The US launched 'dozens of precision airstrikes' in Syria on Sunday after rebels ousted longtime despotic leader Bashar al-Assad. The strikes were carried out against known ISIS camps and operatives based in Central Syria, according to US Central Command. This ongoing operation's objective was to prevent ISIS from taking advantage of the chaos and reorganizing after their attempt at a state collapsed in 2019, according to the Pentagon. The US military struck 75 targets using war planes, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s. So far, there are no indications of civilian life lost.

It’s possible that we are talking about two different issues and enemies. The Islamist groups that have taken over Syria are no doubt potential enemies of the USA as they have been designated as terrorist groups. But Biden and his crew claim that they bombed ISIS, a specific terrorist group in Syria that is an actual enemy of the USA based upon their past actions, and that the bombing was accomplished in order to keep them (ISIS) from reconstituting themselves as a fighting force in Syria. So we will have to wait for the result. Overall the USA should stay out of the Middle East Wars, but the USA, once they find an actual enemy of the USA someplace in the Middle East that poses a threat should take military action if appropriate.

Joe or his puppeteer is going to do whatever it takes to leave a mess for President Trump, and this one’s a doozy. It speaks volumes to the absolute obsession of this administration to harm President Trump’s ability to govern. These people are deadly serious about it so much so they would recklessly put us in the middle of another Middle East war. That place is like quicksand and will swallow many of our young men and women up before Trump even is inaugurated. I cannot wait to be shed of these war mongering fools who believe every life on the planet is more valuable than our own men and women’s. Biden since he started cheerleading for the Ukraine war is clearly in that camp. He just could not gin up the rhetoric fast enough. Look what he has done to the poor Ukrainians, he has destroyed their lives and country and for what? I think we all know it comes down to money. However, this display of recklessness has a much more immediate and dangerous consequence. Regardless of the reason, the American people are tired of fighting to enrich the fat cats in Washington. I know I am tired of watching our men and women come home in flag draped caskets or watch them deal with devastating injuries. Enough. We have tried endless war and it is just indefensible when they bypass any chance of vigorously advocating for negotiation.

Looks like Biden is busily at work creating yet another hot steamy mess for President Trump to deal with. Biden hasn’t been this busy since the start of his administration when he undid everything Trump did to bring the invasion of illegals under control and created inflation that rivaled the Jimmy Carter inflation. The MSM has been ignoring this new batch of disasters Biden is creating to sabotage Trump before leaving office. It looks like Biden and the deep state is preparing to prevent President Trump from implementing the mandate he has been given by the American people.

NEW YORK -- Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York City hotel, is now charged with murder, according to court documents. The New York City Police Department and Mayor Eric Adams announced on Monday the 26-year-old was taken into custody earlier in the day on forgery and illegal gun charges in Pennsylvania. At the time, he was still considered a person of interest in the case. "He matches the description of the identification we've been looking for, he's also in possession of several items that we believe will connect him to this incident,"

The suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s slaying was reported missing by his family last month after losing touch with them following a recent back surgery, according to sources and reports. Luigi Mangione, 26, was captured in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday after he was spotted eating at a McDonald’s by an employee of the fast food restaurant who believed he resembled the gunman wanted over last week’s brazen shooting outside a Manhattan hotel. Mangione — an Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family — was found carrying a ghost gun, masks and rambling writings linking him to the ambush, authorities said.

It’s hard to imagine any administration feeling enthusiastic about handing over power to a new president, especially after a hard-fought and often bitter campaign. However, for a regime that has relentlessly sought not only to defeat but to destroy its opponent, a smooth transition becomes almost impossible. Despite the irony that President Joe Biden may have actually cast a vote for President-elect Donald Trump, it’s evident that he and his team are actively creating obstacles to hinder their successors. In ways large and small, from domestic policy to foreign affairs, the most un-American and power hungry administration in modern memory appears determined to obstruct Trump’s agenda.

Daniel Penny has been found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway car in 2023. Penny, 26, pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. The judge dismissed the second-degree manslaughter charge against Penny on Friday after jurors said they could not come to a unanimous decision. The jury could only consider the negligent homicide charge if Penny was cleared of manslaughter, which is what the dismissal did.

Exposure to lead in gasoline during childhood resulted in many millions of excess cases of psychiatric disorders over the last 75 years, a new study estimates. Lead was banned from automobile fuel in 1996. The study, published Wednesday in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, looked at its lasting impact in the U.S. by analyzing childhood blood lead levels from 1940 to 2015. According to the findings, the national population experienced an estimated 151 million excess mental health disorders attributable to exposure to lead from car exhaust during children’s early development.

McConnell apparently disagrees. He suggested at the annual Reagan National Defense Forum that MAGA is responsible for the managed decline, even though the movement is only eight years old.

Even more incredibly, leading House Democrats have obliged him. Much of this bizarre saga Rep.

Undeniable, too, is that no police officer in recent memory has received anything like the treatment proffered to Byrd for a comparable shooting. Indeed, only in the DIE-infested miasma

The suspected killer of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson is the heir to a holiday resort fortune created by his grandparents - and the brother of a top doctor. Luigi Mangione, 26, comes from a powerful Maryland family centered around the late patriarch Nicholas Mangiano, a first-generation American who built a real estate empire in the state that included country clubs and media. Nicholas, who died in 2008 aged 83 after suffering a stroke, was the owner of Turf Valley Resort and Hayfields Country Club, as well as the radio station at the WCBM-AM. Nicholas was born in Baltimore's Little Italy to a poor family but worked his way up from nothing.

The accusation came after Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), who led the House Administration Committee’s oversight investigation, said in January his computer forensic investigators discovered that 117 files went missing, presumably deleted or encrypted by the panel’s members.
