Hezbollah fired over 50 rockets toward Israel on Friday, as the region awaits Iran’s response to the suspected Israeli strike on the Iranian Consulate in Syria on April 1. The Iran-backed Lebanese group said it fired dozens of Katyusha rockets at the Israeli military’s artillery positions, according to Hezbollah's Manar news agency. Al Jazeera reported the explosion of air interception rockets above border villages in southeast Lebanon. Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said several rockets were fired Friday evening from Lebanon toward Israel, stating that most of the rockets were intercepted. Those that were not downed fell in open spaces and did not cause casualties, he said

We couldn't get enough recruits for the Army so they said we didn't need them and cut the force. Pretty sure the Navy did the same thing. So here we are staring war in the face and inadequate number of people people in the armed services. Even worse I am a Veteran and I cannot recommend any young man to join the Armed Forces with it's present Commander in Chief. The same Commander in Chief who fired competent and trained men for not getting a Covid shot that didn't work.;

SHTF times are here. The warmongers' wet dreams are about to come true, war with Iran. While a victorious war over Iran would be ok, it will be bloody, as Iran more than likely has had combatants cross our southern border and allowed entry by Joey Baby. Look to see who will profit from this war. Wont be the Iranian populace, they will suffer. Wont be the Iranian mullahs, they will be deposed. American citizen blood will be shed at JB's expense. Look at JB's corporate sponsors, they will profit from Iran's reconstruction. This is IRAQ v 2.0.

How dare the Iranians! Hezbollah my aunt Fanny! It should be Zhezbollah or Theyzbollah and for their crack women’s special forces squad, Lezbollah! Missiles and bullets are so passe. If a war starts Iran better make sure that their army, with state-of-the-art equipment fresh from Bagram AFB thanks to Obiden is led by a trans or at least a woman.

If I were an Israeli citizen, I would be tired of 24/7 war, periodically interrupted by cease fires. Get it over with and wipe out your enemies. After the first two or three, the rest will scurry back into their rat holes.

When Iran starts aiming missiles at the USA I hope their first one is when the White House is at capacity, and it just happens to fall there. l can't believe I just said that!

After the missile and drone attack launched by Iran against Israel on Saturday, one can assume the Pentagon is concerned about an expansion of this hot war. The question of how much Joe Biden and his puppet master, Barack Obama, care remains unanswered, however (where is that Rashid Khalidi tape anyway, LA Times?). Biden's persistent undermining of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the president's political left flank calling for Bibi's ouster during a war have been politically punctilious, outrageous, and deflating. They telegraph the administration's antipathy toward the Israeli leader and desire for him to fail in his country's quest for survival.

Saturday on Newsmax2, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani argued the correct response to Iran’s attack on Israel would have been to hit Iran at the earliest stages of the strike as possible. Giuliani argued that was what former President Ronald Reagan would have done if he were facing similar circumstances. “I really do think we’re missing an opportunity, a historic opportunity here — if we had a president like my old boss in the White House,” he said. “Every time [when] I was mayor and I had to make a difficult decision, I would say, ‘What would Ronald Reagan do?’ I know what Ronald Reagan

Iran on Friday launched an attack on Israel a day after President Joe Biden warned Tehran not to. “Don’t,” Biden had told reporters after he was asked Thursday what his message to Iran was, after it had threatened to attack Israel in response to a suspected recent Israeli strike against seven members of the Iranian military, including two generals in Syria. “We are devoted to the defense of Israel,” he added. “We will support Israel. We will defend — help defend Israel, and Iran will not succeed.” Biden was planning on spending the weekend in Rehoboth Beach but returned earlier

Iran, through its United Nations mission in New York, issued a statement that appeared to offer Israel a way to prevent further escalation if it considers the conflict "concluded." "Conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus," the mission’s statement, posted on social media platform X, states. "The matter can be deemed concluded," the mission argued. "However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe.

The U.S. military has shot down an unspecified number of drones fired by Iran targeting Israel, according to a defense official. Iran launched a significant number of drones and missiles toward Israel on Saturday in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike that killed a senior Iranian military leader at the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria. The attack, which Iranian leaders had threatened to carry out since the April 1 strike, is ongoing as of Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday. “In accordance with our ironclad commitment to Israel’s security, U.S. forces in the region continue to shoot down Iranian-launched drones targeting Israel,” the official said. “Our forces remain

AMMAN: The Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission on Saturday announced that Jordanian airspace will be closed “temporarily” for inbound and outbound flights in light of rising regional risks. The commission said in a statement that the decision has been taken to ensure the safety and security of Jordanian aerospace in light of the rising escalation and after assessment of the potential regional risks. Stopping short from giving further details on the source of these risks, the commission said that Jordanian airspace would be closed to all incoming, departing, and transiting flights temporarily starting from 20:00 UTC, 11:00pm local time, for several hours

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden is catching up to former President Donald Trump’s polling lead, highlighting just how close the 2024 presidential election will be, according to a new poll from the New York Times and Siena College. Trump leads Biden by just one percentage point with both men at 46% and 45% respectively. The survey is a significant boost for the incumbent president who has been lagging behind Trump in recent polling. An earlier New York Times and Siena college poll released in March saw Trump leading Biden by 5 percentage points at 48% and 43% respectively. But Biden appears to be shoring up

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seized a cargo ship said to be “linked to Israel,” Iranian state media reported Saturday. The Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries vessel was boarded near the Strait of Hormuz between the United Arab Emirates and Iran and was being transferred to Iran’s territorial waters, according to state news agency IRNA. The ship is said to be operated by the Zodiac shipping company, which IRNA linked to Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer. However, Zodiac stated the ship is managed and operated by U.K.–based shipping company MSC. Video footage shows IRGC commandos rappelling from a helicopter onto the ship.

An Islamic terrorist went on a stabbing rampage in a Sydney mall, killing at least six people and stabbing a nine-month-old baby in the process. There was little doubt of the motive given the attack happened outside an Israeli restaurant in a Jewish neighborhood. Clear pictures of the attacker have also been released along with several videos. At one point, the terrorist was confronted by a lone hero, holding him off from continuing to stab people with what appears to be a pole or a bat. A police officer arrived on the scene and dispatched the attacker, though it's unclear how long it took for the response to arrive. Unfortunately,

The stock market was down sharply again today, as a result of fears of resurgent inflation. Inflation is second only to senility as a threat to Joe Biden’s campaign, and the campaign is desperate to find an answer. How desperate? They plan to blame Donald Trump: On Wednesday, after the latest inflation data showed an unexpected acceleration in price gains, Mr. Biden again tried to assure voters that he is focused on bringing down the cost of groceries, housing and other staples of everyday life, saying in a statement that “fighting inflation remains my top economic priority.”

Thanks to the wonders of Bidenomics, the average American is spending over a thousand dollars extra a month. Fortunately, Biden is focused on important things — like funding jihad supporters in Gaza and paying off student loans with taxpayer money the government cannot spare. Fox Business highlighted the $1,069 cost increase compared to three years ago before Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies drove up inflation higher than Hunter Biden smoking Parmesan cheese. Inflation has allegedly fallen since 2022, but the context for that statement is that inflation is still rising, just at a supposedly slower rate — inflation went up about 18% under Biden

Under the Biden administration’s CHNV program, some nationals hailing from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela can be eligible to come to the United States “in a safe and orderly way” and obtain humanitarian parole status, meaning they are here legally and can obtain work authorization. Over 400,000 migrants hailing from these nations have been flown into airports across the U.S. as of March, CBP said in a statement on Friday.

Former President Donald Trump gave House Speaker Mike Johnson a political lifeline Friday amid discontent with his leadership among conservatives in the House, saying, “I stand with the speaker, we’ve had a very good relationship." After a week filled with political setbacks for both men, and as Trump faces the first of four potential criminal trials beginning Monday in Manhattan, two of the country's most powerful Republicans met at Mar-a-Lago to unveil voting legislation they hope will put Democrats on the defensive, even as critics say it’s based on a false premise. Johnson is struggling to govern a fractious GOP caucus that has become increasingly disenchanted with his leadership,

About 2 1/2 years ago I wrote a post titled "California plans to kill the residential solar industry." At the time, I had just had solar panels installed on my roof to save money and within months California announced a new plan (Net Metering 3.0) that would have taxed me and anyone else who owned a rooftop solar system for owning the panels. I predicted that if this plan passed, California's rooftop solar industry would fall off a cliff. The result of Net Metering 3.0 is likely going to be the end of the residential solar industry in California. I have a neighbor who was interested in possibly getting
