    Ragin' Cajun on X: "I am not a jingoist by any stretch of the word. Moreover, my daughter is on the USS Lincoln as we speak. I have skin in this game. I have read (and heard) a lot of BS about whether or not we should be in Iran. Let me be clear...I've been a SME on Iran for 25÷ years. I speak Persian Farsi, Dari, Balochi, and Tajik. I've been to Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and yes... Iran. There are few who know Iran as "intimately" as I do. The reasons for this war are nuanced and complicated, but...

    @SaraGonzalesTX Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, I am one of your biggest supporters and I am urging you as someone who is in the Texas grassroots: do NOT endorse Cornyn. It will be one of your biggest mistakes. The majority of Texas voters voted AGAINST Cornyn last night. We don’t want him!

    We Are the Mighty ^ | 02/05/2023 | Blake Stilwell
    ---SNIP--- The New York Times’ Terence Smith, writing about Iran in 1984, described the use of child soldiers by Iran to clear minefields. Young boys, aged 12-17 years, wore red headbands with the words ‘Sar Allah’ in Farsi (Warriors of God) and small metal keys that the Ayatollah declared were their tickets to Paradise if they were martyred in their mission. Many were sent into battle against Iraqi tanks without any protection and bound by ropes to prevent desertion. They were the first wave, making the way for Iranian tanks by clearing barbed wire and minefields with their bodies.

    @rittenhouse2a If Trump endorses Ken Paxton, I'm voting for Ken Paxton. If Trump endorses Cornyn, I'm voting for Ken Paxton. @rittenhouse2a This would be a DISASTER of a decision. A HUGE mistake. Cornyn is a RINO. One of the worst. Paxton is one of the best. He would be a HUGE upgrade to the US Senate.
  • Expats scared to speak out about the scramble to leave Dubai: Families pay up to £100,000 for private jets while avoiding the social media police

    Dubai expats have been flooding social media with posts insisting the country remains the 'safest place on Earth' - as frightened holidaymakers and British nationals scramble for flights home, with some families paying up to £100,000 for private jets to escape the war-shaken Gulf state. The extraordinary online campaign comes despite Iranian missiles and suicide drones striking across the region, leaving airports disrupted, flights cancelled and thousands of ordinary Britons desperate to get home. While the United Arab Emirates government insists its air defences are successfully intercepting most incoming attacks, the Daily Mail has learned that behind carefully curated Instagram...

    New York Times ^ | March 4 | By J. David Goodman
    Steve Toth, a hard-line conservative Texas state representative, defeated Representative Dan Crenshaw in a close-fought Republican primary on Tuesday that will sweep from the House a former Navy SEAL who has occasionally broken with fellow Republicans, according to The Associated Press. The race, in a strongly Republican district in the Houston area, was a referendum on the candidates’ fidelity to President Trump and his agenda, and whether a conservative with an independent streak like Mr. Crenshaw could still have a place in the party. Mr. Trump did not endorse either candidate, a notable blow to Mr. Crenshaw, who found himself...

    Jasmine Crockett didn’t simply lose her Senate primary. She staged a slow-motion meltdown on the way out the door, complete with preemptive claims of cheating and “disenfranchisement,” long before the votes were even done being counted. Early Tuesday evening, while ballots were still being tallied across 254 Texas counties, Crockett started laying the groundwork for an excuse. She told supporters there had been “a lot of confusion” in Dallas County. She insisted that “people have been disenfranchised,” blaming Republicans for supposedly targeting Dallas and hinting darkly at votes that might not count. Then she left her own watch party early...

    Iranian state media showed off a fleet of drones lined up inside an underground bunker as part of a chilling propaganda video. Footage, released by the semi-official Fars News Agency, shows the unmanned fleet sitting on rocket launchers and on truck beds, while dramatic background music plays in the background. Drones lined either side of an aisle leading down a brightly lit tunnel with a variety of Iranian flags.

    Democratic Representative and Texas Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett is already saying her election was rigged as voters are turned away due to confusion at the polls. You read that right. Crockett, a member of the party that will call you an “election denier” and a “threat to democracy,” is blaming “cheating” is happening in her race. Now, Jasmine Crockett is crying foul play. In a press conference earlier with House candidate Collin Allred, Crockett claimed that she is being cheated, while urging voters to “make sure that you go ahead and figure out where it is that you are supposed...

    Facing a $100 million revenue shortfall largely due to federal Medicaid reimbursement cuts, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, the largest affiliate of the national abortion business, has begun selling Botox injections and other cosmetic procedures to generate new income. The affiliate, which serves Northern California and Nevada, is introducing the services amid significant financial pressures. It closed five abortion clinics and laid off nearly 15% of its staff in 2025 after losing substantial Medicaid funding following a July spending bill under President Trump. Stacy Cross, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, said of the funding gap, “We’ll never fill...

    TEHRAN — The Iranian government has officially announced a successor to Ayatollah Khamenei, introducing today the new Supreme Ayatollah, Tucker Carlson. Ayatollah Carlson will immediately take the helm as the foremost political leader for the longstanding Muslim theocratic dictatorship. "All bow before Ayatollah Carlson. Praise Allah!" cried Iranian government officials as Ayatollah Carlson took the stage. "Truly, Allah has chosen Ayatollah Carlson to end the scourge of infidel Christians in our land once and for all. No one loves jihad more than he. Praise Allah!" In his opening address, Ayatollah Carlson confirmed that he will continue the hard-line Islamic extremism...

    Has there ever been a period in American history in the memory of almost all living people in which there has been so much change in the year since Donald Trump returned to the presidency in 2025? The whirlwind of change, both national and worldwide, is almost beyond comprehension. And in the midst of writing about all that shock over the sudden changes initiated by Trump, it is possible to slip up and make stunning admissions.Such seemed to be the case with Politico senior executive editor Alexander Burns when he appeared to slip up on Monday in "Trump Buries the...
