Jewish Ingenuity: Exploding Pagers, Greenwald's Fetish Videos, Drone Bases in Iran, Mossad Does It All. The world's most dynamic intelligence service strikes again.Mossad is having a bang-up year. The Israeli intelligence agency pulled off one of the most sophisticated attacks in 2024, targeting Hezbollah operatives by blowing up their pagers and walkie-talkies, resulting in several terrorists suffering unfortunate injuries to their scrotal regions. What Mossad has managed to pull off over the last several months is arguably even more impressive, highlighting the unique versatility of an organization that stands as a testament to Jewish ingenuity....

Beginning June 13, 2025, Operation Rising Lion has centered around the capabilities of Israel’s largely U.S.-made air forces. F-16s, F-35s and the venerable F-15s have opened up the skies over Iran. That enabled a complex campaign targeting Iran’s air defenses, nuclear sites, ballistic missile and drone production, and some of Iran’s mobile missile launchers. Israel has used precision weapons ranging from the satellite-guided JDAM to the newer Small Diameter Bomb.

Sarcasm and Silliness from a Windy City Cop Wednesday, June 18, 2025 What's This? Crime is down? Nationally? Murder rates are plummeting. While we still have more than half a year to go, Kash Patel, the FBI’s director, says that the U.S. is on track to have the lowest murder rate ever. The current record low occurred in 2014 when the FBI reported a murder rate of 4.45 per 100,000. The question is: why? Law enforcement matters, but it is probably also that Trump is deporting criminal illegal aliens. According to Patel, “Let good cops be cops,” is the answer....

TEHRAN 14 Dec. (IPS) One of Iran’s most influential ruling cleric called Friday on the Muslim states to use nuclear weapon against Israel, assuring them that while such an attack would annihilate Israel, it would cost them "damages only". Also on FR

Obama-appointed Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida holds Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier in contempt of court over enforcing Florida's anti-illegal immigration laws, cooperating with the Trump admin Uthmeier had said that a prior order from the judge did not apply to law enforcement on halting immigration actions because they were not party to the case.

As thousands of young graduates prepare to take their first steps on the job market, an unexpected obstacle stands in their way: artificial intelligence. The technological promise that was supposed to relieve us of repetitive tasks seems, paradoxically, to be blocking the access of new generations to the professional world. The broken path to employment Traditionally, young people start their careers with internships, junior positions or simple assignments that allow them to learn and work their way up. But as Aneesh Raman, Head of Business Opportunities at LinkedIn, explains, “the first rung of the career ladder is disappearing”. The reason...

Alex Padilla fake cries while explaining how law enforcement protected DHS Secretary Noem from a no-name Senator interrupting her press conference.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith on Monday refuted the narrative that President Donald Trump is governing as a king following so-called “No Kings” protests on Saturday. The “No Kings” protests occurred throughout the United States and the movement’s website says the purpose of the demonstrations was to oppose “authoritarianism.” Smith, on “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” said the number of legal challenges — and victories — against the Trump administration actually prove American democracy is functioning under his presidency.

Tuesday's episode of Morning Joe did its best to rain on yesterday's parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army. First up was MSNBC commentator Anand Giridharadas—a man who seemingly has on his mind a certain issue affecting some men.Of all the adjectives he might have chosen, Giridharadas called the parade "flaccid." This from the fellow who has selected as his signature look [see screencap] a rigidly erect hairdo.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

JD Vance @JDVance Look, I'm seeing this from the inside, and am admittedly biased towards our president (and my friend), but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly on the Iran issue: First, POTUS has been amazingly consistent, over 10 years, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians to accomplish this goal. The president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment. And he said repeatedly that this would happen one...

The New York Times is still force-feeding its readers agitprop that the long-awaited inflation Armageddon it's been hawking for months is still nigh. That’s despite a bevy of welcome economic news in recent weeks that has defied the retrospectively stupid predictions of President Donald Trump’s most pompous critics still high on their bloated egos. “Where’s the Inflation From Tariffs? Just Wait, Economists Say,” doom-mongered Times reporter Colby Smith in a June 13 crystal ball item passed off as news. They always locate "Economists" to say what they want to impose as conventional "wisdom." “Tariffs raise consumer prices. It’s a view...

President Donald Trump appeared to confirm that the United States is now a part of Israel’s attack on Iran during a Tuesday morning social media post. Amid growing tensions of an escalating conflict following last week’s attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, questions have arisen over the United States’ involvement. Using the word “We,” Trump wrote Tuesday morning, “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.” While a bitter debate within MAGA rages between a pro-Israel interventionist sect and an isolationist “America First” portion, experts are wondering about the geopolitical instability that has been caused by Israel’s...

The Corvette ZR1X’s top speed is 233 mph, with a 0-60 mph time of under two seconds, according to GM. The vehicle’s LT7 twin-turbo V-8 engine that’s shared with both ZR1 models is rated at 1,064 horsepower and 828 foot-pounds of torque, the company said.

If you live in one of these states, it might be time to put down your coffee mug (at least for now). With a record-breaking heatwave sweeping across the Southwest, experts are warning that your daily cup of joe could do more harm than good. As temperatures soar well into the triple digits, staying hydrated is absolutely essential. Experts are calling out specific areas of the U.S. and urging people there to avoid coffee. The warning covers parts of California, Arizona and Nevada.The problem is caffeine, which is the key ingredient in coffee. Caffeine acts as a diuretic, meaning it...

Over the past several days, all eyes have been on the Middle East. Last week, Israel initiated “Operation Rising Lion,” its unilateral military campaign to roll back Iran’s nuclear program. The effort marks the end of a quarter-century during which Israeli policymakers desperately urged Western governments to take the threat of the Iranian atomic effort more seriously – and to take concrete steps to mitigate it.

When you let law enforcement catch criminals, you will get less crime. Murder rates are plummeting. While we still have more than half a year to go, Kash Patel, the FBI’s director, says that the U.S. is on track to have the lowest murder rate ever. The current record low occurred in 2014 when the FBI reported a murder rate of 4.45 per 100,000. The question is: why? Law enforcement matters, but it is probably also that Trump is deporting criminal illegal aliens. According to Patel, “Let good cops be cops,” is the answer. “I’m gonna let you, the agents,...

VIDEOIf you get your information only from the mainstream media then you think the case of the Minnesota shooter is already solved. Namely you believe the official line repeatedly parroted by the media that Vance Luther Boelter was a MAGA registered Republican who was so filled with rage against Democrats that he went out and shot Democrat Minnesota state officials. End of story. You can STOP thinking now. HOWEVER, independent journalists who don't blindly follow the official line are finding lots of yuuuge holes in this story and are reporting that the facts just do NOT add up.

The endgame of the current Israel-Iran conflict presents two distinct goals: preventing a nuclear Iran and achieving regime change in Tehran. While regime change is a hope for many, the primary and more achievable objective for Israel and the US should be the complete and verifiable dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program.

The anti-Israel, pro-Iran faction on the right lost Trump. Whether or not America takes part in the fighting, the administration is complicit in the battle against a rogue, terrorist state. And the isolationist “woke right” is furious about that. Jonathan S. Tobin. (June 16, 2025 / JNS). Who is losing the most in the successful strikes on Iran by the Israeli Defense Forces? At the top of the list is, obviously, the Islamist regime itself. It has had its terrorist infrastructure in the form of the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as what is left of...
