Great detail on the mine/drone protection! 👍 I’m still waiting/hoping for your perp walk predictions to come through, as those who attempted to overthrow the government still enjoy their freedom. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Then we have investigations into the newly-discovered ‘four’ FBI operations against Trump (by John Solomon, “Just the News”) over the past decade: Round River, the worst, Plasmic Echo, the well-known Russian Hoax and the more recent Arctic Frost, which caused a slight uproar in Congress. The first two have caught the attention of the DNI and apparently already has resulted in a new grand jury being impaneled. Stay tuned.
Did you not see the autopen investigation is closed? I'll look into my crystal ball and tell you what's going to happen to these people: exactly nothing.
Right. While the wheels of justice might move slowly, in the case of all these people being made accountable, the wheels of justice have ground to a halt. These congressional hearings are just for show. After all this time, there should have been enough evidence on someone for a prosecutor to take up a case. They all get the “get out of jail free” card.
Fortunately, Trump et. al. know that locking people up is irrelevant to the major tasks at hand, as nicely outlined by our host. People get hung up on vengeance, but punishment of individuals doesn't really do the job of rooting out and defanging the corruption and treason that ails us. That bigger job is going amazingly well so far.
Bull. Americans would dance in the streets to see Clintons, Ilhan Omar, or Tim Walz led away in handcuffs, to prison. Oh, and then there are those pesky Epstein clients who keep working harder and harder to keep each other out of courts and prison. The FBI somehow just got around ( last week!! ) to searching Epstein's ranch in New Mexico. Suspension of disbelief is required for that one.
Right on! Funny how after Capone, it took until 1970 to pass the RICO laws. Those same laws should be getting rigorous application in states like MN, NY and CA against the politicians, raping the social services systems with fraud and outright theft.
You're sort of right to bring that up, but it's really the threat of punishment that helps with gathering information. Plea deals with leniency. But I didn't say it was irrelevant in a general sense but irrelevant to the broader, much more difficult things that need to be done. For example, the shut down of NGO money is where it's at, not whether Brennan will go to jail rather than just have his life and career ruined by the proceedings he's forced to endure.
I’m with James. There will be “perp walks and indictments coming in on the zephyrs of spring.” Before the midterms, in any case. Trump and his team (which includes AI-enabled techbro billionaires) know winning them is crucial to his agenda and legacy. They have the receipts on dozens of scandals: Russiagate, Spygate, election fraud, Somali fraud, Medicaid/Medicare fraud, ActBlue, and many more. They have a once in a generation change to destroy the Democratic Party, which they know wants to destroy them. You think they’re too timid to win? I don’t.
Have you no concept of critical thinking in your worship of another man. Trump has done some GREAT things, but in a few areas his actions are worthy of criticism.
The problem stems from how many actual operations have been run against him four different FBI investigations and multiple propaganda packages leveled at him by the intel agencies.
I'm always hopeful, MarshaLouise, but Trump is an enigma and is very unpredictable. I appreciate what he is doing on many things. On other things I am not so sure.
Blue pills, red pills, black pills, or Orange Kool-Aid - most everyone gives in to their favorite flavor of confirmation bias well before the facts are in. This time will be no different. The big oil-filled sandbox known as the Middle East has tossed in a few mischievous twists of Karma during the last couple of thousand years, and I think it'll be quite some time before we know what the real fallout will be.
We'll see if the American approach of remote arcade style warfare can overcome traditional "boots on the ground" against a very hostile enemy with nothing to lose. The picture now looks quite murky, and ground truth is difficult to come by. The U.S. has decades of military adventures in the region, and plenty of ill will generated to show for it. This Theater of Distraction is a high price to pay for taking eyes of much bigger problems we have at home - after all, the Long Emergency just keeps rolling along....it never rests.
"The U.S. has decades of military adventures in the region"
Hell yes. It is our military's play and training ground.
As I read Mr. Kunstler's descriptions of the technical weaponry and naval vessels employed by our military I kept thinking the military / industrial complex that controls the US government, particularly the US Congress, is again raking in the profits and the CEOs at Raytheon, Northrup-Grummond and others are going to get a really big fat bonus this year.
"War......It's fantastic!" - Hot Shots Part Deux when the Sergeant set the record for the most kills in a movie.
Trump said no new wars, we now oppose the war for this reason. Meanwhile, I have been told "It's not a war! It's not new!" Like these technicalities will save us from the fact that this is an expeditionary war of choice for regime change in the middle east like the Iraq war and the fundamental problem that this isn't good for the gander. There is literally no tangible benefit to people in the United States. And whil we can spend billions overseas, where is the investment here? Why can't we take care of our problems here?
When are you going to see the light brother? It's ok to acknowledge the truth and admit that Trump has betrayed us.
Well put. He's sold us all out. Is he better than Kamala? Yes. But that's a very low bar. The MAGA Movement is dead. It's become just another hollow slogan whored out to sell people on backing Zionist expansionism, dispensarional religious retardation and the bottomless money pit of the military industrial complex.
Yep. But even then you have to ask: is he really better than Kamala? We have less deportations than Obama, a war in Iran, and he's saying kids can get Trans surgeries with parental consent. What is actually better? Corporate tax rates? Yay. It's better than a shit sandwich because this shit sandwich has mustard.
Accepting facts is not giving up. It only means we need to find different tactics to destroy the enemy. Sticking your head in the sand to reality accomplishes nothing.
Just whose ‘facts’? And what are their purposes in distributing said ‘facts’? ‘Critical thinking’, when you don’t know SHIT? Sit back and watch the shitshow. Maybe we will know someday, or most likely NOT. “Facts” have been managed forever by those who wish to create actions or even to frame reality - it is just so much WORSE now. The feedback loop of fakeness followed by manipulated opinion is awesome to watch in its power to shape reality. 5th generation warfare as is said…
We could always test the efficacy of missiles not exactly hidden in Kansas and Iowa by using them to turn Iran to glass. That would be a different tactical approach.
It's similar to someone's idea that was told to me 25 years ago, after 9/11: Tell everyone in the world, especially Islamist countries that any further terrorist activity anywhere will bring the immediate vaporization of Mecca and Medina, meaning no more meteorite-in-a-box for them to worship. That probably would cause some anger and resentment, but it might give the bad guys pause.
Better Qom we at the moment are aligned with the Sunni world.
Qom is the shite equivalent of the black rock.
I do find it odd they can't create statues or art with man's likeness out of fear of Muslims worshipping them, but they wander around a black rock in a big black box.
Ritual worship is bizarre.
Nor do we need to use nukes in fact using them even the small ones would be a huge mistake.
Conventional payloads work just fine and should be used at this point since Iran is spraying missiles all over the place even announcing banks are now targets...banks.
Says the old FOX/mark levin watching boomer who wants to give the country and subsequent generations a final FU before dropping dead 10 years earlier than their greatest generation parents...
In this supposedly-live video, people are talking about Netanyahu's sixth finger (AI?) at 1:23 on his right hand (on our left), which I've cued at that point, and suggesting he might be dead.
A commenter at another site also mentioned a 'time stamp' at that point, but I don't know what that means or where it might be. Maybe they mean the 6-fingered hand too.
I don't know what to make of this ATM (limited time to look more into it), but here's the video:
I suppose it could be compared with the same video on other channels. Maybe they edited that part out or kept it in. Do fingers normally 'blur' like that, outside of AI doing so? Was Netanyahu born with a sixth finger on his right hand that only appears sometimes?
But, also, I just cursorily caught something at another site about some sort of 'power-grab' in Israel.
"In this supposedly-live video, people are talking about Netanyahu's sixth finger (AI?) at 1:23 on his right hand (on our left), which I've cued at that point"
Zaz, this proves NOTHING! It is well known that devout Zionists, the Chosen, can, like lizards, regenerate! He needed a sixth finger to more ably filp off the Iranian thugs.
Hot Iranian Girls = Can't tell as they are hidden under the hijabs but I hear persian women are quite attractive.
Safety = Not for the Iranian girls and kabobs cookers.
I pick money. It always comes down to money. Money, money, money. $1 billion in profits is not enough, they MUST have $2 billion. $2 billion isn't enough, they MUST have $4 billion.
I know you have been watching. Our missiles, do not seem to be effective on Hypers. Iran is a lab, and our technology is proving to be wanting, in real time.
Hypers is a term for ballistic missiles and yes some of them have been less than 100% effective as Israel and most of the middle east is finding out.
The launchers are easier to target and are being targeted.
Iran was going to be global threat it really is time for them to go back to being a Republic more interested in trade and peace then pushing Shia brand religion.
"... yes some of them have been less than 100% effective..."
Ben,
...Less than 100% effective..."
Reminds me of a statement made by a Japanese Emperor:
"The war is going not necessarily to our advantage."
I am of the opinion that our best missiles are very ineffective in respect to the maneuverable glide projectiles currently being used. To suggest that our missiles are working well reminds me of the fighter in the ring...his cornerman says that the fighter is doing well and the other fighter hasn't laid a glove on him...he replies "You better start watching the referee, then, because somebody is beating the shit out of me..."
Great interview earlier this week...your guest's assertion that Iran has not attacked anyone in 300 years is fallacious-they've been conducting ongoing proxy warfare for many years thru hamas, hezbollah, houthi's, etc
Sure. They may be friends to Barry Soetoro, Lolo Soetoro's adopted son and naturalized citizen of Indonesia (which forces citizens to give up citizenship in other countries -- meaning the Democrats knowingly seated a president who legally couldn't serve -- but that's old news, so who cares?), the convert to Islam John Brennan, and the CIA, but those outfits aren't the friends of America.
I'm not a friend of any of your presidents or of our prime ministers. None of them work for us. They don't even get to stand without being vetted by the Bilderbergers.
I didn't say it did. But it's the US that holds the Award for attacking most countries since WWII and carrying out regime change ops and colour revolutions. So it has zero moral high ground. Nothing happened to your country or mine for the outrage that was the Iraq war.
And who put Jolani the head-chopper-in-a-suit in power in Syria? UK, US and Israel.
I don't think any 'regimes' have moral high ground. Countries are something else - they are made up of individuals who are moral entities (for good or bad). A regime is not a moral entity.
Sorry, nope. Please don't "move the goalposts". YOU used the word "countries", and then in reference to the actions of countries, you used the phrase "regime change", which means to change the government of a country. My question asked you about countries, NOT "regimes". "Regimes" are made up of people who are "moral entities". Are being pedantic, semantic, or simply illogical & irrational?.... And actually, a LOT happened to America because of that "Iraq war". Are you aware that the Bush dynasty & the Bin Laden family have $100's of millions in mutual investments through the Carlyle Group?.... Can you name the "3 Cities"?.... What branch of our Federal government, Executive, Legislative, or Judicial, does the "U.S. Federal Reserve" "bank" fall under?....etc., rsvp?
You are obviously a Demm and possibly a muslim as no one else would ignore the deaths and destruction brought to Americans by these vicious organizations. However, you may have a point regarding the UK who increasingly are being recognized as not on our side, or in our best interests, which includes the EU.
I'm in the UK and don't vote (since 2021). I wouldn't vote for the Fabians currently in power, or the Tories whose puppetmasters are the same as the Fabians', or indeed Farage who is a former banker and currently almost certainly a deep-state asset.
So, no, I'm not a 'Demm'. Or a muslim.
Also I'm a Christian, but not one of those heretical Christian Zionists. If you think the UK and US don't use proxies that harm their own people, I hope you wake up one day. You probably still think 9/11 was organised by a beardy bloke in a cave.
And you seem to lack perceptiveness, so probably best not to guess about other people. I don't know what you are as I don't know you from Adam.
Sheila, I am currently admiring the stance of Rupert Lowe in his effort to Restore Britain. This is a party I think most real Brits could get behind. How is it going?
Thanks for your response, and I apologize for my apparently mistaken ID of you. No, I do not trust the government, actually any government, as they strive for complete power by whatever means. I especially do not trust the British government or royal family, as too many problems in the U.S. can be traced to British actual control. Now, for an update on beliefs, JFK was not killed by the lone gunman; building 7 did not fall due to the aircraft crashing into the World Tower, but from nefarious means; et cet. I actually do have very acute perceptiveness among other attributes, with some failings. Have a nice day and I hope you have some good English weather today.
Thank you! I'm actually in Scotland where the weather is even worse. 🤣
Also, yes, although I couldn't possibly 'know', I have the impression that the City of London is the head of the snake. But I also think there's nothing particularly 'British' about it. I think you can trace it all back much further, but I won't elaborate as entire books have been written about it!
The whole purpose of this war was to remove Israel's final rival in the ME and give them the space to become a world superpower. Netenyahu said as much in a speech yesterday. This war serves no tangible benefit to the US. It isn't MAGA, it isn't America first. It's to increase shareholder value, i.e. Israel first. And we have to eat the cost for their benefit.
And 90% of "MAGA" supports this nonsense, despite it being very unpopular, completely against Trump's promises and against the America first movement. Don't be shocked when the midterm results roll around. I really hope the opposition will reign this administration in and that a real popular hero will take the field in 28.
Israel has a strong, disciplined military, but it is in no position to become a "world superpower." That's just low-rent paranoia aimed at alarming the retarded.
You think bombing Iran and destroying the world economy was Trump’s idea? You think he has a plan that is different from the Zionist agenda of destroying their neighbors and taking their land?
No, that's not the way Israel rolls. Their business model is to continually occupy more and more of an eventual Greater Israel - from the Euphrates to the Nile - while relying upon the big, dumb, manipulable US to prevent the populations they victimize from making them pay for it militarily. That won't work any more, but Netanyahu doesn't seem to realize that yet.
The real purpose of this war is to take out a regional power who has attacked all sorts of countries around them via proxies chanted death to America for fifty years and armed terror cells all over the middle east.
If Israel ceased to exist, they would start targeting Sunni countries and continue the Sunni Shite fighting that has been going on for a thousand years.
All this while building ever larger missile systems to deliver a payload across the region and beyond possibly even to land in your front yard.
They have also been sending drones to Russia that are killing Ukrainians a venture I feel is none of our business, but it is keeping that war going longer than it needs to.
The fact you chose to say otherwise reveals your motivation.
What caused the war?
Iran mocking during a nuclear meeting they already had enough material to make 11 nuclear weapons, and they did not need nor want free low-level material for peaceful power. They want nukes and will use them if they get them.
Iran wanted a confrontation and war it is part of their ruling 12'er sects' belief this conflict will bring in the last Mahdi a messianic figure.
So, when pundits and talk host say they are run by religious zealots that is a very simple truth.
This is a group of people who during the Iran/Iraq war had kids run across minefields with plastic keys to paradise cause tanks are expensive and little kids are not.
They use Hamas tactics of putting civilians right next to ripe military targets to use as propaganda pieces.
If they will do that to their own kids and people, what will they do to yours?
I don't expect you to do anything but double down on pro-Iranian propaganda.
I feel ashamed that you had to explain this as though ppl had never heard these things before. But, Ben, thank you for saying what I wanted to. It seems as though there are idiots punting around stupid ideas for the sake of trying to convince themselves that it’s all about Israel, and that our president never works for America. They are deluded and refuse to understand, and I tire of the endless love shown for anyone who is against America.
Neither Obama nor Biden did anything that was good for the country, and now we are faced with the terrorists that Biden let into the country. I'm sure they'll blame white supremacy for the coming terrorist attacks. Expect democrats to go after the second amendment when that happens. We know they want to eliminate it, anyway.
Unfortunately, Nick Fuentes was totally right and I don't think its 90% - maybe 90% of FOX news watching boomers + Zionist evangelicals... We are starting our own Friday war roundup:
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤’𝐬 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐩𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐩: 🇮🇱 Who we fight for update (power gays + IDF rapists)... 🤡 Jim Cramer clown world… We want you to play Jeffrey’s War… Hezbollah enters the chat… Our favorite Ukrainian goblin lends his drone expertise… Strait of Hormuz update… Putin on the Ritz… 🤡 The British “Navy” is coming… 🏳️🌈 Lindsey Graham’s latest psychotic wargasms… 🫣 Nick Fuentes was right again… 🫅 Man in the high castle update… 🔥 Some final words (e.g. Americans when they start a war against people who own shoes & can read for a change...)
I hope I'm right in this and not just coping: It might be a sampling/selection error. Anyone who opposes the war has ditched the 'MAGA' title. Most of what's left are those fanatically loyal to Trump. So it's a tautology. The question asks those loyal to Trump if they are loyal to Trump. I'm probably just coping.
Nope. Iran refers to the US as "The Great Satan" and all school children are routinely taught to yell "Death to America!" and to hate Americans from nursery school on. There is tangible benefit to America and the West in not letting Islamists control the strait of Hormuz and promote jihadism across the planet. We've been running from addressing this for years; better now than later.
Yes when they have figured out how to make missiles that can fly further then the middle east and 10,000 of them tipped with high explosive semtex I believe was looted by the tons from Iraq.
It's all about money, Occam. Raytheon, Northrup-grummond, Lockheed, they all profit immensely from war and the production of weapons of war. Ben even mentioned above that Lockheed stocks are going to do well thanks to the increase in production of missiles. Money has always been the motivation for war. Always. FDR induced Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor to get the US into the war to jump start the economy and pull the nation out of the Great Depression. It did but it also changed the world in terrifying ways. In all wars there are a few who become extremely wealthy. The rest suffer.
The strait of hormuz isn't open until Iran says it is. That's just a simple fact. There's only two ways to get it open, surrender and give into Iran's demands, or send in ground troops. It will be closed for months
Insanity is performing the same action repeatedly expecting different results. The USA comes in guns-a-blazin' and touting its technological superiority and then leaves whimpering with its tail between its legs.

Here is a list of the countries bombed and/or invaded by the United States from the end of WW II to present:
I’m sorry for the attack on you, Kenn, for this simple error. I don’t understand the need to call ppl names because of an error. God bless. Stay in the loop; don’t become discouraged.
Substack is infected with the lunatic left school teachers. Anytime you see a comment on spelling, grammar, or anything thing else you have a lunatic lefty Karen or Bob. Progressive 101 and still studying. 😎 And Thanks MarshalLouise!
Careful, you might get a Pfizer booster in your arm instead of a .40 round in your head. Equally deadly, but one often kills you via stroke or turbo-cancer.
War is necessary to justify a trillion dollar defense spending budget. Can't justify all that money without a war to fight. So, we find hapless nations and beat the hell out of them without really declaring any kind of official "war." Makes sense?
The military / industrial complex controls the US government, particularly the US Congress.
The USA lost the moral high ground many decades ago.
Joe Biden admitted publicly that as Vice President he offered the Ukrainian government $1 Billion of money belonging to U.S. working families if Ukraine would fire their prosecutor who was investigating corruption at a Ukrainian company where Biden’s own son was working. He said that his offer would expire that afternoon. Ukraine accepted and fired the prosecutor and Biden transferred the $1 billion. That’s not a crime? Apparently not for Pam Bondi. As sad as it is, we can’t expect any of the much more complex crimes to be prosecuted.
It’s a crime, of course, but with the hundreds of serious crimes committed by the Democrats, Bidens, etc., how are priorities decided? Even with hundreds of attorneys engaged in investigations and case management in the DOJ, evidence collection is weighty and time-consuming. Patience.
Wishful thinking. I hope at least some comes true.
I also hope to see a surge in reporting on fraud. Either investigations first and prosecutions second or vice versa.
In some ways of thinking this is the most certain future truth, the low hanging fruit so to say for the current administration. And to think, Trump put going after this firmly in JD's hands. Hmmm.
1 He trusts JD,
2 He thinks JD will be like a dog with a bone, and
3 he thinks the Bondi/Patel crew needs some leadership and help in hat mucky end of the swamp.
It's the most obvious future as we move towards the mid terms, and independent media is beginning to help.
I grew up in South Dakota and cannot believe the people who “represent” them, especially John Thune, who has followed Mitch McConnell 🤮 around for years, desiring to become just like him when he grows up, America be damned. I wish he would just step down and let someone with a spine actually fight on America’s behalf. A girl can dream . . .
Today’s edition of CFN was brought to you by Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman – the folks whose fabulously costly products failed to prevail in Afghanistan for twenty years.
Once again, no suggestion was made as to how Netanyahu’s War can possibly benefit the USA, regardless of outcome.
Time to burn your Persian rugs and plant Victory Gardens.
You honestly don't understand that we have lost all of these wars, do you, William. Remember when Rambo said "they wouldn't let us win"? That was bullshit. We were whupped.
Would you be defending the Nazi’s and also annoyed that our commercial industrial base was reengineered to make weapons to fight against this evil then.
The Death to America Ayatollah and his Republican Guard Force are good the Orange man bad and Israel must be removed troupe seems to miss the point.
Yes, William. You and I both recognize that there are good and evil in this world, but disagree as to which is which. It's as stark as that.
BTW, I do not regard the American people as evil, but the Uniparty that fronts those who rule the world certainly is, and the failing agenda they are still trying to enforce is hellishly so. The fact that they have duped President Trump into this colossal blunder is a terrible tragedy.
It's out there. Twitter/X is always a shit storm, but there are knowledgeable and trustworthy people on all kinds of subjects. Just go to X and search Littoral Combat Ships.
For all panicans, go to the White House website and search for "National Security Strategy" and "Foreign Policy Strategy." Another is "The Fiscal Oversight Committee "FOC" 2025 Annual Report." They are well written explanations of Trump Admin. goals and strategy. I can hear the doomers already, "What a simp! Trusting anything that pedo Orange Hitler says."
Anyone who takes the time to read them will be able to connect the dots, because it's there in plain English. Eliminating threats to national security in the Western Hemisphere (Venezuela, Mexico, Cuba, Canada). Re-evaluating every relationship with current or former allies across the globe. No more multi-lateral trade deals, forge only reciprocal bi-lateral trade relationships with like-minded countries. Respect the culture and government systems of foreign nations, friend and foe, and end State Dept. meddling in foreign countries to force our values and culture onto another people. For threats domestic and external, first offer an open book test: negotiate in good faith so we can settle differences diplomatically. If you fail the open book test, we will take whatever means necessary to eliminate the threat to protect the interests of the American people. The FOC, for the first time in its history, has prioritized "the economic stability of the American home."
Maduro and the mullahs failed the open book test. Zelensky has a D- and will be dealt with. Cuba is currently negotiating. 60 countries have joined the Peace Board. Twelve Latin American countries were in Doral this past weekend, committed to destroy the drug cartels in their countries and secure the Western Hemisphere. Mexico and the U.S. are already working together to eliminate the cartels AND exit the USMCA multi-lateral trade agreement summer of 2026, forge a bi-lateral trade deal between just the U.S. and Mexico. Canada has refused to participate in negotiations.
Trump 47 is the most transparent administration in modern history. He's not shooting from the hip at whatever suits his fancy at the moment. He's also not playing 4-D chess. For chrissakes, it's all out there for public consumption, friend or foe, in black & white. For those who refuse to make an effort to understand what Trump is attempting but just like to black pill, STFU.
Perhaps he pulls it out of his ass, pretty much like POTUS Trump did when he claimed Iran targeted their own school girls for death.
Although there is a big cover up going on in the US over the US heroic targeting of and attack on a school full of Iranian little girls, the International press, as well as some US outlets, are picking up on the story.
The main theme: Trump lied, kiddies died.
Can you imaging the outrage if Iran struck a school full of 170 American girls and claimed it was an accident? What penalty would people call for?
"Congress created a special Pentagon office to prevent the accidental targeting of civilians but it was dramatically scaled back by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth soon after he took office last year."
This gave Hegseth and POTUS "plausible deniability" for a strike on the girls' school. If blaming Iran failed, it could still be covered up by calling it a mistake and blaming it on resource limitations.
"In the case of Minab, the preliminary inquiry states that CENTCOM planners relied on DIA data and concluded that the school building remained part of the Sayyid al‑Shuhada complex, leading to “insufficient weight” being given to the obvious civilian presence.
In other words, even in the Pentagon’s own language, US officers consciously authorized a Tomahawk strike on a built‑up area that either they believed included an active school or that they did not bother to verify despite ample open‑source evidence that it was a school.
Furthermore, the Times indicates that the base was struck again roughly two hours after the initial barrage, implying that commanders had real‑time battle damage assessments and were aware of the devastation in the vicinity. The decision to continue the attack demonstrates that the killing of civilians, including scores of schoolgirls, was not unforeseen but an expected consequence of the military operation.
Given all of these reported facts, the question must be asked: Were Hegseth and Trump notified that the selected targets in Minab included a girls elementary school? If they were notified, did Hegseth and Trump give the final order to go ahead with the Tomahawk missile strike?"
Don't forget in 2002 when a school for girls caught on fire and the girls ran out of the building screaming. The Saudi religious police forced them back into the building because they whorishly ran from the flames without headscarves and hijabs. Forced back into the building they burned to death.
What we are fighting is that ideology. Islam is a global cancer, and we can see that in every country that has allowed jihadi invasion.
Except that the Sunni ideology of America's Saudi Arabian ally, who are archenemies of Iran's Shia theocracy, is the one that gave rise to al-Qaeda and its operatives, including the former al-Qaeda leader who is now president of Syria and was hosted by POTUS Trump at the White House
"Can you imaging the outrage if Iran struck a school full of 170 American girls and claimed it was an accident? What penalty would people call for?"
Anyone remember those economy-busting sanctions that were applied to the US and UK for illegally invading Iraq on the basis of deliberately falsified intelligence and killing a million people? No, me neither. One rule for me and another for thee.
When I first read about the devastating blow to a school in Iran I was inclined to think it was another in the long history of wartime propaganda. But the following days brought further evidence that suggested the report was for real, and shocking.
Collateral damage is part of war, but the strike on the girls school was somewhere on the spectrum from irresponsibility to a savage war crime. It may turn out to be for the Iran war what My Lai was for Vietnam.
Few other than Americans are going to believe it was the result of incompetence. They've all heard of Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Mai Lai and will not believe that the US does not target civilians. The reputation on the US is in the sewer.
I read this nonsense and remembered that this is war, and you have a serious case of TDS, and “the Times indicates” says it all. Look for reliable news sources.
Ah, the classic ad hominem + genetic fallacy combo: shout “TDS,” sneer at the source, and carefully avoid addressing a single fact. If your entire rebuttal is “I don’t like where the information came from,” you haven’t refuted the argument—you’ve just advertised that you can’t. Try engaging with the evidence instead of the insult generator.
The double tap method suggests to me that Israel may have influenced this attack (double tap being their MO), or that the US panicked and sent a second missile in hopes of silencing witnesses / preventing media coverage.
As per usual, James has the definitive article on this situation. I have to admit that even I have been falling victim to the endless anti-Trump/anti-war Propaganda and was beginning to wonder if maybe this whole thing might be a mistake.
I feel so much better after reading this, it just made my whole week better.
One other thing- let's not forget that there is another war with Islam taking place mainly in the UK and parts of the US like NY City and Little Mogadishu.
The Muslims are winning without firing a shot. They even have a mayor in place in what was once the greatest city in the world. How do we fight that battle?
Great detail on the mine/drone protection! 👍 I’m still waiting/hoping for your perp walk predictions to come through, as those who attempted to overthrow the government still enjoy their freedom. 🤷♂️🤷♂️

Dream on.
Yeah. While I’m hopeful, I remain skeptical 🫤
Did you not see the autopen investigation is closed? I'll look into my crystal ball and tell you what's going to happen to these people: exactly nothing.
....at least not publicly, or reported in the fake news media!....
You might as well hope for the New York Jets.
As a life long Cleveland Browns fan, I’m very familiar with irrational hope! 😂😂😂
Right. While the wheels of justice might move slowly, in the case of all these people being made accountable, the wheels of justice have ground to a halt. These congressional hearings are just for show. After all this time, there should have been enough evidence on someone for a prosecutor to take up a case. They all get the “get out of jail free” card.
Fortunately, Trump et. al. know that locking people up is irrelevant to the major tasks at hand, as nicely outlined by our host. People get hung up on vengeance, but punishment of individuals doesn't really do the job of rooting out and defanging the corruption and treason that ails us. That bigger job is going amazingly well so far.
Bull. Americans would dance in the streets to see Clintons, Ilhan Omar, or Tim Walz led away in handcuffs, to prison. Oh, and then there are those pesky Epstein clients who keep working harder and harder to keep each other out of courts and prison. The FBI somehow just got around ( last week!! ) to searching Epstein's ranch in New Mexico. Suspension of disbelief is required for that one.
I'd dance too, but I'm aware that, as an example, locking up Al Capone did little to stop his gang from surviving and evolving.
Right on! Funny how after Capone, it took until 1970 to pass the RICO laws. Those same laws should be getting rigorous application in states like MN, NY and CA against the politicians, raping the social services systems with fraud and outright theft.
It’s not irrelevant. Punishment of individuals is a LARGE PART of rooting out and defanging the corruption and treason that ails us.
You're sort of right to bring that up, but it's really the threat of punishment that helps with gathering information. Plea deals with leniency. But I didn't say it was irrelevant in a general sense but irrelevant to the broader, much more difficult things that need to be done. For example, the shut down of NGO money is where it's at, not whether Brennan will go to jail rather than just have his life and career ruined by the proceedings he's forced to endure.
I’m with James. There will be “perp walks and indictments coming in on the zephyrs of spring.” Before the midterms, in any case. Trump and his team (which includes AI-enabled techbro billionaires) know winning them is crucial to his agenda and legacy. They have the receipts on dozens of scandals: Russiagate, Spygate, election fraud, Somali fraud, Medicaid/Medicare fraud, ActBlue, and many more. They have a once in a generation change to destroy the Democratic Party, which they know wants to destroy them. You think they’re too timid to win? I don’t.

Comical kunstler doubles down! Shredding his reputation.
NBN,
Old iron mines might not be all that Iran possesses.
Wow, entirely black-pilled anti-trump commenters broadcasting hate and ‘we give up’. Please head back to blue sky PUSSIES.
Well said. Someone opened the floodgates here to the Trump-hating, Bluesky, purple hairs.
It has been that way for several years but now they are pro Iran as well.
One of them admits to being Iranian so hats off to him for supporting his terrible country Martillo.
Supporting the Iranian government is the opposite of supporting Iran. Kind of like supporting Democrats is aggressive hostility toward the US.
Agreed.
I support Iranians bid for freedom from oppression.
We have a fairly large community active in protesting Irans current government.
Have you no concept of critical thinking in your worship of another man. Trump has done some GREAT things, but in a few areas his actions are worthy of criticism.
As are the actions of all humans.
The problem stems from how many actual operations have been run against him four different FBI investigations and multiple propaganda packages leveled at him by the intel agencies.
These are the ones that will bring the traitors down. Never give up on Trump.
TAW = Trump Always Wins
I'm always hopeful, MarshaLouise, but Trump is an enigma and is very unpredictable. I appreciate what he is doing on many things. On other things I am not so sure.
At this point I am not holding my breath anymore.
Put not your faith in princes. That being said, what areas do you have in mind?
they are like locusts, hard to keep them from migrating and ruining everything they touch
Yeah what with that pesky free speech ideal
Blue pills, red pills, black pills, or Orange Kool-Aid - most everyone gives in to their favorite flavor of confirmation bias well before the facts are in. This time will be no different. The big oil-filled sandbox known as the Middle East has tossed in a few mischievous twists of Karma during the last couple of thousand years, and I think it'll be quite some time before we know what the real fallout will be.
We'll see if the American approach of remote arcade style warfare can overcome traditional "boots on the ground" against a very hostile enemy with nothing to lose. The picture now looks quite murky, and ground truth is difficult to come by. The U.S. has decades of military adventures in the region, and plenty of ill will generated to show for it. This Theater of Distraction is a high price to pay for taking eyes of much bigger problems we have at home - after all, the Long Emergency just keeps rolling along....it never rests.
"The U.S. has decades of military adventures in the region"
Hell yes. It is our military's play and training ground.
As I read Mr. Kunstler's descriptions of the technical weaponry and naval vessels employed by our military I kept thinking the military / industrial complex that controls the US government, particularly the US Congress, is again raking in the profits and the CEOs at Raytheon, Northrup-Grummond and others are going to get a really big fat bonus this year.
"War......It's fantastic!" - Hot Shots Part Deux when the Sergeant set the record for the most kills in a movie.
Just heard that we're sending around 5,000 Marines to the area.
Read my comments from two weeks ago.
I said mass deportations are done. I have been told, "No, they're ongoing!" Trump and head GOP people just told everyone in the GOP to knock off the mass deportation talk this week: https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/white-house-instructs-house-gop-members-to-stop-rhetoric-on-mass-deportations-report-minnesota-donald-trump-2024
I said we should oppose the Republican party and hold them accountable with Democrat opposition. I have been told, "Sure. Vote for Democrats, the people who are going to trans your kids" Meanwhile: https://newschannel9.com/news/nation-world/trump-gets-pushback-for-saying-trans-surgery-for-kids-can-happen-with-parental-consent-marjorie-taylor-greene-matt-walsh-mail-in-ballots
Trump said no new wars, we now oppose the war for this reason. Meanwhile, I have been told "It's not a war! It's not new!" Like these technicalities will save us from the fact that this is an expeditionary war of choice for regime change in the middle east like the Iraq war and the fundamental problem that this isn't good for the gander. There is literally no tangible benefit to people in the United States. And whil we can spend billions overseas, where is the investment here? Why can't we take care of our problems here?
When are you going to see the light brother? It's ok to acknowledge the truth and admit that Trump has betrayed us.
Stating your opinion, without attacking other people personally, could give you substantially more credibility and gravitas, in my opinion.
Thank you for your advice, I have heeded it.
It's the preening he or she is referring to. That, and the fact that you're not right about much at all.
Lol tell us how you really feel!
The I was right read my posts chest beating says it all.
Reminds me of the guy that said he has an IQ of 153 then changed the number to 154 a couple of years later.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Endop_NxmEM
The man without hubris.
Trump also said no nukes for Iran over and over.
My God is YHWH, not Donald Trump, JHK, or anyone else, you simpleton.
Well put. He's sold us all out. Is he better than Kamala? Yes. But that's a very low bar. The MAGA Movement is dead. It's become just another hollow slogan whored out to sell people on backing Zionist expansionism, dispensarional religious retardation and the bottomless money pit of the military industrial complex.
Yep. But even then you have to ask: is he really better than Kamala? We have less deportations than Obama, a war in Iran, and he's saying kids can get Trans surgeries with parental consent. What is actually better? Corporate tax rates? Yay. It's better than a shit sandwich because this shit sandwich has mustard.
Accepting facts is not giving up. It only means we need to find different tactics to destroy the enemy. Sticking your head in the sand to reality accomplishes nothing.
Just whose ‘facts’? And what are their purposes in distributing said ‘facts’? ‘Critical thinking’, when you don’t know SHIT? Sit back and watch the shitshow. Maybe we will know someday, or most likely NOT. “Facts” have been managed forever by those who wish to create actions or even to frame reality - it is just so much WORSE now. The feedback loop of fakeness followed by manipulated opinion is awesome to watch in its power to shape reality. 5th generation warfare as is said…
We could always test the efficacy of missiles not exactly hidden in Kansas and Iowa by using them to turn Iran to glass. That would be a different tactical approach.
It's similar to someone's idea that was told to me 25 years ago, after 9/11: Tell everyone in the world, especially Islamist countries that any further terrorist activity anywhere will bring the immediate vaporization of Mecca and Medina, meaning no more meteorite-in-a-box for them to worship. That probably would cause some anger and resentment, but it might give the bad guys pause.
Better Qom we at the moment are aligned with the Sunni world.
Qom is the shite equivalent of the black rock.
I do find it odd they can't create statues or art with man's likeness out of fear of Muslims worshipping them, but they wander around a black rock in a big black box.
Ritual worship is bizarre.
Nor do we need to use nukes in fact using them even the small ones would be a huge mistake.
Conventional payloads work just fine and should be used at this point since Iran is spraying missiles all over the place even announcing banks are now targets...banks.
Black rock attacking Blackrock? How Ironic.
Says the old FOX/mark levin watching boomer who wants to give the country and subsequent generations a final FU before dropping dead 10 years earlier than their greatest generation parents...
awww snowflake did we ruin your safe space?
I approve this message.
Iran’s all powerful leader is made of cardboard… they control nothing
The new one has some holes punched in him already.
The American media make him out to be a real loser I take that with a grain of salt.
We really don’t know yet, do we?
Agree on the insta-narrative…
~ Is Netanyahu Dead? ~
In this supposedly-live video, people are talking about Netanyahu's sixth finger (AI?) at 1:23 on his right hand (on our left), which I've cued at that point, and suggesting he might be dead.
A commenter at another site also mentioned a 'time stamp' at that point, but I don't know what that means or where it might be. Maybe they mean the 6-fingered hand too.
I don't know what to make of this ATM (limited time to look more into it), but here's the video:
https://www.youtube.com/live/tnnIDvlZzcg?si=-Mg7vd64W0wwoncu&t=83
I suppose it could be compared with the same video on other channels. Maybe they edited that part out or kept it in. Do fingers normally 'blur' like that, outside of AI doing so? Was Netanyahu born with a sixth finger on his right hand that only appears sometimes?
But, also, I just cursorily caught something at another site about some sort of 'power-grab' in Israel.

"In this supposedly-live video, people are talking about Netanyahu's sixth finger (AI?) at 1:23 on his right hand (on our left), which I've cued at that point"
Zaz, this proves NOTHING! It is well known that devout Zionists, the Chosen, can, like lizards, regenerate! He needed a sixth finger to more ably filp off the Iranian thugs.
So are the drone decoys we have been blowing up on the ground with million dollar missiles.
We can make more missiles can't we?
Lockheed has agreed to make 4x the production level which is a buy for Lockheed stock.
And thus the reason for a war. Money. Gotta keep the fat cats rolling in it. It's always about money.
Oil, money, safety, free navigation, kabobs, hot Iranian girls, pick one or all.
Oil = money.
Free Navigation = money.
Kabobs = cholesterol.
Hot Iranian Girls = Can't tell as they are hidden under the hijabs but I hear persian women are quite attractive.
Safety = Not for the Iranian girls and kabobs cookers.
I pick money. It always comes down to money. Money, money, money. $1 billion in profits is not enough, they MUST have $2 billion. $2 billion isn't enough, they MUST have $4 billion.
I pick Gas under $8 a gallon.
That is enough to take the current Iranian government off the board as they have bad intentions for everyone.
Ben,
I know you have been watching. Our missiles, do not seem to be effective on Hypers. Iran is a lab, and our technology is proving to be wanting, in real time.
Hypers is a term for ballistic missiles and yes some of them have been less than 100% effective as Israel and most of the middle east is finding out.
The launchers are easier to target and are being targeted.
Iran was going to be global threat it really is time for them to go back to being a Republic more interested in trade and peace then pushing Shia brand religion.
"... yes some of them have been less than 100% effective..."
Ben,
...Less than 100% effective..."
Reminds me of a statement made by a Japanese Emperor:
"The war is going not necessarily to our advantage."
I am of the opinion that our best missiles are very ineffective in respect to the maneuverable glide projectiles currently being used. To suggest that our missiles are working well reminds me of the fighter in the ring...his cornerman says that the fighter is doing well and the other fighter hasn't laid a glove on him...he replies "You better start watching the referee, then, because somebody is beating the shit out of me..."
Time will tell, Ben.
Mr. K-
Great interview earlier this week...your guest's assertion that Iran has not attacked anyone in 300 years is fallacious-they've been conducting ongoing proxy warfare for many years thru hamas, hezbollah, houthi's, etc
Meanwhile ISIS, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood are longstanding US/UK proxies for destabilising the Middle East.
Sure. They may be friends to Barry Soetoro, Lolo Soetoro's adopted son and naturalized citizen of Indonesia (which forces citizens to give up citizenship in other countries -- meaning the Democrats knowingly seated a president who legally couldn't serve -- but that's old news, so who cares?), the convert to Islam John Brennan, and the CIA, but those outfits aren't the friends of America.
I'm not a friend of any of your presidents or of our prime ministers. None of them work for us. They don't even get to stand without being vetted by the Bilderbergers.
The one does NOT negate the other....
I didn't say it did. But it's the US that holds the Award for attacking most countries since WWII and carrying out regime change ops and colour revolutions. So it has zero moral high ground. Nothing happened to your country or mine for the outrage that was the Iraq war.
And who put Jolani the head-chopper-in-a-suit in power in Syria? UK, US and Israel.
OK. I'll bite. Please list all these countries which YOU believe DO have "moral high ground"?....
I don't think any 'regimes' have moral high ground. Countries are something else - they are made up of individuals who are moral entities (for good or bad). A regime is not a moral entity.
Sorry, nope. Please don't "move the goalposts". YOU used the word "countries", and then in reference to the actions of countries, you used the phrase "regime change", which means to change the government of a country. My question asked you about countries, NOT "regimes". "Regimes" are made up of people who are "moral entities". Are being pedantic, semantic, or simply illogical & irrational?.... And actually, a LOT happened to America because of that "Iraq war". Are you aware that the Bush dynasty & the Bin Laden family have $100's of millions in mutual investments through the Carlyle Group?.... Can you name the "3 Cities"?.... What branch of our Federal government, Executive, Legislative, or Judicial, does the "U.S. Federal Reserve" "bank" fall under?....etc., rsvp?
You are obviously a Demm and possibly a muslim as no one else would ignore the deaths and destruction brought to Americans by these vicious organizations. However, you may have a point regarding the UK who increasingly are being recognized as not on our side, or in our best interests, which includes the EU.
I'm in the UK and don't vote (since 2021). I wouldn't vote for the Fabians currently in power, or the Tories whose puppetmasters are the same as the Fabians', or indeed Farage who is a former banker and currently almost certainly a deep-state asset.
So, no, I'm not a 'Demm'. Or a muslim.
Also I'm a Christian, but not one of those heretical Christian Zionists. If you think the UK and US don't use proxies that harm their own people, I hope you wake up one day. You probably still think 9/11 was organised by a beardy bloke in a cave.
And you seem to lack perceptiveness, so probably best not to guess about other people. I don't know what you are as I don't know you from Adam.
Sheila, I am currently admiring the stance of Rupert Lowe in his effort to Restore Britain. This is a party I think most real Brits could get behind. How is it going?
Thanks for your response, and I apologize for my apparently mistaken ID of you. No, I do not trust the government, actually any government, as they strive for complete power by whatever means. I especially do not trust the British government or royal family, as too many problems in the U.S. can be traced to British actual control. Now, for an update on beliefs, JFK was not killed by the lone gunman; building 7 did not fall due to the aircraft crashing into the World Tower, but from nefarious means; et cet. I actually do have very acute perceptiveness among other attributes, with some failings. Have a nice day and I hope you have some good English weather today.
Thank you! I'm actually in Scotland where the weather is even worse. 🤣
Also, yes, although I couldn't possibly 'know', I have the impression that the City of London is the head of the snake. But I also think there's nothing particularly 'British' about it. I think you can trace it all back much further, but I won't elaborate as entire books have been written about it!
Building 7 fell as a result of damage to a corner from the wtc building collapsing on it and an uncontrolled fire.
Anything else is conspiracy nut baggery.
No, she is a brit and she is actually correct.
The US flew the Muslim brotherhood out of Egypt to Afghanistan which was the initial creation of the Taliban.
No, I am not a Democrat, but the US did dabble with Islamic terrorist groups off and on while using them to defeat the Russians.
Thank you, Ben.
The whole purpose of this war was to remove Israel's final rival in the ME and give them the space to become a world superpower. Netenyahu said as much in a speech yesterday. This war serves no tangible benefit to the US. It isn't MAGA, it isn't America first. It's to increase shareholder value, i.e. Israel first. And we have to eat the cost for their benefit.
And 90% of "MAGA" supports this nonsense, despite it being very unpopular, completely against Trump's promises and against the America first movement. Don't be shocked when the midterm results roll around. I really hope the opposition will reign this administration in and that a real popular hero will take the field in 28.
Israel has a strong, disciplined military, but it is in no position to become a "world superpower." That's just low-rent paranoia aimed at alarming the retarded.
You think bombing Iran and destroying the world economy was Trump’s idea? You think he has a plan that is different from the Zionist agenda of destroying their neighbors and taking their land?
No, to the first question and Yes to the second.
No, that's not the way Israel rolls. Their business model is to continually occupy more and more of an eventual Greater Israel - from the Euphrates to the Nile - while relying upon the big, dumb, manipulable US to prevent the populations they victimize from making them pay for it militarily. That won't work any more, but Netanyahu doesn't seem to realize that yet.
Jim, Bibi said it yesterday.
Bibi is being set up to become Goliath Israel, and little David Karma prepares his sling....
The real purpose of this war is to take out a regional power who has attacked all sorts of countries around them via proxies chanted death to America for fifty years and armed terror cells all over the middle east.
If Israel ceased to exist, they would start targeting Sunni countries and continue the Sunni Shite fighting that has been going on for a thousand years.
All this while building ever larger missile systems to deliver a payload across the region and beyond possibly even to land in your front yard.
They have also been sending drones to Russia that are killing Ukrainians a venture I feel is none of our business, but it is keeping that war going longer than it needs to.
The fact you chose to say otherwise reveals your motivation.
What caused the war?
Iran mocking during a nuclear meeting they already had enough material to make 11 nuclear weapons, and they did not need nor want free low-level material for peaceful power. They want nukes and will use them if they get them.
Iran wanted a confrontation and war it is part of their ruling 12'er sects' belief this conflict will bring in the last Mahdi a messianic figure.
So, when pundits and talk host say they are run by religious zealots that is a very simple truth.
This is a group of people who during the Iran/Iraq war had kids run across minefields with plastic keys to paradise cause tanks are expensive and little kids are not.
They use Hamas tactics of putting civilians right next to ripe military targets to use as propaganda pieces.
If they will do that to their own kids and people, what will they do to yours?
I don't expect you to do anything but double down on pro-Iranian propaganda.
I feel ashamed that you had to explain this as though ppl had never heard these things before. But, Ben, thank you for saying what I wanted to. It seems as though there are idiots punting around stupid ideas for the sake of trying to convince themselves that it’s all about Israel, and that our president never works for America. They are deluded and refuse to understand, and I tire of the endless love shown for anyone who is against America.

Neither Obama nor Biden did anything that was good for the country, and now we are faced with the terrorists that Biden let into the country. I'm sure they'll blame white supremacy for the coming terrorist attacks. Expect democrats to go after the second amendment when that happens. We know they want to eliminate it, anyway.

I hope I'm right in this and not just coping: It might be a sampling/selection error. Anyone who opposes the war has ditched the 'MAGA' title. Most of what's left are those fanatically loyal to Trump. So it's a tautology. The question asks those loyal to Trump if they are loyal to Trump. I'm probably just coping.
Nope. Iran refers to the US as "The Great Satan" and all school children are routinely taught to yell "Death to America!" and to hate Americans from nursery school on. There is tangible benefit to America and the West in not letting Islamists control the strait of Hormuz and promote jihadism across the planet. We've been running from addressing this for years; better now than later.
Yes when they have figured out how to make missiles that can fly further then the middle east and 10,000 of them tipped with high explosive semtex I believe was looted by the tons from Iraq.
The brand of political-islam practiced in Iran, IS a manifestation of human evil....
It's all about money, Occam. Raytheon, Northrup-grummond, Lockheed, they all profit immensely from war and the production of weapons of war. Ben even mentioned above that Lockheed stocks are going to do well thanks to the increase in production of missiles. Money has always been the motivation for war. Always. FDR induced Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor to get the US into the war to jump start the economy and pull the nation out of the Great Depression. It did but it also changed the world in terrifying ways. In all wars there are a few who become extremely wealthy. The rest suffer.
The strait of hormuz isn't open until Iran says it is. That's just a simple fact. There's only two ways to get it open, surrender and give into Iran's demands, or send in ground troops. It will be closed for months
You will discover that Iran does not have the only say in the matter.
Insanity is performing the same action repeatedly expecting different results. The USA comes in guns-a-blazin' and touting its technological superiority and then leaves whimpering with its tail between its legs.

War is necessary to justify a trillion dollar defense spending budget. Can't justify all that money without a war to fight. So, we find hapless nations and beat the hell out of them without really declaring any kind of official "war." Makes sense?
The military / industrial complex controls the US government, particularly the US Congress.
The USA lost the moral high ground many decades ago.
Joe Biden admitted publicly that as Vice President he offered the Ukrainian government $1 Billion of money belonging to U.S. working families if Ukraine would fire their prosecutor who was investigating corruption at a Ukrainian company where Biden’s own son was working. He said that his offer would expire that afternoon. Ukraine accepted and fired the prosecutor and Biden transferred the $1 billion. That’s not a crime? Apparently not for Pam Bondi. As sad as it is, we can’t expect any of the much more complex crimes to be prosecuted.
It's a matter of public record and he bragged about it while being filmed.
Once again proving the Democrats always accuse others of what they are actually doing or have done.
It’s a crime, of course, but with the hundreds of serious crimes committed by the Democrats, Bidens, etc., how are priorities decided? Even with hundreds of attorneys engaged in investigations and case management in the DOJ, evidence collection is weighty and time-consuming. Patience.
If that were the only case to be investigated…if.
James, you must be over the target. Lots of flack here from the Trolls.
Wishful thinking. I hope at least some comes true.
I also hope to see a surge in reporting on fraud. Either investigations first and prosecutions second or vice versa.
In some ways of thinking this is the most certain future truth, the low hanging fruit so to say for the current administration. And to think, Trump put going after this firmly in JD's hands. Hmmm.
1 He trusts JD,
2 He thinks JD will be like a dog with a bone, and
3 he thinks the Bondi/Patel crew needs some leadership and help in hat mucky end of the swamp.
It's the most obvious future as we move towards the mid terms, and independent media is beginning to help.
Uh huh…only CBS at this time asserts knowledge about the LA County fraud. We need to hear from more.

Their Gig is Up! We The People Have Had Enough!
Today’s edition of CFN was brought to you by Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman – the folks whose fabulously costly products failed to prevail in Afghanistan for twenty years.
Once again, no suggestion was made as to how Netanyahu’s War can possibly benefit the USA, regardless of outcome.
Time to burn your Persian rugs and plant Victory Gardens.
Expensive high tech weapons are the decisive factor in who wins a war, just as we learned in Vietnam.
B-52s vs punji sticks, and we clobbered them - didn't we?
The Soldiers and their weapons win the war until they run into Generals and Politicians.
To avoid this we want our servicemen and women to be equipped with the best weapons available for quick and decisive combat when required.
You honestly don't understand that we have lost all of these wars, do you, William. Remember when Rambo said "they wouldn't let us win"? That was bullshit. We were whupped.
Would you be defending the Nazi’s and also annoyed that our commercial industrial base was reengineered to make weapons to fight against this evil then.
The Death to America Ayatollah and his Republican Guard Force are good the Orange man bad and Israel must be removed troupe seems to miss the point.
Yes, William. You and I both recognize that there are good and evil in this world, but disagree as to which is which. It's as stark as that.
BTW, I do not regard the American people as evil, but the Uniparty that fronts those who rule the world certainly is, and the failing agenda they are still trying to enforce is hellishly so. The fact that they have duped President Trump into this colossal blunder is a terrible tragedy.
You're banned, Occam. For being a troll and vulgar.
It's a tough call, but I have to agree, James....
Does any of what's going on now affect you personally, and if not, why are you so angry?
Who talks down to anyone like this? Surely you have some good sense to reflect on what is really necessary to say.
Where does the author get his situational/military information, and why doesn't anyone else have or publicize that info?
It's out there. Twitter/X is always a shit storm, but there are knowledgeable and trustworthy people on all kinds of subjects. Just go to X and search Littoral Combat Ships.
For all panicans, go to the White House website and search for "National Security Strategy" and "Foreign Policy Strategy." Another is "The Fiscal Oversight Committee "FOC" 2025 Annual Report." They are well written explanations of Trump Admin. goals and strategy. I can hear the doomers already, "What a simp! Trusting anything that pedo Orange Hitler says."
Anyone who takes the time to read them will be able to connect the dots, because it's there in plain English. Eliminating threats to national security in the Western Hemisphere (Venezuela, Mexico, Cuba, Canada). Re-evaluating every relationship with current or former allies across the globe. No more multi-lateral trade deals, forge only reciprocal bi-lateral trade relationships with like-minded countries. Respect the culture and government systems of foreign nations, friend and foe, and end State Dept. meddling in foreign countries to force our values and culture onto another people. For threats domestic and external, first offer an open book test: negotiate in good faith so we can settle differences diplomatically. If you fail the open book test, we will take whatever means necessary to eliminate the threat to protect the interests of the American people. The FOC, for the first time in its history, has prioritized "the economic stability of the American home."
Maduro and the mullahs failed the open book test. Zelensky has a D- and will be dealt with. Cuba is currently negotiating. 60 countries have joined the Peace Board. Twelve Latin American countries were in Doral this past weekend, committed to destroy the drug cartels in their countries and secure the Western Hemisphere. Mexico and the U.S. are already working together to eliminate the cartels AND exit the USMCA multi-lateral trade agreement summer of 2026, forge a bi-lateral trade deal between just the U.S. and Mexico. Canada has refused to participate in negotiations.
Trump 47 is the most transparent administration in modern history. He's not shooting from the hip at whatever suits his fancy at the moment. He's also not playing 4-D chess. For chrissakes, it's all out there for public consumption, friend or foe, in black & white. For those who refuse to make an effort to understand what Trump is attempting but just like to black pill, STFU.
THANK-YOU!....THANK-YOU!....THANK-YOU!....
Many folks forget we are living in a digital Information age.
However I try to square this with my upbringing to don’t believe anything you hear and half of what you read. 🤔
Trouble is, Alan , plain English evades these people who get their ideas from legacy media and the NY Times.
Perhaps he pulls it out of his ass, pretty much like POTUS Trump did when he claimed Iran targeted their own school girls for death.
Although there is a big cover up going on in the US over the US heroic targeting of and attack on a school full of Iranian little girls, the International press, as well as some US outlets, are picking up on the story.
The main theme: Trump lied, kiddies died.
Can you imaging the outrage if Iran struck a school full of 170 American girls and claimed it was an accident? What penalty would people call for?
"Congress created a special Pentagon office to prevent the accidental targeting of civilians but it was dramatically scaled back by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth soon after he took office last year."
This gave Hegseth and POTUS "plausible deniability" for a strike on the girls' school. If blaming Iran failed, it could still be covered up by calling it a mistake and blaming it on resource limitations.
"In the case of Minab, the preliminary inquiry states that CENTCOM planners relied on DIA data and concluded that the school building remained part of the Sayyid al‑Shuhada complex, leading to “insufficient weight” being given to the obvious civilian presence.
In other words, even in the Pentagon’s own language, US officers consciously authorized a Tomahawk strike on a built‑up area that either they believed included an active school or that they did not bother to verify despite ample open‑source evidence that it was a school.
Furthermore, the Times indicates that the base was struck again roughly two hours after the initial barrage, implying that commanders had real‑time battle damage assessments and were aware of the devastation in the vicinity. The decision to continue the attack demonstrates that the killing of civilians, including scores of schoolgirls, was not unforeseen but an expected consequence of the military operation.
Given all of these reported facts, the question must be asked: Were Hegseth and Trump notified that the selected targets in Minab included a girls elementary school? If they were notified, did Hegseth and Trump give the final order to go ahead with the Tomahawk missile strike?"

Don't forget in 2002 when a school for girls caught on fire and the girls ran out of the building screaming. The Saudi religious police forced them back into the building because they whorishly ran from the flames without headscarves and hijabs. Forced back into the building they burned to death.
What we are fighting is that ideology. Islam is a global cancer, and we can see that in every country that has allowed jihadi invasion.
Except that the Sunni ideology of America's Saudi Arabian ally, who are archenemies of Iran's Shia theocracy, is the one that gave rise to al-Qaeda and its operatives, including the former al-Qaeda leader who is now president of Syria and was hosted by POTUS Trump at the White House
Hosted an enemy at the Whitehouse and that is called diplomacy.
Saying it was anything else is you spinning.
Should we not have dialog with enemies or simply just shoot those we don't like in the head?
We know where they are it wouldn't be that hard to Khaddaffi most of them.
Defend al-Qaeda all you like. It doesn't change the facts, Mr "No Doubt." It seems the Pentagon isn't attempting as inadequate a cover up as you did.
That is not a defense it is a simple statement of fact.
Do grow up some.
Instead of jumping both feet on every propaganda piece you come across for your childish propaganda war against the US.
I was waiting for facts to develop.
Facts are hard to argue with.
Fact this girl school was set next to a military site and the why has been used by groups like Hamas for YEARS.
Iran is a country that has used children to find mines by blowing themselves up instead of expensive tanks or military personal.
They will do anything to win including lying just like them saying they hit the USS Lincoln and sank her.
Psst I know people on the Lincoln right now it's a fabrication.
"Can you imaging the outrage if Iran struck a school full of 170 American girls and claimed it was an accident? What penalty would people call for?"
Anyone remember those economy-busting sanctions that were applied to the US and UK for illegally invading Iraq on the basis of deliberately falsified intelligence and killing a million people? No, me neither. One rule for me and another for thee.
When I first read about the devastating blow to a school in Iran I was inclined to think it was another in the long history of wartime propaganda. But the following days brought further evidence that suggested the report was for real, and shocking.
Collateral damage is part of war, but the strike on the girls school was somewhere on the spectrum from irresponsibility to a savage war crime. It may turn out to be for the Iran war what My Lai was for Vietnam.
Few other than Americans are going to believe it was the result of incompetence. They've all heard of Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Mai Lai and will not believe that the US does not target civilians. The reputation on the US is in the sewer.
I read this nonsense and remembered that this is war, and you have a serious case of TDS, and “the Times indicates” says it all. Look for reliable news sources.
Ah, the classic ad hominem + genetic fallacy combo: shout “TDS,” sneer at the source, and carefully avoid addressing a single fact. If your entire rebuttal is “I don’t like where the information came from,” you haven’t refuted the argument—you’ve just advertised that you can’t. Try engaging with the evidence instead of the insult generator.
The double tap method suggests to me that Israel may have influenced this attack (double tap being their MO), or that the US panicked and sent a second missile in hopes of silencing witnesses / preventing media coverage.
He most likely spends a great deal of time conducting research. As a writer, I suspect it is his day job.
It's a matter of Public record.
I find this information very interesting and it certainly lends credibility to what JHK writes, the mark of a great journalist and opinion-writer.
As per usual, James has the definitive article on this situation. I have to admit that even I have been falling victim to the endless anti-Trump/anti-war Propaganda and was beginning to wonder if maybe this whole thing might be a mistake.
I feel so much better after reading this, it just made my whole week better.
One other thing- let's not forget that there is another war with Islam taking place mainly in the UK and parts of the US like NY City and Little Mogadishu.
The Muslims are winning without firing a shot. They even have a mayor in place in what was once the greatest city in the world. How do we fight that battle?
Seems even trickier than the straits of Hormuz.
