Trump's Iran War Ending Xi Jinping's 'China Dream'
Posted By: 4250Luis, 3/15/2026 6:10:53 AM
Xi has been supremely confident that China will dominate the rest of the century... "Change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years," the Chinese leader told Vladimir Putin after their 40th in-person chat, in Moscow in March 2023. "And we are driving this change together." Many in Washington and New York policy circles essentially agreed with Xi as they accepted the narrative of America's managed decline. Not President Donald Trump. In a spectacular move, he extracted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife from Caracas on January 3 and is now in the process of taking down Iran's theocracy.

Britain is a “sitting duck” for drone attacks, senior defence sources say, because Ed Miliband’s wind farms interfere with radar used by defensive domes. The Mail has the story.
Ministers have been warned the UK lacks any equivalent to Israel’s famous ‘Iron Dome’, which gives it the capability to intercept ballistic missiles at high altitude from 40 miles away.
Military chiefs have called for the Treasury to allocate the estimated £10 billion required for the system – but have so far been promised only £1 billion to scope out options.
Germany, in comparison, is spending £3.5 billion on the Arrow anti-missile system as part of an expanding pan-European air-defence network.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has confirmed that not only was the Michigan synagogue attacker’s brother in the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, but that brother was actually a commander within the group. Multiple people and outlets have cited the fact that several of Ayman Ghazali’s family members died in an Israeli counterstrike recently as some sort of excuse for why he tried to blow up a Jewish school and synagogue in West Bloomfield. Even the initial reports indicated that Ghazali’s family had terrorist ties,

President Trump said on Saturday that the U.S. would continue shooting Iranian boats and ships "out of the water" and that the Strait of Hormuz will soon reopen.
"Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are," he wrote on Truth Social.

Iran’s Shahed-style drones each cost between $20,000 and $50,000, but they can do a lot of damage. Since the latest conflict began, Iran's drones have killed six members of the Army Reserve at a command center in Kuwait on Sunday, and Iranian drones have wreaked havoc on Middle East petroleum facilities.
The FBI is now warning that Iranian drones potentially pose risks to targets in California. Some journalists in the legacy media are shocked to discover that the U.S. has limited capabilities to counter these destructive and lethal aerial devices. While it's true that neutralizing drone threats is difficult,
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The MAHA PAC is launching a $100 million fundraising campaign to bolster “Make America Healthy Again” candidates endorsed by President Donald Trump in the 2026 midterms.
The MAHA PAC, a Robert F. Kennedy-aligned super PAC dedicated to “Making America Healthy Again,” hopes to “counter the influence of Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Ag, which are funneling massive resources to Democratic opponents in a desperate bid to derail the transformative health reforms spearheaded by [Health and Human Services] Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald J. Trump,” according to a news release obtained by The Daily Signal.
Updated [9:40 PM ET]: In an update, Sec. Duffy said the ground stop has ended, with normal operations resuming. He said no one is in danger. And we now know what caused it: (emphasis added)
original story
Secretary of Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy has announced a sudden "ground stop" of airplanes arriving and departing from at least four U.S. airports, according to several breaking reports on Friday:Duffy made the announcement in an X post, which shares the reason for the stop, "a strong odor":
President Trump's Justice Department has been looking with a narrowed gaze at Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Following the president's eyes, they were specifically interested in the costly renovations of the Fed's offices. To that end, as part of an investigation being carried out by the DOJ, a grand jury has subpoenaed records having to do with those renovations.
On Friday, we learned that a federal judge has quashed those subpoenas, and you'll never guess who it was.Well, what do you know. Turns out that the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has some thoughts on all this as well.
We've seen Israel and the United States take out a lot of Iran's leaders. The two countries have also been pounding away at their military capacity. They've decimated their Navy, and they've taken over their skies.
Never before has a modern, capable military, which Iran used to have, been so quickly destroyed and made combat ineffective," Secretary of War Pete Hegseth declared.
So on one level, they've already largely succeeded in taking down the military. But how do you help the people along in rising up and overthrowing their oppressors?
Mojtaba Khamenei has stepped out from the bunker to make his first comments as Iran’s new supreme leader, more or less. It was on state media, the same propaganda tool that tried to claim his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was still alive after we turned him into an ashtray in the initial wave of attacks during Operation Epic Fury.Mojtaba was reportedly badly injured in an airstrike, losing one or both legs and being put into a medically induced coma. He is unaware of his new role as leader, the deaths of his family members, or the broader war.
We’re being told this regime wasn’t on the verge of collapse. Sorry,
When Black Privilege Turns Deadly
5 replies
It is received Establishment wisdom that everyone Caucasian in the country needs to check their ‘white privilege’ right now. But is the true problem in the country today not really white privilege, but black privilege?
Two recent cases demonstrate clearly how such black privilege works. In one, a mentally disabled white man was hounded by black vultures merely for daring inadvertently to utter a hurty word in public. In another, a mentally disabled black man was allowed to stab several innocent people to death, after cowed doctors refused to lock him safely away inside an asylum, due to fear of being called ‘racist’. This doesn’t look like white privilege to me.
US Approval of Britain Plunges to Record Low

US approval of Britain has plummeted to a record low as Donald Trump supporters shun Sir Keir Starmer over free speech suppression and other political differences, new data show. The Telegraph has the story.
The share of Americans who have a positive view of the UK has plummeted to 76% this year from 84%, according to polling by Gallup.
This is the lowest level since at least 1987 and the first time the share has ever fallen below 80%. Over the last four decades, the number has averaged 88%.
The slump was almost entirely driven by Republicans.

White Guys Have ‘Greater Responsibility’
to ‘Love…Trans Kids’ 29 replies
James “God is Non-binary” Talarico believes white males have a greater responsibility to love trans kids.
Rep. Talarico (D-TX) is the Democrat nominee for the United States Senate.
Let me just state right here and right now that people who “love trans kids” do not — as Talarico constantly does — advocate for queering, sexualizing, chemically sterilizing, and performing irreversible “gender affirming” mutilations on them.
The bottom line is this: James Transarico is a full-blown monster deliberately perverting the Christian faith to obtain power. I’ve never seen anything like this guy. He’s a demon with a baby face.
Iran said Saturday that all countries besides the US and Israel may pass through the Strait of Hormuz, in a desperate attempt at coalition busting less than a day after the US bombed military targets on its oil-critical Kharg Island.
“As a matter of fact, the Strait of Hormuz is open,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.
“It is only closed to the tankers and ships belong[ing] to our enemies, to those who are attacking us and their allies. Others are free to pass,” Araghchi told MS NOW.
Travelers nationwide are dealing with lengthy security line backups at airports due to the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and, in turn, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). As the shutdown continues, the TSA is increasingly facing staffing shortages that have led to long lines at airport security checkpoints. Unfortunately, it sounds like those staffing issues are only getting worse. “Travelers are facing TSA lines of up to nearly three hours long at some major airports, causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel,” the DHS said in a statement.
Poet Robert Frost once said that "good fences make good neighbors." He apparently never met Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is being sued by his neighbors for effectively squatting on their land and then seizing it to install a fence along his $830,500 private residence in suburban Philadelphia. The litigation is likely to put Shapiro in a much different light for many who think of him as a 2028 contender. The irony of the case is crushing. Shapiro opposed Trump's plan to build a wall along the southern border, declaring that he would sue before a dime of Pennsylvania money went to pay for it. He apparently adopted
Republican Senator Mike Lee says there has been major progress in the push to pass the SAVE America Act after mounting pressure on Senate leadership to move the legislation forward. In an update to supporters, Lee, the lead sponsor of the SAVE America Act, said recent discussions with Thune and his staff have led to meaningful progress on how the bill could be debated and brought to a vote.[snip] Lee confirmed the breakthrough in a new video clip: a HYBRID form of the talking filibuster is now set to be implemented.
George Soros’s Open Society Foundations is funding the slavery reparations campaign against Britain. The Telegraph has the story.
The Open Society Foundations (OSF), established by Hungarian investor George Soros and now led by his son, Alex Soros, has donated vast sums from its $23 billion (£17.2 billion) endowment to progressive causes.
The foundation has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups seeking to claim reparations from Britain for slavery and colonialism.
The OSF helped to found a joint Caribbean and African campaign, and supported organisations that are now considering international litigation that could heap pressure on the British Government.

volunteers — while CEO Valerie Jarrett
makes $740K 14 replies
The Obama Foundation is looking for 100 unpaid volunteers to work alongside the former president’s highly paid cronies at the $850 million Obama Presidential Center in Chicago when it opens in June.
Officials are pitching the no-paycheck gigs as rooted in former President Barack Obama’s legacy of civic engagement.
The recruitment campaign comes after Fox News Digital reported that the organization’s CEO, former top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, was paid $740,000 in 2024.
Foundation officials told Fox News Digital the volunteers will complement about 300 full- and part-time employees at the long-delayed center, which the organization is promoting as a $3.1 billion economic catalyst for the Windy City’s South Side.

The theft of the 2020, 2022 and 2024 elections has moved to the Grand Jury stage, probable cause established and records seized in Maricopa and Fulton Counties. Next up, Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee. All five should and may well lie under close Federal supervision on voting day during the 2026 midterms. (Snip)Thune has, grindingly, consented to refer the Save Act to a vote, possibly next week.
Thune is, like most elected Republicans, pretendian MAGA counting the days when he can go back to playing defence and lining his pockets. The fact that voter fraud has deprived the Republicans of a clear unbreakable majority for THREE election cycles is clearly beyond him.
Tucker Carlson has announced the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been monitoring his contacts with people within Iran and is potentially referring the issue to Dept of Justice (DOJ) officials for criminal review.
According to his previous self-admissions, Carlson was strongly against the Trump administration taking military action toward Iran and had travelled to the White House to express that opinion to President Trump. If the CIA was monitoring his contact with officials within Iran, this should NOT come as a surprise.
Given the nature of the conflict both before (during negotiations) and after the military hostilities began (operation epic fury), it would be negligent if the Intelligence Community was not

The Jihad-Adjacent Journalists

We’ve grown used to the media’s joining with the Democrats to attack every move by the President, but it is still something to watch the lies and distortions about the war in Iran where the press smears the troops in the middle of battle. Using the latest technology and working closely with the IDF and IAF, our military has achieved the most remarkable, unpredicted achievements in a matter of days. On the other hand, most major media coverage denigrates this accomplishment and regrettably advocates for our enemies.
State legislators recently pelted Greg Lucas, the leader of the California State Library, with questions about the funds during a budget hearing on education, the New York Post reported on Friday.The issue is connected to a foundation started by Parton called Imagination Library, which delivers free books to children. The program was set to be statewide in California in 2023, according to WJHL.
The outlet noted Parton created her library in 1995 to provide free books in her home county in east Tennessee.During the hearing, state Sen. Shannon Grove (R) told Lucas he did not have documentation to show where the money went.
