President Trump called out Iran and issued new threats of annihilation if they do not make a deal with the United States during his speech at the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.

President Trump opened his speech, declaring that “America is back, and our country is stronger today than ever before,” and boasting of his accomplishments in turning a “dark age of America” into “the golden age of America.”

He then took aim at Iran, calling out the Islamic Republic straight to its representatives’ faces.

“As president of the most extraordinary nation in history, I have no interest in leaving dangers to grow for another day,” he told the assembly. “I do not believe in letting problems fester; they only become harder to solve. So, while others have talked, I have acted.”

After declaring that Iran is no longer “the bully of the Middle East,” Trump told the world leaders, “Upon taking office last year, I immediately opened negotiations with Iran and offered them full economic cooperation in exchange for ending their nuclear program and support for terror, but they refused. They absolutely refused. That was a big mistake.”

“After giving Iran every chance for a deal, I took action to ensure that neither the United States nor any nation, and it’s all, would ever have to face such a nightmare, such a catastrophic problem,” he added, noting that Iran’s capability as a civilization has been mostly destroyed. “Yet, even after we agreed to a ceasefire for nuclear discussions, Iran promptly violated it with brazen acts of terrorism against civilian ships from other countries.”

Trump then issued the threat of total annihilation, saying, “I have a big decision to make: Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?”

“But I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election because it doesn’t make sense for them not to. They’re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election. What they don’t realize is that I’m not running. I did that already, and won in a landslide. We won in a giant landslide, and I’ll be here for two and a half years,” he said. “I gave absolutely no credence and will not give credence to the election when it comes to Iran. It doesn’t even enter my mind. The only thing that does is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.”

Trump further addressed reporting on munitions stockpiles, warning Iran that “We have more munitions than we could ever possibly even think of using, and we’re building them at levels that we have never done before,” including 18 “massive” new munition plants that will be completed “very quickly.”

At one point, as Trump vowed to “never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” the cameras panned to an Iranian diplomat as Trump appeared to stare him down.

Transcript:

Every leader in this room , and you’re great leaders, many great leaders, I know all of you very well, but they know that given only a short time to make this world better, safer, and more prosperous for our children, for the people on Earth. We have to take advantage of it. As president of the most extraordinary nation in history, I have no interest in leaving dangers to grow for another day.

I do not believe in letting problems fester; they only become harder to solve. So, while others have talked, I have acted. While others have spoken of peace, I have made peace. While others have ignored threats, I have confronted them. While others have talked of courage, America has shown it. While others have promised strength, I have used it to make America the most powerful country in the world. Working with many nations in this room, we are solving decades of intractable challenges, and we are settling years of unfinished business. And we’re doing it well.

There is no better example of a danger that was allowed to gather strength at the world’s peril than the number one sponsor of terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran. For 51 years, the fanatical Iranian regime has ruled by bloodshed and mass murder, spreading death and carnage and chaos across the entire Middle East and beyond. They were the bully of the Middle East, but they are the bully no more.

From the first day I entered the political arena, have been unwavering. I will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Upon taking office last year, I immediately opened negotiations with Iran and offered them full economic cooperation in exchange for ending their nuclear program and support for terror, but they refused. They absolutely refused. That was a big mistake.

Then, in Operation Midnight Hammer, the U.S. military obliterated their nuclear program beneath mountains of rubble, and again I urged Iran to make a deal, and again, they refused. The regime continued building a vast missile and drone stockpile that threatened the security of every American service member in the region and everyone else in the region. They also made a missile that was capable of hitting Europe, and they were very proud of it. I hope the Europeans realize that.

Iran’s goal was to complete their mad dash to a nuclear bomb from behind this conventional ballistic missile shield. If they had succeeded, that wicked regime would have been free to spread terror and death forever, knowing that any attempt to stop them would face an arsenal of nuclear annihilation. In America, we just marked the 25th anniversary of the worst terror attack in history, September 11th, which killed 3,000 people just a few miles from here. It was an unbelievably terrible time. In two weeks, we will mark the third anniversary of the October 7th attack in Israel, where terrorists funded by Iran tortured, mutilated, and killed 1,200 very innocent civilians, including dozens of Americans and many babies— babies, little tiny beautiful babies.

Iran’s supreme leader celebrated that massacre and called it a service to humanity. The same regime slaughtered over 72,000 of its citizens this year. Recently, 10,000 were killed for protesting. Just imagine such a vile regime were ever empowered to carry out large-scale terror attacks from behind a nuclear shield. This was the reality we had to confront, a reality that far too many preferred to ignore. They all ignored it. Many presidents and many others just wanted to ignore it. They were unwilling to do anything about it, but they knew the problem.

After giving Iran every chance for a deal, I took action to ensure that neither the United States nor any nation, and it’s all, would ever have to face such a nightmare, such a catastrophic problem. As a result of Operation Epic Fury, all 159 ships of their navy are now lying at the bottom of the sea. Likewise, their air force is gone, their radar is gone, their anti-aircraft equipment is gone, their missiles and drone manufacturing capacity is almost gone, their economy is gone. The only thing that isn’t gone is inflation, which is destroying their country and is now well over 300 percent.

Yet, even after we agreed to a ceasefire for nuclear discussions, Iran promptly violated it with brazen acts of terrorism against civilian ships from other countries. I want to thank the UN Security Council for voting overwhelmingly to pass a resolution condemning Iran’s despicable terrorist attacks on commercial shipping. Thank you very much. That resolution, I’m pleased to say, received more co-sponsors from UN member nations than any Security Council resolution in history. That’s something. Now we must be equally united in maintaining pressure.

The United States Navy has recently escorted more than 1 billion barrels of oil out of the Strait of Hormuz, and more oil is flowing than at any point since the start of the war. We’re taking 22, 25, 30, 32, and 37 ships out, respectively, every single day, every single night.

But I have a big decision to make: Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?

But I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election because it doesn’t make sense for them not to. They’re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election. What they don’t realize is that I’m not running. I did that already, and won in a landslide. We won in a giant landslide, and I’ll be here for two and a half years. The Republican Party is running, and I’ll be helping them, but I am not running.

I gave absolutely no credence and will not give credence to the election when it comes to Iran. It doesn’t even enter my mind. The only thing that does is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. The cowards and traitors— thank you, thank you— the cowards and traitors would love to say “the United States is low on munitions,” but that’s not true. We have more munitions than we could ever possibly even think of using, and we’re building them at levels that we have never done before. We are adding to our stockpiles faster than we have ever been able to do before. Top of the line stuff.

In addition, in the very near future, massive munition plants will be opening. There are 18 of them being built by the greatest defense companies in the world right now, 18 under construction, some of them very quickly will be completed. They’re almost there, and that rapid construction will be leading to very rapid deployment of missiles of every type and ammunition of every type, and we’ll be able to supply our allies at a much faster rate than we’re doing right now.

I call on all nations to join us in enforcing the complete economic isolation of Iran until they stop their attacks on commercial shipping, relinquish their nuclear ambitions and cease their support of terror. The terrorist regime is behaving badly, not because they are strong and confident, but because they are weak and desperate. If we stand united, we will soon see a world free of the last 51-year menace of Iranian terror, and oil prices will come plummeting down even lower than they were at the start of the conflict, and they were very low in the United States. They were really low. With courage and resolve, anything is possible. Big changes can happen and happen fast.

Minnesota’s Democrat Senate nominee keeps telling voters she is “appalled” by the state’s historic welfare theft. The problem is the woman standing next to her in that viral hijab video, the one Flanagan called a friend of nearly 25 years, is now running an autism center the state has kicked off Medicaid and placed under investigation.

Nimco Ahmed, CEO of Minneapolis-based Milestone Development Center, appeared beside then-Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan at Karmel Mall in December 2025.

Flanagan, a Catholic, wrapped herself in a hijab for Somali TV and declared the Somali community “part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota.” Then she gestured to Ahmed and talked about their friendship of “almost 25 years.”

That same Ahmed is a longtime DFL activist, a former DFL state director, and president of the Somali American Coalition.

She is also listed as CEO of Milestone. Minnesota Department of Human Services officials have now confirmed open investigations into Milestone and a second provider, Spectrum Therapy Center.

Both were terminated from the Medicaid program months ago during the state’s Revalidate 2026 review. Both providers have appealed the decision, Fox News reported.

“These agencies are on our radar,” a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital. Officials say they cannot legally disclose the details of an open probe. They can say this much: the agencies failed the state’s credential-and-compliance check and lost the ability to bill Medicaid.

Whistleblower: Clients Didn’t Look Autistic, Notes Weren’t Written, Owner “Didn’t Seem to Care”

Alpha News broke the story first. Former therapist Grant Morgan told Liz Collin he worked at Milestone for about two months in late 2023 and also spent time at Spectrum. He described both as low-quality operations with almost no professional oversight.

Morgan said he never saw a Qualified Supervising Professional or Board Certified Behavior Analyst on site at Milestone — the people who are supposed to supervise Medicaid-funded autism care.

Practitioners, he said, had “barely any knowledge” of applied behavior analysis. He was never asked to write a session note, even though those notes are how providers justify billing the state. Treatments looked ineffective. Some clients, he said, did not appear to be autistic at all.

He kept receipts. An email from 2023 recorded his belief that the clients did not look autistic. A text from the same period said he planned to leave because of fraud concerns and because “the owner, Nimco, didn’t seem to care.”

When Morgan later saw Flanagan standing next to Ahmed in that hijab clip, he said he was shocked.

“She did not seem like someone that someone on the political stage should associate with,” Morgan told Alpha News. “She seemed like a bad person.”

He went further: “I think it’s very likely that Peggy was intentionally trying to help out bad actors. And I’ll even say I think there’s a chance that she was directly involved in the fraud herself. I think that is very possible.”

Ahmed denied the allegations, accused Alpha News of “bias,” and claimed the outlet chased the story because she is Somali.

She said every child has a diagnosis, the center follows state steps “very seriously,” and it is “regularly audited.” Spectrum’s owner also denied wrongdoing.

DHS still terminated both shops from Medicaid and opened investigations anyway.

This is what a Republican Senator is doing weeks before the midterms.

GOP Senator John Curtis (UT) is targeting Don Jr. after Propublica reported that a Russian Oligarch close to Putin ‘funded’ the First Son’s wedding.

Curtis also asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena Hunter Biden over his business dealings with Ukraine and China.

Propublica reported that Don Jr.’s wedding to Bettina Anderson “was heavily funded by a secret benefactor: Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch close to President Vladimir Putin.”

“Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses, according to records reviewed by ProPublica and interviews with three people familiar with the event. The oligarch paid to rent out one of the private islands, where a reception was held and where guests slept. He also covered other big-ticket items, like the fireworks show, and his team helped plan the event. Kremlev is the head of the International Boxing Association, a scandal-plagued sports group that has been financed by the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom. The wedding payments came from an IBA-affiliated entity in Dubai that the boxing association uses for financial transactions,” the outlet reported.

In a letter to Chuck Grassley, John Curtis asked the Committee to subpoena Don Jr.

“A toaster is a wedding gift. A private-island party paid for by a Putin-connected oligarch is something else. Republicans nearly wore out the subpoena machine investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign relationships. We should not unplug it now. ‘Trust us’ was not enough then, and it is not enough now.

“Americans deserve confidence that public institutions serve them — not presidents, political parties, wealthy interests, or members of powerful families,” Curtis continued. “Congress has an obligation to pursue credible concerns wherever they lead and without regard to party.”

CBS News reported:

GOP Sen. John Curtis of Utah asked the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden for testimony regarding their business dealings, relationships with foreign individuals and entities and gifts they received, after recent revelations about a Russian oligarch’s financial involvement in the wedding of President Trump’s eldest son.

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa and ranking member Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Curtis asked that the committee “launch an investigation into the use of presidential family relationships for private financial benefit, preferential treatment, or access by domestic and foreign interests.” As part of that investigation, he urged the committee to subpoena the eldest son of President Trump and the son of former President Joe Biden.

Curtis pointed in the letter to Hunter Biden conducting “substantial business” with foreign entities, including in China and Ukraine, while his father was in office or seeking office. And he wrote that more recently, questions have surfaced about Donald Trump Jr.’s relationships with foreign business figures and “the acceptance of significant gifts.”

“These include a lavish wedding afterparty, on a private island, provided by Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, who reportedly traveled to China as part of a delegation accompanying Vladimir Putin shortly before giving the gift,” Curtis wrote.

Last week President Trump was asked about Don Jr.’s wedding.

“Why is it appropriate for your son to accept a gift, a payment for his wedding festivities?” a reporter asked Trump.

“It’s totally allowed and a lot of people have parties, but as I understand he paid him back,” Trump said to reporters in the Oval Office.

Stanford University, an institution that receives hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding, was caught red-handed using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to digitally erase a student and replace him with an AI-generated Black woman in university promotional materials.

The conservative campus paper The Stanford Review reported Monday that Stanford Residential & Dining Enterprises took a photograph shot by a university photographer, ran it through AI, and published the doctored result as advertising.

Sophomore Billy Ramirez recognized the original shot. In the banner that went out, he was gone. In his place: an AI-generated Black woman. Two students to his right were also digitally slimmed down and had their faces altered.

“I was driving to school from my hometown when my friend sent me the images comparing the banner to the original photos, and I was immediately baffled,” Ramirez told The Stanford Review.

“At first, I found it hilarious that they had used AI to completely change our appearances, including my race and gender. But after looking at the comparison, I was also upset because I don’t agree with Stanford making those choices about how we were represented. Seeing my identity changed and being left out of the picture made me feel, in a way, silenced and erased from a representation that was supposed to include me.”

Stanford just used AI to race swap a student for their advertisements. pic.twitter.com/xXjixdIyjU

Hypocritically, Stanford’s own written AI guidelines for marketing and communications make the violation even more blatant.

The university’s policy states that “any application involving the creation of synthetic media depicting real individuals is not permitted without explicit consent.” It also requires disclosure when AI-generated or AI-manipulated images could mislead people about what is real, and it forbids content that falsely depicts Stanford people.

Yet campus bureaucrats appear to ignore their own ethics rules when pushing political agendas.

None of this should surprise anyone who has watched Stanford for the last several years.

The Gateway Pundit has documented the university’s DEI machinery repeatedly. In 2022 Stanford published its infamous “Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative,” a list that treated the word “American” as problematic because it supposedly implied the United States was the most important country in the Americas.

“Grandfather,” “brave,” and “long time no see” were also on the chopping block. After national ridicule they walked it back, but the impulse never left.

In 2024, TGP reported that Stanford was still demanding DEI statements from students applying to an engineering marketing class, creating what one student called a “culture of fear.”

This June, TGP reported that a Stanford education initiative was handing out seed grants for an AI project on “labor equity” for “undocumented migrant adults,” plus other racialized research titles, even after the university claimed it had wound down underrepresented-group programming.

The Justice Department has also been examining whether Stanford and other medical schools are still using race in admissions after Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.

The corporate media outlets just can’t help themselves when it comes to President Trump, and one certain journalist got exactly what she deserved when trying to harass him.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported earlier, Trump will deliver remarks at the United Nations General Assembly in New York today in what is expected to be an unapologetically boastful speech about American greatness and hegemony in the world.

This year’s address comes amid the ongoing war with Iran, which Trump is also expected to discuss.

As Trump arrived at the UN headquarters today with First Lady Melania Trump, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and other reporters started yelling at him in an effort to get a moment with him.

Trump quickly recognized Collins in the crowd and hilariously mocked the network for their obsession with him.

“I’m surprised that CNN is here covering me. You shouldn’t be here. You should not be here covering me!” he said.

WATCH:

LMAO! President Trump arrived at the United Nations and IMMEDIATELY started clowning on CNN and Kaitlan Collins

TRUMP: It’s an honor to be here. I’m surprised that CNN is here covering me. You shouldn’t be here. You should not be here covering me!

You said you weren’t going to cover me. You shouldn’t be covering me!

But I will say it’s an honor to be at the United Nations, and we’re making a lot of progress. Our country is doing really well.

Thank you very much, everybody!

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Major Television networks agreed to suspend coverage of President Trump in the TV pool after CNN was barred from participating in pool duties on Monday.

President Trump announced on Friday that CNN, Politico, and MS Now would be banned from the White House “effective immediately.”

But once again, the media just proved that Trump is irresistible. What will they do once he exits the political scene for good?

October is when “surprises” happen.

Election manipulation. Flu talk. Another “what if” story on TV while you stand in a pharmacy line with coughing people that doesn’t move.

You don’t need a scare to feel this. You’ve already been there. The clinic is closed. The pharmacy is empty. And your hand hits an empty shelf where the prescription should be.

What waiting actually costs

An average ER bill around $2,200 is bad enough. The hours under bright hospital lights are worse. Kids at home. A spouse in the parking lot. Time crawling by while you wait for a dose you could have had at home.

More than 34 million Americans have their healthcare access disrupted every year. Flu season puts you back in that same pharmacy line. Only now everyone is there for the same reason. And they’re sharing their germs with you.

You keep water and batteries and food at home. But a lot of homes still have only a half bottle of expired cough syrup as the only remedy when the flu hits.

Order this while you’re well

If you wait until the fever hits, it’s too late.

The Medical Emergency Kit from the Wellness Company is urgent care at home. It has 8 prescriptions for 30+ illnesses. A licensed U.S. doctor and a U.S. pharmacy handle it. LegitScript certified.

Inside: key antibiotics, an antifungal, a nausea med, Nobel Prize-winning Ivermectin, a guidebook, a way to talk with a doctor online, and the chance to refill for up to 2 years.

Checkout is a short medical form. A licensed doctor reviews it. Some states ask for a quick video visit. That’s the same kind of steps any real prescription uses. It’s why you order today. On a calm day, when your head is clear.

This kit is shelf insurance. You’re not buying a miracle. You’re buying a filled shelf ahead of time. So Saturday night fever does not start with an empty cabinet and a pharmacy that says it’s closed til Monday.

At about $299.99, the Medical Emergency Kit is one calm-day choice. One average ER night runs about $2,200 before you count the wait. A lot of families spend more than $300 on a weekend trip or a backup generator that sits in the garage. This one sits in the house for when the clinic is closed and the pharmacy lights are off.

Who stands behind it

The Wellness Company has served over 1,000,000 patients and customers.

Its Chief Medical Board on the company site includes Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Dr. Kelly Victory, Dr. Harvey Risch, and Dr. James Thorp. Kits go through licensed U.S. doctors and a U.S. pharmacy. LegitScript Certified.

What people report

People who have the Medical Emergency Kit say they skip the ER wait when an infection hits, keep a kit for travel, and love having meds close by. One said the kit arrived and they got sick soon after, skipped the ER, and felt like themselves again in a few days. Another called it a medical security blanket on a flight to a family graduation.

The company also shares a self-reported survey of people who bought the kit. About 95.8% said they avoided an extra clinic, urgent care, or hospital visit across 333 uses. Results vary from person to person.

How you get it.

You fill out the form. A licensed doctor checks whether you qualify. If yes, free shipping brings it to you about 1–2 weeks later.

You’re stocking the kit before you need it. Each kit is only for the person it is prescribed to. Adults 18 and up. Tell the doctor about allergies on the form. Use it the way your doctor says.

When it matters

It’s nighttime. The thermometer number will not go down. Pharmacy lights are off. Clinic app says it’s closed. Your hand goes to the cabinet.

You either feel the kit there or you feel the empty shelf again.

Get the Medical Emergency Kit on your shelf before flu season and the next night the clinic says it’s closed.
