supreme leader
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/23/2026 11:13:37 AM
President Trump said on Monday that he has not been in contact with Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei during ongoing negotiations with the country. “We’re dealing with a man, who I believe is the most respected and the leader,” Trump told reporters in Palm Beach, Fla. “We have not heard from the son,” he said, referring to Khamenei. “Every once in a while you’ll see a statement made [from Khamenei] but we don’t know if he’s living,” Trump said. “But the people that seem to be running it

ICE Agents Are Now Replacing TSA Workers

Whom Democrats Defunded. Enjoy the Schadenfreude. 6 replies
Donald Trump just dipsey-doodled the Democrats.
Only Trump can find leverage in the Democrats' TSA defunding — turning those broke, unpaid TSA agents and the disastrously long lines at the nation's airports into a teachable, brilliant, GOTCHA moment to behold. When Democrats figure out what hit them, they'll be so tattooed with this disaster, even the leftist screechers will lead the effort to restore TSA funding.
Things will change soon because local media in the woke cities are covering the increasing freak out by leftists because Donald Trump is replacing missing, unpaid, TSA agents with paid, and perhaps even masked, ICE agents
President Trump announced Monday he is calling off strikes on Iranian power plants for five days, claiming the mullahs in Tehran are now seeking a resolution after feeling the full pressure of his threat.
The President, over the weekend, had given Iran an ultimatum—open the Strait of Hormuz, or he would order the complete obliteration of their power plants within 48 hours. With the deadline ticking down, Trump has given the battered Iranian regime a bit of an extension.
"I am pleased to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding

The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged almost 1,000 points in early trading on Monday after President Trump postponed an ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying that the U.S. is engaged in "good and productive" negotiations with Tehran.
The blue-chip index jumped 996 points, or 2.2%, to 46,573. Other indices also climbed, with the S&P 500 climbing 113 points, or 1.7% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index gaining 2%.Before Mr. Trump announced the delay on social media, futures had pointed to an almost 1% decline in stocks.

President Trump on Monday said U.S. strikes on Iran energy infrastructure would halt for five days after “very good” and “productive” conversations with leaders in Tehran.
In a Monday morning Truth Social post, Trump wrote in all-caps that the U.S. and Iran “over the last two days” have had “conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East. “Based on the tenor and tone of these in depth, detailed and constructive conversations,” which he said would carry on “throughout the week,” the president has “instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte appeared on "Face the Nation" to talk about the Strait of Hormuz and the threats from Iran.
Rutte explained that the good news was that 22 countries were coming together to make sure that the Strait of Hormuz was free. He explained they'd always gotten things achieved before, as when President Donald Trump had gotten things like the NATO allies to pay their 5 percent share, which helped to provide for greater defense. He said he was "absolutely convinced" they could do the job when it came to Iran. Most of the 22 are NATO countries. Others involved also included Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand,
Saturday night saw Israel experience its largest casualty event since the start of the war with Iran three weeks ago, when two ballistic missiles struck residential neighborhoods in the southern cities of Arad and Dimona, injuring nearly 200 people — most of whom were not in bomb shelters at the time of impact.
Although Iran claimed to have targeted the nearby Dimona nuclear facility, it was local civilians who bore the brunt of the attack.
In Arad, 88 people were treated by Magen David Adom first responders, 10 of them seriously, including a 5-year-old girl. Beersheba’s Soroka Medical Center said it treated a total of 115 people
President Donald Trump threatened to place U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at airports if Democrats don’t agree to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
In a post on Truth Social, Trump explained that if Democrat lawmakers “don’t immediately sign an agreement” to fund DHS, he would place ICE agents at airports to “do Security like no one has ever seen before,” including allowing them to arrest all illegal aliens in the United States.
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
Alternate headline: Iran Lied. Again.
That may not qualify as breaking news, since the Iranian regime has lied about practically all of its threats to the region and beyond. The theocratic-military junta has lied for 47 years about its sponsorship of terrorism, and they lied over and over again about their pursuit of nuclear weapons. Those lies got exposed over and over again, and yet leaders in Europe and the US kept insisting that the regime could become a trustworthy partner in non-proliferation talks.
Iran just exposed another lie, one that should rattle Europe. The IRGC launched a missile attack
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,
For the past three weeks, the Protection Racket Media has had a field day speculating that the war with Iran would split the MAGA base and infuriate those who demand America First policies. Poll after poll has contradicted that speculation. It turns out that the better question might be whether the war is splitting Donald Trump's opposition.
Politico published a new poll this morning, taken this week, even while Iran forced a strangulation of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The poll shows sharp support for the war among Republicans, and even more robust support among self-identified MAGA voters, as previous surveys from NBC News and CNN

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at airports could “brutalize” or “kill” Americans.
Host Dana Bash said, “We just heard from the white House about President Trump’s plan to deploy ICE agents to airports tomorrow.”
[snip]
The last thing that the American people need are for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or in some instances, kill them. We’ve already seen how Ice conducts itself. These are untrained individuals when it comes to doing the current job that they have.
This is one heck of an explosive viral story.
It starts with claims about low-IQ Africans and just takes off from there.
It all started when an Africa-based research team decided to challenge and prove wrong a very long-standing claim in Western circles about low IQ levels in African countries. Instead of continuing to argue about it, they decided to put these claims to the test. They conducted a large-scale IQ assessment in Lagos, Nigeria, with a mixed bag of participants over the age of 16.The results were not what they wanted and are what’s going viral.
As it turns out, those “Western circles” were right all along.
Tucker’s Obsession

When I was about 12 or 13, I had a friend who was fun to be with. When we were in my house or hers, we’d talk endlessly about our schoolmates, our teachers, her mother’s illness, and boys, boys, boys. But whenever we went outside, she would start counting.
“What are you doing?” I would ask.
“Counting my steps,” she responded.
“Why?”
She stopped walking to answer me, so she wouldn’t lose count.
“I just have to count them,” she said. “I can’t stop counting them.”
At that age, I had never even heard the word obsession,
More than 20 nations spanning from Asia to Europe to the Gulf have expressed a “readiness to contribute” to the effort of opening up the Strait of Hormuz amid threats to ships by the Islamist regime in Iran.In a joint statement released on Saturday morning, the nations of Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom condemned in the “strongest terms” the recent attacks by Iran against unarmed, civilian shipping vessels,

Former President Barack Obama sparked a social-media firestorm with his post praising former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s “commitment to the rule of law” after his death Saturday.
Mueller, who died at 81 on Friday night, was the special counsel tasked with investigating allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to benefit President Trump – a claim the current administration asserts was part of a “treasonous conspiracy” orchestrated by the Obama administration to “subvert” Trump.
“Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives,”

A new statue of Christopher Columbus went up on the White House grounds Sunday that was built using pieces from a monument to the Italian explorer that protesters destroyed six years ago.
The 13-foot, one-ton replica of a Columbus statue toppled in Baltimore in 2020 – then dumped into the city’s inner harbor – was commissioned by the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations and is part of the White House’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. The statue has been placed outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Artists retrieved shards of marble belonging to the wrecked statue from the harbor that were used in the recreation
David Spade is calling out California’s leadership for the collapse of Hollywood. During a recent episode of his podcast, “Fly on the Wall,” which he co-hosts with Dana Carvey, the 61-year-old actor and comedian said “the Hollywood industry is dying” and that he’s “just trying to put the blame somewhere.”
Megyn Kelly’s Moronic Iran Maunderings

When President Trump ordered the attack on Iran, it was inevitable that he would receive considerable criticism from the Democrats and their mouthpieces in the corporate media. It was also to be expected that some conservatives would offer thoughtful criticisms of his decision to hit Iran. It was surprising, however, when he was denounced by various podcasters, most of whom have been stunningly naïve about Iran’s threat and why Trump had to take action. By far the most clueless of them has been Megyn Kelly.
On February 16, 2026, I filed two well-documented federal complaints against Congressman Eric Swalwell, one with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS/ICE), and another with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Together, these filings raise serious questions about whether Swalwell engaged in illegal patterns of conduct that reflect his disregard for federal law and a potential abuse of campaign funds for personal benefit.
At issue are two distinct but closely related allegations: first, that Swalwell continued employing a foreign national nanny illegally for two years after her legal work authorization expired; and second, that he illegally used campaign funds to cover what appear to be ongoing personal childcare expenses

Facts are a harsh mistress. And nobody seems more incapable of grasping facts than Democrats in general, and New York's Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul in particular. In her latest embarrassing slip-up, the climate law she supported, and the Empire States ever-more-onerous taxes are driving all the wealthy people, the people who start and run businesses and provide jobs, out of the state. Now, because of the green policies, utility rates are climbing, meaning that a big chunk of the rest of the residents of New York are looking to the exits as well.
Now Governor Hochul wants to delay full implementation of the lunatic climate laws,
President Nayib Bukele has transformed El Salvador from one of the most dangerous places in the world—a tropical hellhole with a murder rate fit for a Middle Eastern warzone—to one of the safest countries in the Americas. He did it by applying one basic principle: lock up the most violent people in society, then throw away the key.
Bukele was aided by the fact that most crime in his country was committed by members of ultra-violent gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18, who conveniently advertise their allegiance and their crimes with lurid tattoos all over their bodies.
