Let this serve as a lesson to all: Don’t post on social media while intoxicated. The inevitable climbdown is, well … embarrassing. Yesterday, as David covered, former Russian president and now Deputy Chair of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev tweeted out an astonishing admission that Russia knew full well that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons....
I just got back from a four-day trip to Florida for a little time amusement park hopping. What did I miss? Well, Donald Trump, in the space of 36 hours, broke the following: Iran’s nuclear weapons program Ali Khamenei’s ability to be taken seriously Russia’s alliance with Iran The myth that Pete Hegseth can’t run...
Last week, two members of the group Palestine Action broke into the UK’s largest air force base and vandalized a couple of RAF jets with red paint. The pair were able to escape the base without notice but the group posted video of the attack online. BREAKING: Palestine Action break into RAF Brize Norton and...
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has not exactly been covering itself in glory lately. From not assisting federal immigration officers when they came under assault during enforcement raids. LA County Sheriff Robert Luna has been accused of having his deputies slow walk assistance to federal officers who were attacked during an immigration protest at...
As Ed wrote earlier today, there’s some level of confidence that the US strike on Fordow succeeded in destroying the underground lab where Iran was using centrifuges to enrich uranium. We won’t know for certain for a long time because at the moment no one can get to Fordow to inspect whether anything is left,...
God help them they hurt one hair on an American head. That’s all I can say. 🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Air defenses seen activated over Doha, Qatar, after Iran fired a barrage of missiles at it, likely targeting the al-Udeid base used by U.S. forces pic.twitter.com/exG9nVGR1d — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) June 23, 2025 Word is they’ve fired...
What does it say that a professor at Georgetown University–an Episcopalian, no less–is calling for Iran to strike US bases in the Middle East? Nothing good. And he is not alone. Other professors at American universities have expressed similar or worse sentiments. At first, it would seem an odd flex until you understand that it...
Have the Iranians already begun to ‘close’ the Strait of Hormuz? New reports from China — and an apparent sotto voce warning from Beijing to Tehran — suggest that the IRGC may have already deployed their opening salvo to render the strait impassable. According to the Wall Street Journal, several commercial ships had to turn...
A year ago, the regime in Tehran had the Biden administration cowed into suppressing Israeli action against the country. Iran has told the United States that it will attack Israel directly unless the Biden administration secures a ceasefire in Gaza, according to an Arab diplomatic source who spoke with Jadeh Iran. The ultimatum follows an...
Did the B-2 bomber strikes on Fordow accomplish its intended mission — to shut down the nuclear-weapons development site? Some wondered at just how much damage the strikes caused after the US released before-and-after aerial photos of the redoubt. Apart from six neatly spaced holes in the ground, very little surface disruption could be seen,...
Ranked choice voting makes predicting even not-so-close races difficult sometimes, and when the poll numbers are close, all bets are off. Well, not all bets. Polymarket is doing a brisk business, and the gamblers there think Zohran Mamdani is likely to win the Democratic Party primary that ends tomorrow. BREAKING: Mamdani surges as clear favorite...
And we have some lovely dachas on the trendy part of Moscow, tovarisch. Iran’s foreign minister flew to Moscow yesterday, ostensibly to get Russia to engage as a counterweight in its 46-year war against the US and Israel. Instead, Abbas Araghchi got plenty of sympathy from Vladimir Putin … and not much else. Putin has...
The whole “Trump Always Chickens Out” meme was always stupid and self-contradictory. The Democrats tried to make it a thing because, well, the Left can’t meme. They overthink things. They are into Narrative™. Their spin is always so transparent. And, in the case of the TACO meme, it contradicted their basic argument that Trump is...
The House-passed “big, beautiful” tax bill is a tremendous achievement and a giant sparkplug for growth. The bill extends all the Trump tax cuts of 2017, thus heading off a $4 trillion tax INCREASE next year. It expands health savings accounts, includes expensing of major capital and research expenditures by businesses,...
Dmitri Medvedev, former President of Russia and current Deputy Chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation dropped a bombshell. Without specifying who, he asserts that “a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.” 2. The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it...
