President Donald Trump has pardoned former U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm, a New York Republican who resigned from Congress after a tax fraud conviction. The pardon was disclosed Wednesday by a White House official who requested anonymity before an official announcement. Grimm, a former Marine and FBI agent, pleaded guilty in late 2014 to underreporting wages and revenue at a restaurant he ran in Manhattan.

Newly uncovered online messages have shed light on the deeply troubling mindset of Elias Rodriguez, the pro-Palestinian gunman who murdered two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum last week. Rodriguez, a 31-year-old Chicago resident, was arrested at the scene of the May 21 attack, which claimed the lives of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim — two young diplomats who were leaving a reception when gunfire erupted.

A healthy marriage is the bedrock of a stable home, and stable homes are the bedrock of a healthy society. Research consistently shows that children thrive in environments where parents have positive, stable relationships, while exposure to marital conflict can lead to various emotional and behavioral challenges, such as increased anxiety and depression and impaired social and academic functioning.

Iran’s Channel 2 published a report on D.C. terrorist Elias Rodriquez, praising him as an “American Yahya Sinwar” who “sent two Zionist dogs to hell in a martyrdom operation.” The newscaster lauded the murders on American soil as  “a new axis of resistance that has been born.” The broadcast also showed UP President Trump in the crosshairs, claiming that he ordered that “anyone who as much as whispered a word about Israel would be choked silent.” “The American police were ordered to choke all American youth,” the narrator said. “But Rodriguez was already choked by the world’s silence about the murder of people, by the world’s stifling.” It’s intriguing that Iran dares to post a video with Trump in the crosshairs while simultaneously holding “talks” with the US.
