Inside Operation Midnight Hammer: US dropped 14 bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s nuclear sites in biggest ever B-2 raid

The US strike on Iranian nuclear sites — dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer” — was the biggest ever attack by B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, and the longest flight the aircraft have made since 2001.

It also marked the first time that the US used the massive, 15-ton GBU-57 bunker buster bombs in combat, dropping 14 of them on Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites.

The highly coordinated strike took Tehran by utter surprise Saturday night, with the terrorist state not launching any attacks at incoming American military personnel, according to Chief of the Joint Staff Gen. Dan Caine.

Michael Higgins: The woke ideology that allowed authorities to sit back as children were raped

Is it any wonder this went on so long?

The horror of what can befall a society in the sway of wokeism’s toxic ideology was revealed in England this week, with a report detailing how children as young as 10 were raped on an almost industrial scale by predatory gangs, while authorities did nothing.

Social workers, police, judges and politicians were so afraid of being called racist, they allowed this evil abuse of society’s most vulnerable to flourish for more than a decade and a half.

What does striking Iran mean for Trump foreign policy — and his voters?

A Republican president enters a faraway war, despite questions about the intelligence underpinning the attack. America has been here before.

President Trump’s rise was, in part, the response of US voters to political leaders embroiling the military in unpopular foreign conflicts, especially the lengthy deployment to Iraq launched by a Republican predecessor, George W Bush, based on flimsy accounts of weapons of mass destruction.

“My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier,” Trump concluded in his inaugural address. “We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”

Carney heads to Europe with military spending on the agenda

Prime Minister Mark Carney departs Sunday to meet with European and NATO allies amid heightened tension in the Middle East and mere hours after the United States joined Israel’s war with Iran.

The first stop will be in Brussels on Monday, where the prime minister is expected to sign a comprehensive security and defence partnership with the European Union.

U.S. President Donald Trump bailed early on last week’s G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., saying he was needed at the White House to deal with the evolving war where Israel is attempting to not only destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities, but to instigate regime change.

Carney comes bearing grifts for his EU and WEF pals.

I suspect the talk of adopting Trump’s desired goal of a 5% NATO spend is just hot air.

Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans

In March, President Trump signed an executive order calling for the federal government to share data across agencies, raising questions over whether he might compile a master list of personal information on Americans that could give him untold surveillance power.

Mr. Trump has not publicly talked about the effort since. But behind the scenes, officials have quietly put technological building blocks into place to enable his plan. In particular, they have turned to one company: Palantir, the data analysis and technology firm.

The Trump administration has expanded Palantir’s work across the federal government in recent months. The company has received more than $113 million in federal government spending since Mr. Trump took office, according to public records, including additional funds from existing contracts as well as new contracts with the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon. (This does not include a $795 million contract that the Department of Defense awarded the company last week, which has not been spent.)

This NYTimes hit piece seems very concerned that Trump will use the program to track their precious illegal aliens or Deep State fraudsters.

The Times never objected to the FBI surveilling Catholics to my knowledge.

Sex predator can stay because home country can’t treat his mental illness

A dangerous sexual predator has been allowed to stay in the UK after claiming his home country could not treat his mental illness.

An immigration tribunal backed the Bangladeshi man’s claims that he should be allowed to stay in the UK despite his convictions for a violent sexual assault on a stranger when he was 17.

The Metropolitan Police also provided evidence that he had carried out further sexual offences in the decade since the assault even though he had not been convicted of them.

A ‘Rooftop Korean’ who defended his LA business with a shotgun reveals what it was really like during the ‘92 riots

LOS ANGELES — It’s been more than three decades since Yongsik Lee grabbed a shotgun and climbed to the top of his furniture store during the 1992 Los Angeles riots — becoming one of the infamous era’s “Rooftop Koreans.”

After protesters once again squared off with cops on LA’s streets — this time over federal raids targeting migrants — the armed vigilantes who defended the city’s Koreatown are back in vogue.

The “rooftop Koreans” became a viral punchline and meme for anyone who worried LA was descending into violence, and thought Mayor Karen Bass wasn’t doing enough to crack down.

AOC, furious Dems call for Trump to be impeached over Iran strikes

Progressive Squad Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a chorus of Democrats called on President Trump to be impeached after he decided to bomb top nuclear facilities of Iran — blasting the move as “unconstitutional.”

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared not long after Trump announced the attack.

What we know about US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities

President Donald Trump says the US has carried out a “successful” bombing attack on three nuclear sites in Iran and said they have been “obliterated”.

Israel says they were in “full co-ordination” with the US in planning the strikes. Iranian officials have confirmed the facilities were struck but denied it had suffered a major blow.

The strikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing war between Iran and Israel.

How Iran could retaliate after US strike

Ahead of Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, his defence chiefs will have war-gamed possible retaliation.

Washington has put its 40,000 troops deployed in the Middle East, including in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, on high alert amid escalating tensions.

Now that America has attacked key Iranian nuclear sites with what is reported to be six bunker buster munitions, US defence chiefs will be bracing for a response.

Dearborn may as well be Tehran. The GTA is host to a strong network of SHIA Mosques.

Mark Carney’s minority government has an unexpected partner in the Conservatives — for now

OTTAWA—There’s a new coalition in town.

If the last Parliament was dominated by the Conservatives’ insistence that the Liberal-NDP alliance had spun the country into an irreversible state of disarray, the opening weeks of the latest session has put a new pact on the map.

“It appears to me, and it remains to be seen, that (Prime Minister) Carney’s new majority coalition is Liberal-Conservative, delivering Pierre Poilievre’s policies with a more friendly face,” said the Green Party’s Elizabeth May on Monday, as she raised the alarm over C-5, the Liberals’ major projects bill.

London’s graffiti-riddled corpse is a warning of our apocalyptic future

It is a short walk from my door to one of London’s busiest arteries. The first two minutes of the walk are usually pleasant, especially in summer, when a luscious thatch of untrimmed leaves bow down from the road’s many trees. There is the occasional roar of an accelerating driver drunk on testosterone and the odd shouting voice, but mostly it’s people padding along with their dogs and neighbours chatting.

But then the idyll ends. The road that leads up to the Tube station and the artery has a major bus stop, a rubbish collection point, a taxi rank, and a Deliveroo rider rank. This culminates in one of London’s most persistent homeless encampments, with tents, begging, traipsing, drug-taking, drinking and Tube loitering. The permanent residence for two cackling women is a stinking underpass. There are more stragglers and smells in the unavoidable (above ground) cement passage required to rejoin the pavement going north.
