After eight nights of pounding by American forces, Iran is reeling. They've managed a few counterattacks, most notably a missile and drone attack on Jordan that cost the lives of (we now know) three American service members. But the beating they are taking is all out of proportion to what they are dishing out. Now there's an indication that the biggest rats may be leaving this sinking ship. There are reports from an "Israeli security source," quoted in the Times of Israel, that the so-called Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may have left Iran, destination unknown.

There is an old saying about a ship of fools.A ship filled with dysfunctional people wearing clothing of fools, and it is used as a scene of political Governments. Surely Iran is a ship of fools, They had been chances to go straight, but their hatred for Israel and the United States overpowers all other thought. Iran is roughly the size of Alaska, one State in the United States, and the fools believe they can stand up to America----and Israel. They wanted a Nuclear bomb for no other reason than to use it. These fools do not c*are who they kill or who suffers. Their Islamic cult is a murderous cult filled with rabid humanoids.

If Mojtie is still alive, probably is a vegetable post-February 28th. The irgc generals may be on the same flight out.

FTA - "Or, the younger Khamenei may flee to Russia, where some regime figures were rumored to have fled some time ago. Vladimir Putin may well take him in just as a way of sticking his thumb in the eyes of Israel and the United States." Time will tell if Mojtie is alive or long since dead. Vlad, any comments?

As far as I am concerned, this Mojtaba Khamenei is the 'Schrödinger's Gayatollah', in reference to the science thought experiment described by Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. Is he alive or is he dead? It is indeterminate until seen and reported on by a TRUSTED observer. My thought is that -IF the reports are true that he was wounded but survived the air attack at the beginning of the conflict- he is likely holed up in an interior room deep in a large hospital where they can attend him, and there would be the largest amount of 'bad press' should the Americans or Israelis conduct an air attack on him. Reports that he skedaddled makes me wonder- how could he travel out of the country, risking an attack en route if the word 'got out' where and when he was going. It's fun to speculate, but there are so many lies flying around in so many directions, it's impossible for a regular person here in the States to know for sure what is going on. I trust President Trump, I believe he has the best interests of the USA at heart, and is willing to act accordingly.

Those in power in Japan were not going to surrender after the first atomic bomb was dropped. They knew that if America invaded millions would probably perish which did not appear to be a problem for them. It took two bombs to bring them to the table of surrender. It appears that Iran is ready to accept the complete destruction of Iran and her people. No doubt they have been told that they will go straight to heaven with the 72 virgins and honey. So they had best prepare to die for allah. Are those in charge even there.? With $$$ in their foreign accounts it is possible they have up and left. Or do they have bunkers so low in the ground that they are "safe" and do not care what is happening. I think the administration miscalculated Iran thinking they would fold after the first air strikes. They didn't and the other rounds have not brought them to the table. It makes me sick to say it but are ground troops going to be necessary? They do not care who they kill or how many even if it is their own people.

If he is alive, they claimed he was severely disabled, so he would have been easy to spot if he went on the run.

President Trump awarded Spain their medals and trophy on Sunday following the team’s stunning victory over Argentina at the World Cup tournament final. Trump joined FIFA president Giovanni Infantino on the field minutes after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 after a long and difficult game in which both teams struggled to score for long stretches. Take a look: Per tradition, the leader of the host country often awards the winning team its trophy and medals at the conclusion of the World Cup final. Trump did not officially state which team he hoped would be victorious, but he did express his appreciation for Argentina superstar Lionel Messi and Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Retired U.S. Navy Adm. James Stavridis on Sunday warned that the U.S. should watch Iran’s actions in the Suez Canal. “It’s got more traffic flowing through it than the Strait of Hormuz, and the Iranians are beginning to make noises about attempting to close that, using the Houthis in the southwest corner,” Stavridis told CNN’s Jake Tapper, referring to the Iranian-backed militant group in Yemen. Stavridis said Iran is “adaptive” in fighting the war with the U.S. and suggested that they are watching Ukraine’s actions “very closely.” “They’re watching what’s happening very closely in Ukraine, or they are kind of playing the part of the Ukrainians, using innovation

The new platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) got a lot of attention this week. The revision to the DSA platform, "Workers Deserve More," plans to abolish the Senate entirely and replace the president and Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary elected by and subordinate to Congress. They also want to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), defund the Department of War, end deportations, ease restrictions on immigration control for migration between countries, and "extend full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens."

Iran is finding out that the United States under President Trump doesn't mess around when U.S. servicemembers are killed by its reckless missile strikes. As RedState wrote earlier on Saturday: The U.S. Central Command, which oversees American military operations in the Middle East, has now revealed that two United States service members were killed and one remains missing following a missile and drone attack by Iran. The attack was targeted at the U.S. forces in Jordan. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reacted to the attack in an X post in an update, writing: Godspeed, heroes.

There’s not a whole lot of information yet, but a corpse was found Saturday at a Boston-area property owned by Conan Harris, husband to Squad Member Rep. Ayanna Pressley (MA-7). The couple does not live in the house but rents it out to tenants. Here’s what we know: Police spokesperson James Moccia told CBS News Boston officers were called to 25 Malta Street in Boston's Mattapan neighborhood at 1:52 p.m. "for a report to investigate a person." When they arrived, they found the person deceased, Moccia said. Moccia did not have any further details and said the homicide unit is handling the investigation.
Iranian State TV to Trump: ‘Live in Fear’ 6 replies

Iranian state TV, amid a series of threats from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei against the “Great Satan” America, has labeled Donald Trump the “'number one target of the Iranians.'” Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi is a host on Iranian state TV, and therefore acts as a mouthpiece of the terrorist regime's sentiments. Indeed, the Iranian parliament has a €50 million (about $57 million) price on Trump‘s head, besides a bounty on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Earlier this month, Tahmasebi commented on Trump's presence at the NATO summit, and expressed the official regime determination to assassinate the U.S. president. Unsurprisingly, the Iranian parliament is promoting the same goal:

Prominent House Democrats appeared befuddled when asked about the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) platform that seeks to destroy the American political system guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. That, from a report Saturday by Fox News. “I don’t support that,” Rep. Ro Khanna, (D-CA), said when asked about the new agenda. “I haven’t read the proposal.” The DSA platform includes eliminating the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court, measures which essentially would rewrite the U.S. Constitution and would end American governance as we know it.

On Saturday, the State Department issued a travel warning to Americans traveling abroad.

On one hand, we are winning the war with Iran. This week, bombings greatly accelerated and are not likely to end without real capitulation and surrender. On the other hand, the Vice President seems to be at odds with the administration, unhappy that we are in a (winning) war and casting blame for the failure of his peace effort, which is really only Iran’s fault. On one hand, the President has declassified documents credibly showing foreign influence and interference with our elections.

She became a leader of the ‘Women’s March’ movement but was ejected after they realized that she is a raging Jew-hater. It’s part of what led to the group’s downfall. With the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), she has returned. Her views make her a perfect fit for this radical mob.

The city’s massive $126 billion budget for the new fiscal year that began July 1 includes $3 million to retain the Health Department’s Community Syringe Redemption Program, which pays the public 20 cents per syringe.

In March of 2026 President Trump issued Executive Order 14399, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” directing the U.S. Postal Service to create a rule whereby any state that intends to send mail-in ballots to voters must provide a list of those eligible to participate in federal elections or the USPS “shall not transmit” those ballots. The obvious goal of the EO is to keep ballots from reaching people who are not eligible to vote. This predictably produced several lawsuits. On Friday, however, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay on the lower court injunction.

The Iranian government is said to be "furious." Good. This is a military target, no matter what Iran has to say about it. This is precisely the kind of target American forces should be razing to the ground. Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, in its outrage, is again dissembling; nothing this regime does is peaceful or has an entirely peaceful purpose.
