Iranian weapon debris, blown to pieces or mechanically crippled, keeps dropping from the Middle East sky.For that, we can thank heat-seeking satellites, military-grade malware and radar-jamming software, all made in America. New technology laser weaponry has also been deployed against Iran as part of Operation Epic Fury,[snip] A US Navy destroyer vessel off the coast of the Middle East nation is fitted with the new weapon, which appears to be the High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) system[snip]a state-of-the-art device with a steerable head, able to concentrate a “intense, tightly focused beam” of energy
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told Angel Families who were present in the audience that he was “sorry,” but that Americans are more likely to be murdered by fellow Americans than illegal aliens. “For the folks that are here and your families, I’m sorry. It’s terrible what happened to your children and family members, but they are more likely, American citizens are more likely to be attacked by United States citizens who are not undocumented who came here and who were born here,” Cohen told Angel Families. “[Americans] are more likely to commit these crimes.”
President Trump is pushing back on arguments from former Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson the president's so-called MAGA base does not support his recent air strikes on Iran, saying "MAGA is Trump." “I have to do what’s right, number one – and you can’t have Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That’s predominant to me,” Trump told independent journalist Rachel Bade on Monday. “I think that MAGA is Trump – MAGA’s not the other two,” Trump said of Carlson and Kelly. “MAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe. And MAGA loves what I’m doing — every aspect of it…
Last week, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents who worked on the case investigating Donald Trump for taking top-secret materials to his Mar-a-Lago residence after his first term was over. Those agents have now been revealed to be part of an elite group specializing in assessing threats from Iran, according to two reports.Multiple sources with knowledge of the personnel move told the New York Sun and confirmed to MS Now that the layoffs impacted the counterespionage group tasked with investigating threats from foreign adversaries out of Iran just days before the US bombed its leaders.
Congressman Randy Fine (FL-06) became the source of heated criticism when he said Saturday on social media, “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”[snip] The comment is pretty eye-opening when taken out of context — but it becomes more understandable when you realize he was reacting to a dog-hating tweet by a pro-Palestinian activist named Nerdeen Kiswani[snip]Fine's guest to Trump's primetime address will be his father, Alan Fine, along with his father's seeing-eye service dog, Sadie.
We focus a lot on the various forces of Islamic terrorism around the world, and that's justified; there are far too many jihadi goblins out there. But once in a while we are reminded that we have our own, home-grown nutjobs, too. One such is one Dawson Noah Maloney, who sent himself to his own just desserts after an aborted attack on a Las Vegas-area power substation.(snip) Oddly, the attempted attack was allegedly carried out by someone who had driven all the way from New York, which is curious in itself. Why come all that way? Why Las Vegas?

On Friday, President Trump spoke to the White House press corps about the Supreme Court's tariff decision, the dissents, and what tools are still available for the Executive Branch to impose tariffs and other trade restrictions on foreign countries.(snip) President Trump notes that the Court's decision leaves several other avenues for the imposition of tariffs, some of which are already in progress.(snip) "The good news is that there are methods, practices, statutes and authorities as recognized by the entire court... that are even stronger than the IEEPA tariffs available to me as President of the United States."
President Donald Trump came out to speak to the press from the White House on Friday to express his feelings on the Supreme Court's Decision to rule against his broad tariffs, which he imposed through a series of executive orders last year, under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). He began by saying the ruling was "deeply disappointing," and that he was "ashamed of certain members of the court — absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country."
The president also thanked Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito
A fierce Washington, DC, grandmother stole the show at President Trump’s Black History Month celebration, defending him against charges of racism.
Forlesia Cook, whose grandson was killed in a 2017 shooting, took to the stage to praise Trump’s tough stance on crime and fired back at those who would criticize his treatment of black Americans. “I love him.

Former President Joe Biden told mourners at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s memorial service Friday that he is "a h--- of a lot smarter than most of you," a pointed remark that stood out during his tribute to the late civil rights leader. Biden made the comment while recounting how he was mocked as a child for his stutter and how speech impediments are often mistaken for a lack of intelligence.
"If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed," Biden said. "But it’s OK to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid.
President Trump didn’t attend the star-studded memorial service for the Rev. Jesse Jackson but he was at the top of mind for many of its speakers. Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Al Sharpton all used their eulogies to take pot shots at the president, his policies, and his vision for America.
“Let me just say I predicted a lot about what’s happening right now,” Harris bragged as the crowd roared in applause. “I’m not into saying I told you so but we did see it coming." She did not mention Trump by name but it was clear she was talking about his presidency. Trump overwhelmingly beat her
At times, you could be forgiven for having thought that Kristi Noem wanted to be a uniformed Department of Homeland Security officer rather than the secretary of the department.
Now, the cabinet member most inclined to glamour shots out in the field is going to have to go back to wearing civilian clothes.
For all his trademark firings during “The Apprentice” and the rapid turnover of his first term, President Trump has been loath to oust top officials this time around.
Noem is the exception, and she’s earned the dubious distinction.
Incompetent and preposterously self-promoting,
A Democrat Minnesota state lawmaker has called for a study to see if there is a "benefit of shoplifting and retail theft" while he was discussing the topic in a committee meeting on Thursday.
Democrat state Rep. Dave Pinto stated, "Yesterday, there was a presentation from a group seeking to change how we address organized retail theft,
and I actually had not occurred to me to ask, it probably would have been good, it would have been good to make sure that they would study sort of the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft because perhaps people are relying on that and sort of using that. Maybe it's

The cranky Vermont senator who believes billionaires should be abolished wants to legislate them out of existence. It’s too bad that he doesn’t understand that one billionaire is more valuable than a thousand Bernie Sanders.
“Billionaires should not exist,” Sanders, who identifies as a socialist, raged in 2019 during his previous attempt to hit the wealthy with an additional tax that punished them for their success.
That effort, the New York Times reported, was “particularly aggressive in how it would erode the fortunes of billionaires” and “would cut in half the wealth of the typical billionaire after 15 years,
Thursday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) said former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will have to answer questions from investigators in Minnesota.
Walz said, “Former Secretary Noem should probably get used to spending more time in Minnesota because I have a pretty good feeling in the future she may be doing that because we have got to get accountability.”
Host Jen Psaki said, “When you say she, she’s just expect to spend some time, more time in Minnesota what do you mean by that?”
Walz said, “Well, look, our folks are going to be, looking into each and every one of these incidents that happened.

President Trump cast Tucker Carlson out of his Make America Great Again movement following the conservative talking head’s loud criticism of the US and Israeli assault on Iran.
“Tucker has lost his way,” the commander-in-chief told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl on Thursday. “I knew that a long time ago, and he’s not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.”
The comments came after Carlson recently called the strikes on Iran “absolutely disgusting and evil.”
Tucker Carlson smiles while Donald Trump,
A long-time U.S. Supreme Court reporter for the New York Times, Linda Greenhouse, recently wrote a surprisingly candid description of how U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts added "gratuitous" language into his opinion on the recent tariff case, personally criticizing the president on record. Greenhouse conveniently frames the justice's indulgence, however, as a legitimate "warning" to both the president and "the waiting world." She states that Roberts "is losing patience with Trump." Apparently, the chief justice is thought to be entitled to act as a shadow president.

Does being an European "ally" of America even mean anything anymore? That's a valid question after several NATO nations not only initially denied the use of their military bases during Operation Epic Fury, the ongoing attack on Iran, but also offered tacit support for the Islamic regime. Perhaps the most public betrayal came from Spain, whose left-wing prime minister claimed the United States was violating "international law."Given Spain's history over the last century or so, it wasn't exactly surprising that they'd take the side of Islamic fascists over the country that pays for their defense.
The potential appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei is proving what Israel has long known: It has no intention of ever abandoning its destructive doctrine: Death to America, and death to Israel. Mojtaba Khamenei, the second-eldest son of former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, is reportedly set to succeed his slain father as Iran’s next supreme leader, as the Islamic Republic moves to preserve continuity while battling Israel and the United States.
He has long been considered his father’s chosen heir apparent. He is reported to have formed close ties with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and is thought to have gained increasing control over the regime’s decision-making
The New York Times sulkily refuses to give President Trump any credit for eliminating the power structure of an authoritarian, murderous Islamic regime working hard to build a nuclear weapon, one that’s bedeviled America, Israel, and the Western world by supporting terror attacks for over 40 years. The latest example of the paper’s petulance ran on Wednesday’s front page, a “news analysis” by Tyler Pager: “Initiating War Is Legacy Risk For President.” Pager got off to a dismal start, with a dense parade of Iran negatives. Six American service members were killed, and U.S. military jets were shot out of the sky. Investors are bracing for market
American gasoline prices continued to rise on Friday and are up the most of any week since 2022. Iran widened attacks on energy-producing countries near its borders and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to shipping, dashing hopes for a quick resolution to a crisis sending shockwaves through global markets. The United States last Saturday began a military campaign in Iran, one that has continued throughout the week with aggression. Friday at 1 p.m. Eastern, the U.S. national average price for regular gasoline had jumped approximately 35.9 cents per gallon from the same time in the previous week, reaching approximately $3.34 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.
