::THE SLICE REPORT WITH MONA AUSTIN

  Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer strongly criticized President Trump’s handling of the war in Iran, calling it “Operation Epic Failure” instead of the “total and complete victory” Trump claimed. Schumer argued that the conflict has made multiple global and domestic issues worse, including instability in the Strait of Hormuz, rising gas prices, increased inflation, and weakened U.S. credibility with allies. He also warned that Iran’s nuclear ambitions remain unresolved and that adversaries like Russia are benefiting from the disruption. At home, Schumer said Americans are facing economic strain through higher costs and declining consumer confidence. Schumer accused Republicans in Congress of failing to provide oversight or accountability, saying they have avoided challenging Trump’s actions out of political fear. He emphasized that Congress has a constitutional responsibility in matters of war. To counter this, Schumer announced that Senate Democrats will push for a War Powers...

By Mona Austin Weeks after Pres. Donald Trump's Spiritual Advisor Paula White Cain praised him for being chosen by God at an Easter Luncheon, he posted an illustration portraying himself releasing supernatural power.

The already volatile standoff between the United States and Iran entered a new and uncertain phase this week after Vice President J.D. Vance returned from negotiations without a deal — and the White House moved forward with a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most strategically important waterways on the planet. Talks Collapse Over Uranium Freeze Timeline According to U.S. officials, one of the central sticking points in the talks was the duration of a uranium‑enrichment pause. Iran reportedly pushed for a 5‑year freeze , while the U.S. insisted on a 20‑year halt as part of any long‑term de‑escalation framework. Without agreement on that core issue — and with no progress on securing the Strait of Hormuz — Vance left Islamabad empty‑handed. Analysts say the inability to guarantee safe passage for global shipping remains one of the most critical unresolved problems. A Blockade and a Message Shortly after the talks collapsed, the administration announced a naval blockade...
