Iran is.
President Donald Trump is the best leader of the United States that Israel has ever had. He vastly outstrips Former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who smiled while they worked a knife into the back of the Jewish state. Dwight D. Eisenhower was even worse, far worse. He bullied the Israeli military into returning […]
When Iran struck Israel on Sunday, President Donald Trump demanded that the Jewish nation stop firing back. But when Tehran struck a U.S. military helicopter the next day, it was “bombs away” against the Islamic Republic. You can call it strategic, but I call it hypocrisy. First of all, those who claim Trump is Israel’s […]
After reading the umpteenth article [example here] from congressional voices talking about what President Trump needs to do in order for the legislative branch to reauthorize FISA (702), it’s worth reminding everyone how we accept goofy just because goofy has become the norm. The FISA (702) issue belongs entirely to the legislative branch. It is […] The post FISA (702) is NOT President Trump’s Problem to Solve appeared first on The Last Refuge.
'You think there's a bunch of Islamic groups that are pro-LGBTQ? Is that the position of the SPLC?'
Trump also accused Iran in the phone call of "tapping the United States alone when it comes to the negotiating process."
Republicans' $70 billion Secure America Act cleared the House, funding ICE and Border Patrol through 2029 despite unanimous Democratic opposition.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham is getting bummed with President Donald Trump’s mixed messaging and embarrassing fabrications, especially when they keep producing cringe moments in U.S. invasion of Iran, reports Mediaite.Specifically, Ingraham was aggravated that Iranians were still able to strike U.S. targets when their military was allegedly destroyed, as Trump and his cohorts keep claiming. Ingraham was speaking with former State Department official Nathan Sales about the U.S. strikes against Iran on Tuesday in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter by an Iranian drone — after Trump vowed to respond to the Iranian attack earlier on Tuesday.But the reason for the U.S. response was really the root of Ingraham’s ire.“We keep hearing their military is destroyed,” Ingraham told Sales. “But if their military is destroyed, how are they continuing to hit us? I mean, an Apache helicopter costs about, what, about $46 million?”Mediaite reports the attack on the helicopter came as a bit of a surprise to Fox because of Trump’s conflicting remarks and” the 38 times the president has claimed that the two sides were close to reaching a deal.”Also surprised, apparently, was Ingraham.“One thing that a lot of Americans can’t really wrap their heads about here is we keep hearing that they’ve been destroyed, decimated. The word is often used ungrammatically, but nevertheless … we hear that, and we know there’s extensive damage. Yet these drones are lethal, and they’re easy to make. They’re fairly cheap, and obviously did some damage to us last night over Oman. How can we guard against that? How can we protect against that, given the stakes here, again back home, and over there?”Sales insisted “the Iranian military threat has been substantially degraded,” but “it hasn’t gone down to zero.”For Ingraham, that wasn’t good enough.“Why have we left any military structure there? … [W]e seem to have hit a number of base points tonight and are still, perhaps. We knew where those were. Why did we leave any of them standing? If we wanted to just really get this done, why are they still standing at all?” Ingraham demanded.The explosion came a handful of weeks after musician Kid Rock scored a ride at Fort Belvoir in the same kind of Apache Helicopters when Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gave him a trip. Kid Rock’s trip came after an earlier controversial flyover at the artist’s Nashville home prompted the Army to suspend the aircrew involved in the stunt. Hegseth swiftly reversed the suspensions.
President Donald Trump was booed by the crowd at Madison Square Garden during the National Anthem at Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. As the anthem played, ABC cameras captured the President saluting in his suit. The crowd reacted loudly; this marked the only time Trump appeared on screen during the introduction. A crowd outside the arena also booed his motorcade upon arrival.Trump attended the Knicks' first home game with son-in-law Jared Kushner and administration officials, including Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and EPA head Lee Zeldin. Trump's attendance disrupted the fan experience significantly: the official watch party was relocated to Bryant Park to accommodate additional security measures, and attendees were required to arrive several hours before tip-off due to heightened security protocols.Watch the video below.
