The BBC reports Iranian strikes on US military bases are worse than Trump admitted

According to satellite imagery and video analysis, Iran has attacked at least 20 American military facilities across the Middle East, with some experts estimating as many as 28 bases targeted. The report by BBC Verify significantly exceeds public U.S. acknowledgment of the attacks. Strikes have hit key installations across eight countries: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Bahrain, and Oman, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Notable losses include three THAAD anti-missile batteries, each costing approximately $1 billion, and forming a complex regional defense network that cannot be quickly replaced. At Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia alone, 42 aircraft have been destroyed or damaged since February, including F-15s, F-35s, Reaper drones, and an A-10 attack plane worth up to $700 million. Iran's tactics evolved from mass missile barrages to precise strikes targeting high-value assets. The Pentagon declined to dispute the BBC's findings, while the U.S. requested satellite imagery restrictions on the region.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

Trump asleep at the wheel after Russia bombs NATO allies: analysis

Russia is now bombing NATO countries, and it appears that President Donald Trump is asleep at the wheel. Writing on Monday, MS NOW producer Steve Benen sounded the alarm about an incoming disaster visible on the horizon. A Wall Street Journal report last week quoted several world leaders in Europe as saying that they fear Russian President Vladimir Putin is about to go beyond Ukraine and look at the countries he can go to war with next in an effort to grow the former Soviet Union back to its original borders. "Russian drones have repeatedly crashed without causing casualties along the Danube River border between Romania and Ukraine since 2023. But the drone crash on Friday, on the roof of a residential compound in the port city, Galati, sharply escalated tensions between NATO and Moscow," The New York Times reported.On Friday, a Russian drone hit an apartment building. The incident was condemned by world leaders, and even Trump's ally and NATO ambassador, Matthew Whitaker, reaffirmed the U.S.'s commitment to NATO, promising that the U.S. was ready to defend Europe. Trump, by contrast, has remained silent. It's unusual, Benen said, because he loves to beat his chest and project strength. Hitting a building in Romania isn't merely a one-off. Benen explained that it is a pattern with Russia. Last fall, Russian drones entered Polish airspace. NATO pilots shot them down. Then, Russian pilots violated Estonian airspace.Benen added that none of these "tests" happened under non-Trump administrations. It makes Trump's "weakness toward Vladimir Putin ... especially humiliating," he wrote. The GOP has similarly been quiet. "In recent weeks, the Republican president has repeatedly criticized NATO as a 'paper tiger' because its members chose not to participate in his misguided war with Iran, but he has offered no comparable criticisms of Russia for incidents inside NATO member nations," Benen closed.

Top Trump DOJ revenge case hits major snag after crucial ruling in unrelated case

Top Trump DOJ revenge case hits major snag after crucial ruling in unrelated case

The Trump Justice Department's criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey got a worrisome sign on Monday — and it wasn't a development in that case itself, but one in an unrelated case involving the National Park Service.According to Politico, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss has issued a two-week restraining order prohibiting the park service from doing anything to interfere with a protest by the liberal group Accountability Now USA, which has for months been protesting President Donald Trump outside a federal courthouse near the National Mall — by flying a huge banner that says "86-47," with "47" being a reference to Trump and "86" a common slang term for getting rid of something.The group has been harassed by the Secret Service, and more recently, a National Park Service official issued an email ordering the group to remove it as it is "obscenity" not protected by the First Amendment. This is in line with a number of Trump officials and allies who have claimed "86-47" is a call for violence against the president."Moss, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, disagreed in his ruling.“The Court does not doubt that political violence is on the rise and that it poses a grave threat not just to the targets of the threats but to the country as a whole," wrote Moss. "But the enormity of that problem does not change the meaning of Plaintiff’s speech, which by any reasonable measure merely advocated for the President’s impeachment and removal from office — that is, ‘to throw [him] out.’”This could have grave implications for the administration's separate efforts to prosecute Comey, who was charged with violent threats for a social media post from last year depicting seashells arranged to spell out "8647." Comey deleted the post and apologized, but has made clear he was never advocating violence.All of this comes as the DOJ quietly reassigned a prosecutor in charge of the Comey case.

'Violent agitator' savagely bit ICE agent during riots in New Jersey, says DHS

A savage attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has led to the arrest of a "violent agitator" as described by the Dept. of Homeland Security. Photos posted by DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin showed the bleeding bite mark left on the forearm of the agent, who was allegedly attacked during rioting at an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. 'Anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' "Last night, a violent rioter savagely kicked and bit ICE law enforcement officers outside of Delaney Hall. Today, this violent agitator is being charged," wrote Mullin on social media Friday. Anti-ICE protesters claim that detainees at the ICE facility at Delaney Hall are being held under improper conditions and that some are responding with a hunger strike. Mullin has denied the allegations and claimed that the hunger strike is actually based on demands from detainees that they be fed food from their respective ethnic origins. "There was only a handful of individuals that was refusing to eat because they want their ethnic right food," he said from the White House. "Well, they can go back to their country and get whatever food they want. ... This isn't Holiday Inn."A statement from the DHS indicated that five of the six arrested on Friday in relation to the anti-ICE violence were alleged agitators from outside New Jersey. The agency cited this as evidence that the demonstrations were a "coordinated campaign of violence" against federal agents. "Our ICE law enforcement officers are facing an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,300% increase in assaults against them," the agency added. "This violence against law enforcement must end." In another incident from the Delaney Hall center, an agitator was recorded on video Wednesday screaming that he would kill the wife and children of an ICE agent. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said agents were actively seeking to identify and arrest the man for the alleged death threat against a federal agent.

Markwayne Mullin X post There are about 300 detainees being held at the privately run Newark ICE facility that holds about 1,000 beds. The detainees also have access to digital tablets with online connection. "The Trump Administration will ALWAYS stand with our federal law enforcement officers," Mullin added. "Anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."Like Blaze News?

Election Denier Tina Peters Asks Trump for a Job After She Walks Free

Tina Peters—the Trump-supporting, election-denying former Colorado county election clerk found guilty of tampering with voting machines—is now free.Peters was freed from prison on Monday after Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polis granted her clemency and reduced her sentence just weeks earlier. Peters was originally sentenced to nine years in prison for conspiring to publicize the voting machine records in Mesa County, turning all the cameras off while allowing fellow election denier Conan Hayes to copy, photograph, and download information in an effort to prove President Trump’s absurd claims of election fraud in 2020. Polis’s decision to cut short her sentence angered his local party, even leading them to censure him. Now, he claims that he “concluded that her sentence was simply too long.” After the backlash, he appeared on a party Zoom call with black tape over his mouth. His fellow Colorado Democrats weren’t amused then, and certainly aren’t now. “The Governor’s grant of clemency to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a statement. “It sends a dangerous message about accountability for those who would attack elections. Peters’ release also will embolden the election denial movement; since the grant of clemency, she has continued to spread election falsehoods and conspiracies.”Peters has become something of a political prisoner for those on the MAGA right, especially those in the deepest depths of QAnon. Trump had been pressuring Polis to release Peters for months, and Vice President JD Vance recently suggested that Peters should get a taxpayer-funded payout from Trump’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund” for those who felt wronged or targeted by the Biden administration. Meanwhile, the first thing Peters did upon her release on Monday was go on Steve Bannon’s podcast, double down on her claims of election fraud, and ask Trump for a job.

Analysis reveals why MAGA chooses to buy Trump’s 'perfect' health lie

Salon columnist Amanda Marcotte argued in her Monday column that Donald Trump’s supporters are buying an obvious health fantasy because MAGA politics function less like a normal movement and more like a cult built around a swaggering strongman. The Wall Street Journal reported late Sunday that Trump's medical records lack the specific information that physicians say they would expect from a thorough physical. In Marcotte's telling, the reason MAGA believes Trump's every claim is that it is a cult. After his physical, Trump cheered that "everything checked out perfectly.""This is almost certainly a lie, though how big of one remains to be seen. People in perfect health don’t have swollen and bruised hands or the water balloon-sized ankles Trump sometimes sports," wrote Marcotte. She noted that even Trump's staffers have exposed his health issues. They attribute any problems to Trump's chronic venous insufficiency, which Trump was diagnosed with after his legs started swelling up."There is zero reason to trust Trump or his staff; they lie constantly about nearly everything," said Marcotte. "This includes false explanations about the president’s health, because the White House keeps insisting he’s merely blinking in photos with his eyes closed, when anyone who watches the videos can see his eyes are shut for long stints of time, and not just milliseconds."She noted that normal people with good health don't have the medical problems that Trump appears to have, like the rash on his neck, the swelling in his legs and the bruising on his hands. Overnight, Trump was posing on social media again, prompting questions about whether he's having insomnia problems.But, she said that as a "life-long con artist," Trump is great at playing the "Daddy-like figure," as his supporters are desperate to satisfy the "childish impulse" to believe that he will always save them. "Trump’s political success is due almost entirely to his understanding of this, along with a willingness to lean more fully into the role of cult leader beyond what even [Ronald] Reagan or [George W.] Bush were capable of," wrote Marcotte.Marcotte closed by acknowledging that past presidents had huge egos, but Trump's level of narcissism and ignorance of history "allows him to half-convince himself that he’s a great man. This is certainly why he picked the GOP over the Democratic Party when he decided to run for office. A lifelong con artist, Trump saw that the Republican Party was a sea of marks who would offer themselves up for exploitation forever, as long as he was willing to pretend to be the almighty prophet-leader they craved."
