The United States and Israel Are Lighting
Up Tehran

Well, it's on. The United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran, to the surprise of almost no one. Well, maybe to the surprise of the Iranian regime. This is from our stalwart Townhall colleague Matt Vespa: As I write this, the information is coming in at a furious pace. Whenever things like this are happening, the task is to filter what's helpful and what is not. Even with my skills, this story makes that a challenge. Here is an official confirmation of what we know so far: They’ve lied about everything—from the economy to your gas stove. And they’re not stopping.

Just a few months after I was born in Iran, the Islamic (Demonic) Revolution took place, hijacking the country of my birth and, today, 90 million Iranians, giving birth to the Islamic Republic. Make no mistake, the Islamic Republic was conceived by evil, born in sin, and against the United States to the core of its DNA. Anyone who thinks that a war against the Islamic Republic and the ayatollahs is wrong does not know history and does not understand the dangerous threats that it poses to all Americans.
The United States together with the State of Israel have begun major military combat operations against Iran. Early reports indicate several top Iranian military leaders have been killed. President Trump made the announcement moments ago According to the Associated Press (AP) “The U.S. strikes took place from both air and sea, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing military operations.”

President Donald J. Trump released a statement early Saturday morning following reports that the United States has begun what he described as “major combat operations in Iran” after Israeli forces launched pre-emptive strikes on Iranian targets overnight.
The Commander-in-Chief confirmed that American forces are now engaged in what he described as a “massive and ongoing operation” aimed at neutralizing the Iranian regime’s ability to threaten U.S. troops, American allies, and the homeland itself.
President Trump outlined a decades-long pattern of Iranian aggression, reminding Americans that the regime has openly chanted “Death to America” since its inception in 1979 while backing terrorist attacks that have killed U.S. service members across the Middle East.
In Great Britain, the Labour Party no longer represents the interests of organised labour, the Conservative Party has not for a long time been remotely conservative, and even the Monster Raving Loonies now appear comparatively sane. At first sight, the Green Party, too, look to have gone down this same nominatively anti-determinist path, diluting its former focus upon worshipping Gaia and becoming much more of an Islam-pandering vehicle for worshipping Gaza. But, in another sense, the Greens really are still the party of green issues – because green is the historical colour of Islam.
As our managing editor Jennifer Van Laar reported earlier Friday night, the United States, in conjunction with Israel, has launched a daytime military campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran after talks failed to bring a breakthrough over the despotic regime’s nuclear ambitions. Iran is now responding to the ongoing mission, dubbed “Operation Epic Fox News reporter Trey Yingst said that air sirens are going off in the Jewish state’s second-largest city, Tel Aviv:

And they’re not stopping.
Joint American-Israeli strikes against Iran took place over night, with U.S. President Donald Trump addressing both the nation and the people of Iran. Announcing the strikes to eliminate “imminent threats from the Iranian regime” which “directly endangers the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world”, Trump said: “A short time ago, the United States Military began major combat operations in Iran”.
Iranian retaliatory strikes have been launched against Israel.
The US and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran Saturday morning in response to the regime’s refusal to dismantle its nuclear program after weeks of negotiations.
The attacks — which the Department of War called “Operation Epic Fury” — follow a massive US military buildup in the Middle East and come after President Trump repeatedly warned Tehran that it would face consequences if it didn’t make a deal with the US.
Iran then launched missiles towards Israel in a retaliatory attack as officials claimed the response would be “crushing.”
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is drawing criticism after he dismissed reports of an unruly mob pelting NYPD officers with ice and snow at Washington Square Park earlier this week as a “snowball fight.”
Officers had been summoned to the park after several individuals, who had gathered for a massive snowball fight organized on social media, began climbing onto a nearby building.
Eyewitnesses say officers, using a loudspeaker, initially encouraged the crowd to stay in the park and to have fun and then stood back to monitor the situation.

Right After Jack Hughes Gets Standing
O at Hockey Ceremony 9 replies
Hockey fans in New Jersey loudly booed NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill (D.) during a pregame ceremony Wednesday at the Prudential Center in Newark, where the team honored Olympic gold medalist Jack Hughes. Thunderous boos erupted as Sherrill and her husband, Jason Hedberg, were introduced before the New Jersey Devils game against the Buffalo Sabres. Sherrill and Hedberg were joining Hughes and Olympic teammate Tage Thompson for a photo.
The negative reaction to the Democrat governor stood in stark contrast to the celebratory atmosphere for Hughes, who received loud cheers, a standing ovation and chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” just moments earlier.
Vanguard Group will pay $29.5 million and bolster its passive investing approach in order to settle a suit by 13 Republican state attorneys general claiming the fund manager and rivals violated antitrust law through their climate activism.
The suit in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas has been closely watched as a test of how far Republicans from energy-producing states would push Wall Street firms they accused of overemphasizing environmental matters.
In a press release, one of the plaintiffs, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, said Vanguard “agreed to strict passivity commitments”

Palisades inferno was never put out, ignored

Fire crews were ordered to leave the Lachman fire before it was fully extinguished — with it later reigniting into the horrific Palisades fire, a firefighter has claimed.
Scott Pike said he was blown off by a captain when he warned there were five areas still smoking at the site that were too hot to touch with his gloves on.
His comments came in a lawsuit — which city lawyers tried to block from being made public — filed by victims of the inferno against Los Angeles and California. According to the LA Times, Pike said:

agents who use ‘excessive force’ against residents 26 replies
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has formally banned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from city property as well as mandated the detention of any agent who uses “excessive force” on city residents.
The Democrat leader officially moved to protect illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement with an executive order that comes amid his party’s efforts to use the current partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as leverage to force changes to ICE that would severely impact its mission.
“No ICE officer gets to stand in our way of saving someone’s life. To protect Denver, if we see any ICE officer using excessive force against a Denver resident,
Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) isn’t just leading in the Texas Democrat U.S. Senate primary anymore. She’s pulling away, and she’s doing it as early voting is already underway.
The latest statewide survey, conducted Feb. 2 through Feb. 16 among likely Democrat primary voters, shows the Dallas congresswoman expanding her edge over state Rep. James Talarico. Early voting began Feb. 17 and runs through Feb. 27 ahead of the March primary, which means this shift is happening while ballots are being cast.
“Crockett leads Talarico 56 percent to 44 percent among likely Democratic primary voters statewide.”
WASHINGTON — A crowd gathered at a commuter gate at Reagan National Airport on Friday as fog-laden Washington skies caused an hourlong ground stop that backed up passengers hoping to head out from American Airlines' Terminal D. (Snip) Biden, who has rarely made public appearances since leaving office last year, sat, like many of his fellow passengers, awaiting a flight that would take him to Columbia, South Carolina, for an evening event with the South Carolina Democratic Party. Passengers whispered and gaped in wonder: Why would a man who for a time was leader of the free world be, like they
Former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the House Oversight Committee on Thursday that she had no idea about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. In her opening statement, which she later posted on X, Clinton said she had no idea of Epstein’s criminal activities. “I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island home or offices,” she said.
Speaking with reporters afterward, Clinton said she “answered every one of their questions as fully as I could,” adding that “I never met Jeffrey Epstein” and “I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually, as an acquaintance.”
The pajama party is over.
Tampa International Airport set the internet ablaze on Thursday after its official X account declared war on what it called a full-blown fashion emergency unfolding at the gate.
“We’ve seen enough. We’ve had enough. It’s time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport,” its post read.
After bragging about previously “banning Crocs,” the airport said they were moving on to address an “even larger crisis: Pajamas. At. The. Airport. In the middle of the day.”
“The madness stops today,” the X post read.” The movement starts now. Help Tampa International Airport become the world’s first Crocs-free AND pajama-free airport. Do your part. Say no to pajamas at TPA.”

The Trump administration is looking at the issues implicated in Ilhan Omar’s naturalization. That is what is to be inferred from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s comments in the video clip below: “It’s a truism of immigration law that if you commit fraud in the course of obtaining your citizenship…if you lie about your marriage status on which your citizenship depends or you’re familial status or what have you, if you fake any of those documents or you lie that’s a grounds for denaturalization and so I think it’s been credibly alleged that there are serious questions about the circumstances
President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union was one for the ages, and the night is still producing glorious fruit.
Trump held nothing back as he stealthily revealed the Democratic Party’s current “America last” position on the world stage. His repeated shaming enraged his political foes to the point where Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib began screaming like children.
Now it’s been revealed what Talib was mimicking while Republicans were patriotically chanting “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” and it’s as predictable as you’d expect. (X) Seriously.
At least that’s what the live clip looks like, which can be viewed below:
The congresswoman at the center of Thursday’s wild closed-door testimony involving Crooked Hillary Clinton is not backing down from her Democratic haters, who are flipping out.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hillary Clinton’s lawyers abruptly halted the Epstein deposition on Thursday after a photo of Hillary was leaked to conservative podcast host Benny Johnson.
The photo of Johnson was provided by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
Clinton left the room over the leaked photo, and when she returned, she sparred with Chairman James Comer (R-KY).
School officials in Lee County, Florida have taken sweeping disciplinary action against students who abandoned classrooms to participate in coordinated anti-ICE walkout protests earlier this month.
According to district officials, 2,480 students were identified for engaging in disruptive conduct during demonstrations that took place between February 4 and February 6, part of a broader protest movement that involved more than 3,600 students across 14 schools in the county.
And now, discipline is coming down.
School officials confirmed that dozens of Lee County Public School students have already been suspended for their involvement in the demonstrations, with the district warning that more punishments are likely
Citizenship is not a technicality. It is not a loophole. It is not a prize slipped across a hospital bassinet because geography happened to cooperate. Citizenship is the highest legal bond between an individual and a sovereign nation.
If that bond means anything, it must mean allegiance. That is the principle at the center of President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order 14160, signed on Jan. 20, 2025, titled Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.
The order directs federal agencies not to recognize automatic citizenship for certain children born in the United States after Feb. 19, 2025. When the mother was unlawfully present, or present only temporarily,

Could things get any worse for Minnesota's elected officials?
In just nine years, autism-related spending in Minnesota ballooned from roughly $1 million to a jaw-dropping $343 million. That is not a typo. That is a more than 34,000 percent increase. Most of that surge happened under Democrat Governor Tim Walz. (X) We are not talking about a modest policy expansion. We are not talking about inflation. We are not even talking about a doubling or tripling of a program. We are talking about a spending rocket ship fueled by taxpayer dollars with almost no serious public alarm from the people who are supposed to guard the vault.
