Trump delivers clear warning to Iran as
US begins ‘intense preparations’ for
potential resumption of attacks
Posted By: Mercedes44, 5/16/2026 9:28:45 PM
President Trump gave Tehran another reason to worry Saturday, posting a video clip on his Truth Social showing him ordering a military attack on an Iranian aircraft. “Okay, we have it in our sight. Fire – boom!” Trump says, as a US-flagged destroyer blows one with the Iranian flag out of the sky. In his latest comments on the war, Trump has dismissed Iran’s latest peace offer as “unacceptable,” while speaking freely about the devastation the US military has already inflicted on Iran — and the targets it spared but could reconsider.“We hit them unbelievably hard. Look — we left their bridges.

A total of five people including two teenaged gunmen are dead after an active shooter situation at a San Diego mosque drew a massive police presence, police sources told The Post Monday.
One of the victims was a mosque security guard who “played a pivotal role in assisting, this could have been worse,” said a San Diego police officer at the press conference.
The suspects, believed to be aged 17 and 19, died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, police said during a press conference. They fled in a white BMW and were found dead inside the vehicle.
Two other adults were killed at the mosque by the gunmen, police said.

few weeks into President Donald Trump's second term, his crackdown on illegal immigration netted an unexpected yield: a former Cuban fighter pilot who had been allowed into the United States under President Joe Biden and was trying to get permanent residency.
The 2025 arrest of Luis Raul Gonzalez-Pardo Rodriguez, officials told Just the News, set in motion an extraordinary set of events inside the U.S. intelligence community, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami that could yield the unveiling of an indictment as early as Wednesday of former Cuban President —

Some school districts appear to go to great lengths to hide curricula, psychological interventions and which adults have access to students, even invoking copyright law and forcing parents to navigate state and federal courts to bring an open-records lawsuit.
They don't seem as reticent to hide their outsourcing of curricular decisions to a progressive group that went from fighting the Ku Klux Klan to allegedly funding the Klan's progeny to create the appearance of a thriving white supremacy movement and thereby goose its fundraising and swing Southern elections.
Lai Ching-te said Sunday that arms purchases from the United States remain “the most important deterrent” against regional conflict and instability, following remarks by Donald Trump questioning continued American support for Taiwan after his recent visit to China.
Lai stressed that U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and broader security cooperation are not only grounded in law but also serve as a “catalyst for regional peace and stability," the Associated Press reported.
“We thank President Trump for his continued support for peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait since his first term, including the continuous increase in the scale and amount of arms sales to Taiwan,” Lai said.
Socialist Nithya Raman has been racking up Hollywood support in her bid to unseat Karen Bass as Mayor of Los Angeles, scoring A-list contributors like Tina Fey and Colin Jost. A recent profile from Variety noted that Raman’s Hollywood connections run deep due to her husband, TV writer-producer Vali Chandrasekaran (30 Rock, Modern Family), with contributors that include Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling, Mike Schur, Colin Jost, Nicholas Stoller, Cord Jefferson, David Mandel, and many others. This past April, actor Adam Scott (Severance) introduced her at a backyard fundraiser in Santa Monica.
During this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche discussed the Department of Justice’s ongoing efforts to uncover evidence that the 2020 election was “rigged.” The acting AG vowed to make public his agency’s findings.
“So, [White House chief of staff Susie Wiles] just said that we’re going to find out that President Trump actually did win certain states in the 2020 election,” host Maria Bartiromo said. “Now, the president says all the time that the election was rigged. What have you done about that? Do you have any evidence that the election was rigged? What can you tell us?”

air after redistricting destroys his reelection bid 10 replies
Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen broke down in tears while reflecting on his decision to drop his reelection bid after redistricting all but ensured he had no path to victory.
Cohen (D-Tenn.), the sole Democrat in Tennessee’s congressional delegation, lamented the Republicans’ revamping of the Volunteer State’s 9th district, which is majority minority, and railed against redistricting as “bad for democracy.”
“I’m upset by this,” the now-outgoing Democrat bemoaned to NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Friday. “And I don’t get the criticism of stand and fight.” Why would you fight when they changed the district and there aren’t enough votes for you to win? That’s silly.”
Cohen, who has repped the Memphis-centered district since 2007,
Revealingly, while Belgium's Press Ethics Council did not trust readers with Vance's speech on the factual lack of freedom of speech in Europe, the Belgian courts had no issues with a magazine column that incited violence against Belgian Jews.
On one hand, the public cannot be trusted with information that has not been chewed up and curated for them beforehand, including an unfiltered speech by Vance. On the other hand, screeds inciting violence against Jews are perfectly acceptable, and all at once, out of the blue -- poof! -- suddenly the Belgian judicial system cares about "freedom of speech" if it is spoken by people whose votes are regarded as "necessary."

The regime in Tehran trembles not because of American bombers or sanctions alone, but because its greatest nightmare has always been the Iranian people themselves. While the chattering class in Washington and on cable news wrings its hands over “escalation” and “doom,” they miss the most powerful weapon President Trump has quietly at his disposal: Trump’s Silent Liberation Army—the millions of freedom-loving Iranians ready to reclaim their nation.
Recent uprisings in Iran, building on the spirit of the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests and exploding into nationwide fury by late 2025 and early 2026, have shown the world the depth of popular discontent.
Communist Cuba has reportedly expanded its military drone capabilities and is seeking additional equipment from Russia and Iran as the communist regime prepares for the possibility of direct confrontation with the United States.
According to classified intelligence cited by Axios, Cuban officials have acquired more than 300 military drones of varying capability since 2023 and have held discussions about how such systems could be used in the event of hostilities with Washington.
As the Castro dictatorship in Cuba teeters on the brink of total collapse amid massive blackouts, fuel shortages, and street protests, one thing is crystal clear: the global communist experiment is finally gasping its last breath. Even as the North Korean hermit kingdom clings to its grotesque survival, and Communist China masquerades as a “people’s republic” while running a high-tech surveillance tyranny that murders dissidents and harvests organs, the writing is on the wall.
On Sunday morning, Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on Fox News Sunday Morning Futures opposite host Maria Bartiromo. The Acting AG was there to discuss ongoing investigations into the Russia collusion hoax around the 2016 presidential election, as well as election rigging in the 2020 presidential election. He had some very pointed comments, as well as some reasons as to why these investigations are taking as long as they are. Maria Bartiromo makes a good point here. While the GOP didn't have the upper hand for some of that time, hampering efforts at the federal level,

Finally, after years of gaslighting, lawfare, and corrupt media cover-ups, a top Trump DOJ official has stepped up and dropped the hammer on the biggest political crime in American history.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures and delivered a NUCLEAR truth bomb that Democrats, the fake news media, and the deep state have been desperately trying to bury for six long years.
When Bartiromo pressed him on President Trump’s repeated claims that the 2020 election was rigged, Blanche didn’t mince words.
Blanche confirmed that the DOJ is now running multiple criminal investigations into the stolen 2020 election.

President Donald Trump is back from China with a very clear message to the Iranian regime. “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!”
Before Trump left for China, it was clear that his patience with the Iranian regime was wearing thin. So if they didn't get it before, they should listen now. It's time to fish or cut bait, and if they do not, they're going to have a very unfortunate 'find out" moment.
The Iranian regime still appears to be misbehaving, as they're believed to be behind a serious drone strike
Global elites have shoved “diversity is our strength” down everyone’s collective throats as if people are interchangeable little widgets with no history, roots, culture, and no right to care about the character of their own neighborhoods and country.(snipWhen people feel unheard, they get mad. When they’re told their concerns make them bigots, they get madder. And when every reasonable objection gets shoved into the “you’re a racist” box, they start fighting back. That’s what happened in Lancaster County, South Carolina, where a proposed mosque became the center of a heated fight. In the end, the county denied the permit, but that only happened because the residents literally revolted.
Kamala Harris’ Dangerous Brainstorm

For a sense of how bereft the Democrats are of credible leaders and sensible policy ideas all one has to do is listen to the remarks of former Vice President Kamala Harris on the Win with Black Women podcast. She proposed a “no bad ideas brainstorm” in which Democrats would discuss “What we need to do, and think about doing, around the Electoral College … expanding the Supreme Court … statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.” Harris, whom most polls of Democrat voters show as the front-runner for their party’s 2028 presidential nomination, said this as if offering fresh ideas.
A transgender high school athlete dominated multiple girls track and field events at a California regional final Saturday, igniting backlash from parents, competitors and activists, prompting officials to award duplicate gold medals to female runners-up.
Jurupa Valley High School senior, AB Hernandez, 17, captured first place in the girls’ long jump, high jump and triple jump events during the California Interscholastic Federation’s Southern Section championship final.
Some of Hernandez’s female rivals appeared to ice her out during the medal ceremonies, with one competitor skipping the podium altogether and others keeping their distance amid the escalating controversy.
Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy missed the runoff in the state’s GOP Senate primary Saturday, ending the reelection hopes of one of the few Senate Republicans who voted to convict President Donald Trump after the January 6 Capitol protest.
Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming are now set to advance after no candidate received the majority needed to avoid a June 27 runoff.
Cassidy’s defeat is not complicated. In 2021, Cassidy joined Democrats and a small group of establishment Republicans in voting to convict Trump during the second impeachment trial.
Cuba's communist leaders are facing some tough times. The Cuban people are getting good and tired of no electricity, no decent food, no garbage pickup, and the prospect of a jail term if they complain about any of that, and yet the people are taking to the streets anyway. This has to be making the remnants of the old Castro regime nervous.
Also making them nervous is President Trump's removal by force of a key Cuban ally, Venezuelan strongman dictator Nicolás Maduro, and the subsequent shutting off of the Venezuelan oil that was helping keep Cuba's energy economy afloat. Could Cuba's El Presidente Miguel Díaz-Canel and his communist cohorts be thinking
Americans may be paying a hidden “lawsuit tax” through higher insurance premiums and higher prices for everyday goods, as trucking companies face rising litigation costs from staged crashes, massive settlements and “nuclear verdicts.”
Industry groups and lawsuit abuse critics told the Daily Caller News Foundation that costs from frivolous lawsuits and rising settlements are being passed down to consumers through elevated insurance premiums, higher transportation costs and inflated prices for everyday goods. They argue those costs are especially hitting the trucking industry, where rising commercial insurance premiums can ripple through freight rates, grocery bills, consumer goods and even personal auto insurance premiums.

At least six Americans were exposed to Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo, sources with international aid organizations told CBS News, although it was unclear if any had been infected.
Three of the Americans faced a high-risk contact or exposure, the sources said, and one was symptomatic. It wasn't immediately clear whether the Americans are still in Congo. The health news organization STAT was first to report on the exposures.
The World Health Organization this week declared the Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda a "public health emergency of international concern." At least 80 suspected deaths have been reported, the WHO said Saturday.
Three suspects, including two teenagers, committed a staggering 12 shootings in the Austin area over the weekend. The Texas governor wants to see them behind bars for a long time, instead of released as “misguided minors” to shoot more people.
The 15-year-old stole his gun on Saturday from the exact same store where the 17-year-old accomplice had already stolen a firearm. There was a warrant out for the latter’s arrest over the theft. ABC7 KATV did not provide names for any of the suspects, but merely said that the third suspect fled the vehicle when officers stopped it to arrest the teenagers. Officers were pursuing the vehicle when
At least eight people were injured Saturday in Modena, Italy when a crazed driver rammed his car into a crowd at full speed — and then knifed a hero who stopped him when he tried to flee following his cowardly act.
The man has been identified by authorities as Salim el Koudri, a 31-year-old Italian citizen of Moroccan origin.
The motive is not yet known, but a terrorist attack is not being ruled out, Italian newspaper La Pressa reported. El Koudri accelerated suddenly then zigzagged erratically on Via Emilia in the northern Italian city around 4:30 pm, mowing down at least four pedestrians.

If Americans won’t have the meekness to get sick enough ahead of the midterm elections to justify lockdowns and all mail-in ballots, it seems globalists might be willing to manufacture another “global health emergency.” Hopefully Donald Trump and We the People are too smart to fall for that destructive nonsense twice.
Naturally, many Americans will ask how an outbreak of Ebola in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) could possibly necessitate the World Health Organization (WHO) assuring the world that it is in imminent danger of Ebola contagion. But if there is one thing we learned from the COVID-19 lockdowns, it is that the WHO
