Trump Won't Submit Budget Request Without Iran and DHS 'Stability'

The war in Iran and the Department of Homeland Security shutdown are pushing President Donald Trump’s budget request for fiscal 2027 far beyond the standard delivery window, Trumpworld insiders say.

How Democrats' Warped Compassion is Shielding Iran's Killers

That ancient diagnosis of misplaced compassion now echoes with terrifying precision in the Democratic Party’s swift condemnations of President Donald Trump’s decisive military campaign against the Iranian regime. Just weeks after Iran’s rulers massacred thousands of their own citizens in the January 2026 uprising — estimates range from 3,000 confirmed deaths to as many as 36,000 — the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury.

Trump made clear the goal: End the threat once and for all and let the Iranian people reclaim their nation.
