One War and 5 Scenarios to End It

The second scenario is for Trump to refocus on Iran's arsenal of missiles by claiming it has been wiped out thus enabling him to end the war. However, that would mean becoming hostage to fortune. It would be sufficient for Tehran to fire a rocket or a drone just days after Trump's declaration of victory to show that the leader of the mightiest power in history has thrown in the towel a bit too soon. The third scenario, favored by some in Trump's kitchen cabinet but absolutely hated by Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu is the Venezuela model:

More than half of the NYPD’s Joint Terrorism Task Force cops can retire right now, along with thousands of sergeants, lieutenants and captains, worrying officials about the future of terror and crime fighting in Gotham, The Post has learned.
Forty-five of 82 JTTF detectives – or 55% – have 20 years under their belts, which is enough time on the job to leave with a full pension, according to union data.
There are 2,161 active detectives in the NYPD and 1,232 of them — or 57% — are in the same boat, eligible for a full pension after 20 years.

Iran makes chilling threat to target tourist

sites worldwide — as spring break kicks

Iran threatened Friday to start targeting tourist sites worldwide — just as spring break kicked off across the United States.
Iranian military spokesman Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi blasted out the chilling warning on state TV as he vowed that popular tourism havens would no longer be safe for Tehran’s enemies.
“From now on, based on the information we have about you, even parks, recreational areas, and tourist destinations anywhere in the world will no longer be safe for you,” the military official said.
On Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul finally started tiptoeing toward reality on New York’s climate law.
In a lengthy opinion column, she laid out her proposal to postpone by a decade the state’s stringent greenhouse-gas emissions rules, set by law to hit in 2030 — pointing fingers at everything from COVID-19 to upstate NIMBYism to President Donald Trump to justify waving the white flag.
But Albany legislators should never have imposed these draconian CO₂ emissions targets to begin with.
Even in 2019, when the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act was passed,
Russian President Vladimir Putin this week reportedly offered to stop sharing targeting intelligence with Iran if the United States agreed to do the same in Ukraine.
Reports of Russian targeting support for Iranian operations against U.S. targets surfaced early in the war. The U.S. has long provided Ukraine with intelligence throughout the war.
Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev reportedly made the offer to Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who rejected the plan, according to Politico, which cited "two people familiar" with the negotiations.
The offer comes as Iran continues to target U.S. facilities and critical infrastructure in the Persian Gulf.
On March 11, the California Attorney General, along with 16 additional Democrat states, filed a complaint in federal court against President Trump’s requirement that state universities collect and make public data on student admissions for race, GPA, and SAT scores. On Friday, March 13, federal Judge F. Dennis Saylor gave schools extra time to comply—by March 25 instead of March 18.
The Trump requirement is the administration’s effort to implement the Supreme Court’s 2023 Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) opinion, which found racial preferences in university admissions unlawful, including for diversity or “DEI” rationales.
Trump’s efforts deserve support:
Voting Without ID: An American Anomaly
7 replies
Democracies depend not only on fair elections but on public confidence that elections are fair. Once people begin to doubt the integrity of the system, the legitimacy of the outcome begins to wobble. In the United States today, few issues have done more to shake that confidence than the debate over voter identification.
The strange thing about the debate is that identification is required for almost everything else.
Americans must show ID to board an airplane, obtain employment, open a bank account, collect Social Security benefits, purchase alcohol or tobacco, or obtain a driver’s license. Identity checks are simply part of everyday life.
I think a few years ago, one European diplomat said, “Well, he’s a bull in a China shop, only he’s a bull in a nuclear China shop.” Maybe, maybe not.
But let’s just review what’s taking place right now. For the second time, we’re bombing Iran, and this time the negotiations clearly were not going to lead to this 47-year problem resolution.
Iran’s theocracy has no intention of stopping nuclear proliferation. It wants a bomb to dominate the Middle East, to intimidate the petro kingdoms of the Gulf, to show its dominance over Sunni Islam, and to destroy eventually Israel, threaten Europe for blackmail concessions and eventually us.
It seems impossible that a man like Tom Steyer could have a realistic chance at being one of the two top finishers in California’s June 2 jungle primary. But Steyer, like the other seven Democrats and two Republicans that are running viable campaigns in the crowded race, doesn’t have to appeal to a very large percentage of voters to come out in first or second place. He’s up against several politicians with durable constituencies, splitting the vote so thoroughly that it is conceivable that the top performer could win with only around 20 percent of the vote.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday announced the arrest of several violent criminals, including convicted murderers and pedophiles, as part of its latest "worst of the worst" roundup.
The "worst of the worst" series is part of an effort by DHS to highlight the criminal nature of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) priority targets amid President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts.
“Yesterday, ICE arrested criminal illegal alien murderers, pedophiles and sex criminals – the very definition of depraved,” acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said. “Under President Trump, if you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you and arrest you.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has reacted to shocking revelations by Breitbart News social media director Wynton Hall, the author of the new book Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI, who revealed that Google’s Gemini AI accused her of so-called “hate speech.” In his newly-released book, CODE RED, Hall dives into how some AI programs that are marketed as politically neutral are actually biased against conservatives.
In a test using Google Gemini Pro’s “deep research” setting, Hall asked the following: “Based on your hate speech policies, assess the statements of the current 100 U.S. Senators —

Americans could soon pay nearly a dollar to mail a first-class letter as the U.S. Postal Service seeks higher rates to address deepening financial losses.
Postmaster General David Steiner told a House Oversight Committee hearing that the agency wants to increase the price of a first-class stamp from the current 78 cents to between 90 cents and 95 cents.
The Postal Service posted a $9 billion loss in 2025 and faces the risk of running out of cash within 12 months if no changes are made.

Robert Mueller, a former FBI director who led the investigation into allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, has died, multiple sources told CBS News on Saturday. He was 81. A cause of death was not shared. Mueller is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann Cabell Standish, their two daughters, and three grandchildren. His death was first reported by MS Now. Mueller served as FBI director from 2001 to 2013. In 2017, the Justice Department appointed him special counsel to investigate potential coordination between Russia and the Trump team during the 2016 presidential election. The nearly
She's trippin'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial Ketamine therapy. (snip) The expenses were marked as "leadership training and consulting." It is unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign did not respond to requests for comment. (snip) "While she describes these expenditures as 'leadership training,' Dr. Boyle has no experience in that area, unlike several Democratic consultants," Kamenar added. "This looks like yet another example of misuse of campaign contributions."
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon has revealed that a massive DOJ review of between 50 and 60 million voter records has uncovered hundreds of thousands of ineligible registrations, including over 300,000 DEAD people still listed as active voters and tens of thousands of non-citizens who have already cast ballots in federal elections.
As The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively, Dhillon’s team has been waging war on dirty voter rolls since President Trump took office.
Back in December 2025, we told you how an initial review of just 47.5 million records found 260,000+ dead voters and thousands of illegals registered to vote.

shuts 100-year old CBS News Radio: ‘It’s disgusting’ 18 replies
CBS News Radio — the century-old home of legendary journalists Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow — is shutting down as network boss Bari Weiss continues to reshape the struggling news network, cutting 6% of its workforce in a Friday bloodbath that claimed 60 to 70 jobs.
Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowksi said Friday that CBS Radio will shut down May 22 with all roles in the unit eliminated — a move that was driven by industry shifts and financial pressure from David Ellison, CEO of CBS parent Paramount Skydance.
The duo told employees that “a shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities,
With the return of President Donald Trump to the White House, panicked liberals fearful of a Fascism that never seems to happen outside of their fervid imaginations are seeking an escape route via obtaining foreign citizenship. Also key to their escape from Orange Man Bad is getting foreign passports as chronicled on Monday in the New Yorker by Lauren Markham, "Seeking a Second Passport." The subtitle only adds to the hilarity of their inflated paranoia: "For some Americans, citizenship in a country their ancestors fled is now an insurance plan." To get an idea of how much of a bubble Markham

~A Thought for the Day from David Blair in our comments section:
It's time to move past your reticence to have initiated the war and get behind Trump. Your fear that it might end badly is noted.
"Get behind Trump"? That might be better directed at Vance, Gabbard, Kennedy and other cabinet members whose discomfort with the strange turn of events is palpable either through their sudden absence from public life or when they're testifying to Congress and trying to walk the fine line between not getting fired now and not getting impeached by the incoming Democrat majority in January.
Blue Flight Continues Apace

The most important contemporary phenomenon for our politics and, perhaps, for the future of our country is the ongoing sorting of our citizens into red and blue states. The dynamic is pretty simple: people are leaving blue states for red states, with the single exception of those whose first priority is lavish welfare benefits, who therefore seek out blue states. This might seem like a terrible deal for the blue states, and of course it is, in the long term.
But meanwhile, things are not all bad for Democratic politicians. They are getting rid of a lot of pesky businessmen and others who tend to vote against them,
Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk offered on Saturday to pay the salaries of TSA employees during the shutdown. "I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country," Musk wrote on X. By law, federal employees receive back pay after a government shutdown comes to an end. However, many TSA employees are reportedly calling out due to not receiving paychecks, resulting in long security lines.
CBS News’ latest round of cuts under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss claimed a handful of anchors and correspondents — with more top talent to come in later weeks.
Sources told The Post that some of the network’s Friday casualties include correspondent Elaine Quijano, who was also weekend morning anchor for New York; Dallas-based correspondent Omar Villafranca; Los Angeles-based correspondent Nidia Cavazos; Las Vegas-based correspondent Andres Gutierrez; national correspondent Dave Malkoff; and Karen Hua, a national reporter in Houston.
They join Washington, DC-based reporter Nick Kurtz and political reporter Hunter Woodall, who announced that they were let go on X. The DC bureau lost above five staff total,
