    Taliban Responds To Trump Push To Reclaim Bagram Air Base

    The Taliban on Sunday responded to President Trump’s push to regain control of Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, saying the U.S. should adopt “a policy of realism and rationality” while rejecting the move.

    “It has been consistently communicated to the United States in all bilateral negotiations that, for the Islamic Emirate, Afghanistan’s independence and territorial integrity are of the utmost importance,” Taliban deputy spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat said in an official statement posted on the social platform X.

    Fitrat pointed to U.S. commitments under the Doha agreement — which Trump aides negotiated in his first term to end the U.S. presence in Afghanistan — not to “use or threaten force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Afghanistan, nor interfere in its internal affairs.”

    Trump in recent days has suggested the U.S. wants to wrest back control of Bagram Air Base.

    “If Afghanistan doesn’t give Bagram Airbase back to those that built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN!!!,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Saturday.

    During a joint press conference in Great Britain with that country’s prime minister, Trump said the U.S. was “trying to get it back” because the Taliban needed things from the United States.

    He also highlighted the base’s proximity to China.

    “We gave it to them for nothing,” Trump said, repeating a campaign message on the Biden-era unconditional withdrawal from Afghanistan, during a joint news conference with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

    “We’re trying to get it back, by the way. OK, that could be a little breaking news. We’re trying to get it back because they need things from us.

    “We want that base back. But one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it’s an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons.

    “So a lot of things are happening.”

    Watch:

    Bagram was once the largest U.S. base in Afghanistan during the U.S. war in that country, the longest conflict in American history. It was abandoned in 2021 when the Biden administration withdrew U.S. forces from Afghanistan.

    McCarthy Cursed Trump Following Historic Speaker Vote

      Tensions were running high after the House of Representatives voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

      According to a new report from The Washington Post, McCarthy cursed out former President Donald Trump after he refused to defend the California Republican to his colleagues.

      The Hill has more:

      After Trump gave McCarthy a list of reasons why he didn’t support the former Speaker in a phone call, McCarthy let loose, the Post report said.

      “F‑‑‑ you,” he told Trump, according to two sources McCarthy told about the conversation, the Post reported.

      While Trump did not offer to support McCarthy after being ousted as Speaker the former president later explicitly endorsed Jim Jordan for the position.

      McCarthy has defended Trump in the wake of numerous civil and federal investigations into the former President.

      Trump Brushes Off 2028 Question With Five-Word Reality Check

      President Donald Trump brushed off another question about seeking a third White House term Tuesday night, repeatedly pointing to the legal barrier standing between him and a 2028 campaign.

      Speaking with reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, Trump was asked whether he was serious about running again.

      “Everybody asks me that question, and you know that the law is very strong on that,” Trump responded. “I’d love to run, but the law is very strong.”

      Trump said supporters had been chanting “2028” earlier that day while he attended the Patriot Games in Ohio.

      “Everybody wants me to do it,” he said, once again adding that “the law is very strong.”

      When a reporter pressed Trump on whether that amounted to a definitive no, the president moved on without answering directly.

      The exchange captured the balancing act Trump has maintained throughout his second term. He has repeatedly welcomed speculation about another campaign—occasionally treating it as a joke and at other times suggesting he had seriously considered potential “methods” for returning to office.

      His latest answer, however, placed noticeably greater emphasis on the constitutional restriction.

      The Constitutional Roadblock

      The 22nd Amendment states that no person may be elected president more than twice. Trump won the presidency in 2016 and again in 2024, preventing him from being elected to another term under the Constitution’s current language.

      The amendment was ratified in 1951 after President Franklin D. Roosevelt broke with the two-term tradition established by George Washington and won four presidential elections.

      Changing the restriction would require another constitutional amendment, demanding approval from two-thirds of both chambers of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states.

      Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) introduced a resolution in January 2025 that would permit a president to be elected as many as three times under specific circumstances. The proposal was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, but the official congressional record lists no additional action.

      Another proposed workaround would involve Vice President JD Vance running for president with Trump as his running mate, winning the election and then resigning—allowing Trump to return to the presidency through succession.

      Trump acknowledged that theory during a March 2025 interview with NBC News, when he insisted he was “not joking” about a third term and said there were “methods” that could potentially make it happen.

      Most constitutional scholars argue the plan would fail because the 12th Amendment states that anyone constitutionally ineligible to serve as president is also ineligible to become vice president. Trump later dismissed the proposal himself as “too cute.”

      In October 2025, Trump offered an even more direct assessment.

      “If you read it, it’s pretty clear,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad.”

      Attention Turns to Trump’s Successor

      Trump’s latest remarks arrive as the Republican Party’s 2028 succession contest slowly moves into view.

      The president reportedly told Republican donors during a recent Oval Office meeting that “we need to elect JD,” appearing to boost Vance as his preferred successor. Trump later said it was “way too early” to issue an endorsement and continued praising both Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

      Trump has publicly suggested that Vance and Rubio could form an “unstoppable” ticket without saying which man should lead it.

      For now, the third-term speculation allows Trump to keep supporters energized while ensuring that potential Republican successors continue competing for his approval.

        Trump Celebrates ‘Major WIN’ in Lawsuit Against Pulitzer Prize Board

          He’s a winner…

          President Donald Trump took a victory lap, celebrating what he called a “major WIN” in his lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board over its 2018 award to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their coverage of the Russia probe.

          The president declared the board’s defense was “viciously rejected” by a Florida appellate court, which denied its motion to pause proceedings until Trump leaves office.

          Trump took to Truth Social to praise the decision and slam the reporting as “fake” and “malicious”:

          BREAKING! In a major WIN in our powerful lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board regarding the illegal and defamatory “Award” of their once highly respected “Prize,” to fake, malicious stories on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, by the Failing New York Times and the Washington Compost, the Florida Appellate Court viciously rejected the Defendants’ corrupt attempt to halt the case. They won a Pulitzer Prize for totally incorrect reporting about the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax. Now they admit it was a SCAM, never happened, and their reporting was totally wrong, in fact, the exact opposite of the TRUTH. They’ll have to give back their “Award.” They were awarded for false reporting, and we can’t let that happen in the United States of America. We are holding the Fake News Media responsible for their LIES to the American People, so we can, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

          At the heart of the case is the board’s public defense of its Pulitzer-winning coverage. Trump sued for defamation in 2022, arguing that the board’s statements supporting the reporting – despite the Mueller probe finding no evidence of collusion – amounted to “malicious” and “false” claims.

          Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled against the board’s attempt to delay the suit on constitutional grounds. Judges dismissed arguments that continuing the case would unconstitutionally interfere with a sitting president’s official duties, a line of attack the court called “misplaced.”

          “Such privileges are afforded to the President alone, not to his litigation adversaries,” the opinion reads, adding that only the person entitled to immunity may assert it, and that Trump had made no such attempt.

          The board had argued that allowing the case to proceed would violate due process, particularly since Trump himself has previously invoked presidential privilege to pause lawsuits against him.

          The decision clears the way for the case to continue, allowing Trump to maintain pressure on the Pulitzer Board.

          Trump Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize For Middle East Policy

            Former President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize yet again.

            New York. Rep. Claudia Tenney (R) nominated Trump for the prize over his “historic” Abraham Accords treaty.

            “Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace agreements in the Middle East in almost 30 years,” Tenney told Fox News Digital in a statement. “For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ‘professionals’, and international organizations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false.”

            Tenney also noted that the prize has been awarded in the past for the peace accord between Israel and Egypt in 1978 as well as the Oslo Accords in 1994. However, there has been no recognition for Trump’s role in brokering an agreement between Israel and four of its Arab neighbors.

            “The valiant efforts by President Trump in creating the Abraham Accords were unprecedented and continue to go unrecognized by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, underscoring the need for his nomination today. Now more than ever, when Joe Biden’s weak leadership on the international stage is threatening our country’s safety and security, we must recognize Trump for his strong leadership and his efforts to achieve world peace. I am honored to nominate former President Donald Trump today and am eager for him to receive the recognition he deserves,” Tenney said.

            Trump, who is currently leading in the Republican primaries, has been nominated for the Abraham Accords peace agreement several times but did not receive the award during his presidency.

            In 2020, Trump was nominated a third time by a group of Australian lawmakers.

            “What he has done with the Trump Doctrine is that he has decided he would no longer have America involved in endless wars, wars which achieve nothing but the killing of thousands of young Americans and enormous debts imposed on America,” Australian legal scholar David Flint told Sky News Australia at the time. “He’s reducing America’s tendency to get involved in any and every war.”

            The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced in October.

            Trump Adviser Details ‘Utterly Surreal’ Escape From Middle East

              Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to President Trump, is recounting what he called an “utterly surreal” escape from the Middle East after joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran triggered retaliatory attacks across the region.

              Bruesewitz said he was in Doha, Qatar, “just as the Iranian attacks erupted, leaving me stranded amid the chaos,” according to a Monday post on X that included video footage he recorded of Iranian rockets streaking across the sky above Qatar. He said he, Qatari lobbyist Jay Footlik and TikToker Sarah Gaither were scrambling to find a way home.

              “The past 72 hours have been utterly surreal, like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. Iranian missiles were flying directly over my head,” Bruesewitz wrote.

              In an interview with Politico, Bruesewitz said he sought “refuge in Qatar” and reached out to Qatari, Saudi, U.S. and White House officials for assistance. Those he contacted included White House deputy chief of staff James Blair and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.).

              Luna wrote on X that she was “actively coordinating with the Trump administration” and with Gulf embassies to help evacuate U.S. citizens from the region, “including my close friend and a dear friend of President Trump, @alexbruesewitz.”

              Bruesewitz expressed gratitude to Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and his government for their “unparalleled” care and “exceptional assistance and wavering commitment to my safety during my time in Doha.”

              “Second, a heartfelt thank you to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for providing top-tier security during my time there, and for ensuring that the other Americans and I could safely board our flight and depart the Gulf without incident,” he wrote. “It was also remarkable to witness the Qataris and Saudies collaborating seamlessly to protect American lives, they are both incredible allies.”

              He also thanked U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle “and her great staff on the ground for ensuring that our flight was able to successfully land in Athens on such short notice.”

              Bruesewitz said he has since arrived in Europe “and will be home soon.”

              The U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran on Saturday, which killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, prompted a wave of retaliatory Iranian attacks targeting several Gulf allies. In response, the U.S. government ordered American citizens across the Middle East to depart immediately, citing reports that Iran had struck U.S. embassies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

              The State Department has instructed Americans to leave Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen due to “serious safety risks.”

              FROM THE DESK OF DONALD TRUMP JR. Democrats tried to rig the census by counting millions of illegal immigrants — giving blue states more power in Congress. Now we’re making sure only American citizens are counted. But first, we need to verify our own records. CONFIRM YOUR VOTER INFORMATION NOW.

              CNN Commentator Suggests He’ll Run for Senate if Trump Tells Him To

              CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings signaled that he would run for Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) seat in 2026 if President Donald Trump tells him to.

              During an interview with Jennings on the Real America’s Voice show Bolling!, host Eric Bolling asked, “A lot of people are floating your name to take over, to jump into Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat next year in ’26. You thinking about it?”

              “Yeah, I haven’t made any announcements about that,” replied Jennings, who worked as a special assistant for former President George W. Bush. “There’s three people in the race, I know them all, like them all, have been in and out of their lives in varying degrees over the years. I’ve supported them all in various endeavors, so I’m confident the seat will remain Republican.”

              He continued, “I do think politics is a team sport, and I think Trump’s the head coach. And eventually he’s gonna weigh in on this, and my political advice would be to anybody, you know, if he calls a play, we’re gonna have to run it. I wouldn’t want to run against the president in Kentucky. So, I don’t really have any announcement about it at the moment.”

              After Bolling pressed, “If Trump taps you, you’re gonna run?” Jennings said cryptically, “I pay very close attention to everything the president says.”

              McConnell, who has held his Senate seat since 1985, announced in February he would not seek re-election in 2026 amid growing concerns over his health.

              Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY), former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and businessman Nate Morris have all declared their candidacy in the race.

              US And Ukrainian Officials To Convene In Saudi Arabia For Peace Discussions

              Senior officials from the United States and Ukraine are scheduled to meet in Saudi Arabia next Wednesday to discuss efforts to end the ongoing war with Russia. This meeting marks the first significant dialogue between the two nations following a public dispute between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Oval Office last week.

              The scheduling of the meeting was finalized during a phone call between White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Zelensky’s Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak. President Zelensky mentioned in Brussels that both nations have resumed talks and anticipates a productive meeting.

              Ukrainian officials remain open to signing the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal that was put on hold last week.

              The Hill reports:

              The meeting signals a thawing of relations between the U.S. and Ukraine that ruptured abruptly following an explosive Oval Office confrontation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

              “We are now in discussion to coordinate a meeting with the Ukrainians in Riyadh or even potentially Jeddah,” Witkoff told reporters outside the White House.

              “So the city is moving around a little bit, but it will be Saudi Arabia. And I think the idea is to get down a framework for a peace agreement and an initial ceasefire as well.”

              The meeting comes on the heels of a previous similar U.S.-Russia meeting in Riyadh.

              Zelensky has sought to repair relations with Trump following the Oval Office debacle, the fallout including Trump halting military assistance to Ukraine and cutting off intelligence sharing with the Ukrainians, harming Kyiv’s ability to hit high-value Russian targets.

              The international community will be closely monitoring these discussions, hoping they lead to a sustainable resolution to the conflict.

              Father Cancer Survivor DJ Daniel Runs For Texas 18th District Seat

                Theodis Daniel, the father of Devarjay “DJ” Daniel, is jumping into the political arena.

                Speaking first to Fox News Digital, Daniel said he’s ready to fight for Texas’ 18th congressional district. 

                Daniel joins a crowded field of candidates from across the political spectrum, but the father and veteran said his campaign is unlike the others. 

                “I’m a regular guy. I am not a politician,” Daniel said. “I don’t have six-figure deals. I’m just a regular dude trying to make it. Single dad. I got three kids to myself. I’m a disabled veteran just trying to make a difference regardless of what I’m going through.”

                The Republican candidate said he is running “for those who struggle,” explaining that his campaign priorities – supporting law enforcement, safety, healthcare and education – aren’t just abstract ideas but “battles my family and I face every day.”

                Daniel’s 13-year-old son, DJ, was named an honorary U.S. Secret Service agent during President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress earlier this year. Daniel proudly raised his son up over his shoulder as politicians jumped to their feet for a standing ovation.

                The moment catapulted Daniel into the national conversation, and the 13-year-old was invited to visit Trump at the White House the following day. 

                Daniel has now been sworn in at more than 1,300 law enforcement agencies across the country, the White House confirmed in May.

                 

                “DJ initially had five months to live, and we’ve beaten that,” Daniel shared with Fox News. 

                Texas is holding a special election on Nov. 4 to replace the late Rep. Sylvester Turner, who succeeded the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. 

                Lee represented Texas’ 18th congressional district for nearly three decades before her death in July 2024. Turner also died in March 2025, leading to the current special election.

                Alea Nadeem for Congress (OH-06) From escaping Saddam’s tyranny to fighting terrorists after 9/11, I’ve never backed down. Now I’m running to defeat a 44-year swamp Democrat. Stand with me — donate today!
