Democrats and liberal media have been all in trying to disparage Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
If you listened to them, you would think we were being destroyed and were losing, despite the unparalleled success of the military operation.
It’s legitimate to ask questions. You can reasonably have concerns or maybe be against the actions now. What isn’t reasonable is pushing out false stories to undermine our effort and essentially help provide propaganda that could benefit Iran.
Then the public has to wade through that and evaluate what they think, rather than just assessing the facts. Which, of course, is why Democrats/liberal media are doing that.
But a new poll is putting paid to the Democratic narrative that people don’t support the effort.The McLaughlin survey of likely voters found strong support.
When voters were asked whether they approved of President Trump using the U.S. military to eliminate Iran’s nuclear missile program and its support for terrorism — given Iran’s refusal to negotiate an end to its nuclear weapons and missile development — 51% approved, while 41% disapproved.
Vice President J.D. Vance is being named America’s fraudbuster in chief.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that President Donald Trump will sign an executive order putting Vance in charge of an “anti-fraud task force” to “investigate fraud across the country,” according to the U.K.’s Independent.
A report in the New York Post said a White House document describing the order says “there is strong reason to believe similar vulnerabilities exist in California, Illinois, New York, Maine, and Colorado, where insufficient safeguards and weak oversight increase the risk of large-scale fraud.”
Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson will be vice chair of the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. White House aide Stephen Miller will be a senior adviser.
The order calls for a comprehensive national strategy against fraud in which states partner with the federal government to provide housing, food, medical care, and financial assistance.
President Trump and VP JD Vance to officially launch their task force against fraud today: “This really going to establish a whole-of-government effort to fight fraud at both the state and federal level.”
“The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.”
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr warned that US broadcast networks could face consequences, including the loss of their licenses, if they continue airing what he described as “hoaxes and news distortions” related to coverage of the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
Carr made the comments in a post responding to a statement from President Donald Trump lambasting media reporting about alleged damage to US tanker aircraft in Saudi Arabia.
In his post, Carr said broadcasters that “are running hoaxes and news distortions – also known as the fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.”
Voters in three states will face upcoming ballot measures regarding protecting girls’ sports from transgender-identifying athletes and preventing minors from receiving sex changes, according to multiple reports.
Voters in states such as Colorado, Missouri, and Maine will be able to vote on the upcoming ballot initiatives in the midterm elections.
In Colorado, the organization Protect Kids Colorado got enough signatures for three ballot initiatives — Initiative 108, Initiative 109, and Initiative 110 — to qualify for the ballot, according to the Colorado Sun.
Under Initiative 108, child sex trafficking would be “punishable by life in prison without the possibility of parole,” while under Initiative 109, transgender-identifying children would not be allowed to participate in sports that do not “align with their biological sex,” according to the outlet.
Two Indian-flagged tankers together carrying over 92,000 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas have arrived at ports in Gujarat state after safely passing through the Strait of Hormuz. New Delhi has been negotiating with Iran, but the government denies discussing the possible release of Iranian tankers it seized in February as part of the bargain. Meanwhile, global crude prices jumped again amid new Iranian attacks on the UAE.

The Democrat Party is still holding America hostage and refusing to pay Department of Homeland Security workers. Yes, while there is a military action in Iran, and while there have been three terrorist attacks here in the past week. Democrats say they are doing it because “Americans” want reforms to ICE. They’re really talking about party activists like these specimens who prevented ICE from arresting a child rapist for a month.
This happened in Boston. Yes, where the mayor compares ICE to neo nazis. And is apparently forming a supergroup with the commie mayors from NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
ICE agents, out of frustration, reached out to Bill Melugin. They were attempting to detain WALTER ROBERTO VIDES-ORTEZ. Wally is an illegal from El Salvador who came here illegally in 2016 after his home country put out an arrest warrant. For child rape. Wally, the accused child rapist, had been living near an elementary school in Boston.
(Not to be confused with the 19-year-old illegal attending high school in Virginia and groping thirteen-year-olds, who is also being protected by democrat officials)
He told me while he & his team were in their vehicles surveilling the target’s residence in East Boston & waiting for him to come out, the ICE team was quickly surrounded by activists who blew whistles, cursed at them, and said they were traumatizing children at the nearby school down the street. Their cover was blown, the whole neighborhood was alerted, and the child rapist wasn’t arrested.
At the same time, these sources and five Western and Arab diplomats said Washington was pressing Gulf states to join the US-Israeli war. According to three of them, US President Donald Trump wants to show regional backing for the campaign, to bolster its international legitimacy as well as support at home.
“There is a wide feeling across the Gulf that Iran has crossed every red line with every Gulf country,” said Abdulaziz Sager, chairman of the Saudi-based Gulf Research Center and familiar with government thinking.
“At first we defended them and opposed the war,” he said. “But once they began directing strikes at us, they became an enemy. There is no other way to classify them.”
Tehran has already demonstrated its reach, attacking airports, ports, oil facilities and commercial hubs in the six Gulf states with missiles and drones while also attacking Israel and disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — the artery carrying about a fifth of global oil and underpinning Gulf economies.
On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN NewsNight,” CNN Senior Commentator Van Jones said that “Democrats have to stick to their guns” on the DHS shutdown “because, as inconvenient as it is in an airport, it’s a lot more inconvenient to have ICE agents doing all kinds of terrible stuff, and they should be put back in a box.”
Host Abby Phillip asked, “This is starting to affect people. Van, you were saying you were in Austin this weekend. Is it time for Democrats to compromise?”
Jones answered, “No, I think Democrats have to stick to their guns, because, as inconvenient as it is in an airport, it’s a lot more inconvenient to have ICE agents doing all kinds of terrible stuff, and they should be put back in a box. However, I was in Austin, trying to leave South by Southwest. I had a 6 a.m. flight. I got there at 3 a.m. There were people, literally outside, wrapped around. It was complete — unbelievable lines. I had PreCheck and CLEAR. I barely made my flight. And then, they pulled the plane out, because it’s time to go, but the plane’s only half full, and the bags are there…so, we literally had to sit on the tarmac for an hour and then come back to re-balance the plane. Meanwhile, the people who could have made the plane balanced were stuck. It was just — the whole thing was so nutty.”
About 11 million people on the island nation of Cuba have lost power after the country’s electrical grid completely collapsed on Monday.
Cuba relies on oil to run the power grid, and a U.S. embargo has worsened the energy crisis it was already suffering under. The U.S. ended oil deliveries to Cuba from Venezuela and threatened other countries with steep tariffs if they provided oil to the nation.
‘Taking Cuba in some form, yeah, taking Cuba. I mean, whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it.’
The state-owned power operator said efforts were under way to restore power to the island. In the meantime, energy has been rationed and many services have shut down.
“The impact [of the blockade] is tremendous. It is most brutally manifested in these energy issues,” Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said on Friday. “This causes anguish among the population.”
Oil tankers are ‘starting to dribble through ‘Strait of Hormuz,’ U.S. says – National– globalnews.ca
“Already you’re seeing tankers are starting to dribble through the straits, and I think it’s a sign of how little Iran has left,” he said.
“We’re very optimistic that this is going to be over in the short run, and then there will be price repercussions when it is over for a few weeks, as the ships make it to the refineries.”
President Trump is hitting pause on his highly anticipated summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the end of March and is telling Beijing that it can wait a month as his team focuses on the conflict in Iran and their attempts to disrupt shipping in the crucial waterway of the Strait of Hormuz.
China has been keeping its cards close to the vest as it has warily watched U.S. forces take out most of the senior Iranian leadership in the last 17 days with Operation Epic Fury. Trump, meanwhile, has worked since the beginning of his administration to rebalance the rules of trade between the two powerful countries, as he believes the deck has long been stacked in the People’s Republic’s favor:
The summit was meant to focus on trade, as both Trump and Xi seek to extend a delicate tariff truce between the world’s two biggest economies. But China showed little immediate sign that it was bothered by the likely delay, which analysts told NBC News may actually prove beneficial to efforts to further stabilize relations.
Trump said Monday that his China trip planned for later this month could be postponed because of the war, telling reporters in Washington, “I think it’s important that I be here.” But his administration has not confirmed that the trip is delayed or shared more specific dates for when it would be rescheduled.

President Donald Trump is bringing back 2020. Many Republicans wish he wouldn’t.
Conversations with nearly a dozen GOP state and county chairs and strategists reveal a party largely eager to move on from relitigating Trump’s election grievances, which they’re worried may detract from an economic message that actually motivates voters. But the president won’t let it go, subpoenaing 2020 election records and putting pressure on lawmakers to pass legislation to overhaul voter registration laws.
As Republicans stare down a treacherous midterm landscape, there’s a growing view inside the party that focusing on “stolen election” claims and voter fraud will kneecap them in the general election: That messaging might play well with the MAGA base in the primary, but it could alienate moderates tired of rehashing an election from nearly six years ago.
“I’m always one to believe you should look forward, not backward,” said Charlie Gerow, a Pennsylvania-based GOP strategist and Trump convention delegate who hosted a meeting of fake electors in 2020 at his Harrisburg-based public affairs firm. “It would be better if the midterms focused on the recovery of the economy and all the good things the Republican administration and Congress are doing to move the economy forward.”
“The Democrats on the Court always ‘stick together,’ […b]ut Republicans do not do this.” Donald Trump discussed some hard and unpopular truths about Republican factionalism and judicial corruption in a Sunday evening post on Truth Social.
Congressional Democrats are referring outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to the Justice Department for lying under oath during her oversight hearings before the House and Senate earlier this month.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the ranking members of their chambers’ respective judiciary committees, asked Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday to open a perjury investigation into Noem’s “demonstrably false statements” in front of Congress on March 3 and 4.
“A number of her statements appear to violate criminal statutes prohibiting perjury and knowingly making false statements to Congress,” they wrote in a seven-page letter, citing two federal laws to support their request.
“After months of evading our Committees’ requests to testify in routine oversight hearings, Secretary Noem made a series of demonstrably false statements in a brazen attempt to undermine critical congressional oversight of the Department of Homeland Security,” the letter states.
The top Democrats point to Noem’s testimony on whether the Department of Homeland Security complies with court orders as an example of a false statement. They argued DHS has repeatedly defied court orders, but Noem insisted otherwise.
Trump Administration Presses Back on Media Determination to Propagate a Defeatist Narrative
Or at least a quagmire narrative.
Axios: FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened to revoke broadcasters’ licenses over Iran war coverage, a day after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth singled out CNN and rooted for a friendlier owner (Axios).
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) doubled down on its security detail for Director Russell Vought in response to Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., objected to USAID funding being used to protect him, despite an assassination attempt on Vought earlier this year.
A letter from Mark Paoletta, OMB general counsel, to Krishnamoorthi obtained by The Federalist makes clear the threat level to Vought — exacerbated entirely by Democrats — and how Vought’s duties as senior advisor to USAID, as well as its former acting administrator, create a persistent security threat that requires 24/7 security.
“Your letter is the definition of chutzpah,” Paoletta told Krishnamoorthi. “The Left drives a systematic campaign to demonize Trump Administration officials like Director Vought that incites radical leftwing lunatics to violence. Then, the Left criticizes the Administration for taking the measures necessary to protect its officials from the violence that the Left encourages.”
A humanoid robot was detained by Chinese officers after it followed and terrorized an innocent woman on the street.
“You’re making my heart race!” the woman raged in Cantonese, per a report in the Macau Post. “You’ve got plenty to do, so what’s the point of messing around with this? Are you freaking crazy?”
According to the publication, the woman was walking along the street looking at her cellphone when she realized “something” was following closely behind her.
Startled, she turned to find the robot.
In the video, you see the robot raising its arm while the woman yelled at it in Cantonese. The clip then cuts to it being escorted away by officers.
This is not the first time a robot was apprehended by police, and it likely won’t be the last.
Wyoming bears all the hallmarks of a “red state.” Its executive offices and legislature are dominated by Republicans, and Donald Trump won it by more than 40 points in the last three presidential elections.
But like many “red states” in America today, Wyoming’s Republican rule is in many ways a mirage. So-called “Republican” elected officials have often gone out of their way to stifle and kill conservative priorities.
The state’s recently concluded budget session perfectly illustrates this problem.
Despite Republicans possessing supermajorities in the state House (56-6) and Senate (29-2), the House rejected six bills containing provisions long supported by election integrity activists and the Wyoming Freedom Caucus (WYFC), which holds a governing majority in the chamber. According to local media, these measures would have prohibited the use of ballot drop boxes, restricted ballot harvesting, “required random ballot hand count audits, directed counties to use pen and paper ballots, expanded poll watcher access and raised the bar for independent candidates to appear on the general election ballot.”
A federal appeals court has lifted a lower court order blocking a key immigration policy from President Donald Trump’s administration, allowing officials to resume deporting illegal aliens to countries other than their own.
In a 2–1 decision, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the administration’s request to pause a prior ruling that had declared the policy unlawful.
The decision allows the policy to remain in effect while the case moves forward on appeal.
Today, Governor Evers signed legislation expanding Wisconsin’s Safe Haven law, extending the time period in which an infant may be safely surrendered from three days to 30 days. The bill, authored by Senator Rob Hutton and Representative Rick Gundrum, is now 2025 Wisconsin Act 94.
The Safe Haven expansion brings Wisconsin in line with many other states and provides additional time for parents in crisis to safely and legally surrender a newborn at designated Safe Haven locations.
President Donald Trump revealed that Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) was told he could be dead by June due to a severe heart condition before a dramatic intervention by White House doctors helped turn the situation around.
The stunning account came during remarks alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson, who described the Florida congressman’s initial medical outlook as dire. Johnson first referenced the diagnosis while praising Dunn’s commitment to continuing his work in Congress despite the serious health concerns.
“[Dunn] had had a pretty grim diagnosis,” Johnson said. “I mentioned it to the president, and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work.’ And if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire.”
“What was the diagnosis?” the president asked.
“It was… I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis,” Johnson said.
Trump then bluntly stated the gravity of the situation: “He would be dead by June.”
The Pentagon is launching a new task force to root out neo-Marxist ideology plaguing America’s war colleges, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday.
“We want military leaders who are critical thinkers; that have studied the principles upon which our Founding Fathers established this republic; and that are educated and prepared to win wars,” Hegseth said in a video message. “After the wokeness and weakness of Joe Biden’s administration, our warfighters deserve training with integrity; where the focus is on the warrior ethos, on deterrence, and on strength.”
Hegseth said that he has instructed Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata to establish a task force to “evaluate” America’s senior service colleges, where “our senior officers go to continue their education.” These institutions include the Army War College, Naval War College, National Defense University, and others.
Law-abiding citizens should not have to live this way. The public must have recourse when lunatic judges release career criminals back into the community.
In the meantime, at least some Nevada residents know that they can rely on their police to fight judicial tyranny.
According to KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department last week filed a petition with the Nevada Supreme Court rather than comply with an order from Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Eric Goodman, son of former Las Vegas Democratic Mayor Oscar Goodman, to release a dangerous career criminal under the department’s electronic monitoring program.
In January, police arrested 36-year-old Joshua Sanchez-Lopez on a charge of grand larceny of a motor vehicle. The defendant, a convicted felon most recently incarcerated after drug and involuntary manslaughter convictions, has an appalling 35 arrests on his record.
The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced Thursday that it has determined four sham charities are directly bankrolling Hamas’s military wing and enabling its operations.
According to the Treasury Department, Hamas is hiding its revenue-generating activities behind civilian organizations, under the guise of humanitarian work, to support the group’s terrorist activities.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent was quoted in a press release yesterday, saying, “Hamas continues to finance its military wing by exploiting sham charities to support terrorist operations. The Treasury Department will not allow Hamas to misuse the charitable sector for its violent aims, and we will continue to target these networks wherever they operate.”
Four separate charities are accused of channeling cash to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which are suspected of carrying out some of the group’s most heinous terrorist activities.
Trump Admin STRIKES AGAIN!
The U.S. Treasury just sanctioned four sham “charities” funneling cash to Hamas terrorists and Qassam Brigades killers, posing as aid groups while funding rockets, tunnels, and murder.

President Donald Trump has warned that the United States has the capability to wipe out the Iranian regime’s most critical oil export hub within minutes, and the U.S. military is “locked and loaded” and ready to do so with a moment’s notice.
However, Trump says he has deliberately chosen not to pull the trigger – yet.
Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said U.S. forces are fully prepared to destroy Kharg Island, the regime’s primary oil export terminal and a vital economic lifeline for Tehran.
“We can do that on five minutes’ notice,” Trump said.
“We have it all locked and loaded and ready to go if we want to do it.”
Trump Issues Warning to NATO Allies: Help Secure Strait of Hormuz or Face Consequences– slaynews.com
President Donald Trump delivered a stark warning to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), urging allied nations to help secure the Strait of Hormuz and cautioning that failure to do so could have serious implications for the alliance.
Speaking in an interview with The Financial Times, Trump said NATO members that rely on the critical shipping route should share responsibility for protecting it.
“It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there,” Trump said.
“If there’s no response, or if it’s a negative response, I think it will be very bad for the future of NATO.”
If you thought the fraud in Minnesota was bad, you have not checked in on what is going on in the Golden State.
According to Fox News, “healthcare fraud in Los Angeles is big business, with taxpayer losses estimated at $3.5 billion.”
One doctor, who does not even live in the state, reveals that his identity was used to file 76,000 claims “on behalf of thousands of patients. Records also link him to 18 hospice providers, which he denies.”
“Between 2021 and 2024, home health agencies linked to this physician, who lives outside of California and is in their 80s, billed nearly $600 million to Medicare, including nearly $210 million in 2024 alone, a 124 percent increase from 2021, with 95 percent of those payments concentrated in Los Angeles County. Beneficiary patient count rose from 9,693 in 2021 to 29,527 for home health agencies associated with this physician.”
