Spain ‘Indirectly’ Helping
U.S. Against Iran Despite Pedro Sánchez’s
‘No To War’
Posted By: 4250Luis, 3/6/2026 3:16:25 PM
Spain is “indirectly” assisting the United States’ military action against Iran’s Islamic regime despite socialist PM Pedro Sánchez’s opposition to the operations, local outlets reported. On Wednesday, Sánchez delivered a brief statement expressing his opposition to the United States and Israel’s ongoing actions against the Iranian regime, and assumed a purported neutral stance by proclaiming, “The Spanish government’s position can be summed up: no to war.” Sánchez issued his proclamation hours after President Donald Trump threatened to cut off all trade with Spain in response to the European country’s refusal to allow the U.S. military to use its bases to strike Iran.

At times, you could be forgiven for having thought that Kristi Noem wanted to be a uniformed Department of Homeland Security officer rather than the secretary of the department.
Now, the cabinet member most inclined to glamour shots out in the field is going to have to go back to wearing civilian clothes.
For all his trademark firings during “The Apprentice” and the rapid turnover of his first term, President Trump has been loath to oust top officials this time around.
Noem is the exception, and she’s earned the dubious distinction.

An update on fraud in Minnesota
4 replies
The new interim staff report on Minnesota’s fraud describes criminal activity that was enabled by a horrifying pattern of spineless government incompetence and systemic failure. Some say Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg. Best guess? Government, both state and federal, is rife with it.
According to the March 4, 2026 House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform report, “The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota’s Fraud Explosion,” there was a massive failure in “governance and oversight” that allowed “known fraud and criminal schemes to flourish,”
President Trump on Thursday confirmed his dissatisfaction with a pricey ad campaign that featured Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem.
The comments to NBC News come after Trump announced that Noem would soon be replaced as DHS chief. The $220 million advertisement depicted the former South Dakota governor on horseback, encouraging immigrants to self-deport from the U.S. Noem claimed Trump approved the ad — a claim the president refuted to Reuters shortly before she was removed from the role Thursday afternoon.
“I wasn’t thrilled with it. I spent less money than that to become president,” Trump told NBC’s Garrett Haake later Thursday. “I didn’t know about it.”
Fifty-seven percent of Americans want all illegal migrants sent home, according to a Harvard Harris poll.
The 57 percent includes 54 percent of political independents and 79 percent of Republicans, but just 35 percent of Democrats, said the February 26-28 poll of 1,999 registered voters by The Harris Poll and HarrisX. The majority support for mass deportations is notable because it remains strong amid massive resistance by pro-migration politicians, the Democrat establishment, the establishment media, and various pop-culture influencers.
The poll also showed 63 percent support for a draft law that would bar the award of commercial driver’s licenses to illegal migrants. Just 40 percent of Democrats favor the curbs.
While Jamaat has often participated in electoral politics, its long-term objective has remained unchanged: the establishment of a theocratic state under Islamic jurisprudence.
Within hours of the news [of Iranian Supreme Guide Ayatollah Ali Khameni's elimination].... Jamaat-e-Islami...[s]enior leaders delivered speeches accusing the United States and Israel of "murder" and calling for mass mobilization.
Even though organizationally separate, the Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat have maintained ideological synergy and periodic cooperation across South Asia and the Middle East. Both movements frame global politics as a civilizational struggle between Islamic governance and Western liberalism
For President Donald J. Trump, it doesn't take another 9/11 attack on the United States to strike at the head of a snake.
His preemptive assault on the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, Iran, recognizes the stark reality that the ruling ayatollahs and their Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have not only sworn to destroy the State of Israel but seek to dominate the entire Middle East, from Yemen to Syria and beyond. They have slaughtered their own citizens, murdered American military personnel, and encouraged and funded acts of terror worldwide.
Despite Trump's efforts to engage in diplomacy,
Is a Business Credit Crisis Imminent?
4 replies
Credit markets tend to unravel at the margins first. What begins as stress in a few vulnerable industries can, under the right macroeconomic conditions, morph into something broader and more systemic. That risk is becoming more salient as stagflation concerns -- a toxic combination of slower growth and stickier inflation which hasn’t been seen since the 1970s -- re-enter the conversation. In such an environment, the leveraged loan market is often the first pressure point. These floating-rate loans, typically issued by below-investment grade companies, are especially sensitive to higher interest costs and softer demand. Recently, cracks that began in tariff-exposed chemical producers spread to auto-related borrowers,
Republican voters’ routine apathy to the primary process has permitted RINOs to hijack the party and stonewall conservative priorities. Conservatives are about to have the chance to oust some of the Republican Party’s worst elected officials. The question is: Will they take it?
Primary elections to decide which Republicans will run in the 2026 midterms are now officially underway, with the states of Arkansas, North Carolina, and Texas each holding such elections on Tuesday. The states are the nation’s first primary contests for the 2026 cycle —
Policymakers often argue over whether capitalism works and how aggressively it should be restrained. But they rarely ask the more pertinent question: where, exactly, does large-scale laissez-faire capitalism even exist?
The uncomfortable answer is that in the 21st century, it barely does. Across sectors, federal policy does not merely regulate at the margins; it often coordinates at scale, sometimes through forms of rulemaking that do not appear in the traditional Federal Register. Prices, payment flows, entry conditions, risk allocation, technology adoption, and even product, service, and infrastructure design are often administered from the top down.
When you’ve constructed a cartoon version of the world in your mind, what do you do when reality proves it wrong?
If you’re the leftist establishment, you certainly don’t rethink your assumptions.
Late Friday, New York Times columnist David French snarkily referred to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as a “walking MAGA caricature” on X.
Four hours later, Hegseth’s troops were pounding Iran in an intricate series of strikes that left its evil regime reeling.
The response to French — who has not withdrawn his sneer — was unsympathetic.
My favorite: “Let’s have a contest … you and Pete show up at Fort Bragg, see who the troops respect more.”
In 1940, Harvard student John F. Kennedy wrote a famous thesis titled Why England Slept. With the help of his powerful father, the thesis was later published in book form and sold 80,000 copies. Kennedy used the U.S. royalties in the most American of ways: he bought himself a Buick convertible.Why England Slept examined England’s response (or non-response) to Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, which began all the way back in 1933, under two prime ministers, Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain. Kennedy doesn’t condemn either man. Instead, he looks at the many factors that kept Great Britain from stopping Hitler when there was still time to avoid World War II.

Jackson's funeral 51 replies
Former President Joe Biden told mourners at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s memorial service Friday that he is "a h--- of a lot smarter than most of you," a pointed remark that stood out during his tribute to the late civil rights leader. Biden made the comment while recounting how he was mocked as a child for his stutter and how speech impediments are often mistaken for a lack of intelligence.
"If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed," Biden said. "But it’s OK to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid.
President Trump didn’t attend the star-studded memorial service for the Rev. Jesse Jackson but he was at the top of mind for many of its speakers. Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Al Sharpton all used their eulogies to take pot shots at the president, his policies, and his vision for America.
“Let me just say I predicted a lot about what’s happening right now,” Harris bragged as the crowd roared in applause. “I’m not into saying I told you so but we did see it coming." She did not mention Trump by name but it was clear she was talking about his presidency. Trump overwhelmingly beat her

The Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening celebrations will begin in June, almost five years after its groundbreaking in Chicago, the Obama Foundation announced. The center -- a museum and public gathering space in honor of former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama -- will be dedicated on Thursday, June 18, and the campus will open to the public the next day, the foundation said in a press release. The celebrations will run through June 21 "with a series of events that bring together the changemakers, community members, volunteers, and supporters who made the Obama presidency a reality and
A Democrat Minnesota state lawmaker has called for a study to see if there is a "benefit of shoplifting and retail theft" while he was discussing the topic in a committee meeting on Thursday.
Democrat state Rep. Dave Pinto stated, "Yesterday, there was a presentation from a group seeking to change how we address organized retail theft,
and I actually had not occurred to me to ask, it probably would have been good, it would have been good to make sure that they would study sort of the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft because perhaps people are relying on that and sort of using that. Maybe it's
American gasoline prices continued to rise on Friday and are up the most of any week since 2022. Iran widened attacks on energy-producing countries near its borders and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to shipping, dashing hopes for a quick resolution to a crisis sending shockwaves through global markets. The United States last Saturday began a military campaign in Iran, one that has continued throughout the week with aggression. Friday at 1 p.m. Eastern, the U.S. national average price for regular gasoline had jumped approximately 35.9 cents per gallon from the same time in the previous week, reaching approximately $3.34 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.
The Man Who Loves To Tax

The cranky Vermont senator who believes billionaires should be abolished wants to legislate them out of existence. It’s too bad that he doesn’t understand that one billionaire is more valuable than a thousand Bernie Sanders.
“Billionaires should not exist,” Sanders, who identifies as a socialist, raged in 2019 during his previous attempt to hit the wealthy with an additional tax that punished them for their success.
That effort, the New York Times reported, was “particularly aggressive in how it would erode the fortunes of billionaires” and “would cut in half the wealth of the typical billionaire after 15 years,

‘Lost his way’ 19 replies
President Trump cast Tucker Carlson out of his Make America Great Again movement following the conservative talking head’s loud criticism of the US and Israeli assault on Iran.
“Tucker has lost his way,” the commander-in-chief told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl on Thursday. “I knew that a long time ago, and he’s not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.”
The comments came after Carlson recently called the strikes on Iran “absolutely disgusting and evil.”
Tucker Carlson smiles while Donald Trump,
A significant number of House Democrats voted “no” on declaring the Islamic Republic of Iran a “state sponsor of terrorism.”
Sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), the resolution passed the U.S. House on Thursday by a 372-53 vote. Two Democrats voted present. While squad members like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) were expected to vote “no,” a full 53 proved somewhat surprising. The resolution said nothing about President Trump’s strikes on Iran, while saying the regime “remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis,”
A long-time U.S. Supreme Court reporter for the New York Times, Linda Greenhouse, recently wrote a surprisingly candid description of how U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts added "gratuitous" language into his opinion on the recent tariff case, personally criticizing the president on record. Greenhouse conveniently frames the justice's indulgence, however, as a legitimate "warning" to both the president and "the waiting world." She states that Roberts "is losing patience with Trump." Apparently, the chief justice is thought to be entitled to act as a shadow president.
Thursday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) said former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will have to answer questions from investigators in Minnesota.
Walz said, “Former Secretary Noem should probably get used to spending more time in Minnesota because I have a pretty good feeling in the future she may be doing that because we have got to get accountability.”
Host Jen Psaki said, “When you say she, she’s just expect to spend some time, more time in Minnesota what do you mean by that?”
Walz said, “Well, look, our folks are going to be, looking into each and every one of these incidents that happened.

Betrayal in Operation Epic Fury Is Absolutely Wild 16 replies
Does being an European "ally" of America even mean anything anymore? That's a valid question after several NATO nations not only initially denied the use of their military bases during Operation Epic Fury, the ongoing attack on Iran, but also offered tacit support for the Islamic regime. Perhaps the most public betrayal came from Spain, whose left-wing prime minister claimed the United States was violating "international law."Given Spain's history over the last century or so, it wasn't exactly surprising that they'd take the side of Islamic fascists over the country that pays for their defense.
