I feel like people on the right have been hesitant to push their views, we’re all considerate and stuff. The gloves have to come off if we’re going to save our country. We’ve got to get mean and fight them like for like. I’m not saying, get out in the streets and block traffic, but we’ve all got to get more aggressive when we see radical left showing who they are and not a damn person standing up for what’s right. We just sit back and say well that’s not right, or there should be a law, while we watch...

She is one half of a Trump-world power couple. But she’s on Team Elon. It’s gotten complicated. It was the three-word gavel-bang heard across Washington — the conversation-ender meant to cow colleagues and cabinet secretaries, deployed daily by a slight woman with a big job: “Elon wants this.” For months, Katie Miller, the all-purpose operative for the world’s richest man, had been entrusted to help execute Elon Musk’s merry rampage through the federal government, conveying his priorities, his vision, his likes and dislikes with the tacit force of an executive order. When she spoke, Ms. Miller implied to Trump acolytes...

You just knew this was coming. Nancy Pelosi and Democrats are now attacking President Trump for destroying the Iranian regime’s nuclear sites with bunker-busting bombs. On Saturday night the United States military under the direction of President Donald J. Trump bombed three nuclear facilities in Iran in Operation Midnight Hammer. The US dropped 14 bunker busting bombs on Iran’s largest nuclear site in Fordow. It was the largest ever attack by B-2 stealth bombers by the United States. It was also the longest flight the bombers have made since 2001. The US strike involved more than 125 US aircraft. Following...

Trump Hits Iran Trump’s address to the nation was short and to the point. It's on! On June 21, 2025, just after 10 p.m. (EST), President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. military conducted strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The operation marked a significant escalation in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, drawing the U. S. directly into the conflict. Key details of the attack President Trump stated goal was to destroy Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and halt the "nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror." The strikes hit three of Iran’s...

B-2 Spirit: US Most Feared Stealth Bomber Ever Made Welcome back to the Fluctus Channel. In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of U.S. stealth aircraft, tracing the evolution from the pioneering Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk to the iconic B-2 Spirit and culminating with the advanced Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider.

The rapid dismantling of the global aid agency remains one of the most consequential outcomes of President Trump’s efforts to overhaul the federal government, showing his willingness to tear down institutions in defiance of the courts.It was the day of President Trump’s inauguration, and the U.S. Agency for International Development’s new director looked like he might pass out, as the color drained from his face. Jason Gray, U.S.A.I.D.’s chief information officer, who had been at the agency for only two years, had just learned he would be in charge, effective immediately. Mr. Gray wasn’t supposed to be the boss. The...

Democrats calling for President Donald Trump's impeachment over the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities should be "tried for treason," former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said on Newsmax, Sunday. "American military personnel are right now in harm's way, coming back from that strike, and they're in harm's way all over the Middle East, and Democrats are condemning the president," Giuliani told Newsmax's "Sunday Agenda." Trump and the U.S. military, he added, pulled off "probably one of the most audacious, one of the most brilliant" maneuvers with how the plan rolled out, he added. He pointed out that while Trump...

Six people died, two people were hospitalized and two others remain missing after a boat capsized on Lake Tahoe Saturday night. Just before 5 p.m., the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office received multiple reports of a capsized boat carrying 10 people near D.L. Bliss State Park. The lake was reportedly experiencing large swells and waves were reaching 6 to 8 feet high. Witnesses told South Tahoe Now that around 3 p.m., the winds suddenly picked up, creating dangerous conditions on the waters.

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a threat summary in a National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin Sunday following Saturday's strikes on three key-nuclear facilities in Iran. "The ongoing Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States," the DHS statement said. DHS also said, "low-level cyber attacks against US networks by pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely, and cyber actors affiliated with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against US networks."

Calling 911 is meant to save lives. But the emergency service, and others like it, are also viewed as ripe targets for criminally minded cyber-attackers, according to a new federal assessment – and any vulnerability in those critical networks can expose victims to a multitude of dangerous ripple effects. The analysis, compiled by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and obtained by ABC News, outlines concerns that the Emergency Service Sector can be exploited and mined for sensitive data, in turn hampering medical and law enforcement services and posing an ongoing threat to personal information and public safety. "Cybercriminal exploitation...

President Donald Trump’s decision to strike three nuclear sites in Iran could deepen a divide among some of the Republican’s supporters, including high-profile backers who had said any such move would run counter to the anti-interventionism he promised to deliver. Notably though, immediately following Trump’s Saturday announcement of the strike, some of those who had publicly spoken out against U.S. involvement voiced their support. The lead-up to the move against Iranian nuclear sites had exposed fissures within Trump’s “Make American Great Again” base as some of that movement’s most vocal leaders, with large followings of their own, expressed deep concern...

At the request of the Trump administration, the Israeli Air Force took out multiple Iranian air defense systems in the 48 hours leading up to the U.S. strike on Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, three U.S. and Israeli officials told Axios. -snip- Trump's request was made directly to Netanyahu last week, after the president decided he would move forward with a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities unless a surprise diplomatic opportunity emerged. "How can we help?" Netanyahu asked, according to Israeli officials. Trump told Netanyahu he wanted the Israeli Air Force to eliminate as many Iranian air defense systems as...

President Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s three most significant nuclear sites on Saturday helped rid the world of a grave nuclear threat and was a large step toward restoring U.S. deterrence. It also creates an opportunity for a more peaceful Middle East, if the nations of the region will seize it. “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated,” Mr. Trump said Saturday night. He made clear Iran brought this on itself. “For 40 years, Iran has been saying ‘death to America,’ ‘death to Israel.’ They’ve been killing our people,” he said, citing 1,000 Americans killed by...

Shocking new satellite images have shown the extent of damage done to Iranian nuclear sites following the US's precise attacks. President Donald Trump last night ordered six B-2 stealth bombers to drop a dozen 30,000-pound 'bunker buster' bombs on the base hidden deep inside a mountain in Fordo, 80 miles south of Tehran.'The strikes were a spectacular military success,' Trump said in a late-night address from the White House, before warning that he wants peace now or that there will be dire consequences.Now, new photos reveal how the Isfahan nuclear sites have been practically 'flattened' and reduced to rubble.In the...

Six U.S. B-2 intercontinental manned strategic bombers took out Iran's deepest nuclear bomb development sites today, in what could well prove to be the most historic and important decision President Donald Trump will have made when he leaves office in 2029. The radical Muslim tyranny that has ruled Iran since Jimmy Carter was president in the late 1970s has been killing Americans for decades. Iran's murderous acts began with the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon and continued through a terrible toll of more than 600 Americans as of this day. Regardless of how one views the wisdom...

On Sunday the Pentagon revealed new details of its secret "Operation Midnight Hammer" attack on Iran's nuclear sites: The Pentagon says at 2:10 a.m. local time, the lead B-2 bomber dropped 2 GBU-57 bunker buster bombs on the first aim point at Fordo. 14 total massive ordinance penetrators were dropped on Iranian targets, followed by Tomahawk missiles. It was the largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history. 75 precision guided weapons were used during the operation. More than 125 U.S. military aircraft took part in the mission. The Pentagon says it deployed several deception tactics over Iran as it moved...
