The U.S. State Department has announced that the United States Embassy in Jerusalem will be closed from Wednesday through Friday -- due to the increasing security threat stemming from the ongoing Israel-Iran war.

President Donald Trump's White House team began the process of installing two brand new flagpoles, which the president personally funded, on the grounds of the White House.

If you haven’t noticed, it’s still “Pride Month.” Sorry for reminding you.  You know who will never forget about “Pride Month”? The Left, and the Democratic Party, which for some reason, still believes that it can reach American men while pushing the most ridiculous LGBT talking points out there.  While many Americans have made their frustrations with wokeness heard loud and clear, the Left continues to push “Pride,” even in what should be the unifying pastime of baseball. Earlier this week, the New York Mets bizarrely showed the “Pride” flag on the Citi Field jumbotron while the “Star-Spangled Banner” was being sung, because nothing shows the beauty and power of America like the rainbow flag apparently.   WTF. The @Mets showed a pride flag during the national anthem. Absolutely sickening. pic.twitter.com/9zhc7dUWDx — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) June 15, 2025 Later in the game, the Mets showed two dudes smooching it up while holding a “Pride” flag. Would it surprise you that for the month of June, the Mets changed their logo on social media to “Pride” colors? Hey, at least for Mets fans, their team is still sitting at the top of the league in the standings. But there are few things that men hate more than their beloved sports being injected with leftist politics.  The wokeness of the Left is a losing message with men, especially young men, who are turning to the Republican side at incredible rates. In 2024, men between the ages of 18 and 29 shifted to the Right by 12 points. The problem has become so big for Democrats that they set out to “study young men and how Democrats can reach them.” Maybe just be normal? Cygnal pollster Brent Buchanan told “Morning Wire” this week that cultural issues are the main driver behind young men abandoning the Democratic Party.  “Those cultural issues are essentially proxies for radicalism, and if you don’t see yourself as radical on those issues, then you don’t see yourself as a Democrat right now,” Buchanan said.  The 2024 election showed us that millions of young men don’t want to sign onto the Left’s radical platform, and they’re tired of the culture constantly shoving crazy ideologies. Men want a return to normalcy. They want politicians who don’t scream about radical ideas, they want sports that aren’t steeped in wokeness, and they want companies that don’t push “Pride Month.”  Young men are trending right.

President Donald Trump elaborated on his call for an unconditional “surrender” from Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday. “Unconditional surrender, that means I’ve had it. I’ve had it, I give up. No more. Then we go blow up all of the nuclear stuff that’s all over the place there,” Trump said. On Tuesday, Trump demanded an “unconditional surrender” from the regime, saying the United States knows “exactly” where Khamenei is hiding.

But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.” Khamenei fired back on Wednesday, rejecting Trump’s demand and threatening the United States. He criticized Trump for his “absurd rhetoric” and “demands that the Iranian people surrender to him,” adding that he should “make threats against those who are afraid of being threatened. The Iranian nation isn’t frightened by such threats.” PENTAGON OFFICIAL REMOVED FROM JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF FOR ANTI-ISRAEL POSTS “The harm the US will suffer will definitely be irreparable if they enter this conflict militarily,” Khamenei posted in another tweet. He added in another tweet that it “was already suspected” that the United States was involved in Israel’s attacks, but “considering their recent remarks, this suspicion is growing stronger day by day.” So far, Israel has killed at least 20 of Iran’s top military leaders, damaged key nuclear facilities, destroyed more than a third of Iran’s missile launchers, and hit over 1,100 targets around Iran. Of the 400 missiles fired at Israel, only 20 impacted urban areas, according to the Israeli Defense Forces. Of the 1,000 drones sent to Israel, fewer than 200 reached the Jewish state’s borders, and not a single one impacted. President Trump once again saying "we" captured the air in Iran. pic.twitter.com/c8CLQigtNU — Kassy Akiva (@KassyAkiva) June 18, 2025 During the White House event, Trump also said that “we” have captured Iran’s airspace. Trump made a similar comment on Wednesday, which raised eyebrows due to the U.S. only claiming it has taken indirect actions so far, such as shooting down Iranian missiles. Following Israel’s attack on Iran last Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States was not involved in the assault and warned against the Iranian regime attacking American military personnel stationed in the region. TRUMP HAS BEEN CLEAR FOR 14 YEARS THAT IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON Trump also said the Iranian regime should have made a nuclear deal when he first offered, adding that it has since requested to come to the White House for talks. Iran’s Mission to the United Nations denied that any officials asked to come to the White House in a statement on X. “No Iranian official has ever asked to grovel at the gates of the White House,” the mission posted. “The only thing more despicable than his lies is his cowardly threat to ‘take out’ Iran’s Supreme Leader.” LIVE UPDATES: Trump Calls For Iran To Surrender, Says The Ayatollah Is An ‘Easy Target’ Trump said that “we haven’t won anything yet,” but “we sure as hell made a lot of progress,” adding that the next week or less will “be very big.” “For 40 years they’ve been death to America, death to Israel, death to anybody else that they didn’t like,” Trump said. “They were bullies. They were schoolyard bullies. And now they’re not bullies anymore.”
