Democrats are looking ahead to the next battle after losing a fight in Congress this week to rein in President Donald Trump’s war against Iran: Making sure he doesn’t have the money to wage it.

Democrats are vowing to wield their Senate filibuster power against more spending to fund the president’s war efforts after both chambers this week failed to curb Trump’s military campaign through war powers resolutions, and the administration weighs an emergency funding request.

“Good luck,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), a leadership member, told the Washington Examiner. “What Democrat is going to vote to fund an illegal war that is turning into a bigger ham-handed disaster every minute?”

Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) was accused of breaking the hand of Marine veteran and anti-war activist Brian McGinnis.

During a break in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday, McGinnis put his hand through a hole in the wall to prevent Capitol Police from removing him from the room.

A video recorded by another anti-war activist showed Sheehy getting in on the melee by grabbing McGinnis and attempting to force him through the doorway.

“His hand! His hand! Oh!” one onlooker shouted.

Global oil and gas prices have skyrocketed following the US attack on Iran last weekend. But another key global supply chain is also at risk, one that may directly impact American farmers who have already been squeezed for months by tariff wars. The conflict in the Middle East is choking global supplies of fertilizer right before the crucial spring planting season.

“This literally could not be happening at a worse time,” says Josh Linville, the vice president of fertilizer at financial services company StoneX.

The global fertilizer market focuses on three main macronutrients: phosphates, nitrogen, and potash. All of them are produced in different ways, with different countries leading in exports. Farmers consider a variety of factors, including crop type and soil conditions, when deciding which of these types of fertilizer to apply to their fields.

The three hero cops who prevented the Muslim terrorist in the Austin shooting from killing more people than he did are now facing a Grand Jury investigation. The Travis County DA is known for using a Grand Jury process he created that requires every officer-involved shooting to go before a Grand Jury even when the shooting is deemed justified, as it was in this case.

The policy itself was allegedly pushed by a special interest group called the Wren Collective, which has ties to far left, and pro-Islamist organizations. The key part of the Grand Jury is that the jury only gets to see the prosecutor’s unchallenged evidence. The prosecutor is also not required to present exculpatory evidence.

3 Hero Austin Cops Who Stopped MASS MURDERING MUSLIM MIGRANT Deadly Bar Shooting FACE GRAND JURY
– Geller Report

The 3 brave Austin police officers who killed an Islamic terrorist are being hauled before a Grand Jury to avoid murder charges after a peo-jihad progressive organization demanded it.

The Muslim terrorist opened fire on a crowded bar in Austen, Texas, Texans partying on a Saturday night, three dead, several wounded. This is an attack on our very way of life.

For all those fleeing blue states, Austen is not the place to go.The liberals ruined it aleady.

On Feb. 13, student walkouts in Los Angeles became a bit of a horror show as several federal agents were injured in clashes with a mob mixed with students and community members. The mass of protestors had made their way to the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center and started “throwing objects at law enforcement.”

As appalling as it is, this act of mob violence should not be totally surprising. The combination of hundreds of unsupervised youths marching through city streets with a clear villain as a target is a recipe for disaster. While the vast majority of K-12 walkouts over the last couple of weeks have remained peaceful, there are warning signs that they may not stay that way.

A break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the 1970s set off a chain of events that ended a presidency. Operatives tied to President Richard Nixon installed wiretaps inside the Watergate complex. When it was exposed, the fallout reshaped American politics.

Now a bombshell report from Reuters reveals Biden’s FBI carried out a Wategate-style operation against Donald Trump and his 2024 presidential campaign.

According to Reuters, the FBI under then-President Joe Biden secretly obtained Susie Wiles’ phone records while she was a private citizen working on behalf of Trump’s 2024 campaign. Two anonymous FBI officials also said that Biden’s FBI “recorded a phone call between Wiles and her attorney” in 2023.

Initially, I thought this was a different publication. How did The Washington Post publish this, especially from the editorial board? It was a solid op-ed emphasizing the importance of keeping the agency fully operational during a period of increased terrorist reprisals, due to our air campaign against Iran. It also pointed out that the Democrats’ strategy—trying to limit ICE raids via more legal procedures like judicial warrants—is essentially ineffective. They acknowledged it’s not practical. Additionally, the recent shutdown doesn’t affect the deportation raids, as they’ve been funded by the Big, Beautiful Bill (via WaPo):

 

…it’s embarrassing that it is taking this long to reach a deal that boosts training and accountability without impeding ICE agents from pursuing legitimate public safety threats.

Banning agents from wearing masks and requiring a form of identification is normal across American law enforcement. Requiring judicial warrants isn’t practical for every single deportation, but there are reasonable compromises short of that. Mandating the use of body cameras and requiring better training wouldn’t just help restore public trust. It would boost the credibility of agents.

Not everyone will get what they want. Congressional Republicans can’t simply ban sanctuary cities. And Democrats won’t get Republicans to ban every ICE operation in residential areas. They might look to savvy politicians like Collins, who was able to announce the end of an enhanced ICE operation in her state after appealing directly to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. In an interview, Collins said that “sitting down with DHS and discussing strategies to focus on detention and deportation of criminals” is a good way to prevent ICE surges.

On Wednesday, ABC and CBS were nauseatingly in awe on their flagship newscasts of far-left Texas State Representative James Talarico — who believes, among other things, God was non-binary and that Mary would support abortion — as possessing “cross-partisan appeal” in a campaign “emphasizing unity” to pull in “moderates” to deliver Texas the first statewide Democrat win since 1994.

CBS sent senior White House and campaign correspondent Ed O’Keefe to Austin, Texas, who reported back on CBS Mornings that Talarico had “put off his seminary studies in order to launch this campaign, believing he can combine support from Democrats, independents in this state and Republicans upset with the President.”

In a second live-shot that aired in some time zones (due to a CBS News Special Report on a Pentagon briefing), O’Keefe boasted of Talarico’s “cross-partisan appeal” with a “Christian progressive approach, that you can be rooted in your faith” and “make a faith-based argument as to why the country needs to change.”

It is one thing to watch the Elitist Media be as unpredictably biased as they go about their business. It is entirely another to watch them inject their biases into stories from the weirdest angles, as ABC’s James Longman just did.

MS NOW All In host Chris Hayes made a morally obscene analogy on his Monday show as he lamented that the United States allegedly does not appreciate the fact that the people who die in war are real human beings. To prove his point, Hayes tried to claim that the terror Americans felt after 9/11 is “commonplace” in other parts of the world because of “the kinds of war of aggression that Donald Trump just started.”

Hayes started with what may have seemed to be a friendly reminder that this war is taking place in the real world with real people being caught in the middle, “But outside these borders, war is having a bomb dropped on your daughter’s elementary school, seeing some alert or getting a panicked call, or on your apartment building, or the hospital where you are receiving care. Death from above. And when you only view war through our perspective, the understanding that bombs are never coming for us, it becomes nothing more than an abstraction. Gets far too easy to wave away the loss of human life. It’s priced in. It’s the cost of doing business.”

When it comes to online leftist personalities, a handful are simply more notorious than others, for a variety of reasons.

From Steven “Destiny” Bonnell to Kyla “NotSoErudite” Turner, there is no shortage of leftist personalities vying for internet notoriety in the modern online era.

Yet even within those circles, one leftist streamer has risen well above the rest in terms of notoriety — or what some may call “infamy.”

Hasan Piker, the far-left streamer who regularly produces content for large streaming platforms like Twitch, is no stranger to controversy.

The Mayor of Arcadia, CA is a naturalized U.S. citizen from China, whose fiancé was recently convicted of being a CCP spy. The fiancé, a green card holder named Yaoning “Mike” Sun, was the fiancé of Mayor Eileen Wang, a Democrat and still probably member of the CCP. She emigrated from China more than 30 years ago.

So far, Wang has refused to resign. This type of CCP activity is only a small part of the rising evidence of widespread CCP influence across both political parties, but significantly more substantively among Democrats, their natural “allies.”

California Mayor Refuses To Resign After Ex-Fiance Went To Prison For Being A CCP Spy – thefederalist.com

A Democratic mayor in a Southern California city is facing pressure to resign after her former fiancé was sentenced to four years in federal prison for acting as an illegal agent of communist China.

Yaoning “Mike” Sun, a Chinese national and U.S. green card holder from Chino Hills, California, received a jail sentence in early February after pleading guilty last year to one count of acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. From at least 2022 to early 2024, he knowingly carried out directives from Chinese officials without notifying the U.S. government.

Sun’s activities included surveilling groups that the Chinese Communist Party considers threats, such as Falun Gong (a spiritual practice banned in China) practitioners and advocates for the independence of Taiwan, Tibet, or Xinjiang. Additionally, Sun produced and disseminated pro-CCP propaganda through a purported news website targeting the local Chinese American group in the greater Los Angeles area.

A notable instance occurred during Taiwan’s then-President Tsai Ing-wen’s visit to Southern California in 2023, when Sun monitored her movements in real time, photographed supporters and opponents, and reported the intelligence to officials at the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles…

That “political star” was Eileen Wang, a Democratic politician who immigrated from China more than three decades ago. Sun served as her campaign consultant, treasurer, and adviser during her successful 2022 run for the Arcadia City Council. The two were engaged at the time. The Los Angeles Times revealed that some campaign donations Sun facilitated to Wang came from individuals linked to the Chinese government, with at least one donor registered as a foreign agent.

In December 2022, shortly after her election, Wang publicly called Sun her fiancé and praised his pivotal role in her election victory during a recorded city council meeting.

Ndiaga Diagne killed two people and wounded over a dozen more after he opened fire at a bar in Austin on Sunday. During his murderous rampage, he chose a sweatshirt that said “Property of Allah” and a shirt similar to the Iranian flag. Common sense would tell you this was a blatant act of terrorism. Thus, this should be condemned by all elected officials for the sake of the matter that terrorism is bad. Jasmine Crockett, however, did not want to waste time with that and instead thought it was the perfect moment to blame white people for mass shootings.

First, she claimed that the “facts are the facts,” which she then proceeded to mention zero facts. All she did was repeat the leftist lie that illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes than American citizens. While she didn’t say “illegal immigrants,” the left uses the term interchangeably, which is why we know what she meant. This is disproven by the fact that they arrive here committing a crime by not following federal immigration laws. However, considering she’s so stupid and believes illegal immigration is not a crime, she said what she said.

The Washington Post and New York Times are facing a furious backlash after publishing glowing eulogies for the Iranian regime’s slain dictator, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The Post, opening its obituary of Khamenei with language that softened the image of a brutal regime figure responsible for decades of repression and bloodshed.

Khamenei, who was killed Saturday during “Operation Epic Fury,” a coordinated U.S.–Israeli strike on Tehran, was described by the Post as having a “bushy white beard and an easy smile.”

The White House has joined with the top Republican in the Colorado House of Representatives in condemning bills seeking to prevent any Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent from joining state and local police, and to make ICE agents liable for alleged violations of constitutional rights.

“ICE officers are facing a 1300% increase in assaults because of dangerous, untrue smears by elected Democrats,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Daily Signal in a statement Monday. “Recently, an officer had his finger bitten off by a radical left-wing rioter.”

“ICE officers act heroically to enforce the law and protect American communities—local officials should work with them, not against them,” Jackson added. “Anyone doing otherwise is simply doing the bidding of criminal illegal aliens.”

If you thought The Washington Post’s infamous decision to describe ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” was a once in a lifetime lapse in editorial judgement, you were mistaken. With the death of Iran’s brutal dictatorial supreme leader, both The New York Times and The Post are back to remind you that legacy media still has no shame.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s longtime supreme leader responsible for executions, censorship, repression, and sponsoring terrorist groups worldwide, was killed in an airstrike on Saturday. His death comes weeks after his regime oversaw the execution of tens of thousands of Iranians who took to the streets to protest his very rule.

EXCLUSIVE: Did you know that a historic and symbolic landmark of the nation’s capital was recently vandalized by an individual currently sought after by the FBI? If the story escaped your attention, thank the Big Four News Apps — Apple News, Google News, Microsoft’s MSN and Yahoo News — which largely ignored the attack, only featuring one article on the story over four days.

On Feb. 20, Fox News exclusively reported that the Trump-Kennedy Center had been subjected to an alleged act of vandalism after a suspect poured a “toxic,” dark substance onto an outdoor ice rink earlier that morning. The attack marked a major escalation of violence on a federal property, particularly one that holds national significance.

On Monday’s Morning Joe in the aftermath of the Strikes on Iran and Pentagon Press Conference, co-host Jonathan Lemire was fixated and seemingly rooting for a scenario where President Trump’s approval would go down if there was a prolonged war or deaths of more American Troops. Then, guest Elise Jordan, co-host of The Weekend: Primetime, naively wondered why the military and Secretary Pete Hegseth have not shared all their classified war plans with the public.

The Morning Joe hosts and panelists also had a special focus on how the actions in Iran were supposedly not “America First,” even though the President has talked about Iran not being allowed to have a nuclear weapon since the 2016 election.

President Trump ordered a new offensive in Iran over the weekend, taking out top Iranian tyrants like Ayatollah Khamenei. Bizarrely, our media composed puffy obituaries for the Ayatollah and gave Iran’s foreign minister a softball platform when they all pressure each other to be ever more hostile in questioning our elected president.

MRC President David Bozell and NewsBusters Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro joined the show. Nick pointed out that over the weekend, The Washington Post ran an obituary titled: “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, is dead at 86.” The paper warmly remembered the brutal Islamic dictator as a “avuncular figure” with an “easy smile” and a love for “Persian poetry.” Why must American press outlets swoon over our enemies like that?

Blurb:

Like a good neighbor, The New York Times is there… to aid the Democrats in spreading anxiety about our war effort. The lefty newspaper is trying to whip out — get this — economics to lambast President Donald Trump and Israel’s historic military toppling of arguably the most murderous regime in the Middle East.

Instead of celebrating the long overdue elimination of the sadistic Ayatollah Khamenei and liberation of the Iranian people, Times energy reporter Rebecca Elliott whipped out this overly pedantic headline March 1: “Oil Prices Jump After Iran Attack, Pointing to Economic Risks.”

While you may have heard of crack houses, have you heard of “crack tents?” This is the latest phenomenon in the drug community, and it comes at a cost for these addicts. While you may have also assumed living in squalor on a public street is free, some encampments charge rent, with gangs being the landlords.

This is what the left calls compassion, as they allow these people to continue living out their degeneracy for the world to witness. In reality, though, it’s anything but.

In Los Angeles, gangs have taken over many tent communities where they collect rent and deal drugs.

Legacy media obituaries for Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei made the ruthless tyrant sound like a teddy bear. From The Wall Street Journal, whose reporting has trended more progressive in recent years, to The Washington Post, which wears its progressive editorial orientation as a badge of honor, media outlets have beclowned themselves in their portrayals of a man who dedicated his life to murder and repression.

Borrowing from the Post’s widely ridiculed 2019 description of terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere scholar,” the Journal’s characterization of Khamenei as an “austere cleric” left many readers appalled. But it was the obituaries from the Post and The New York Times that really grated.

From its headline, “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Hard-Line Cleric Who Made Iran a Regional Power, Is Dead at 86,” to the almost lyrical depiction of his “avuncular and magnanimous aloofness,” the Times’ empathy for this brutal dictator was on full display.

Sounding more like a eulogy, the Times’ obituary read: “With his spectacles, Palestinian kaffiyeh, long robes and silver beard, Ayatollah Khamenei cast himself as a religious scholar as well as a writer and translator of works on Islam. He affected an avuncular and magnanimous aloofness, running the country from a perch above the jousting of daily politics.”

ABC News was once again treading dangerously close to serious legal lability. During Thursday’s episode of The View, co-host Sunny Hostin spew allegations – without evidence – about President Trump “sexually assaulting that 13-year-old.” A short time later, Hostin was made to reel in her definitive claims with a touch of skepticism by noting what she was referring to were “unverified allegations,” which were being pushed by Democrats and the liberal media.

The liberal ladies were discussing the Epstein files yet again after Democratic House member Robert Garcia (CA) claimed 50 pages were missing related to a salacious claim made against the President involving a 13-year-old girl.

In their discussion, Hostin spoke about the allegation as if it was fact:

HOSTIN: I want to know where those pages are.

JOY BEHAR: What was taken out?

HOSTIN: Well, we don’t know what was taken out, but what we know is that Representative Garcia read about 50 — 50 pages are left out. He did read an account of the President sexually assaulting that 13-year-old.

BEHAR: Trump. This president.

HOSTIN: Yes.

A short time later, co-host Joy Behar handed Hostin a card and teed her up to hedge her accusation by admitting the allegations were “unverified,” but she needed to get a dig in by reading them:

I want to be very careful here because these are allegations and President Trump has consistently – they’re unverified allegations and President Trump has consistently denied all the allegations and any wrongdoing. BUT there was a presentation made by the FBI and the witness stated that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump, who subsequently forced her head down and punched her in the head in response to something that she did.

The Columbia University Apartheid Divest group has sparked significant controversy and backlash after posting the phrase “Marg bar Amrika,” which means “Death to America” in Persian, on social media.

The phrase was posted Saturday on its X account after the joint U.S.-Israel military strike on Iran that killed the Ayatollah Khamenei, who popularized the slogan. The post on X went viral before it was deleted.

Columbia University officially denounced the post and distanced itself from the group.

“The group that calls itself ‘CUAD’ is not a recognized student group, or affiliated in any way with the University,” Columbia’s March 1 statement read. “There is no evidence that anyone currently in control of their account is a current Columbia student, staff, or faculty member.
