When Mary McCord’s friend, Laura Ingraham, asks Steve Witkoff about the leaked classified intelligence reports shaped to say the Iran nuclear hits did not do much damage, Witkoff gives details of the damage created. As noted by Witkoff in the lead up to this review, the fighting is over, Iran is defeated. WATCH (prompted): (Video)The scope of intelligence community control over information, including information from new and traditional media, is so extensive, I would challenge everyone to be exceptionally cautious about the background motives of all media personalities.

Comments:

Except that Mary McCord is one of the bad guys, I have no idea what SD is alluding to. I was interested in what Witkoff had to say. Glad I watched the video.

Unless I am confused here, you don't need a "reactor" to enrich uranium. I don't know the specifics but enrichment is done chemically and mechanically. So it seems to me that Witicoff is misinformed about the processes. While I am confident the facilities in Iran were mostly turned to dust, I am not impressed with our spokesperson, if he thinks uranium is enriched in a nuclear reactor.

The conversion facility that he spoke about converts metallic uranium into uranium hexafloride gas, which is fed in to cascades of ultracentrifuges to do enrichment, in gaseous form. Once the gas is enriched to the necessary level, the gas has to be converted back to metallic uranium, and then machined into to proper shape for a weapon. Most of the very delicate centrifuges were destroyed, and the conversion facility to feed the centrifuges, and do the back end metallic reconversion are gone. Not something fixable in months.

Re #1, yes, he misspoke with the repeated mention of non-existent "reactors". The start of the process is the chemical conversion of metallic uranium into uranium hexafloride gas. The gas is fed into centrifuges where the extremely small weight difference between U235 and U238 is used to seperate the two. The U235 is the "useful" stuff for bombs and reactors. U238 is used in shielding and in armor piercing military tank ammo. At the end of enrichment, the gas is converted back to metallic uranium. No reactors.

The coordination between the propaganda press and Senate Democrats was pitifully obvious on Wednesday during Emil J. Bove III’s judicial confirmation hearing. The New York Times teed up a perfectly timed hit piece that ran a day before the hearing. Then Democrats used it to make numerous desperate swings at Bove. He anticipated their questions and started answering, right from his opening statement. “I am someone who tries to stand up for what I believe is right,” Bove said. “I’m not afraid to make difficult decisions.

In her role as staff secretary, before she was moved to the Domestic Policy Council, Tanden “was responsible for handling the the flow of documents to and from the President,” sending decision memos to “Biden’s inner circle” and affixing the president’s autopen signature to the documents when she received approval.

In 1866, Ohio congressman and future president James Garfield championed the creation of a federal Department of Education to address high illiteracy levels among former slaves and an influx of European immigrants. As part of the post-Civil War Reconstruction effort, the former Confederate states were required to guarantee education for all in their rewritten constitutions. The new federal agency would monitor and enforce compliance, according to a brief history of the Department of Education published by The Conference Board think tank.

The Fed chair once warned against using speculative forecasts to drive policy. Now he’s doing exactly that. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell made a quiet but extraordinary admission on Tuesday: if the Fed were following the actual data, it would be cutting interest rates. But it isn’t—because the Fed expects President Trump’s tariffs to raise inflation, and it’s choosing to act on that forecast instead. “If you just look at the basic data and don’t look at the forecast, you would say that we would’ve continued cutting,” Powell told lawmakers. “The difference, of course, is at this time all forecasters are expecting pretty soon that some significant inflation will show up

The Trump administration accused a federal district judge of defying the Supreme Court’s new deportation ruling by insisting the administration still cannot swiftly remove a group of migrants with serious criminal records to South Sudan. “This motion addresses the district court’s unprecedented defiance of this Court’s authority,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote to the justices Tuesday. A day earlier, the Supreme Court lifted U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy’s injunction that guaranteed migrants the ability to raise persecution claims before the Trump administration deports them to a country where they have no ties, a process known as third-country removals.

As noted by Fox News, the order, which was issued by Biden-appointed District Court Judge Brian Murphy, directed the Trump administration “to keep in U.S. custody all migrants slated for deportation to a country not ‘explicitly’ named in their removal orders – known as a third-country deportation.”

“The fight doesn’t end here.” Gavin Newsom made that announcement on Thursday, soon after a federal appellate court ruled President Donald Trump retains control over the California National Guard. By Friday morning, the overturned district court judge repeated the mantra, but in subtler, more judicious terms designed to obscure his bias and his intent to halt the president’s use of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles. The apparent plan is now to find the president’s deployment violates the Posse Comitatus Act, which goes to show that judges bent on executing a coup by courts also have six ways to Sunday to rebel against the duly elected president.

This is a fair question from Matt Continetti, who recites some of the relevant quotations before posing it. I'll add to the list. President Bill Clinton described a nuclearlzed Iran as intolerable and signed the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000, "which authorize[d] him to take punitive action against individuals or organizations known to be providing material aid to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs in Iran." President George W. Bush intoned in 2008 that "permitting the world’s leading sponsor of terror to possess the world’s deadliest weapon would be an unforgivable betrayal of future generations."

Zohran Mamdani, winner of the Democratic Party’s New York City mayoral primary, is overflowing with Marxist ideas of how to govern that are so lousy that it’s hard to believe he got more than his own vote in Tuesday’s election. Each of them is horrendous, from free bus services to rent control to punitive taxes on those who create prosperity, but none are quite so laughable as his proposal to establish a chain of city-run grocery stores. Mamdani’s campaign literature – overflowing with empty leftist jargon – says if elected he “will create a network of city-owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit.”

Enjoying a surge of support from progressive and younger voters, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is a big step closer to becoming the first Muslim mayor of the nation's most populous city. While the Associated Press had yet to project a winner in New York City's Democratic Party mayoral primary Tuesday night, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo saw the writing on the wall, telling supporters at an election night gathering that Mamdani "won." Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assembly member from Queens who is originally from Uganda, topped the former three-term governor and nine other candidates in a crowded primary field in an election that was determined by ranked-choice voting.

The Iranian foreign ministry admitted that their nuclear facilities were “badly damaged” by U.S. strikes over the weekend after reports surfaced about a low-confidence U.S. intelligence assessment suggesting otherwise. Numerous outlets reported Wednesday on an early intelligence assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency suggesting the U.S. strikes only set Iran’s nuclear program back a few months. The White House strongly disputed the intelligence assessment and criticized the leakers within the intelligence apparatus. “This alleged ‘assessment’ is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community.

Little-known Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani upset former Governor Andrew M. Cuomo for the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City on Tuesday night. The governor conceded the race shortly after 10 p.m., though ranked-choice voting totals have yet to be tabulated. Self-described democratic socialist Mamdani led Cuomo by more than seven percentage points late Tuesday night, with almost 90 percent of the votes counted. Mamdani had 43.5 percent of the vote, with the former governor trailing at 36.3 percent when he conceded. “Tonight was not our night,” Cuomo said in his remarks. “Tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani’s night.”

Khamenei spoke in a video broadcast on Iranian state television, his first appearance since June 19. He told viewers that the U.S. had only intervened in the war because “it felt that if it did not intervene, the Zionist regime would be utterly destroyed.” But he said, however, that the U.S. “achieved no gains from this war.

CNN last week got their hands on a classified document stolen from the National Security Agency. That’s a felony punishable by ten years in prison, by the way. The stolen document guessed that the efforts by Israel and America to neutralize Iran’s nuclear weapon program had set back the program by only “a few months.” CNN and the rest of the media cabal could hardly contain their glee. They celebrated the failure of America and Israel. Hardly mentioned in CNN’s report was that the document itself noted that its conclusions were merely “preliminary” and were expressed with only “low confidence.”

Florida is about to make a bold statement in the ongoing national debate over illegal immigration, and it’s not just talk — it’s action. The Sunshine State is rolling out a new approach that’s as tough as it is practical: setting up a string of detention centers specifically for illegal immigrants with criminal records. The centerpiece of this initiative is a facility tucked deep in the Everglades, built on the bones of an abandoned airfield, and already earning an unforgettable nickname from state officials: “Alligator Alcatraz.” The name isn’t just for show. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier made it clear that this is no ordinary detention center.

Trump administration officials on Tuesday slammed a leaked preliminary intelligence assessment of the damage done to Iran’s nuclear facilities by weekend US airstrikes that the president has touted as a massive success. The classified Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) bomb damage assessment — deemed a “low confidence” estimation of the effectiveness of Saturday’s strikes on the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz sites — reportedly determined that Iran could bring its nuclear program back online as quickly as within one to two months, according to Fox News. On the high end, estimates indicate that Iran could restart uranium enrichment within a year, according to those who viewed the DIA report.
