Fetterman Chooses Country Over Party After
Iran Operation
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/4/2026 1:05:03 AM
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) backed the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran without hesitation, calling Operation Epic Fury entirely appropriate, and said eliminating Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the un-alived supreme leader of Iran, removed one of the most dangerous figures in modern history. President Donald Trump confirmed the mission targeted senior regime leadership gathered in Tehran, with early reports stating roughly 40 to 50 of the top Iranian officials were killed in the attack's early wave. Fetterman didn't hedge, asking why anybody would grieve leaders of a regime tied to terror networks and decades of repression. He said that Americans should recognize the strategic impac

American and Israeli forces have struck nearly 2,000 targets in Iran with more than 2,000 munitions in the first 100 hours of Operation Epic Fury, also named Roaring Lion by Tel Aviv, the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Tuesday.
Meanwhile, top Trump administration officials told Congress to expect an even larger wave of strikes in the coming days. CENTCOM: Operation Epic Fury doubled scale of Iraq's 'shock and awe'
Adm. Brad Cooper, leader of U.S. Central Command, stated that more than 50,000 U.S. troops, 200 fighter aircraft, two aircraft carriers, and long-range bombers are participating in the operation, the largest U.S. military buildup in the Middle East in a generation.
Texas Republican congressional candidate and state Rep. Steve Toth defeated Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) in the primary election for Texas’s 2nd Congressional District.
In a press release, Toth expressed that “voters want a representative” in Washington, DC, “who will stand firm in his convictions” and “fight for his constituents,” according to the Texas Tribune.
“Congressional District 2 voters want a representative in D.C. who will stand firm in his convictions, fight for his constituents, and follow through on his promises,” Toth said. “I won’t let them down.”
Texas state Rep. James Talarico secured a victory over Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, overturning weeks of polling that had shown the Dallas congresswoman with a significant advantage in the race to determine the party’s nominee in the 2026 contest for the seat currently held by Republican Sen. John Cornyn.
Recent polling ahead of the March 3 primary showed Crockett leading. A University of Texas at Tyler poll conducted Feb. 13–22 surveyed 1,117 registered voters and 959 likely voters and found Crockett with 55 percent support compared to Talarico’s 37 percent, outside the poll’s 3.2-point margin of error

Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) has been a lightning rod for criticism due to her outlandish statements, ever-changing accents, and generally reprehensible behavior. Yet somehow, she thought she was ready for the United States Senate.
The voters are weighing in, and their answer so far is: yeah, maybe not so much.
Although the official vote count has not been made final, Crockett trails at this hour to her competitor, TX state representative James Talarico. There’s already some legal back and forth, and courts are involved, so the final outcome may not be confirmed for days. Already, though, Crockett is blaming her poor performance on… election fraud.
Wait, I thought it was a danger

It came as little surprise that, in response to Operation Epic Fury, there quickly followed reports that Iran was threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. As our Ward Clark noted at the time:
The Strait of Hormuz is a major shipping lane and a critical bottleneck connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Iran controls the northern shore of the strait, while the southern side is formed by the Musandam Peninsula, belonging to Oman, with nearby coastline also held by the United Arab Emirates. The United Arab Emirates, we might note, are probably peeved at having been the apparent target of Iranian missiles
The commander of U.S. Central Command on Tuesday released a new operational update on Operation Epic Fury, outlining the scale of the ongoing U.S.-led military campaign targeting Iranian missile systems, naval assets, and military infrastructure.
In a video message posted by CENTCOM on X, Adm. Brad Cooper said the operation is now in its fourth day and involves a massive concentration of U.S. forces across the region. The update comes as U.S. and Israeli forces continue a fast-moving military campaign against Iran following several days of escalating conflict across the region. Operation Epic Fury has quickly developed into one of the largest American military deployments in the Middle East in years,
“We are not going to have election results tonight in Dallas County,” Democratic Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett told supporters late Tuesday just after primary polls closed in Texas “Unfortunately, this is what Republicans like to do,” the savvy Texas Congresswoman added of the legal confusion that had enveloped the contest on a night of elections in the Lone Star state, North Carolina and Arkansas.
“People have been disenfranchised!”
In one of the most watched Senate races of the primaries and the November midterms, Crockett’s remarks came just as a slew of votes from her stronghold of Dallas County came in and significantly cut the state lead
Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) has projected that Republicans will be headed to a runoff in the Texas Senate primary after no candidate passed the 50-percent-plus-one-vote threshold necessary to win the nomination. With more 65 percent of the vote counted, incumbent Sen. John Cornyn sits at 43.2 percent, with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton garnering 40.3 percent, and Rep. Wesley Hunt (TX-38) clocking in a distant third at 12.9 percent.
Cornyn and Paxton will now face off again on May 26. John Cornyn has been in the fight of his political life to hold onto the U.S. Senate seat he has occupied since 2002. Polls have shown him neck-and-neck
Secretary of State Marco Rubio graciously went to the microphones just off the Senate subway ahead of a late Tuesday afternoon briefing for senators about the U.S. war on Iran and, in a wholly predictable development, was shouted at repeatedly like a drunkard by CNN’s Manu Raju, who tried to further peddle the liberal media-wide lie that Rubio had said Monday the U.S. was dragged into the war by Israel.
Despite having yelled repeatedly at Rubio and even after other reporters had been called on, the secretary made Raju seat until the back-end of the media availability.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to cut off trade with Spain, accusing the NATO ally of failing to meet defense spending commitments and refusing to allow U.S. forces to use Spanish bases to support operations related to strikes against Iran.
Speaking during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House, Trump said he had directed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to "cut off all dealings with Spain," calling the country "unfriendly" and criticizing its leadership.
"We're going to cut off all trade with Spain," he told reporters. "We don't want anything to do with Spain."
Tehran is demanding unity and projecting strength after the confirmed killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
But Iran's women’s national soccer team just chose silence during the anthem of the Islamic Republic.
The moment unfolded Monday night at Cbus Super Stadium on Australia’s Gold Coast during Iran’s Asian Cup opener against South Korea.
When “Mehr-e Khavaran,” adopted in 1990, played over the loudspeakers, the players stood in formation.
They did not sing.

The son of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was selected to replace him as supreme leader, according to a report in opposition media.
Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was tapped to assume control of the country by Iran’s Assembly of Experts, a powerful body of clerics, Iranian International said Tuesday. The report was widely being picked up by Israeli media but had not been confirmed by Iranian state mouthpieces.
Mojtaba was at first believed to have been among the 40 top Iranian aides killed during the Saturday strike that took out Iran’s highest-ranking cleric.
Mamdani Promotes Islam

Last Sunday, as a massive blizzard hit New York City, Comrade Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani posted praise of municipal workers on X: “Grateful for the public workers who keep NYC running — especially in a blizzard. From 5am suhoor with @NYCSanitation to visits to @nycparks’ Randall’s Island garage, DSNY’s Flushing plow shed & @nycdot’s salting operation … it’s working people who show up for NYC.”
Mamdani included four photos, including one of him praying with four Muslim workers from the Department of Sanitation; suhoor is the meal that Muslims eat before dawn during Ramadan, as the fasting period begins with the rising of the sun.
Last week, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents who worked on the case investigating Donald Trump for taking top-secret materials to his Mar-a-Lago residence after his first term was over. Those agents have now been revealed to be part of an elite group specializing in assessing threats from Iran, according to two reports.Multiple sources with knowledge of the personnel move told the New York Sun and confirmed to MS Now that the layoffs impacted the counterespionage group tasked with investigating threats from foreign adversaries out of Iran just days before the US bombed its leaders.
The federal income tax is abusive. It is inconsistent with liberty. It has, as Chief Justice John Marshall noted, the power to destroy. There is nothing positive to be said about it. It cannot even raise government revenues efficiently. As we said a year ago, of all the good Donald Trump could do in his second term, eliminating the federal income tax would be one of his greatest achievements.
It’s clearly one of his goals.
“As time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax,” Trump said during his State of the Union address.

A Democrat running for office in California has reportedly called to defund the Pentagon, but her husband works for a company that built missiles the United States is believed to have used during the recent strikes on the Islamic regime in Iran.
Fatima Iqbal-Zubair is a candidate for the state’s 65th Assembly District and her husband, Fazlul Zubair, is an engineer manager for Raytheon, the New York Post reported Monday.
The United States and Israel launched a joint military operation targeting Iran on Saturday in part to ensure the regime will never have the capability to threaten the world with nuclear weapons, according to Breitbart News.
French President Emmanuel Macron said that the joint American-Israeli military strikes against Iran are “outside of international law.” Addressing the French public in a national broadcast, President Macron said that while Iran “bears primary responsibility for this situation,” his government also disapproves of the strikes taken by the United States and Israel against the regime in Tehran. The United States of America and Israel have decided to launch military operations, conducted outside of international law, which we cannot approve,” Macron said, according to Le Figaro.

A Russian mogul who once called sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell his “soulmate” was found dead in a luxury Moscow apartment Monday, according to reports — just weeks after his name surfaced in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Umar Dzhabrailov, a Chechen businessman and former senator, was discovered lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his head at about 3 a.m., Russian outlet Kommersant reported, citing police sources who called it a suspected suicide.
Police discovered a Luger pistol lying by the 67-year-old’s body. But Dzhabrailov — who had tried to take his life in 2020 — didn’t leave a suicide note, the sources said.
Saying that this decision sends "a powerful message that the Constitution still protects families, and California schools are not above the law," parents and teachers in California have won a "monumental" ruling at the U.S. Supreme Court, halting California schools from secretly transitioning children and hiding the information from parents until the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issues its final decision.
The U.S. Supreme Court threw out a 9th Circuit Court ruling that allowed government-run schools to keep secretly transitioning children while California parents pursued a lawsuit against the state.
The 6-3 ruling means that the parents will be able to continue exercising their fundamental civil rights "under the Free Exercise

U.S. President Donald Trump is “very disappointed” in British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over his blocking America from using joint military bases to strike Iran, a report states. It is very disappointing that Britain didn’t stand with the United States when it launched strikes against Iran’s military and weapons industry, and British Prime Minister Starmer then took too long to get involved in the defence of Middle Eastern allies once the bombs started flying, President Donald Trump has said.
