On Wednesday, the PBS News Hour brought on union chief Paul Perez of the National Border Patrol Council (who represents 18,000 Border Patrol agents), and anchor Amna Nawaz pressed him on why 6 in 10 Americans think immigration enforcement has “gone too far.” Perez argued “the media’s misleading the public,” and Nawaz wasn’t going to accept that argument!
Channel 12 news reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump were shown an image of the body of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, after it was recovered by Iranian authorities from his compound in Tehran.
Israel carried out a massive strike on Khamenei’s compound in the opening salvo of attacks on Iran this morning.

As we are distracted, fecklessly try to convince the liberal mental bellyflops on Facebook that, anyway they slice it, Trump wasn’t one of Jeffrey Epstein’s pedos, the Chinese are taking advantage of our botheration and have been creating, quite successfully, a forward operating base (FOB) in Canada, and it’s less than 500 miles from the United States. Even worse, I have a sneaking suspicion that the Canadian government is in on the commie caper to hand Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) over to the filthy Chinese communists who seek to, with Islam, take over the world.
The United States is discussing a “friendly takeover” of Cuba, Donald Trump has said.
The US president said Washington was pursuing an amicable form of regime change in Havana, as sanctions continue to cripple the communist-run island.
Tensions between the US and Cuba have risen since Mr Trump imposed an oil siege on the island following the capture of Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela, a key ally and oil supplier of Cuba, in January. He has threatened to impose tariffs on any country that exports oil to Cuba.
The Justice Department announced on Friday that 30 additional people have been charged with disrupting a Sunday worship service with a protest during the peak of the immigration crackdown in Minnesota. The new indictments bring the total number of people accused in the protest to 39, including Don Lemon, the former CNN anchor.
The demonstration on Jan. 18 took place at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn., where one of the pastors, David Easterwood, is also a senior official at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mr. Easterwood was not at the church during the service that day.
The US and Israel have launched an attack on Iran.
US president Donald Trump has described ongoing “major combat operations” and called for Iranian government forces to lay down their arms.
Earlier, Israel’s Defence Minister said Israel had launched a “pre-emptive attack” against Iran, with explosions heard across the country.

Iran launches heavy missile barrage across Israel in retaliation for US-Israel attack
Sirens have sounded across Israel’s north and central regions on Saturday, after a rocket barrage was fired from Iran. A missile impacted in northern Israel, a Magen David Adom source told Walla, with no injuries being reported.
According to a report by Fire and Rescue, a missile’s shrapnel impacted on a 20-story building and penetrated into the 17th floor.

Alberta is flirting with the Americans again. A few bold souls are down in DC, on their own dime, asking about diplomatic recognition and — bless their pragmatic hearts — a line of credit.
Predictably, the “Forever Canada, Elbows Up” crowd has dropped their avocado toast in horror, screaming “Treason!” with the kind of theatrics usually reserved for a Truckers convoy or a minor dip in Toronto real estate prices.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Roughly translated, this means “Who guards the guardians?”
While many attribute the phrase to the Roman poet Juvenal, I first heard it in an episode of Justice League Unlimited, a kids’ cartoon about the adventures of Superman, Batman, and their assorted costumed friends. It’s an apt phrase for contextualizing the recent news concerning the FBI and its use of assessments to surveil and investigate Americans at whim.
Actor James Woods took Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Democrats to the woodshed after they heckled and protested President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
Cuba has accused 10 people aboard a US-registered speedboat it intercepted off its coast on Wednesday of planning “an infiltration with terrorist aims”.
Border guards shot dead four people and injured the other six on the boat, the Cuban interior ministry said, alleging that those on the Florida-registered vessel had fired first.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington was investigating the “highly unusual” incident.
Donald Trump could declare a national emergency over apparent Chinese election interference, it has been claimed.
The move would allow the US president to exert presidential powers over elections, imposing voter ID requirements and banning mail-in ballots, according to The Washington Post.
Peter Ticktin, a lawyer behind a draft executive order apparently seen by Mr Trump, said the president was “aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes”.
A growing number of K–12 students are taking part in walkouts and protests against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across the nation, raising questions about the activists radicalizing them.
The walkouts, which many school administrators say are a legitimate exercise of the students’ First Amendment rights, have seen increasing incidents of violence and lawlessness, ranging from beatings and scuffles to vandalism.
🚨 Minors in Boise, Idaho are being recruited by the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a dangerous 501(c)(3).
One of their leaders, ‘They/Them,’ led hundreds of students away from their schools to protest ICE.

Canada’s spy service will be alert to any Iranian attempts to direct its proxies in Canada to strike U.S. targets in this country if the United States attacks Iran, according to former top spies.
Two former assistant directors of operations at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service told The Globe and Mail Wednesday that Canada and other Western countries’ intelligence services have been working in concert to prevent Iranian attacks in Europe and North America.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed the United States would get answers about a Cuba shootout that killed four people and injured six others aboard a speedboat from Florida.
“We’re going to find out exactly what happened and then we will respond accordingly,” Rubio said Wednesday while traveling to Saint Kitts and Nevis.
He conceded that “it is highly unusual to see shootouts in the open sea like that. That’s not something that happens every day.”
Note from the Ministry of the Interior:
On the morning of February 25, 2026, a violating speedboat was detected within Cuban territorial waters. The vessel, registered in Florida, United States, with registration number FL7726SH, approached up to 1 nautical mile northeast of the… pic.twitter.com/AEmwtAZ4lO

From his secret bunker last June, as Israeli missiles rained down on Tehran, Iran’s supreme leader issued an instruction he had never given before: to prepare for his succession. With the threat of decapitation strikes hanging over him, Ayatollah Khamenei drew up a secret list of three clerics who could take his place and told his assembly of experts to choose between them if he was killed.
It was the first of several key lessons the Islamic regime would take from that war as the prospect of another now looms. Khamenei also picked four layers of succession for all the military and civilian leaders he personally appoints: others beyond that circle were ordered to name their own four rungs of replacements.
