Posted By: 4250Luis, 3/25/2026 4:08:51 PM
Iran is ramping up its threats as negotiations to end the war appear to be faltering and a U.S. ground operation becomes more likely. Iranian state media outlet Tasnim News Agency, citing a "military source," indicated that Tehran was prepared to close the Bab al Mandeb, a critical waterway linking the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea, in the event of a U.S. ground op. “If the enemy wants to take action on land in the Iranian islands or anywhere else in our lands or to inflict costs on Iran with naval movements in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman,

Airline passengers are experiencing some of the highest security wait times in the 25-year-history of the Transportation Security Administration — with some taking more than four-and-a-half hours to make it through checkpoints, a top official told Congress Wednesday.
TSA acting administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill testified to the House Homeland Security Committee that her beleaguered agency is “being forced to consolidate” and “may have to close smaller airports if we do not have enough officers.”
“It is a fluid, challenging and unpredictable situation. We understand this is frustrating and disruptive,” she added. “This is unacceptable.”
Joe Kent Is a Loon

There are many qualities you look for in a director of the National Counterterrorism Center, but an active imagination isn’t one of them.
Joe Kent, though, has shown since his high-profile resignation that he has one, and not the kind of imagination that makes for a great Elizabethan poet or a compelling noir novelist but the sort of fevered fancy that fuels the Candace Owens podcast.
Kent says, apparently quite sincerely, that President Trump may have launched the war against Iran because he feels threatened from shadowy forces connected to Israel.
In other words, what the combined military might of Israel and the ...

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,
Game, Set, Match: ICE

Despite the fact that funding for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was already set for three years, Senate Democrats insisted on shutting down funding for DHS (Department of Homeland Security), CBP (Customs and Border Protection), and TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) in an effort to geld ICE. This partial shutdown lasted over 30 days, with delays at airports reaching as long as three hours. TSA workers, unpaid for weeks, were quitting. The Democrats wanted to force the Administration to change the policies and practices of ICE.
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.
The nerve of a judge to deport an illegal immigrant who held the lofty status of a staff member for the New York City Council has left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in high dudgeon.
Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a data analyst for the council, will be deported to Venezuela. The Department of Homeland Security said Rubio overstayed his 2017 tourist visa, has an arrest for assault, and does not possess work authorization, CBS News noted.
Mamdani argued his version of reality should take precedence over the law. “Today, an administrative immigration judge ordered the deportation of Rafael Rubio, a City Council employee. This is an affront to justice,”
Russian tanker with 730,000 barrels of oil is on its way to Cuba, the communist-run island crippled by a U.S. economic blockade.
The Anatoly Kolodkin tanker is expected to reach Cuba’s Matanza oil terminal on Monday, according to news reports.
The Russian vessel had been among those sanctioned by the U.S. in retaliation for that country’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. But President Donald Trump lifted sanctions on Russian oil exports a week ago to help steady world oil markets that turned volatile after the Israel- and U.S.-led attacks on Iran,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that “Israel acted alone” and that President Donald Trump had asked Israel “to hold off on future attacks” after Israel attacked Iran’s South Pars Gas Field. During a press conference on Thursday, Netanyahu poked fun at online rumors that he was dead, stating that he was “alive.” Netanyahu also gave an update on Operation Roaring Lion, explaining that both Israel and the United States were “acting together in Iran with great determination.”
California has already sued the Trump administration at least 54 times a little more than a year into his second term. State Attorney General Rob Bonta claims the lawsuits are an effort to hold President Donald Trump accountable. But litigation goes both ways. The administration is now suing California over its zero-emission (in effect, electric) vehicle mandate.
The Justice Department says that California’s ZEV mandates and its stringent standards for CO2 emissions violate federal law, which expressly prohibits states from setting their own fuel economy standards for cars, adding that the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) mandates -
El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells has a rather stunning allegation to make against the state of California. Oh wait, maybe it’s not that stunning, considering Gavin Newsom’s Golden State is often at the heart of some of the most bat guano policies you’ll ever come across.
Wells says that officials actually hamper child welfare checks because they wouldn’t want to inadvertently come across an illegal alien and have to do something about it.
He wrote an op-ed for Fox News Thursday where he detailed the insanity:Wells had more to say in his op-ed, and it will make your blood boil. This is the definition of one-party progressive rule run amok:

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said that a legal theory supported by the Republican National Committee in a case related to mail-in ballots “imperils a lot of different things.”[snip] “I mean, I think this is your original point that there were lots of different practices and so to the extent we're saying, ‘oh, you could only look at Election Day in the federal statute to mean exactly what the states were doing back at that time.’ This imperils a lot of different things, not just post-Election Day ballot deadlines.”
President Trump said Iran has agreed to his biggest demand in order to stop the war: no nuclear weapons.
“They’ve agreed,” he said. “They will never have a nuclear weapon. They’ve agreed to that.”
Tehran has not stated that publicly — and denied even talking to the US. But Trump has made clear that the no-nukes demand is necessary for the US to stop its military campaign. The president’s comments came as the US and Iran are preparing for another round of negotiations in an attempt to bring a ceasefire to the war — while also gearing for a major combat operation if talks fall apart. “We’re actually talking to the right
Developers and local officials canceled a proposal for a new Muslim-based city in rural Texas, according to Republican Rep. Lance Gooden, after a Daily Caller investigation reported on the plans and subsequent meetings.
Kaufman County, Texas, residents became aware in early February that a potential city was going to be built in their backyard and accused local officials of being very secretive about the deal. The Daily Caller report, and locals’ allegations that the project was an unlawful attempt to establish a “sharia city,” led Attorney General Ken Paxton to announce Feb. 9 that his office launched a formal investigation.
The proposed massive “sustainable city” development was set
Delta Air Lines is punishing Congress for failing to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
The airline company has temporarily yanked its special congressional desk service to lawmakers and staffers on Capitol Hill until Congress finally funds the DHS, which has been in a partial shutdown since Feb. 28.
“Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,” the company said in a statement first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“Next to safety, Delta’s No. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.”
President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported goods suffered a Supreme Court legal rebuke in late February, but they’re not doing much better in the court of public opinion. As the latest I&I/TIPP shows, a plurality of voters don’t believe the economy will get a boost from tariffs, which win strong majority support only from Republicans.
It was once the case that most conservatives and many moderates rejected tariffs on imported goods as an unwanted distortion of free trade. Meanwhile, liberals embraced tariffs as a welcome tool of government “industrial policy.”
But President Trump has flipped the script.

Trump to keep fighting Iran, put boots

Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been urging US President Donald Trump to continue the war against Iran, The New York Times reports, citing people briefed by American officials.
Bin Salman has spoken to Trump several times over the past week, pushing the president to keep fighting until the regime in Iran is toppled, according to the report. The Saudi prince sees Iran as a long-term threat that will persist as long as the Islamic Republic exists. He also believes that Iran could continue to target Saudi Arabia and threaten shipping after the war, the newspaper says.
According to the Times, bin Salman fears
Viral video of a woman being nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at San Francisco International Airport sparked mass online fear-mongering about Trump’s deployment of immigration agents to help ease the TSA security crisis.
Video captured the moment ICE agents began handcuffing a crying woman on Sunday at around 10 p.m. inside the airport’s Terminal 3.
The officers were met with backlash from multiple passengers who filmed the scene and yelled at them, as the woman continued to cry with a young girl standing beside her, also sobbing.
“This is un-American,” one passenger is heard yelling.
“What is your badge number? What is your name?”
On Sunday, I wrote about how Code Pink and a bunch of other worthless commies went to Cuba after they put together the "Nuestra América Convoy," which describes itself as a humanitarian group but is really just some sort of anti-Trump, pro-Cuban regime operation. Cuba's "president," Miguel Díaz-Canel, rolled out the red carpet at a convention center, and then the group stayed in a five-star well-lit hotel. I say "well-lit' because no one else on the island has power, yet oddly this hotel and convention center do. The convoy also threw themselves a little concert — again, with plenty of electricity to go around — but this
Democrats who want to defund ICE aren’t getting away with the political hostage-taking they’re using to do it.
They’re trying to hold the Transportation Security Administration’s funding hostage until their demands for weakening Immigration and Customs Enforcement are met.
That means they’re also subjecting millions of air travelers to added anxiety, and worse, as security-line wait times stretch into hours.
A Maryland man who is a quadruple amputee cornhole champion is facing murder charges for allegedly shooting and killing someone in his vehicle, authorities said.
Dayton James Webber, 27, is accused of fatally shooting the front seat passenger of his vehicle during an argument in La Plata, Maryland, on Sunday and then fleeing to Virginia, according to the Charles County Sheriff's Office.
The victim -- identified as 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells -- was found dead in a yard in Charlotte Hall, Maryland, according to the sheriff's office. Two people who were in the back seat of the vehicle witnessed the deadly shooting, the sheriff's office said. Webber allegedly asked them

Monica Cannon-Grant, a Black Lives Matter activist who was named “Bostonian of the Year” by the Boston Globe, was ordered to pay back every dime she stole from her nonprofit, unemployment benefits, and other fraudulent practices, amounting to almost $225,000.
U.S. District Court Judge Angel Kelley sentenced Cannon-Grant to four years’ probation, six months of home detention, and 100 hours of community service. Federal prosecutors, however, recommended 18 months in prison. Although Cannon-Grant dodged time behind bars, she must return all of the money she managed to bilk from her nonprofit.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — A poll from the Saint Anselm College Survey Center shows that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is gaining support among New Hampshire voters in the 2028 race for the White House. The last time Rubio saw this kind of movement in New Hampshire, he was on the campaign trail. (Snip) On the Democratic side, former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is carving out his own space at the top. Last year, Saint Anselm had him tied with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, but now, Buttigieg is ahead, 29% to 15%. The poll of Democratic voters has a margin of
