Trump Admin to Carry Out Preliminary Attack Plans on Iran — As Officials Consider What Sites to Target: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing preliminary plans for an attack on Iran, including the option of large-scale airstrikes.

Officials are considering how to follow through on President Trump’s recent elevated threats against the Islamic Republic, including what sites might be targeted, insiders told the Wall Street Journal.

A massive aerial strike campaign on multiple Iranian military targets is one option being considered — although Washington has not reached consensus on a plan of action.

No military equipment or personnel have been moved for a potential attack, the insiders said.

The conversations do not indicate that the US will strike, with the sources explaining that the planning is routine.

Trump, however, teased that the US was gearing up to retaliate should Tehran continue killing protesters in a post on Truth Social. (Read more from “Trump Admin to Carry Out Preliminary Attack Plans on Iran — As Officials Consider What Sites to Target: Report” HERE)

Trump Puts Political Hit On 5 Republican Senators Who Defied Him — One Isn’t Like The Others

/3 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump called for a group of Republicans to lose their reelection bids Thursday after they voted to check his authority to use military force on Venezuela.

Frequent Trump critics — Republicans Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — were among the group of five Republicans who Trump excoriated for voting to block future military action absent congressional approval. Republican Indiana Sen. Todd Young, who did not back Trump in 2024, also supported the measure. Trump also notably lashed out at Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, a close populist ally who stunningly broke with the president during Thursday’s vote.

“This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President’s Authority as Commander in Chief,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that the five dissenting Republicans should be “ashamed” of their votes and “should never be elected to office again.” . . .

Hawley, a leading populist in the Senate who frequently breaks with traditional Republican orthodoxy on economic issues, said his vote in support of the war powers resolution should not be interpreted as a rebuke of the president.

The Missouri Republican said he voted to check the president’s authority over concerns Trump could send troops to Venezuela. He previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation in November that he opposed U.S. government-backed regime change and feared getting drawn into a costly foreign war.

“With regard to Venezuela, my read of the Constitution is that if the President feels the need to put boots on the ground there in the future, Congress would need to vote on it,” Hawley wrote on X following the vote.

The lawmaker told reporters that he had no reaction to the president calling for an end to his political career. (Read more from “Trump Puts Political Hit On 5 Republican Senators Who Defied Him — One Isn’t Like The Others” HERE)

Cameraman Catches Moment Grenade Hits Congresswoman, Explodes On Head

/0 Comments/in , , /by

National Party Deputy Gladis Aurora Lopez Calderon of the Honduran Congress was seriously wounded when a grenade detonated near her head at the National Congress Thursday, multiple outlets reported.

Lopez was giving an interview when she was struck by the explosive device that was allegedly thrown by a far-left protester, according to HCH TV, a Honduran media outlet. Videos posted to X by the outlet not only showed the moment of impact, but also the object being thrown by an individual.

“We’re arriving at the emergency room, I’m in a lot of pain. I’m deaf in one ear, I think the cameras captured me being pushed out. I have to ask Human Rights to protect me,” Lopez said after the attack.

National Party Deputy Tomás Zambrano of the Honduran Congress, the party’s leader in the legislative body, said far-left protesters were responsible for the attack.

“We were giving interviews to the media, accompanied by fellow deputies from the National Party to begin the extraordinary session, and they threw bombs at us, with mortars,” Zambrano said, according to Times Now, before going on to accuse National Congress President Luis Rolando Redondo Guifarro of being responsible for the attack.

Renee Nicole Good Was Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch’ ‘Warrior’ Who Trained to Resist Feds Before Shooting

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

“I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the video plenty of times but I also know in my heart the woman she was, she was doing everything right.”

Good and her wife Rebecca, 40, were raising the boy together in the mostly working-class, activist-heavy neighborhood of south Minneapolis, which features tree-lined streets and a large number of homes with windows decked out in LGBTQ+ flags or signs depicting George Floyd.

Trump Wants to Ban Institutional Investors From Purchasing Single-Family Homes

/2 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump said in a statement on social media that he is moving to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes and that he wants Congress to “codify” the ban into law.

The president has made easing the housing crisis a goal of his second term, and many have pointed to institutional investors as a large source of the problem.

In a post on Truth Social Wednesday, Trump mentioned banning institutional housing purchases and hinted at other solutions to ease the housing crisis.

“For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream. It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing, but now, because of the Record High Inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans,” he wrote.

“It is for that reason, and much more, that I am immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it,” the president added. “People live in homes, not corporations.”

Trump did not provide details about these “steps” in the post. (Read more from “Trump Wants to Ban Institutional Investors From Purchasing Single-Family Homes” HERE)

Media Don’t Want You To Know Anti-ICE Driver In Minneapolis Rammed Agents With Her Car

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It didn’t take long, but America’s propaganda media have (unsurprisingly) already begun to whitewash the anti-ICE violence at the heart of a shooting involving U.S. immigration officials.

On Wednesday, a U.S. immigration official reportedly fired upon and killed a woman who was allegedly antagonizing agents during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis. The most pertinent detail about this story, however, is that video of the incident appears to show the suspect in question attempting to run down an agent with her vehicle.

Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin provided further information about the incident, writing on X, “Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.”

“This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement. These men and women who are simply enforcing the law on the books are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats,” McLaughlin wrote.

Having spent the past year vilifying the Trump administration’s deportations and immigration enforcement operations, it came as no surprise when legacy media leapt into action to obscure the car-ramming in its immediate coverage of the incident.

Shocking Video Captures Fatal ICE Shooting During Minneapolis Protests

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fired multiple shots at a driver while standing in front of her car during protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday, video footage shows.

At least three federal agents were seen approaching the now-deceased driver’s SUV and ordering her to step out just before the altercation occurred in a video posted on X by Minnesota Reformer journalist Max Nesterak and by Insider Wire. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) blamed the driver for the incident in a statement, claiming she attempted to run an officer over just before he fired.

“Get out of the car. Get out of the f**king car,” one agent was heard saying in the video as the group approached the vehicle on a snowy road in a suburban neighborhood. The agent then grabbed the car’s door handle, and a bystander is heard yelling “No!” as the driver begins to move the car backward.

Another agent was seen circling the car just as it was moving, eventually standing in front of it just before it lunged forward. He fired at least two shots at the driver as the car came towards him before moving out of the way as it continued moving forward, the footage shows. The car then veered off the side of the road and crashed into another vehicle. (Read more from “Shocking Video Captures Fatal ICE Shooting During Minneapolis Protests” HERE)

Dan Bongino Returns to Civilian Life by Trading Brutal Insults With Ex-Lawmaker Matt Gaetz: ‘Piece of S***’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Former deputy FBI director Dan Bongino returned to his life as a conservative content creator this week and kicked things off by getting into a profanity-filled argument with former congressman Matt Gaetz on X.

The two MAGA-affiliated media personalities began trading barbs at one another Tuesday morning, after Gaetz undermined Bongino’s political credentials by asking Grok, X’s artificial intelligence chatbot, to recount Bongino’s three unsuccessful congressional elections.

“Maybe if I spent more time at shady parties with monied insiders I would’ve won. I heard you’d know a bit about that. You’ve always been a d*** by the way,” Bongino responded to Gaetz. “Grifting off your daddy like a suckling little doggie. When I first met you in the panhandle I knew you were a piece of s***. It’s written all over that phony face of yours,” he added.

Bongino’s harsh insult kicked off a series of exchanges between the two that lasted through the afternoon.

Gaetz told Bongino to “take a chill pill,” Bongino referenced accusations of Gaetz being antisemitic, Gaetz reminded Bongino that he once endorsed him, and Bongino maintained his belief that Gaetz is “a d***.” (Read more from “Dan Bongino Returns to Civilian Life by Trading Brutal Insults With Ex-Lawmaker Matt Gaetz: ‘Piece of S***’” HERE)

Tearful 911 Call Reported Domestic Dispute at Home of Dentist, Wife, Months Before They Were Found Dead: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A woman called 911 to report what dispatchers described as a “domestic dispute” at the home of a beloved Ohio dentist and his wife months before the couple was found shot dead, according to a report.

Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife, Monique, 39, were shot dead sometime between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Dec. 30 in the upstairs of their residence — as their two children and dog remained unharmed inside, cops said.

An unknown woman called 911 around 2:45 a.m. on April 15 at the same Weinland Park address where the Tepe family lived, according to dispatch audio obtained by Fox News Digital.

The woman hung up while calling authorities, prompting an operator to call her back to make sure she no longer needed help, the audio clip showed. . .

Tepe, who worked at the Athens Dental Depot, was found with multiple gunshot wounds, and Monique suffered at least one shot to the chest, according to police records.

The Tepes were found dead after coworkers grew concerned when Spencer didn’t show up for work on the morning of Dec. 30. (Read more from “Tearful 911 Call Reported Domestic Dispute at Home of Dentist, Wife, Months Before They Were Found Dead: Report” HERE)

Thomas Massie Stands His Ground as Trump Backs Primary Challenger Over Maduro Operation Criticism

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As political tensions intensify inside the Republican Party, Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie has again found himself at the center of a national debate — not for abandoning conservative principles, but for standing firmly on them.

Following Massie’s outspoken criticism of the weekend operation to capture Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro, former President Donald Trump called for a primary challenge against him and endorsed Navy SEAL veteran Ed Gallrein. Trump praised Gallrein as an “America First” candidate and urged supporters to rally behind him.

Trump issued a blistering post on Truth Social, labeling Massie a “weak and pathetic RINO” while touting Gallrein’s military credentials and support for the strike against Maduro. The endorsement signals a direct effort to unseat the Kentucky lawmaker for refusing to fall in line behind U.S. intervention abroad.

Massie, however, has never fashioned himself as a party-line politician. Over the years, he has built a reputation as one of the few Republicans willing to challenge executive power — regardless of who occupies the Oval Office.

His criticism of the Maduro operation was no exception.

Across multiple posts on X, Massie questioned the legality, strategic wisdom, and long-term consequences of the raid. In doing so, he echoed the same caution he has consistently applied to foreign conflicts, federal overreach, and hasty military action carried out without full congressional debate.

Rather than cheer another show of force overseas, Massie urged Americans to consider precedent, constitutional authority, and the risks of mission creep — themes that have long defined his political identity.

Yet even under intense pressure and open opposition from Trump himself, Massie has not backed down.

He has made it clear that his job is not to serve a political figure or movement — but the Constitution, his district, and the values he has defended since first entering Congress.

Whether voters ultimately reward that conviction or punish it at the ballot box remains to be seen. But one thing is undeniable:

Thomas Massie is standing his ground — not out of defiance toward his party, but out of loyalty to the principles he believes the party should stand for.
