President Trump's Masterstroke

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/16/2025 2:48:20 PM

On October 7, 2023, the Israelis were caught napping. Perhaps overconfident after multiple decisive wins in defensive wars since the modern Jewish state's inception -- and maybe internalizing a false sense of security, thanks to the Iron Dome shield -- they were shocked as Hamas terrorists invaded their territory, slaughtering nearly 1,200 people and taking hundreds of hostages. That vicious attack was designed to derail Israeli-Saudi peace negotiations. It was funded, supported, planned and green-lit by the Iranian regime. Ever since that historic failure by Israel's security apparatus, the tide has turned. Dramatically. The Israelis have decimated Hamas in Gaza, ignoring bleating

In reference to the into to this article, one point that seems to have been largely missed or unreported is that one reason the residents of those villages were such easy prey is that Israel does not allow its average citizens to own firearms. What a waste of know-how and manpower to have a nation with nearly universal military training but to then leave those former service members without the means to defend themselves and their families once they return to civilian life. That one village which did have a security force greatly reduced Israeli casualties and set the Muslim murders back on their heels. What might have been if every villager who desired to be had been adequately armed to resist the invading murderers.

I would argue that a point largely missing from the article is that many Israelis, particularly those living in the areas attacked by Hamas, as well as many of Israel's top military brass, believed the lie that they could appease the Palestinians and live peacefully with them. In fact, many of those killed and kidnapped were actively trying to help the very people who attacked them.

Egyptian authorities took dozens of anti-Israel activists into custody this past Thursday after thwarting a planned march to Gaza before deporting them, according to multiple reports. As many as 200 activists were detained in Cairo by Egyptian immigration authorities, who reportedly confiscated passports of the Europeans who sought to carry out a “Global March to Gaza.” Other activists who were allowed to remain in the country attempted to march to Gaza and clashed with local Egyptians, who threw water bottles and used clubs while the anti-Israel activists held a sit-in at a checkpoint, according to the Jerusalem Post. Some pro-Israel activists gloated about the incident on social media.
Los Angeles Looters Steal iPhones, Find

Apple’s advanced security measures are turning stolen iPhones into expensive paperweights for looters in Los Angeles. TechSpot reports that as riots aimed at federal immigration enforcement swept through downtown Los Angeles last week, several major retailers, including Apple, T-Mobile, and Adidas, fell victim to a wave of looting. Smashed windows and stolen goods left these companies counting the cost of the destruction. However, for those who made off with iPhones from Apple’s flagship store, the thrill of the heist was short-lived as they quickly discovered the high-tech security features that render the devices useless once taken off the premises. Apple’s retail locations are equipped with sophisticated anti-theft technology that disables display devices

Rapper Lizzo jumped to her social media to misquote a Florida county sheriff who warned protesters that if they break laws while protesting, they will face serious consequences, and maybe even death. Last week, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey warned protesters not to block local roads with their protests because drivers might run them over. He also predicted that if protesters throw bricks or bottles or point guns at police officers, the department will “kill you graveyard dead.” But Lizzo did not grasp the sheriff’s message, and instead claimed that Ivey was saying that he would “kill anyone who exercises their First Amendment right to protest,”

Follow the law, or forfeit the funding,” he warned.

Following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on Glenn Valley Foods, a meatpacking plant in Omaha, Nebraska, Americans and legal immigrants alike are hoping to score newly opened jobs once held by illegal aliens at the facility. As Breitbart News reported last week, ICE agents raided Glenn Valley Foods and arrested more than 70 illegal aliens who were working at the meatpacking plant. Company president Chad Hartmann has said that he uses E-Verify on every potential new hire and thus was unaware that any illegal aliens were working at the plant.

Israeli warplanes struck the headquarters of Iran’s state television network, IRIB, during a live news bulletin. The broadcast was interrupted by a deafening explosion that sent smoke and debris billowing through the studio — forcing the anchor to abandon her desk mid-sentence and flee as the line went dead. More from News 18: It comes after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the “Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappearing.” The Iranian media said the explosion happened while a presenter was delivering a live on-air criticism of Israel. Moments later, she was seen leaving the broadcast, with footage of the incident widely circulated online.

Brennan's history of attempting to fight a battle of wits with no ammunition against the likes of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and even former Secretary of Defense under President Barack Obama, Robert Gates, has been a disaster for the Trump-loathing hack.

Hispanics and younger voters support the deportation actions by President Donald Trump's administration following days of chaos from the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. According to a new poll released on Monday from the League of American Workers (LAW) and TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP), nearly six out of ten registered voters support the administration's "pace of deportations … prioritizing individuals with criminal records." And when those numbers are broken down, a vast amount of the support comes from Hispanic voters. The survey found that 53 percent of Hispanic voters said they supported it, and another 27 percent said they strongly supported it.

Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the United States via Arab intermediaries, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing officials. The report quotes officials as saying that Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the US doesn’t join the hostilities. They also sent messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Sunday. "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we're not even talking about going after the political leadership," said one of the sources, a senior U.S. administration official. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said top U.S. officials have been in constant communications with Israeli officials in the days since Israel launched a massive attack on Iran in a bid to halt its nuclear program.

House Speaker Mike Johnson rightly stated that Sen. Alex Padilla's thuggy behavior, lunging into the personal space of Homeland Secuity Secretary Kristi Noem as she was trying to give a speech in Los Angeles, was well worth congressional censure. But that's not how the left saw it. The Los Angeles Times ran an op-ed by a leftwing lawyer-activist with this headline: Trump’s war on Latinos reaches a new low in abuse of Sen. Alex Padilla Rep. Ilhan Omar called the apprehension of the hulking apparent attacker on a slight woman giving a speech "lawless" and demanded an investigation.

A long list of Hollywood celebrities took to the streets Saturday as tens of thousands of mostly white, older Americans joined the “No Kings” protests in many big, deep-blue cities. Celebs including Mark Ruffalo, Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Cryer, and more were seen mixing with the hoi polloi in places like New York City and Los Angeles. For instance, Disney and Marvel Studios star Mark Ruffalo, who was seen parading with actress Susan Sarandon, turned out on the streets of New York City to join the anti-Trump crowds. “We see a president who has made himself a king and a dictator,” Ruffalo absurdly declared at the rally.

The Dem Minnesota state lawmaker who was assassinated by a crazed gunman in a rubber mask crossed party lines just days earlier and made a critical vote revoking health care coverage for illegal migrants. Melissa Hortman, the state House Democratic leader, was the only member of her party to side with Republicans and vote to repeal taxpayer-funded healthcare coverage for adult illegal immigrants as part of this year’s budget bill. She and her husband were gunned down on Saturday in Brooklyn Park just outside of Minneapolis, shortly after the same assassin is believed to have gravely wounded Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.

It’s strange how I keep being told by the regime media and Democrat political flunkies, to the limited extent that those are different things, about how I didn’t vote for what Donald Trump is doing to illegal aliens. I keep hearing about how I don’t want ICE raiding Home Depots, factories, and non-Beatles strawberry fields or sending away 30-year illegal aliens or illegal alien honor students. I’m told that Donald Trump only promised to deport criminal aliens – in the sense that they committed other crimes besides the crime they committed by being illegal aliens – and that Trump can’t actually send criminal aliens away either.

After a U.S. district court judge barred parts of Donald Trump’s election integrity executive order in April, a coalition of 19 Democrat attorneys general found a second district court judge to block other crucial provisions of the order. Along with the requirement of proof of citizenship to register to vote, these provisions include measures that strengthen security protections for overseas voting and ensure that ballots meet an Election Day deadline instead of straggling in for weeks on end. By law, only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections. But left-leaning Massachusetts Judge Denise J.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), whom most people couldn’t pick out of a line-up before last week, wants America to believe his little performance during a Homeland Security press conference was totally spontaneous. Just an organic moment of righteous frustration, he claims. But we know better—his whole stunt reeked of a desperate cry for attention, and the more he tries to explain it away, the more obvious that becomes. Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Padilla tried spinning his headline-grabbing antics as an innocent attempt to get information. “You can’t script this in Hollywood,” he said with dramatic flair, insisting he just happened to be near the press conference
