warned the Supreme Court could rule against his administration on birthright citizenship, which he described as "unsustainable, unsafe, and incredibly costly."

He argued that a negative decision, combined with the tariff ruling, would not be "Economically sustainable for the United States of America."

In the post, Trump said he did not seek personal loyalty from the justices but expected them to act in the country's interest. "I don't want loyalty, but I do want and expect it for our Country," he wrote.

The president closed by saying the nation could not withstand repeated rulings of similar magnitude.

"Well, maybe Neil, and Amy, just had a really bad day, but our Country can only handle so many decisions of that magnitude before it breaks down, and cracks!!!" Trump wrote.

US_ White House Official: Bombshell New 2020 Election Truth About to Be Revealed (Ward Clark - REDSTATE)

White House Official: Bombshell New 2020 Election Truth About to Be Revealed

By Ward Clark | 4:36 PM on May 10, 2026

The opinions expressed by contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of RedState.com.

In recent years, most of us who follow politics have become pretty jaded. Outrageous things happen, outrageous acts are perpetrated, usually by the left, and nothing ever seems to be done about it. That's changing some now, with the Trump Department of Justice looking to bring some people to account for some of the more egregious acts.

Now, on Friday, the Chief of Protocol for the U.S. government, Monica Crowley, has claimed that the administration will soon produce proof that President Trump actually won the 2020 election. That would have to be pretty solid evidence for anything to come from it, but we may be learning more in the near future,
if Monica Crowley is correct.


Ambassador Monica Crowley, the U.S. government’s chief of protocol, said the administration will “soon” produce evidence that proves President Trump won the 2020 election. 

Ms. Crowley, speaking Wednesday at an event hosted by Breitbart News, didn’t reveal more about the evidence but expressed confidence in what it would show.

“He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that,” she said. 

That matches comments by other high officials, including FBI Director Kash Patel, who have talked about evidence of a conspiracy to subvert the 2020 vote, which made President Joseph R. Biden the victor over Mr. Trump’s vehement objections. 

The claims that were raised during and immediately after the election were all rejected by courts and Congress, which confirmed Mr. Biden’s victory.


That, of course, was the genesis of no small amount of controversy, including the J6 hooliganism in the Capitol that the left insists to this day in calling an "insurrection." Still, the times, they are a' changing, and there are investigations underway.


But a federal grand jury in Florida is newly pursuing the matter, and the Justice Department has hired and deployed Joe diGenova, a Trump ally, to help the U.S. attorney’s office in southern Florida with the case.

Ms. Crowley suggested that Mr. Trump should have served in the previous term from 2021 to 2025, but added that it’s fitting he’s in office now to oversee this year’s World Cup soccer extravaganza and the 2028 Olympics, both in America.


So, assuming this evidence is real, compelling, convincing, and shows proof of an illegally rigged election, what then?

That Thing That Never Happens Just Happened Again—Feds Charge Multiple Aliens With Illegally Voting


If actors are identified, which is far from impossible, the Florida grand jury can issue indictments and arrest warrants. But past (and bitter) experience would indicate that if anyone does take the fall for this, the list of names won't reach very high. Joe Biden won't be named. Nor will Kamala Harris. A few mid-level pols and officials from the Biden administration and some minor Democrat party officials at the national and some local levels may be designated as fall guys, to be welcomed on the leftist media circuit once any legal consequences are behind them.

Also, 2020 and that four-year term are behind us now. Even if proof of a stolen election arises, even if it's solid, the damage has been done. The best thing such evidence can do for us is to serve as a demonstration of what to look for in upcoming elections. After all, if the left were able to cheat enough to install an illegitimate U.S. president, they would try it again.

US_ Bombshell Evidence About the 2020 Election Is Coming (Matt Margolis - PJ MEDIA)

PJ Media

Bombshell Evidence About the 2020 Election Is Coming

Matt Margolis | 12:54 PM on May 10, 2026


AP Photo/Ben Gray


Something big is on the horizon — and the people saying so aren't fringe voices on a podcast. They're senior Trump administration officials.

Monica Crowley, the U.S. government's chief of protocol, dropped a significant claim on Wednesday: hard evidence that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election is coming, and it's coming soon. "He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that," Crowley said.

Now, she didn't lay out a timeline or spell out exactly what the evidence would look like, but the message was clear.

According to the Washington Times, she
offered no further details on the nature of what's being prepared. That ambiguity will inevitably give critics ammunition, of course. But here's the thing, Crowley’s remarks didn’t just come out of nowhere. Her claims track almost perfectly with what FBI Director Kash Patel told Maria Bartiromo last month.

As PJ Media
previously reported, Patel appeared on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo and announced that arrests are coming over the coordinated effort to rig the 2020 election.

"We are going to be making arrests, and it's coming, and I promise you, it's coming soon," Patel said.

Two senior officials. Same message. Same urgency. That's not a coincidence.

Their argument — and they're not alone in making it — is that a coordinated effort to undermine the 2020 election results led to Joe Biden being declared the winner.

You’ve heard all the liberal arguments that no fraud was actually found, and courts confirmed the election was entirely above board, but that’s simply not true. Every legal challenge filed after the 2020 contest was rejected, not for lack of evidence, but for lack of standing.

So, there’s a lot we still don’t know about the 2020 election — a lot that Democrats would rather not see the light of day.

'They Will Be Laughing No Longer': Trump Gives Stark Warning to Tehran

Scott McClallen | May 10, 2026 3:00 PM


AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein


President Donald Trump slammed Iran for “playing games with the United States” for 47 years, but soon, "they will be laughing no longer," he said in a Truth Social post on Sunday afternoon. 

"Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years (DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!), and then finally hit “pay dirt” when Barack Hussein Obama became President. He was not only good to them, he was great, actually going to their side, jettisoning Israel, and all other Allies, and giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and 1.7 Billion Dollars in green cash, flown into Tehran, was handed to them on a silver platter. Every Bank in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland was emptied out — It was so much money that when it arrived, the Iranian Thugs had no idea what to do with it."

Trump said that former President Barack Obama handed Iran "hundreds of billions of dollars" on a silver platter.
