Here's What an Israeli Pilot Said to His American Counterpart Before a Bombing Run

 Matt Vespa


"The only people who will be upset with these communications are progressives, Democrats, pro-Hamas clowns, and some influencers on the Right who laughably see Jerusalem’s hand, or any Jewish hand, in anything the United States does abroad. It’s a tired trope, but here we are. Operation Epic Fury is raging. US-Israeli forces are picking apart this insane Iranian regime, and the radio chatter between an Israeli pilot and an American one before a bombing run was pretty cool. 

"Here’s one clip, showing an Israeli pilot thanking and offering encouragement to his American counterparts before a bombing run. 

“ 'It is a great honor for us to fight with you. You are doing a great job,” said the IDF pilot

“ 'Thank you very much—likewise, gentleman,” replied the US pilot. “Please be safe out there. Strike hard. See ya,” he added.  

"Operation Epic Fury has destroyed the Iranian Navy, decimated their ballistic missile stockpile and related infrastructure, and halted Tehran’s quest for nuclear weapons. We have air supremacy, and we killed the core of their political and military leadership. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." . . .

Social media propaganda and the campaign against America’s Iran policy.

The American Spectator

"If these memes only appeared occasionally, one could perhaps ignore them…. But their massive presence hints at something deeper, more malign, more frightening."

. . . "We know all this, and political analysts and policymakers have learned to discount polling results accordingly. But there is another and far more insidious thumb on the scale of public opinion, one that pretends objectivity while in fact propagandizing for the various leftist causes of the day. This takes the form of social media “questions” that pretend to be objective while hiding — and at the same time promoting — the leftist messaging of the day." . . .
"We know that China’s influence operations are well-developed. We’ve recently seen significant documentation, for example, of how American billionaire Neville Roy Singham, now an honored guest of Xi in Shanghai, has used his own funds to support anti-American influence operations. One suspects that these funds have been further subsidized by the Chinese government. And across the entire spectrum of leftist enterprises, one sees similar activity.
"We can’t know how many of the current anti-U.S., anti-Trump memes are funded directly or indirectly by China, but to suggest otherwise is to ignore a well-established pattern of political behavior. Counteracting these pervasive influence operations won’t be easy, particularly since they align so neatly with the Democrats’ domestic political interests.
"In a political environment shaped by “useful idiots” and the easily duped, a righteous effort to eliminate a decades-long threat from Iran can be easily undermined — we’ve seen this happen over and over again with past efforts. A successful and, hopefully, brief campaign in Iran will be the ultimate difference maker, but we can’t win the fight for American “hearts and minds” if we simply sit back and allow the lies to go unchallenged. Every present and future sacrifice by our troops will come to naught if the American people are seduced into turning their backs and walking away. More...

James Talarico Quietly Deletes Endorsement Page Showcasing His Most Radical Supporters

Joseph Chalfant 

 "TALARICO: "Our trans community needs abortion care too." This is the guy the Democrats think is going to flip Texas blue." Greg Price


"James Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the U.S. Senate race in Texas, has quietly removed the endorsement page from his campaign website. The page formerly featured a slew of endorsements from the most radical of Texas outlets and a wide-array of far-left organizations across the state.

"An archived version of Talarico’s site showed that he was proudly backed by groups like Houston LGBTQ+ Political Caucus, the 134 PAC, Stonewall Democrats, and Mothers Against Greg Abbott. The archive was taken on the date of the Democrat primary in Texas, but was suddenly removed once he advanced to the general.

"The groups who have backed Talarico have espoused a radical, pro-transgender agenda for children as young as seven-years-old, promote “drag queen story hours” for kids (which are subject to prosecution in Texas), and have pushed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies on Texans. Another group fighting for Talarico, the Stonewall Democrats, set out on an agenda of “holding candidates accountable” should they not toe the line of far-left transgender ideology.

"The Waco chapter of Indivisible has also backed Talarico, which has called ICE operations to remove dangerous criminals from American communities a “Terror Machine” and labeled the Minneapolis surge as an “invasion.” Mothers Against Greg Abbott called ICE agents “monsters” in an ad pushed by the organization and proudly sell merchandise in promotion of the campaign.

"Talarico will not be able to run from his radical past by obscuring who has helped him earn the nomination. Countless clips of the state representative have gone viral since winning the primary, showing just how steeped into the far-left ideology he is." . . .  More

‘Tone Deaf’ CNN Misrepresents ‘ISIS-Inspired’ Attempted Bombing of Protesters as Attack on NYC Mayor

The network issued corrections after critics exposed several statements that falsely framed the attack. 

"Libs of Tiktok said on X that CNN was “covering for ISIS terrorists who tried to bomb NYC” and that “CNN are enemies of our country.” Elon Musk added that “CNN needs a thorough house-cleaning.' ”  

CNN anchor Abby Phillip falsely claimed that a terrorist attack on anti-Muslim protesters was aimed at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a broadcast Tuesday night.

"Phillip later posted an apology on X, where she stated, “The bombs thrown in New York City … was [sic] thrown into a crowd of anti-Muslim protesters and not specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani. That wording was inaccurate and I didn’t catch it ahead of time. I apologize for the error.”

"This “error” follows CNN’s “tone deaf” statement made about the attempted bombing on X. “Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather,” the CNN post began.

"CNN deleted the original post and issued a correction. In a follow-up statement on X, the news outlet said the post “failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting.”

"Ana Navarro also alleged the attack was “an attempt against Mayor Mamdani” during the CNN broadcast. 

"Authorities said the two suspects in the attack, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, threw improvised explosive devices into a crowd of anti-Muslim protesters near Gracie Mansion on Saturday, March 7. Though neither IED detonated, they contained the highly volatile “Mother of Satan,” Triacetone Triperoxide. One of the suspects, Balat, shouted “Allahu Akbar!” as he threw one of the explosives at the protesters. 

" 'All praise is due to Allah lord of all worlds … I pledge my allegiance [sic] to the Islamic State. Die in your rage yu [sic] kuffar,” Balat wrote at the police station. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch stated, “Both suspects admitted that their actions on Saturday were because of ISIS” and Balat intended to “carry out an attack that was bigger than the 2013 bombing at the Boston Marathon.” . . .  More...
