Gulf War Flare-Up: What the Latest U.S.–Iran Strikes Mean for Your Wallet

  The three-month-old war between the U.S.–Israel coalition and Iran escalated again this morning.

U.S. forces struck Iranian coastal radar sites on Saturday, June 6, after shooting down drones launched by Iran toward the Strait of Hormuz, according to the U.S. military.

Trump Grants Pardons to Giuliani and Key Allies in 2020 Election Disputes

President Donald Trump talks with reporters upon his arrival at the White House in Washington, Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025.

This sweeping gesture highlights Trump’s continued loyalty to those who stood by him during one of the most contentious chapters in modern American politics.
