The animals running Iran . 🇮🇷 Iranian women’s footballers had their passports confiscated upon arrival in Australia for the Women’s Asian Cup – officials reportedly did this to make any potential escape more difficult. Each player was also required to provide a large financial guarantee to the Iranian government before departure and disclose the identities and locations of their family members. The players’ phones were also taken away, and after they refused to sing the national anthem, they were banned from using the shared hotel showers or sitting in the restaurant. The Ayatollahs are just a level below humanity. 1 Like |

Alamkiir:Would your life have been at risk of you were in Caracas when the raid occured. Or if you are in Tehran , would you be afraid of losing your life from IDF and USAF bombs? Conversely if you are in Israel or the middle east would your life be at risk from Iran bombs, drones and missiles Iran regime is a terrorist nation. Their actions are no different from Osama bin Laden or ISIS. Using sheer terror they have ruled over Iranians, majority of whom do not want them. They also want to spark a religious war, by saying Israel shouldn't exist. Poor Iran , the neighbours targeted love their luxurious lives more than they hate Israel. The world generally disapproves cluster munitions as tending to a war crime when used on civilians. Don't know whether you are happy if civilians die from Iranian attacks, I would not be surprised if you are happier when it's the Joos dying. 1 Like |

Y Alamkiir:This affects everyone in the world. This is nowhere close to blackmail. The Ayatollahs have no mandate in behalf of the Iranian mandate and they need to seek one That's my opinion. In history a few people brutalized & butchered their way into power and caused untold grief. Nazi under Hitler Marxists under Lenin Cambodia under Pol Pot Vietnam under the communists Reds in China under Mao Tse Tung I don't see these Ayatollahs as any different. If they want that now without a nuclear bomb,what about the day they get one. A suicidal maniacal sect that believes a holy war will usher in the return of the Mahdi. The world knows how to deal with such savages. 1 Like |

Senate leader has been refusing to force the SAVE Act saying he doesn't have votes. 71% of the country want it with Republicans over 90% . Trump says he won't sign any other bill before the SAVE Act is brought to his desk As usual it's the RINOs who are sabotaging his agenda. Senator John Cornyon will lose to Texas AG in mid terms. Him and Senate leader are demanding Trump endorses him over AG Paxton in order to support the SAVE Act. Typical RINO blackmail. Obama rammed his healthcare without a single Republican vote. Meanwhile Trump is equated with dictators complete with a monument in Vietnam. They face a strep tariff owing to repackaging Chinese products and sending them to America.

Dan Caine: Over 5,000 Targets Destroyed in Operation Epic Fury – Iran’s Missiles and Navy Crushed General Dan "Razin" Caine delivered a powerful war map update today at the Pentagon on Operation Epic Fury, showing America's decisive dominance against the Iranian regime. To date, U.S. forces have hammered over 5,000 targets, obliterating missile launchers, drone factories, production sites, and more. Ballistic missile attacks from Iran have plunged by 90 percent. Drone incursions are down 83 percent. In a crushing blow to their naval power, more than 50 Iranian ships have been sunk. Progress continues on the southern flanks with strong support from CENTCOM partners. Under President Trump's leadership, our military is delivering overwhelming force to destroy Iran's ability to threaten the region or pursue nuclear weapons – no mercy, no retreat. Iran : We are shooting drones every day, downed several F-35s , sunk a Destroyer and damaged the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. 1 Like |

I'm going to vent! I have lived through Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, H. W. Bush, Clinton, W. Bush, Obama, Biden*, and now Trump!!! NEVER, ever in my lifetime have I ever seen or heard of a President being scrutinized over every word he speaks. He's been hated and humiliated by the public to the point of others wanting to commit violence. He's slandered constantly and ridiculed often. He has been insulted, lied to, lied about, and threatened. People have threatened our beautiful First Lady, and his children have also been insulted and humiliated. I am truly ashamed of some of the people of this country. I am ashamed of the ruthless, hating, cruel, Trumpfobian people that have no morals and no conscience. I am ashamed and sick of those who feel they have the right to say and do the things they are doing. Every other President, after elected and in office, was given a chance. They were not on the news 24/7, and every word spoken was not dissected. Our current president is pressured to do this or that and never given the support to do it. Now, we have Tax Reform. Every President in recent history TALKED about tax reform. We would hear about this for a week or two and then nothing. With President Trump, we have been hearing about this for months, and he is carrying out his promises, much to the dismay and disapproval of some. ENOUGH is ENOUGH is ENOUGH! LEAVE THE MAN ALONE AND LET HIM DO HIS JOB! You don't have to |

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says that Democrats will not vote to reopen DHS, unless Republicans agree to keep ICE agents away from polling centers #DC "We want an explicit prohibition, that ICE can go nowhere near any polling sites in the United States of America. It's one of our demands & we're not going to bend on it." Critics say this is proof that Democrats are counting on illegal migrant votes to win elections - prioritizing potential fraud over national security. Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) issued a list of 10 ICE reforms last month as a condition for funding. #ice Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), have blasted the stance as a dangerous game that weakens border enforcement and election integrity. "It's the reason why we are in a DHS shutdown right now, because Republicans have refused to agree to the type of bold transformative meaningful and dramatic reforms we are demanding In order for the Department of Homeland Security funding bill To move forward" "We've talked about repeatedly [getting] ICE out of sensitive locations And we've defined that as schools, houses of worship Hospitals and polling sites" "We want an explicit prohibition That ice can go nowhere near any polling site in the United States It's one our demands. We're not going to bend on it" The shutdown has stopped ICE oversight by the DHS inspector general, paused disaster relief preparations for FEMA ahead of hurricane season, and disrupted airport security operations during heightened global tensions. Democrats' 10-point list, outlined in a letter to GOP leaders, includes non-negotiable changes before they'll vote to fund DHS: 🔷️Requiring judicial warrants on all arrests and entries into homes. 🔷️Mandating body cameras for all ICE agents during operations. 🔷️Banning agents from wearing face masks or concealing identities. 🔷️Prohibiting racial or ethnic profiling in enforcement actions. 🔷️Explicitly barring ICE from "sensitive locations" like schools, hospitals, houses of worship, and polling sites. 🔷️Limiting use of force and establishing clearer accountability for violations. 🔷️Halting the creation of databases tracking activists or protesters. 🔷️Regulating ICE uniforms to ensure clear identification. 🔷️Ending alleged aggressive tactics that "terrorize communities." 🔷️Providing oversight mechanisms to prevent future abuses. Schumer added that over 20 million will be removed from voter rolls if the SAVE Act is passed. Putting two and two together, democrats rely on imported voters in select jurisdictions to win states and congressional seats. |

I'd love to see this debunked not that I can prove it's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I'm sure there are experts here. The strike on a girls' school in Minab, Iran, that killed 165 people—including many schoolgirls—has become a major propaganda point for the regime. Iranian officials blame a U.S. or joint U.S.-Israeli attack. New video evidence and analysis tell a different story. Matt Tardio (@angertab) lays it out clearly: the munition approached from the east, over land. That rules out a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile with near certainty. U.S. Navy ships launch Tomahawks from the Gulf of Oman or Arabian Sea—well south of the target. A realistic flight path stays over water as long as possible to minimize detection and interception risk. Sending one hundreds of miles inland, over hostile territory on day one of conflict, defies basic military logic. It's high-risk and unnecessary. The video, geolocated from the south/southwest across the street (consistent with Bellingcat methods), shows the incoming projectile from the east. That inland vector points away from American sea-based platforms. Iran's narrative collapses under simple trajectory math. The regime likely wants to pin civilian deaths on the U.S. to rally support and deflect from its own vulnerabilities. The facts point elsewhere. This fits the pattern: Tehran exploits tragedies while the real story emerges from open-source evidence. The direction alone nails the coffin shut on their U.S. missile claim. 2 Likes
