The new Iranian leaders are “playing” Trump as he was “playing” them early on but the tides of the Strait of Hormuz are turning. How? By slowing down and stopping the oil, gas, fertilizer and cargo ships from leaving the Strait of Hormuz, raising the prices of goods and services as well as oil, gas and fertilizer which will continue to raise the price of food and fuel internationally. That is a given. Is Trump’s “Art of the Deal” failing? That is their (Iran’s leaders) Ace in the hole but the United States could have a Royal Flush.


Is AI Becoming A Twilight Zone Reality?

What do AI and The Twilight Zone have in common? I’m greatly concerned the answer is–more than we think.

From groundbreaking innovation to unsettling developments–like Albania’s first-ever AI-generated virtual minister–this conversation raises critical questions about where we’re headed. Are we stepping into a technological revolution…or something closer to a Twilight Zone reality?

Republicans for Queens United

By Phil Orenstein

The main purpose of participating in the petitioning process is to secure ballot placement for our Republican candidates, but its importance goes far beyond ballot access. Direct voter contact is indispensable. It is the vital link through which our Republican neighbors learn about candidates, upcoming elections, club meetings, and the truth that too often is drowned out by misinformation from social networks and unreliable news sources. It is also at the heart of the work of a Republican county committeeman, what Dan Schultz famously called “the most powerful political office in America,” in explaining the Precinct Strategy.

During March, designating petitions for our local Republican candidates were circulated throughout Queens. Collecting signatures from Republican neighbors helps our candidates qualify for the ballot in the June 23 Primary Election and the November 3 General Election. Securing a place on the ballot is the first critical step toward electing Republicans to public office.


Welson Chang, Republican Candidate for State Assembly District 24, Tackles Local Issues


By Welson Chang

Throughout my career, I have witnessed firsthand how policy decisions can either empower communities or hold them back. I am running for office as a candidate who puts people first, with a vision rooted in abundance—not scarcity. My campaign is grounded in the belief that every individual deserves access to opportunity, affordable living, and the dignity that comes with a just society. I am committed to championing policies that break down barriers, foster innovation, and ensure that prosperity is shared by all.

The status quo has created an environment where too many families struggle to make ends meet, and too many young people graduate school feeling unprepared for the real world. I refuse to accept this as inevitable. Instead, I seek to restore confidence in our institutions and create pathways to success for every citizen, regardless of background. My platform is built on practical solutions and bold reforms that will promote abundance, strengthen our communities, and make our society more affordable and equitable.
