The Democrats’ Epic Fury Over Iran Strikes

They invoke the Constitution against Trump — even as history and their own record tell a different story.

It was hardly necessary to consult Nostradamus to predict that the Democrats, who profess to abhor oppressive authoritarian theocracies, would denounce President Trump’s decision to topple the government of Iran — the very definition of such a regime. Nor was it a surprise that they downplay or simply ignore the obvious elation with which the Iranians themselves greeted the long overdue demise of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It is striking, however, that the Democrats fail to see that their reflexive attacks on Trump for taking action against such a dangerous regime and indifference to the response of the Iranian people reinforces the public perception that their party is weak and out of touch.

Anita Anand dodges questions about UN secretary general’s criticism of Iran attack

Canada’s armed forces are ready for emergency pronoun deployment under battlefield conditions.

NEW DELHI — Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is refusing to say whether Canada believes the American and Israeli strikes on Iran that sparked an escalated conflict in the Middle East are consistent with international law, after her government declared support for the action to prevent the Islamic theocracy from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Speaking to reporters instead of Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday — the prime minister cancelled the only news conference of a four-day trip to India — Anand repeatedly refused to say whether she agrees with the head of the United Nations, who condemned the U.S. and Israeli attacks that killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iran’s Top 20 Attacks On The West

Since the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979 — when Democrat President Jimmy Carter capitulated to terrorism — no one has possessed the cojones to challenge Iran’s Islamic Death Cultists. Until now.

What Most People Have Missed About US Use of Low-Cost Drones in Iran

Low-Cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS) 35K each

A lot has happened in the past few days, and with so much news to digest, it’s hard to separate out the wheat, the meat, the chaff, and the offal.

The meat of this metaphor is calorie-dense information that is also mostly of immediate interest. This target was struck, that leader was killed, and this country has stepped in to join us. It’s all very important, but ultimately only relevant to how this particular conflict plays out. Once the dust settles, the overall strategic situation is the only thing that matters, not when some target or another was struck.

I’m ‘very disappointed’ in Starmer over Iran

Donald Trump has told The Telegraph he is “very disappointed” in Sir Keir Starmer for blocking him from using Diego Garcia to carry out strikes on Iran.

In an exclusive interview, the US president said that the Prime Minister’s initial refusal to let US forces use the Chagos Islands base was unlike anything that had “happened between our countries before”.

Britain had denied the US permission to conduct strikes from bases such as Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford, citing international law. However, the Prime Minister relented on Sunday night and said he would allow the US access to Diego Garcia for “specific and limited defensive purposes”.

Texas mass shooter Ndiaga Diagne had Iranian flag and photos of Islamic Republic leaders in his home: report

The murderous gunman who shot up a Texas bar in a possible terrorist attack had an Iranian flag and photos of Islamic Republic leaders in his home, according to a report.

Senegalese national Ndiaga Diagne, 53, may have been motivated by the joint attack by Israel and the US when he pulled up to Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden in Austin on Sunday wearing a “Property of Allah” shirt and started shooting, killing two people and wounding 14 others, officials have said.

The Target For Tonight is … Tehran

Amazing what our forces, and Israel’s forces, were able to do in one day’s work.

I was all set to lay out what I think will be a near-ideal campaign strategy for midterm election success, a strategy that will allow President Trump to strengthen his political hold over Congress during his last two years as president, something that almost no president has achieved in either the 20th or 21st centuries.

Have a laugh at George Galloway!

The hypocrisy of the West’s weepers for the Islamic Republic

I almost feel sorry for the left. For today they’re going to have to pretend to give a damn about Iranian life despite having ignored the slaughter of thousands of Iranians by the demented Islamic regime literally just last month. They’re going to have to take to social media and cry ‘Oh no, Iranians might die’, despite having said nothing when Iranians did die in their thousands at the hands of the theocratic tyrants who rule over them. They’re going to be forced, by events, to make a spectacle of their own depthless hypocrisy, to expose to the world the cant and outright inhumanity that too often fuels what passes for ‘anti-imperialism’ these days.

Iranian sleeper agents have infiltrated the US. Now ex-FBI boss warns of imminent terror attacks on American soil

A former FBI boss has issued a stark warning over fears Iran could activate sleeper agents in the US to carry out terror attacks on American soil as vengeance for Saturday’s bombardment.

Chris Swecker, an assistant FBI director in the mid-2000s, said Hezbollah and other Iran-linked groups may feel they have nothing left to lose after Trump unleashed Operation Epic Fury this weekend.

Swecker told the Daily Mail: ‘We’ve got a cornered animal here, and if ever we’re going to see attacks on the United States, this would be the catalyst for that.’

I wonder why Dearborn has been so quiet.

Trump insiders accused of ‘profiting from war’ after $1m bet on Iran attack

A US senator has accused those close to Donald Trump of “profiting off war and death” in the wake of suspiciously timed bets predicting a US strikes on Iran.

Chris Murphy, a US senator for Connecticut, said he would launch a crackdown on so-called prediction markets after analysts raised concerns about bets on Polymarket.

Bubblemaps, a cryptocurrency analytics company, identified what it said were “six suspected insiders [who] made $1.2m (£892k) betting on a US strike on Iran”.

Ten Thoughts on Operation Epic Fury and Its Aftermath

Why the strike on Iran was legal, overdue, and a strategic earthquake.

As I write this on Saturday night, there is still a lot going on, and as such I’ll throw myself on the mercy of our readers for whatever has gone out of date between its writing and your reading.

It’s a very fluid situation.

But in what looks like a very, very successful joint operation between the Israeli Defense Forces and the U.S. Navy and Air Force, a significant decapitation strike has greatly degraded the Iranian regime — including harvesting some 40 top leaders of the Iranian regime, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose death has sparked worldwide celebrations from Iranians and Iranian expatriates.

The Rare-Earth Reckoning

How America outsourced the materials of modern power—and what it will take to get them back

In the middle of the Mojave Desert, just off Interstate 15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, sits the Mountain Pass mine. Surrounded by a high plateau of pale rock and desert scrub, this 600-foot-deep open pit hums with activity. Trucks haul blasted rock to the surface, where it is crushed in pursuit of valuable minerals that are scattered thinly through the earth’s crust yet remain indispensable to modern life.

LILLEY: Taking out Iran’s Ayatollah should be celebrated

Ding dong, the Ayatollah is dead and the whole world should be celebrating.

While the Iranians were denying the death of Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei throughout Saturday, the evidence points to his much-welcome demise.
