I dare you to quote that post or it is a lie as usual from your side to score cheap points
I could have , search here sucks. I meant that Iran won't be able to fire any missile once USAF enforces a no fly zone in Iran with round the clock patrols . USAF can have hundreds of bombers and fighters all over Iran airspace 24/7 for months.
IDF managed to disable hundreds of missile launchers with no sustained air presence
Most launchers will be neutered .

This guys are funny bro, hitting empty military bases which has been evacuated long time ago with virtually no real value.. while your country military and governmental assets are been destroyed!!

They will celebrate one or two hits and be happy.

There's a big military target in the sea.. You dey bomb empty bases!!
The Americans and Israel have early warning and bunkers to shelter.
The Iranian population is so confident they won't be hit by a stray bomb as long as the keep away from militarized areas. The Iranian civilians can continue selling those mishkakis in the streets without any worries.
See how we are seeing ...people flee as Iranian missiles strike.....
Unlike every other country targeted by Iranian " lethal hypersonic and ballistic" missiles.

Explosions in Jordan and Kuwait. Basilico is learning the difference between Hollywood and reality
What an achievement when your own Supreme leader home is bombed , your parliament and a host of military bases in Tehran .
You don't see the irony here?

So now that the ME bases have been struck , what remains.
Iranian forces will be wiped out. .
This will be the first war fought where the military will be given the free hand to meet it's objectives.

When Israel fights ,the US and UN usually interject, micromanage abd pressure IDF.
This is different.

I thought you said Iran will not be able to shoot a single missile
I wouldn't say that. They have underground bases.
I meant most if not all their launchers will be rendered useless if the US air force wages the attack.

One country doesn't go about starting unnecessary wars because they care about the safety of their 90 million citizens. Case closed
Hezbollah and Hamas got all their missiles and most rockets from Iran.
Add training and thus is clearly Iran attacking Israel without plausible deniability.

Lopsided war. One country has enough bunkers for it's population. The other ,Iran has no problems if it's civilians will be wiped out so that the international community condemns the attacks.
Iran is aiming to attack Israel civilians plan A,B and C. That's a victory to them,if a single missile escapes the anti aircraft defence and kills Israelis.

He threatened to destroy Tel Aviv and Haif

[quote author=WriteerNg post=138609024] are those hypersonic targeting? The ammonia plant or the Dimona reactor?

As the war progresses it will be good to see who fights a moral war.
Who has an explicit mission to achieve his target.

they said iran will launch zero missiles during this war

bring out your abacus and start counting

-Lord
I retract that.
Most of their launchers will be rendered useless . Pity an army hiding underground in their own country firing missiles hoping for as many civilian deaths as possible. Including their beloved Palestinian Arabs , 20% of Israel population. That's despicable, unless their missiles can differentiate between an Arab and a Jew.

What exactly did Khomeini do to that guy to wish him dead?

Is Saudi Arabia better than Iran?
In the Iraq invasion , Iranian Quds supplied the Iraqi insurgents with Explosively Formed Penetrators EFPs , mines that killed and maimed hundreds of Americans. 608 American lives were lost.
Americans had to harden their MRAPs, the Humvees were being sliced apart by those EFPs.

Thank you.
This should be the defining war of our time.
Trump wants a US friendly govt in Iran , this should isolate China the more.
My understanding of Trump interventions in Venezuela , Iran , part South Africa and Cuba are all aimed at China. He is trying to bring Putin to good books by ending the war where both Zelensky and Putin won't lose face ,then he welcomes Russia back to the international money transfer networks. Isolate the panda, then deal with it without it's allies.

Let's see the hypersonic missiles from Iran force Israel to surrender.

The USS Carrier group is outside of Haifa, any missiles to Israel will be intercepted by it's Aegis Destroyer, the Americans will view it as an attack on them.
IDF bombs, Iran retaliates , USS Ford gets involved , and America joins.

Time to see those ship killers, hypersonics and ballistics from Iran.
This time I believe Khamenei will be the prime target. I think Trump had mentioned they know where he sleeps.

I don't think she was involved or know Epstein that well
She was being favoured by James Comey and his Deputy McCabe. In her email investigation McCabe had instructed FBI agents not to make any move without a heads-up from him. McCabe wife in 2015 had received a campaign donation from a major Clinton buddy , Terry McAuliffe so as Deputy director FBI from Jan 2016, he should have recused , he waited until 2 months to election,he was actually forced to.
James Comey was to be her AG had she won and his daughter was the lead prosecutor in the Epstein and Ghislaine cases. McCabe would have been the FBI Director.
If the FBI had any dirt connecting Clinton's to Epstein It is definitely scrubbed.
McCabe and Comey were the ones who executed the fabrication of Russia collusion in cahoots with Hilary Clinton plus other IC agencies.
Trump had broken the silence on Epstein ties to Bill Clinton in 2015 . Logically I believe if there was anything, the two would have made sure it was totally scrubbed .
Conversely if there was anything that could tie Epstein to Trump they would have used it
* *There was the accuser Katie Johnson about Trump raping her just before 2016 elections, which went nowhere, the story that's going round right now. I think she was a Clinton plant**

They just wanted to put on a show and they are getting yeye influencers involved.
She was heavily involved with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
She can lie under oath, there is no Democrat who will be indicted or convicted Washington DC for lying to Congress.
While she and Bill are not necessarily child abusers Epstein style I have no reason not to believe they are members of a cult that Epstein probably served as a High Priest Probably a satanic cult.

PS. I once worked under 2 bosses who were Freemasons. Good guys the only way you knew they were in some cult is the evenings you'd spot them in black suits and white shirts after leaving work.

FBI New York office was hacked and lost 100TB of data in 2023.
Data included Epstein material. If not all of it.

Yes. The top forensic org in the world can lose data out of a hack. They didn't have multiple offline backups.
I call BS on this.
They had years to plant any evidence they wanted, no wonder Trump called it a democrat hoax.

So far it seems only democrats have been forced to quit their positions over extensive ties to Epstein post plea deal.

There is an email where him , his wife and children visited the island while they were out cruising on their boat
Lutnick invited Epstein to a fundraising dinner he was hosting for Hillary Clinton.
He was an immediate neighbor to Epstein in New York.


Bill Clinton has said Trump was not involved with Epstein . That's not enough for you I understand because Trunp must be guilty .
Epstein $10,000 monthly Search Engine Optimization team was also suppressing Bill Clinton's negative reporting popping up. They was running 5 servers to flood the internet with positive reports about Bill Clinton.

As usual you'll accuse Lutnick of being everything but ignore the Clinton's.
Bill says he flew in the Lolita Express 27 times ,but we all know it takes 28 times to know someone is involved in shady deals. He only needed one more flight .

benalvino3:
So when you told a lie, I should be the one to provide the truth. Someone spread a lie from social media and you embraced it because it is negative to ICE or trump. Nuance, decency and righteousness out, lies and slander in.


"Blue Butterfly" is a real designation, but not sinister or new. The South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas (an ICE-contracted family detention facility run by CoreCivic, reopened in 2025 under the current administration) has long used themed "neighborhoods" or housing units with color-animal names. This dates back to the Obama era (e.g., a 2015 LA Times article mentions sections like Blue Butterfly, Brown Bear, Red Bird, Yellow Frog, and Green Turtle for family/mother-child units). It's basically a way to label dorm-like trailers or areas in the facility.

Recent viral claims (mostly on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, etc., starting around mid-February 2026) alleged that teenage girls (13-18) were being held isolated in these "Blue Butterfly Zones" with no oversight, no access for press/Congress/family, and hints of abuse or trafficking (some even linking it to Epstein symbolism via a book titled "Blue Butterfly" by a survivor).

Key clarifications from official channels:
Staff and a representative from Rep. Joaquin Castro's office (D-Texas, who has visited/raised concerns about Dilley) stated that the Blue Butterfly area houses only women 18 or older (single women, no minors). No children or teens under 18 are there.
Pregnant women and others have faced issues (e.g., limited medical access, some deportations), but not in the way alleged for minors.

There are real, documented problems at Dilley and other facilities: overcrowding, inadequate medical care, poor conditions for children (e.g., ProPublica, PBS, and CNN reports from early 2026 describe despondent kids, limited schooling, unsanitary issues, and family detention resuming on a large scale). Separate reports mention pregnant minors (as young as 13) being concentrated in certain Texas shelters where abortion access is restricted due to state law but these are not tied to "blue butterfly zones" or secret agent-only areas.

No mainstream news outlet (e.g., ProPublica, PBS, CNN, or Texas Tribune coverage) has confirmed the extreme version of the claim (secret zones for 13-18 girls with exclusive agent access and unknown horrors). Instead, the rumor seems to have spread rapidly on social media, amplified by outrage over family detention, child conditions, and historical ICE abuses (e.g., past sexual assault allegations in detention).

The post's framing (implying widespread abuse of minors in hidden zones, plus shaming Texas residents for not investigating while focusing on "blue states"wink aligns with unverified social media panic rather than verified facts. Facilities like Dilley do face serious criticism for how they treat detainees, including children and teens—but the specific "blue butterfly zones" story as a cover for secret crimes against girls 13-18 is not supported.
For some the only purpose in their lives is to believe everything they see negative about Trump and Republicans in general.

First of all , Jesus wouldnt have meddled in politics. Second of all the Republican Party as of today would be incapable of producing a candidate with the slightest qualities of Jesus Christ.

Jesus loved the poor, a large number of republicans don’t. Jesus cured the sick, the Conservative Party leadership don’t even care about health care. Jesus had almost nothing materially, a large chunk of the republican leadership only care about stocks and their pockets. Jesus loved all, a handful of conservatives are an immigrant hating bunch of people. How about wars and pedophilia? Jesus detested it, but guess who espouses it and defends it?

And yes Trump is heading towards being hitler if his wings arent clipped or chopped off.
Democrats have removed prayer from their DNC convention.
Have removed prayers from schools and meetings.
Liberals who are democrats praised a piece of art depicting Jesus in a pot of urine.
Democrats have demanded catholic run medical facilities offer abortion.

[I] 2002 (HAVA): President Bush signed the Help America Vote Act, requiring ID for first-time voters—a key GOP priority.
2005 (The "Strict" Shift): Georgia and Indiana passed the first laws requiring photo IDs, moving beyond simple signature matches.
2008 (Supreme Court): In Crawford v. Marion County, SCOTUS upheld Indiana’s law, legitimizing the GOP's "election integrity" platform.
2011–2013: Following 2010 midterm gains and the Shelby County ruling (which weakened the Voting Rights Act), Republican legislatures in states like TX, WI, and PA rapidly enacted strict ID mandates.
[/i]

You can't bring yourself to admit it's democrats who virulently don't want VoterID because "there are few cases ever prosecuted" .

bayelsaowei:
voter ID can be made mandatory, but not almost instantaneously. It shouldn’t be pushed desperately just before the mid terms, as the huge risk of disenfranchisement of a multitude of American citizens is yet to be addressed and cannot be addressed before the mid terms. It’s a project that would/should require time and not rushed.

But the thought of Trump having executive powers over elections should scare every single thinking human being in the US and around the world. It should be condemned immediately by many. Trump is claiming a system that got him elected twice is suddenly fraught with fraud (which is a mega/maga lie) and so plans to arrogate election powers to himself.

That’s MO straight out from a dictators play book. Even a Nigerian president would be shocked.

But I know I am talking to a concrete wall and a Trump worshipping bot.

we finally have an update on the cuban deaths




the cubans are saying
that the occupants of the boat are cuban nationals resident in the us
{no comment on if they are us dual citizens or green card holders)

that they were armed with intent to commit bodily harm
their objective was to infiltrate for terrorist purposes




the better route would have been to use submersibles
but i can actually believe that the 🤡🤡 in washington did try to smuggle in nefarious actors
and they fired first because they'd have been caught red handed with arms and explosives

fortunately for cuba, they're an island
surface transport in civilian craft is a high risk insertion route
