Jesse Jackson's son blasts Barack Obama and Joe Biden for politically charged eulogies

Jesse Jackson's son blasts Obama, Biden for using father's memorial to take shots at Trump

From comments to this post: "I definitely was no fan of Jesse Jackson, however, Jesse Jackson Jr. and others have every right to be infuriated and disgusted at how 3 former US Presidents and a Vice President strongly politicized the eulogy of this man's father. It disgusted me to hear them to be very honest. Democrats as a whole are way out of control these days. Republicans were kind of a problem 3 years ago, but now it's the Dems who have gone so far woke left that it literally makes me sick. Since 2008 I voted democrat, but I'm now completely done with them. Three months after Trump took office I became pleasantly surprised this time by him, and am even more so today more than ever before. Trump has been doing what this country desperately needs (except for food costs!), and he is doing what he was elected to do. Trump is a strong leader, and in this day and age we need that to face our adversaries around the world. Biden and Harris were and are a disaster."

Jury Convicts 9 Antifa Operatives in Texas Riot, Shooting at ICE Facility

Townhall

"Song faces a minimum penalty of 20 years and a maximum of life imprisonment. Arnold, Evetts, Morris, Rueda, Batten, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto each face a sentence ranging from a minimum of 10 years up to 60 years in federal prison. Sanchez Estrada faces up to 40 years in federal prison."

"Nine North Texas Antifa Cell operatives were convicted today by a federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas, for rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer and unarmed correctional officers at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center on July 4, 2025.

"In a 12-day trial that began on February 23, 2026, jurors heard testimony from more than 45 witnesses and considered over 210 exhibits supporting the charges against nine indicted defendants: Cameron Arnold, a/k/a Autunm Hill, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, a/k/a Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada.

"Seven others, Seth Sikes, Nathan Baumann, Joy Gibson, Susan Kent, Rebecca Morgan, Lynette Sharp, and John Thomas, pled guilty last year to one count of providing material support to terrorists.

"Testimony and other evidence at trial established that the defendants were members of a North Texas Antifa Cell, part of a larger militant enterprise made up of networks of individuals and small groups primarily ascribing to an ideology that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and the system of law.

"An expert testifying in the government’s case told the jury that Antifa’s coordinated efforts involve obstructing Federal law through organized riots, violent assaults, and armed confrontations with law enforcement officers, increasingly targeting agents and facilities related to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement in opposition to the agency’s deportation actions." . . .

Trump’s Iran War Strategy: Precision Strikes, Clear Objectives, and a Swift Return to Peace

"Trump’s Iran campaign follows the America First formula: crush the nuclear threat, keep U.S. troops out, finish the mission quickly, and end the war before it becomes another endless quagmire."

 American Greatness   

"Once these non-mine threats are adequately degraded and the strait is open to safe commercial transit, U.S. strategic goals—dismantling Iran’s missile arsenal, naval capabilities, nuclear pathways, and proxy threats—will have been decisively accomplished, clearing the way for a swift wind-down of major combat operations."

"President Donald Trump campaigned on ending endless wars, not starting them. Just over a year into his second term, he is delivering this on his terms. The U.S.–Israeli 2026 military campaign against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, which began following Iran’s reckless provocations in the wake of the 12-Day War, has already achieved its strategic goals. With only a small number of remaining nuclear facilities left to neutralize and the Strait of Hormuz on track to be fully secured within the coming weeks, the United States stands ready to proclaim mission accomplished and swiftly conclude major combat operations.

"This means no quagmire. No U.S. troops on the ground. No forever war. Just decisive action, goals met, and a return to peace on America’s terms. This is President Trump’s America First approach to U.S. national security in full effect: strength that deters, precision attacks that succeed, and the wisdom to know when the job is done.

"Let’s be clear about what the United States set out to do in Operation Epic Fury. The main objective is to eliminate Iran’s pathway to nuclear weapons. Other top objectives are preventing Iran from creating a “missile shield” to protect its nuclear weapons development, deterring future aggression against our allies, and restoring U.S. deterrence after years of weakness under the Biden administration.

"The military campaign is also designed to open a rare, historic window—one in which the Iranian people themselves can finally reclaim their nation from the grip of their repressive, radical Islamist regime. Should they succeed, the result would mark a huge gain for security and stability in the Middle East and around the world.

"The United States will stand firmly beside the Iranian people in their pursuit of liberty once the fighting ends. But the decisive step must come from within: the Iranian people themselves must rise up and overthrow the murderous government that has oppressed them for so long.

"The heavy lifting is already done. During the 2025 12-Day War and the 2026 war, U.S. and Israeli forces dismantled the heart of Iran’s program: the underground uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, the deeply buried enrichment facility at Fordow, key production buildings at Isfahan, a heavy-water reactor at Arak, a covert weapons-development compound at Minzadehei, and labs doing nuclear weapons research at the Lavisan 2 complex." . . .More

The Unbearable Lightness of Being Gavin Newsom

. . . "To call his comments vacuous is an insult to vacuums. The inside of a light bulb has more weight than what he sputtered to Friedland. Chances are, the ghost of Werner Heisenberg would have trouble locating even a particle of substance in the governor of California’s comments." 

. . . "Believe it or not, the fictional McKay and the non-fiction Kennedy were one-man think tanks compared to the metric ton of greenhouse gas that Newsom embodied while laboring to explain his aspirations if elected president.

Newsom appeared on the March 4, 2026, Adam Friedland Show, in part, to promote his new book, Young Man in a Hurry. Their conversation is worth quoting at length.

“Like, what is your defined political project?” Friedland asked one hour and five minutes into his podcast. “Like, throughout your career and right now, what is the thing you want to accomplish, like, politically?”

Newsom: “I don’t have, like, a brand. I don’t have a tag — ‘Make America Great,’ or the ‘Great Society,’ or something like ‘Medicare for All’ or, you know, ‘tax the billionaires.’

“But I, you know, for me — no b******t — it’s just standing up for ideals, striking out against injustice. That defines my ‘Why’ in every way, shape, or form. Stand up for ideals, strike out against injustice.

“I’m a Sargent Shriver Democrat. I’m into that whole ’60s, the vernacular of the ’60s, solving for ignorance and poverty and disease, and the spirit of the ’60s, and the spirit of King, and, you know, the non-violent movement, and Gandhi, and, you know, Havel, and, you know, Mandela — that whole set of moral authority, that whole space. That’s the Zeitgeist.

“And, so, that’s me. That’s my dad. That’s my mom. That’s the book, and that’s my ‘Why.’ And, so, standing up for ideals is what gay marriage was about. The work I’m doing right now — sort of push back. You know, we can lose this country. And just feeling like I have to be held to account and strike out against the injustices of the day.” . . .More

 RedState  "Israel has been relying in part on target information sent by ordinary Iranians for strikes carried out during the current war with Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

"The report said this was the case on Wednesday night, when an Israeli Hermes UAV struck Basij checkpoints in Tehran, citing a senior Israeli security official.

The official said Iranians on the ground have been transmitting information in Persian through Israeli social media accounts. According to the report, the information is first verified and vetted by Israeli authorities, and action is taken only after it is found to be accurate." . . .

   

                   

"I wrote earlier about how the new "Supreme Leader" of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the old leader, shouldn't be making any long-term plans. 

"Given the circumstances, both the U.S. and the Israelis have indicated that he's a legitimate target for a future strike. The U.S. and Israel have already taken out a ton of Iranian leaders, and they've decimated a lot of their military capacity.

"The Basij are the security force primarily engaged in the repression of the people. They've helped maintain the mullahs in power over the years. Imagine what it must be like after years of being oppressed, you can now call in a strike on the people who may have killed your friends and your family members.

Family goes after Soros-backed prosecutor for allowing illegal to murder their daughter…

Revolver  

"Repeat felon Robert Andrew Reed (DOB 10/29/1968) stabbed Marvin Waters at the Huntington metro station bus stop on June 10, 2025—less than a year after his release from federal prison for child sex abuse and kidnapping. Descano’s office is planning to DROP THE MURDER CHARGES because they “can’t prove it.'”

"There’s nothing a Democrat loves more than a career criminal.

"The left has been pushing the same dangerous idea for years now.They believe criminals deserve more sympathy than the people they victimize.

"You’ve seen it everywhere. Who can forget that insane Defund the Police movement, or the radical anti-ICE groups. And one of the worst pro-criminal programs is their bail “reform” laws that send violent offenders right back onto the streets just hours after they’re arrested. Left-wing prosecutors seem more interested in protecting criminals than protecting the communities they’re supposed to serve.

"And law-abiding Americans are the ones paying the price for this warped ideology… sometimes with their lives.

"Which is why, when the worst finally happens, and an innocent person is murdered after being repeatedly put in harm’s way by soft-on-crime policies, the people responsible never seem to face any real consequences.

"But that could be changing. One Virginia family says the prosecutor who repeatedly let their daughter’s (illegal alien) killer walk free should finally be held accountable.

"This latest case centers around Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano, a Soros-backed prosecutor who’s a tried and true “criminals first” guy.

"But it may finally come back to bite him, because the family of a murdered Virginia woman says his dangerous policies had deadly consequences." . . .  More

Talarico self-owns when he warns fascism will 'be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross'

Joseph MacKinnon   The radical Democrat's answer to American conservative Christianity is Christian-themed LGBT radicalism.

" 'Democracy is a Christian value, and Christian nationalism is a threat to democracy," added Talarico, fretting that some of the Christian Americans with whom he disagrees seek, in Jesus' name, to ban homosexual "marriage" and the slaying of unborn babies."

"Democracy is a Christian value, and Christian nationalism is a threat to democracy," added Talarico, fretting that some of the Christian Americans with whom he disagrees seek, in Jesus' name, to ban homosexual "marriage" and the slaying of unborn babies.

" 'James Talarico, the Democratic nominee hoping to succeed Republican John Cornyn in the U.S. Senate, routinely concern-mongers about traditional Christian views and their influence on American society.

"For instance, Talarico stressed during his recent interview with CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert the supposed need to confront "Christian nationalism" — a catchall term he and other radicals use to describe their ideological foes who also happen to be Christian in a nation almost entirely founded by Christians and where today over six in 10 adults are Christian.

"The hypocrisy of Talarico's criticism was highlighted in an excerpt of one of his sermons that resurfaced this week.

"Talarico — a part-time Presbyterian seminarian who has attempted to use scripture to justify abortion, protested the public display of the Ten Commandments, voted against sparing kids from sex-rejection mutilations, and claimed there are six sexes — discussed the separation of church and state during a sermon at his home church on June 30, 2024." . . .

Colleges Are Becoming Abortion Clinics  "The University of Oregon, which hosts 24,000 students on its Eugene, Oregon, campus, has announced that its student health services center will now abort students’ babies.

"Beginning this fall, students will be able to obtain mifepristone and misoprostol from the university’s health clinic. Students will then birth what is often a recognizable dead baby, presumably in their dorm rooms." . . .  

“A college dorm room is no place to have a do-it-yourself abortion,” said Roy, “and the American taxpayer should not be paying for the destruction of innocent human life on our college campuses.”

James ‘Six Genders’ Talarico Says White Guys Have ‘Greater Responsibility’ to ‘Love…Trans Kids’

   . . . "Let me just state right here and right now that people who “love trans kids” do not — as Talarico constantly does — advocate for queering, sexualizing, chemically sterilizing, and performing irreversible “gender affirming” mutilations on them.

"The bottom line is this: James Transarico is a full-blown monster deliberately perverting the Christian faith to obtain power. I’ve never seen anything like this guy. He’s a demon with a baby face."

 

Trump reportedly wants to seize Iran's Kharg Island. He floated the idea 40 years ago

 

"US President Donald Trump mulled over taking over Iran’s oil-export hub Kharg Island as a way to assert US power in the Gulf and punish the Islamic Republic. The idea came to him nearly 40 years ago.

"I’d be harsh on Iran. They’ve been beating us psychologically, making us look [like] a bunch of fools,” Trump told the Guardian in 1988.

"“One bullet shot at one of our men or ships, and I’d do a number on Kharg Island. I’d go in and take it,” he added.

"The interview is notable now as several news sites have reported US and Israeli discussions about seizing the island, where Iran exports around 90 percent of its crude.

"Axios reported that the US and Israel held discussions about seizing Kharg Island last week.

"The 1988 Guardian interview demonstrates that this idea is not new. In the interview, he also said that "It’d be good for the world to take them (Iran) on". 

"Trump’s comments then came against the backdrop of the Iran-Iraq War, a brutal conflict against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and the Islamic Republic, which saw around 500,000 people killed.

"In the late 1980s, the US Navy escorted vessels through the Strait of Hormuz and attacked Iranian oil installations and mines.

"Trump’s hostility to Iran can be traced back to the Guardian interview.

“Iran can’t even beat Iraq, yet they push the United States around. It’d be good for the world to take them on,” he said." . . .

Phyllis Chesler: My Take on the News of the Moment..."Don't Like Any of It"

 Phyllis Chesler 

 "Sixth: When will President Trump really understand that negotiations with radical, political Muslims and Jihadists can never, ever be trusted? I could say a lot more here but will stop for now. I welcome all your views on this particular matter."

"I'm on record about refusing to jump on the breaking news and jumping up and down with righteous indignation about it all. I know: It's a very retro position to have. So--here's what I'm thinking about our sad and sorry world.

"First: Isn't the endless rollout of the Epstein scandal and the ties he had to American universities truly a diversion, a deft way of failing to acknowledge that Arab oil money has spent many billions over a 50-year period to take over and take down American education? Why not at least mention that there is far more than one toxic influencer at work here?

"Second: What is this three-week non-stop coverage about Nancy Guthrie's disappearance really about? What dark and voyeuristic passion does such coverage feed? What I'm asking is this: While many thousands of non-violent Iranian protestors have been murdered on the streets and in their hospital beds; while the Taliban have legalized slavery (what can they possibly mean by this since all their women are already enslaved?); while many thousands of Ukrainians have been murdered in a four-year aggressive war launched by Czar Putin; while Israelis are being forced to permanently fight a non-stop war against barbarians (who still refuse to disarm, who are still storing their weapons in hospitals); while murderous and verbal attacks against Jews around the world continue to escalate--my God! And it's Nancy Guthrie 24/7. (Of course, may she soon be found unharmed and may the Iranian mullahcracy evaporate, etc.)

"Third: Europe--which is no more--has been Islamified, and there is no turning back and yet, Europeans still continue with their Jew hatred, now cleverly disguised as anti-Zionism. Oh yeah. Take the ongoing Olympics. The entire Israeli bobsled team, first time contenders, had their uniquely fitted gear, shoes, passport, and suitcases stolen as well as their money--but there's more. As the Israeli bobsled team stormed down the slope, the Olympics’ Swiss announcer kept talking about the Israeli "genocide in Gaza," etc. (The truth is I cannot forget the 1972 Olympics in Munich and the Muslim terrorist murder of Israeli champions and, for that matter, the 1936 Olympics in Berlin as we all saw, courtesy of that Monster propagandist--Leni Riefenstahl--the film Olympia).

"Fourth: Talking about the Swiss: When are they ever going to relinquish all their Nazi bank accounts, stolen from Jews during the Holocaust? They insist on the importance of protecting the privacy of their depositors just as hotly and righteously as the Free Speech fanatics in America, who go to great lengths to protect the right of hate speech but who do not fight for the rights of truth speech.

"Fifth: Why, oh, why was Bad Bunny's half time performance so widely praised? What am I missing? . . . More...

Putting an end to Iran’s 47 year war on the U.S.

Trump Stands Tall on Iran  "The place: The American Embassy in Tehran, Iran.

"On that day, in the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution that had overthrown the Shah, followers from the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam’s Line descended on the U.S. Embassy. Supported by the leader of the Revolution, one Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the students took 66 hostages from the Embassy staff, both diplomatic personnel and civilians. (RELATED: Reagan’s Shadow, Trump’s Moment)

"The flashpoint was the Jimmy Carter administration granting asylum to the cancer-ridden Shah of Iran for treatment in New York. The student revolutionaries held the American hostages for 444 days. At one point, Carter authorized a U.S. military rescue attempt. The mission failed dramatically.

"This was a presidential election year in the United States, and the hostage crisis became a daily issue in the campaign between President Carter and the GOP nominee, former California Governor Ronald Reagan. Without doubt, the ongoing crisis contributed to the hard-liner Reagan’s landslide 44-state victory over Carter.

"As if to humiliate Carter, negotiations for the release of the hostages finally succeeded on Jan. 19, 1981, the day before Carter was to leave office. Dramatically, with Reagan literally sworn in and giving his inaugural address on Jan. 20, the hostages were released to American authorities, then flown out of Iran first to Algeria and then to a U.S. airbase in Germany where now former President Carter had been sent by the new President Reagan to greet them and escort them first to Ireland (for refueling) and then on to the U.S. and the National Guard base in Newburgh, New York. Days later, after health check-ups and rest, the hostages were given a huge ticker tape parade in New York City." .. . .  . .

Why the strike on Iran was legal, overdue, and a strategic earthquake.

Now the Iranians have fired missiles at practically every other country in the region. So it isn’t just the Israelis and the Saudis who have had it with them.

No, There’s No ‘Forever War’ in Iran  

Trump’s stance on Iran long predates his presidency (and by extension, any relationship he had with Israel) and stretches as far back as the 1980s, following the Iranian hostage crisis.  Since becoming president, he has continued to oppose Iran’s nuclear ambitions, reimposed sanctions after withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal, and maintained pressure on the Iranians to agree to a denuclearization deal.  Throughout the early to mid-2010s, well before he even announced his candidacy, Trump’s Twitter feed was filled with posts articulating his consistent stance: that Iran must end its targeting of U.S. citizens, stop funding terrorism, and never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon.  All of these tweets (now on X) still exist today.
