U.S. forces aren't holding back on the mission to sink the entire Iranian Navy. Today, an Iranian drone carrier, roughly the size of a WWII aircraft carrier, was struck and is now on fire.

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
Trump the dictator. Or so we are told Who can't deport anyone a judge doesn't want. Whose DHS has not been funded ,yet at this time there is a risk sleeper cells sponsored by Iran regime might act.

Several items of note.
House committee blocked the vote on releasing congressional records of payouts to staffers sexually harassed by Congress members. A congress slash fund has paid over $17 million to staffers harassed by Congress and Senate. The same house that is demanding full Epstein documents release hoping they can nail Trump while refusing to stand up for victims.

House also voted to block immigration records for Ilhan Nur Elmi Omar relating to marrying her brother and lying about whether her age (17) when she acquired naturalization from her father in 2000. According to public records she was born in 1981 making her over 18 in year 2000. Minnesota in 2019 changed her year of birth to 1982.

Both houses narrowly rejected a vote that would strip the President powers to authorize military action on Iran.
An Office of the Legal Council memo opined on April 1, 2011

"The President had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force in Libya because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.
Prior congressional approval was not constitutionally required to use military force in the limited
operations under consideration"

https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/2011/04/31/authority-military-use-in-libya.pdf

Pelosi used this to argue he didn't need congressional approval , apparently now Trump needs Congress approval. Hypocrisy.

Trump is a dictator.

Separately the SCOTUS ruled in a 9-0 decision that immigration judges decisions are final, activist judges should always defer to rulings by mmigration judges. Effectively blocking activist in black robes from creating loopholes to shield illegal aliens. A decision that in a sane society would require some judges go back to law school.

Welcome to the Republican Party
Many whites in private regards blacks as inferior.
They use the N word to describe you.
Probably your white boyfriend brags about his gay N.
When blacks don't put more effort thus become lazy allowing the white man to outshine them in everything,the white man will buttress his superiority belief.

As a black one needs to develop a thick skin, stop whining looking for ways to silence the white man and force him to love you.

BTW. We always blame tribes for African poverty,what tribe is Jamaica,Liberia or Haiti

This war i can confidently call it Jew hatred. Assad is often accused of war crimes for dropping cluster mmunitions.Russia the same.

When iran drops cluster,it's a good thing.A game changer .

https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/05/29/cluster-munition-use-russia-ukraine-war

The 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions comprehensively prohibits these weapons due to their indiscriminate effects and the long-lasting danger that they pose.
_ It requires the destruction of stockpiles, clearance of areas contaminated by cluster munitions remnants, and assistance to victims


For instance , Western armies have cluster munitions that self destroy if it won't land on a heat radiating target.

The guardian goes investigating use of cluster munitions by IDF in 2024/2025. Article tone suggests its a crime of sorts .

She lied to Congress about Trump approving the $230 million ad contract used by DHS to urge illegal immigrants to self deport.
To a company that had been registered a week before

Of course. Na so. Meanwhile Israel is being bombarded so hard, the Israeli state is actively censoring videos and images of bombardment and sheer scale of destruction.

On the other hand, the US has now activated Operation beggy beggy. The US and the GCC have turned to Ukraine....... yes you read it right, war-torn Ukraine for help. Zelensky has since obliged, on the condition that it doesn't threaten their ability to hold off Russia.


The EU also activated Operation beggy beggy as well. They are also begging Ukraine to allow for safe passage of Russian Oil, since the closure of the strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces. Yes, the same Russia we have spent billions fighting.


Looks like pangolo Iran is causing a lot of havoc from their caves.
I don't know what you mean by taking a beating. Look at Gaza. Still standing despite a majority of buildings bombed out. Hamas is still holding out
Let's say in Israel 200 buildings are bombed. Very few casualties because bomb shelters were built for that.
Israel is the Jewish last home. Will take more than Gaza level destruction before surrender .
IDF is operating freely over Iran airspace bombing anything valuable unlike Iran which has to wheel out missiles secretly from dungeons.
Convince yourself that Iran missiles are game changers. They are it's Achilles heel. The Ayatollah is gone.Wasted a trillion dollars plotting to rid Israel instead of uplifting it's people. China and Russia missile defense look like junk ,don't know which country will buy them.

This battle is very different from previous technologically.

It takes in all data points,selects the target ,the best weapon to use in real time. Data points are intelligence , human, electronic, satellite $ drone feeds ,GPS etc.. Everything you can feed it in real time and in minutes it's done the work analysts would take days ..

Dey dere dey follow one-sided news. Your echo chambers is obscuring the real inventory from you. Let me paint the picture for you.

Iran has literally wiped off the US bases in Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain, with severe damage to the bases in the UAE.

The AN/FPS-132 early warning radar system stations at the Al Udeid base in Qaatar valued at over $1bn is destroyed. This is the principal early warning missile system that protects the entire middle east. At a replacement duration of nearly 10 years and cost upwards of 1bn dollars, it is already a huge doubt if that base will ever come alive again.


On top of this, the Iranians have destroyed 2 x AN/GSC-52B SATCOM terminals on the Fifth Fleet US Naval Base in Bahrain and cleared the entire base. The USS Ford and its entire carrier strike group had to retreat, and are now looking to reload at Indian bases.

The Iranians also destroyed 3 x AN/TPY-2 THAAD Battery and Missile defence systems. To put things in perspective, the US has only 11 of these things stationed around the world. It's so bad, the US is now looking to move THAAD systems from Korea.


Whilst the US and Israel are just trying to carpet bomb a country the size of the entire western Europe, Iran is surgically dismantling the US from the outside in. Almost surely, the US' hegemony in the middle East is over.

The US is running out of precision-guided munitions. Lockheed Martin can only produce 600 missiles a year. On the contrary, factories inside of Iran and China are producing 1000 per month.

Sit down dey watch Fox News.
Well no mean achievement. The US and Israel have only a few weeks to surrender.
As I predicted the Sunni nations will be happy to finally crush the Shia . Shia are only 15% of Muslims the others are Sunnis 80% plus a few Baha'i,etc.
The dunderheads hiding in caves with their rapidly diminishing chances of firing them are exposed. B-52 flying all over shows they have no air defences to talk about

How do you vet this guy? He was a Christian, his parents are Christians from Nigeria, he was born in the UK, he converted to Islam.

It's a gamble, now they are openly preaching in mosques about taking over and changing the system to an Islam driven system.

They hardly assimilate, look at Ilhan Omar, she is in Congress but she has not assimilated. She hates the country, but look at the communities in Michigan, the growing community in New York, and Texas. See how emboldened they seem now that Mondani has been elected?
The goal of Islam is to take over the world. Only the Islam god should be worshipped.By whatever means necessary. Striking terror into the hearts of the unbelievers is one way. Dying when fighting for Allah is a sure ticket to paradise.If you kill an unbeliever very good,if you kill.a Jew much more better
Thats what is preached in most Wahabbi and salafist mosques everyday . Its straight from their holy book and traditions ..Most Muslims don't follow strictly.
Some do and are easily convinced to carry out terror attacks.
Many preachers talk about normal life,and leave out interpretation of the violent parts.
A Muslim will tell you that his "deen" has no violence ,based on what he's been taught and he sincerely believes it.He will deny every verse you quote ,because that's what he's been taught.
The one common thing preached in Islam is Jew hatred.

Oh, and by the way, every war, since the history of mankind has been the conservatives of one society going to war with the conservatives of the other society. The ayatollah his men are the conservatives of the Iranian society. The people want to be free of the repressive anti woman govt. Trump and his supporters are the conservatives of the American Society- fighting hard to restrict women’s rights. Netanyahu and his supporters are the conservatives of the Israeli society.

The thing is, conservatives can only see the ugliness in themselves if it is reflected in another group of people . When you ask conservatives in America, what they fear most, they’ll tell you things like sharia law and all the conservative things that happen in Muslim countries, but if we table them side by side, it’s near identical to the kind of society they want for in America.

Leftists in different countries do not go to war with each other. American leftists do not go to war with leftists even in non allied countries. Isn’t it interesting that the “conservatives” are always the extremists of each society. A plague on progress.
The most stupid analogy I ever read. That conservatives want the same thing as Sharia.

Shows that you are not a liberal.
Most Muslims are good people pretty ignorant . The devout ones from my experiences are those who become terrorists or those who think Islam is the best thing for humanity.
If I was running a govt I would only invite specific Muslims and seriously vet them.
UK invited Muslims for their votes, somehow a seat Labour has held for over 100 years went to Green party courtesy of the Muslim vote.
Muslims get away with everything including fraud because noone will ask them ,hey why do your books say so, why do you hate Joos ........ etc
The liberals protect them from being questioned , using terms like racist or islamophobic.

If I governed a country, there’s no way I would allow Islam in.

Imagine two Nigerians; one of them was a Jehovah's Witness who converted to Islam, and soon after, he tries to behead someone.

When they murdered Lee Rigby, ther justification was that British soldiers are killing their brothers in Iraq. These are Nigerian men who grew up in the UK.

In typical fashion, we are now hearing that the CIA is looking to arm the Kurds for a ground invasion in Iran.

These lunatics, after suffering a serious humiliation, and realising they cannot effect regime change from the skies after all are now looking to bring the Kurds to meet their death.

And yes, to meet their death, because if the Kurds invade, then Turkey will join the war, risking a potential conflict between Turkey and Israel/US.

Can you imagine the insanity?

They don't care who dies. When the Kurds get annihilated in their millions, the US will do what US does - abandon them and move on to the next victims.

When the aftermath of this comes to light in the future, and a new Kurdish terrorist organisation is birthed, following yet another US/Israel betrayal, the NeoCons will be preparing for another war, because Kurds are screaming death to American and Israel.

A violent illegal alien with prior conviction released from prison despite pleas by police to keep him locked up .
He ends up stabbing.

Newly released email shows police warned State Attorney's office NOT to release illegal migrant because he would hurt someone - he was released and allegedly m*rdered Stephanie Minter.
The Fairfax County Police explicitly warned Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano's office last November about the danger of releasing Abdul Jalloh, an illegal migrant with a lengthy criminal history, saying

"It's not a question of if, but when he will maliciously wound (or worse) again"

They noted how the illegal was a violent repeat offender who should be kept behind bars.

They released him anyway and shortly after Jalloh allegedly stabbed 41-year-old Minter to death at a bus stop shelter.

Minter was found with multiple stab wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.

Jalloh, a 32-year-old Sierra Leone national who came into the U.S. illegally and had an ICE removal order, was previously arrested 30 times, including charges for r*pe, malicious wounding, assaults, and more.
Descano's office repeatedly dropped or failed to pursue violent charges against him

Gov. Abigail Spanberger is not willing to cooperate with ICE will not honor detaimers.

Jalloh faces second-degree murder charges and remains held without bond.


Whoever released him should be charged as an accessory to murder.
I posted this a few days ago.

Colin Gray (Georgia) was convicted on 27 counts for providing his 14-year-old son, Colt Gray, with an AR-15-style rifle as a Christmas gift despite multiple warnings about the teen’s deteriorating mental health and obsession with past school shooters.


What do the liberal left gain by releasing violent criminals back to society?

Update shows that Iran magical hypersonic, drones and ballistic missiles will make the US and Israel surrender and donate all their military might to Iran.
Those Iranian missiles be deadly,they have also recalibrated their radar to Ku Band ,now F-22s and F-35s are dropping like flies.

According to the U.S. Central Command, the Navy has “struck or sunk to the bottom of the ocean” over 20 ships belonging to the Iranian Navy. This includes a Soleimani-class warship, which U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth described as the “prize” of the Iranian regime.

11:50 AM: The Israel Defense Forces said on Wednesday that it has bombed a major military complex in Tehran that served as the “headquarters for the entire Iranian security apparatus”. According to the IDF, the complex housed bases for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the Quds Force, the Basij paramilitary, the Internal Security Special Forces, Cyber Commands, and the Internal Security Assistance and Protest Suppression Unit.

10:05 AM: Israel has dropped over 5,000 bombs on Iran

The Israeli Air Force said that it has dropped over 5,000 munitions on Iran since the conflict began on Saturday, and that its fighter jets will “continue to deepen air superiority across all of Iran, with an emphasis on the Tehran area.”

08:50 AM: Iran’s missile and drone capabilities slashed

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said that Iran’s military capabilities have been greatly diminished since the start of Operation Epic Fury, saying that the number of ballistic missiles fired from Iran are down by 86 per cent since fighting began on Saturday, and 23 per cent down in the past 24 hours, alone. General Caine added that the number of Iranian one-way attack drones sent off have fell by 73 per cent since the start of the conflict

Widespread Opposition: In a leaked 2026 government survey, 92% of Iranians reportedly opposed the regime.

Systemic Discontent: Independent 2024–2025 GAMAAN polls found 70–80% of citizens favored a transition away from the Islamic Republic.

Theocracy vs. Democracy: Approximately 73% of Iranians supported the separation of religion and state, with 89% favoring a democratic system.

Khamenei’s personal approval sat at roughly 11% in late 2024 surveys
