Did Trump Violate Constitution With Strike on Iran? Republicans in Congress at Odds

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the wake of President Donald Trump’s military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities Saturday, Republicans in Congress are at odds over the constitutionality of the military action without congressional approval.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said: “The President made the right call, and did what he needed to do. . .

But a fellow Republican, U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, said the dropping of 12 bunker buster bombs in a precision strike on three nuclear sites was “not constitutional.”

Massie responded directly to Johnson’s opinion, saying: “Why didn’t you call us back from vacation to vote on military action if there was a serious threat to our country?” . . .

Numerous presidents of both major political parties have taken military action against countries without congressional approval in recent years, including Democrat Barack Obama launching strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.

Kremlin Warns That Other Nations Ready to Give Iran Nukes: ‘Dangerous Escalation Has Begun’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Moscow warned Sunday that several nations are prepared to supply Tehran with nuclear weapons, as Russia and China condemned America’s attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Dmitry Medvedev, who serves as deputy head of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Security Council, claimed Saturday’s US airstrike — the first to use 15-ton GBU-57 “bunker-buster” bombs in combat — only caused minimal damage to Tehran’s nuclear sites, including the fortified Fordow enrichment plant.

Medvedev, who did not specify which countries are ready to arm Tehran, reiterated that the attacks would not stop Russia’s ally in the Middle East from acquiring nuclear weapons.

The statement comes as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he will be traveling to Moscow to meet with Putin to discuss countermeasures.

“We enjoy a strategic partnership, and we always consult with each other and coordinate our positions,” Araghchi told Russian media.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry described the American airstrike in Iran as “a gross violation of international law, the UN Charter, and UN Security Council resolutions. (Read more from “Kremlin Warns That Other Nations Ready to Give Iran Nukes: ‘Dangerous Escalation Has Begun’” HERE)

Homeland Security Warns of Possible Terrorist Attacks in U.S. Following Strike on Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Homeland Security issued a terrorism alert on Sunday — warning of possible Iranian attacks against the US following the American airstrikes against Tehran’s nuclear program.

DHS warned officials to be on the lookout for Iranian-led attacks over the next three months by terror cells inspired to retaliate following Saturday night’s strike.

“The likelihood of violent extremists in the Homeland independently mobilizing to violence in response to the conflict would likely increase if Iranian leadership issued a religious ruling calling for retaliatory violence against targets in the Homeland,” DHS said in a statement.

Trump Calls for Special Prosecutor to Investigate Rigged 2020 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump is calling for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the rigged 2020 election, polluted by everything from suspect absentee ballots to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s “Zuckbucks.”

“Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING,” Trump wrote on Friday on Truth Social.

“A Special Prosecutor must be appointed,” he continued. “This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin!”

In the same post, Trump blasted his predecessor and his “CORRUPT CRONIES” for leading an invasion that saw millions of illegal immigrants pour into the United States over Joe Biden’s presidential term. The president noted the latest U.S. Border Patrol report, which shows that the agency did not release a single illegal immigrant into the country in May, compared to 62,000 on Biden’s watch in May 2024.

Corporate media immediately sprang to Biden’s defense and turned to the tired line that Trump’s assertions about the rigged election are “baseless.” The Associated Press decried that Trump’s call for a special prosecutor comes as “his Republican White House is consumed by a hugely substantial foreign policy decision on whether to get directly involved in the Israel-Iran war. Audaciously, the AP added that Trump’s call for a real deep dive investigation into an election replete with irregularities and election-law violations “is part of an amped-up effort by him to undermine the legitimacy of Biden’s presidency.” (Read more from “Trump Calls for Special Prosecutor to Investigate Rigged 2020 Election” HERE)

U.S. Says Strikes ‘Devastated’ Iran’s Nuclear Program

/0 Comments/in , /by

Unprecedented US strikes have wrecked Iran’s nuclear program, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday, though other officials cautioned the extent of damage at the three sites was unclear.

Iran’s leaders struck a defiant tone and vowed to respond, while an advisor to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed their stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed.

International concern intensified over the surprise attacks deepening conflict in the Middle East after Israel launched its bombing campaign against Iran earlier this month.

President Donald Trump said he wanted peace and urged Iran to end the conflict after he launched massive overnight strikes on a key underground uranium enrichment site at Fordo, along with nuclear facilities in Isfahan and Natanz.

Iranians Arrested at Border Released Into U.S. by Biden Admin as Threat to Homeland Looms

/0 Comments/in , /by

Over 1,500 Iranian nationals who illegally entered the U.S. at the southern border were arrested during the Biden administration, and nearly 50% of them were released back into the country, according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source.

More specifically, Border Patrol agents arrested 1,504 Iranian nationals from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2024. Of the 1,504 individuals who were arrested, 729 were released into the U.S.

The number of Iranian nationals arrested at the southern border increased year-to-year, with 48 being arrested in FY21; 197 in FY22; 462 in FY23 and 797 in FY24.

Likewise, the number of Iranian nationals released also increased, with 12 in FY21; 40 in FY22; 229 in FY23; and 448 in FY24.

It is unclear how many of the Iranians released into the U.S. were on the terrorism watchlist, as the Biden administration repeatedly denied Fox News’ Freedom of Information Act requests and appeals for the data. The Biden administration cited “privacy concerns” of the people on the list, as well as “minimal public interest” for denying the requests.

Kristi Noem Showcases ‘Worst of the Worst’ Illegals Arrested: 12 Different Sex Offenses Against Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem highlighted some of the illegal immigrants detained by immigration enforcement over the past several days, showcasing their crimes which include “12 different sex offenses against children.”

In a video posted to her X account, Noem explained that she receives a list every day on illegal immigrants who have been picked up by immigration enforcement agents. These individuals, she emphasized, are not only in the country illegally, but criminals, highlighting some of the “worst of the worst.”

“Here we have a Guatemalan we picked up today — aggravated assault against a police officer,” she said, going through a stack of paper with pictures of the offenders.

“This one — rape of a victim under age of seventeen years old,” she said, going to the next page. “This one robbed a disabled senior citizen.”

The fourth individual highlighted by Noem has “12 different sex offenses against children. If you look at it, two counts of statutory rape of a child. Two counts of indecent assault and battery.”

Do Pentagon Pizza Orders Really Predict War? We Investigated

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon has been busy. With conflict escalating in the Middle East between Israel and Iran, many federal workers are pulling odd hours to monitor the situation on the other side of the world. And since AI hasn’t taken over every job just yet, those workers need to be fed.

Enter: the Pentagon Pizza Index.

Initially used by the Soviets as a Cold War-era tool for open-source intelligence, according to Euro News, the theory was that an increase in food deliveries to federal buildings might be an indicator of potential crises.

The theory was later popularized by Frank Meeks, a Domino’s franchise owner in the Washington, D.C., area, who told the Los Angeles Times he delivered a record number of pizzas to the CIA on Aug. 1, 1990—the night before Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.

Now, an anonymous X account, @PenPizzaReport, has taken up the mantle of monitoring the activity of pizza places neighboring the Pentagon, as reported live on Google Maps.

Although @PenPizzaReport provides valuable information by capturing the data and sharing it publicly, what it doesn’t do is compare its findings to the timeline of global events to determine whether the increase in pizza orders is one of correlation or causation. So that’s what the Daily Caller did. (Read more from “Do Pentagon Pizza Orders Really Predict War? We Investigated” HERE)

What the MN Dem Assassin Suspect Wrote to the FBI Is Wild…and It Involves Tim Walz

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vance Boelter is in custody, accused of shooting two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers. State Rep. Melissa Hortman, State Sen. John Hoffman, and their spouses were shot in the early morning hours of June 14. Hoffman and his wife survived the attack; Hortman and her husband did not. It’s an incident that Democrats tried to manufacture an attack against Trump and the GOP, claiming that the heated rhetoric led to this incident.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) even tried to cast Boelter as a crazed right-winger. That narrative quickly fell apart due to a lack of evidence. Also, left-wingers are the ones driving today’s political violence—evidence to that effect is overwhelming. Yet, this recent letter Boelter wrote to the FBI shed some light on this man’s mindset; to the shock of no one, it’s deranged. Suppose the latex mask and fake police uniform he donned when committing these attacks weren’t evidence enough to this man’s whacked psyche. In that case, this letter should do the trick: he claimed that Tim Walz ordered him to assassinate Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), so that he could run for her seat. He also said he was trained by the military off the books (via Star Tribune):

In a rambling, conspiratorial letter addressed to the FBI, alleged assassin Vance Boelter claimed Gov. Tim Walz instructed him to kill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar so that Walz could run for the U.S. Senate, according to two people familiar with the contents of the letter.

The letter is the clearest evidence yet of Boelter’s mindset after the targeted violence against Minnesota politicians last week. It is incoherent, one and a half pages long, confusing and hard to read, according to two people familiar with the letter’s contents. It includes Boelter alleging he had been trained by the U.S. military off the books, and that Walz, who is not running for Senate, had asked him to kill Klobuchar and others.

Asked to comment about the letter, Hennepin County Attorney spokesperson Daniel Borgertpoepping said the office cannot comment on an open investigation but “due to the seriousness of the allegations it contains, we will state only that we have seen no evidence that the allegations regarding Governor Walz are based in fact.”

Walz’s spokesman, Teddy Tschann, said in a statement Friday afternoon that “this tragedy continues to be deeply disturbing for all Minnesotans.”

Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for Preventing India-Pakistan War

/1 Comment/in , /by

Pakistan nominated President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for his “decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership” in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

In a post on X, the Government of Pakistan praised Trump for having “demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through a robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation.”

“The Government of Pakistan has decided to formally recommend President Donald J. Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis,” the government of Pakistan wrote. “The international community bore witness to unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression, which constituted a grave violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, resulting in the tragic loss of innocent lives, including women, children, and the elderly.”

In response, Pakistan launched an operation called Bunyanum Marsoos, which the government of Pakistan described as “a measured, resolute, and precise military response, carefully executed to re-establish deterrence and defend its territorial integrity while consciously avoiding civilian harm.”

“At a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond,” the government of Pakistan continued. “This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue.”
