Bombed Iran

Plus: 3 Americans killed in retaliation, former President Bill Clinton testifies about Jeffrey Epstein, and more...

Ayatollah Khamenei is dead. Airstrikes have killed the 86-year-old supreme leader of Iran, prompting a wide range of reactions both internationally and at home.

No friend of freedom should weep for Khamenei, a wicked dictator whose 37-year reign was marked by brutal crackdowns on dissenters, the fostering of Islamic extremism as the dominant form of government in the country, and stubborn conflict with America and its allies. This was an evil man, and the people of Iran would be better off with better leadership.

But that does not mean Khamenei will be succeeded by better leadership. The CIA's assessment was that an equally rapacious figure would be likely to replace the ayatollah. One may hope that the people of Iran will rise up, overthrow the regime, and install a freer system. But if the previous 25 years of U.S. involvement in the Middle East are any lesson, American dreams of seeding democracy in the region often come up short.

Perhaps intervention-skeptical Americans—a significant faction of MAGA among them—would be reassured if they knew that President Donald Trump had a plan. Unfortunately, the president has offered very little justification for these strikes and has said practically nothing about what he expects to happen. War-weary voters drawn to Trump by his promise of "no new wars" and his rhetorical break from the Bush-era GOP's neoconservatism must be feeling whiplash. Overthrowing Khamenei was a goal of Republicans like Dick Cheney, John McCain, and John Bolton—figures who Trump clashed with, insulted, and eventually marginalized. Yet now Trump is channeling Cheney like Luke Skywalker communing with Obi-Wan Kenobi's ghost as he blows up the Death Star. Trump hated McCain, but it was McCain who was known for singing "Bomb Iran" to the tune of "Barbara Ann."

Trump did not bother to consult Congress over this attack, and few people in the legislature seem to care. Reps. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D–Calif.) continue to be virtually alone in even attempting to demand that their branch of government have a say.

Given all this, it shouldn't surprising that even some dedicated defenders of Trump are manifesting mixed feelings about the attack. The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh, ordinarily a reliable backer of the president, warned MAGA to withhold its knee-jerk acquiescence to another regime-change war:

If you're a proponent of this war, so be it. Make your case. But lecturing skeptics for not "trusting Trump" is the dumbest argument you could possibly make. It is perfectly reasonable for American to be skeptical of regime change wars in the Middle East. Trump himself was…

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) March 1, 2026

Appearing on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, Erik Prince expressed similar reservations. Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene—onetime allies of Trump who have broken with him over foreign policy and other issues—also sounded alarm bells.

It's also impossible to avoid the conclusion that many conservative figures who have sided with Trump on this would have slammed a Democrat for taking similar actions. Trump has surrounded himself with political figures who routinely castigated foreign interventionism in the Middle East and elsewhere: Vice President J.D. Vance, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and others. Trump himself once complained that then–President Barack Obama would attack Iran out of desperation. Look like that's a bipartisan temptation.

Three U.S. troops have already been killed in retaliatory attacks by Iran. The soldiers had been deployed to Kuwait. The government did not immediately release additional details about their deaths, but Trump said in a statement that he had anticipated attacks on American service personnel abroad.

"And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends," said Trump. "That's the way it is. Likely be more, but we'll do everything possible where that won't be the case."

[Fist of Etiquette]

Trump did not bother to consult Congress over this attack...

Lacking any incentive to do so.

[mad.casual]

What are they gonna do? Take away his budget?

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

It isnt even a correct assertion. There is evidence Vance met with the gang of 8 the morning of the attacks and the WPA requires congressional notice within the first 48 hours after the attack.

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

A gang of 8 doesn't have a quorum. And is no substitute for Congressional approval.

[mad.casual]

You're getting pretty "pedantic" in a "MUH DEW PROCESS!" fashion here.

It requires [quote]notification[/unquote], not obtain approval from a quorum or inform no less than two thirds or whatever.

If he'd gone to an empty chamber on Capitol Hill and said, "It's happening!" you might have a case that Congress was not informed. If you had evidence that he said to the 'gang of 8' that they were to tell no one else, maybe you've got a point, but the WPA specifically says "notification" and "within 48 hours" with the explicit intent of them reeling things in within 60 days after the fact.

Moreover, it's not like going to Congress well ahead of time with a vial of anthrax is much better.

You're wishing the WPA said something different than what it actually says.

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 is not pedantic. Congress, not the president, soley has the power to authorize war (including AUMF). I believe in a strong Republic.

Your wishing the Constitution doesn't say what it says.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Congress passed the WPA overriding Nixon's veto. Informing the gang of 8 has been sufficient notification ever since. These protocols were created by Congress and have not been particularly controversial when used by Democrat presidents. Who exactly has standing to challenge the WPA? The Congress that wrote it into law?

[mad.casual]

Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 is not pedantic.

You're turning into a dishonest shitheel like Tony or sarcasmic. I didn't say Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 is pedantic. I said your interpretation is.

The Clause says Congress has the power but in no way stipulates how. It doesn't say 8 isn't enough. The WPR resolution reduces some of it to law and practice and the Administration was more compliant than several other administrations that preceded them in going back over the 50 yrs.

You're definitively getting more of what you wanted or preferred and you're still crying about it. Like Tony or sarcasmic or Jacob Sullum you're making it clear that you aren't a serious libertarian, you just want your pony.

[Neutral not Neutered]

No you believe in a strong Marxist Utopia and will never fucking get it, thankfully.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

Trying to educate people on statutory and constitutional requirements has become tiring. Here is turley laying out what is required, but sogn wont read it.

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/jonathan-turley-trump-strikes-iran-precedent-history-his-side

It is one thing to argue against a policy, law or precedence, but to argue as if a policy or precedence doesnt exist just shows a lack of care for one's argument.

[Social Justice is neither]

No, it shows them to be a dishonest person not interested in reality.

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

Nope. I just think the president shouldn't be starting wars the peoples' representatives didn't authorize. My stance has been consistent across multiple admins.

[Neutral not Neutered]

The law is what is important regardless of what you think or especially how you feel about it.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

I just dont understand the viewpoint that in a republican nation a single individual declares what is constitutional or not, especially given the vagueness of certain clauses.

I further dont understand railing against precedence that goes back to the founders.

We have congressional notes and federalist papers discussing the split of military use between article 1 and article 2. We have instances of early article 2 use of military not declared a war.

But some want to argue from both ignorance and under the belief that their ignorant viewpoint is the only viewpoint.

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

I'm against the WPA, I'm against the idea Congress can delegate its Constitutional powers to the president except in limited and specific laws which sunset. Why you don't understand that, which I've stated multipletimes. And yes, I did read the linked article.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Then your gripe is with Congress not Trump.

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

My gripe is with both.

[Medulla Oblongata]

But you're arguing as if the War Powers Act does not exist ("A gang of 8 doesn't have a quorum. And is no substitute for Congressional approval.") rather than saying the truth that under the WPA the president did what was required vis Congress and then arguing that perhaps the WPA--even though it was followed legally--itself is unconstitutional.

A position that was never challenged when Carter, Reagan, Obama, Bushes, Biden each used it, sometimes several times. Not to mention that Carter, at least, made concerted efforts to mischaracterize actions so that WPA was "not applicable".

[Sevo, 5-30-24, embarrassment]

He's a TDS-addled steaming pile of lying shit, so you can expect whining any time Trump is involved.

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

Obama's war against Libya and Syria were also unconstitutional.

So I guess I'm also a racist too. Oh no, some presidential sycophant is calling me names because they can't stand criticism of their guy, whatever shall I do.

[Neutral not Neutered]

What threat was Libya to the world or the USA?

Were they killing their own people whom protested against their regimes actions by the 10's of 1000's?

Were they destabilizing the region with terror?

Obama nonsensically joined France when France discovered Libya had sold resources to China that it wanted for itself. Disgusting action.

Not in the least bit similar to removing the greatest terror threat on earth.

Syria. What war against Syria was waged by the USA?

That situation turned quickly from Syria opening to the West into a proxy war against Russia as Putin took Assad by the throat and forced him to cancel the pipeline agreements made for NG to be piped through Syria.

Putin tried to take control of all of Europe's energy with his control of Assad and ending the agreements for NG from Egypt and Qatar to be piped through Syria and Turkey into Europe.

Again no similarity at all. The whole time Iran was pushing attacks on America troops, bases and allies in the region through it's proxies and killed innocent people of many nationalities and religions including Muslims.

[Medulla Oblongata]

War Powers act doesn't say anything about getting approval first, just notifying congress, which was apparently done.

[Super Scary]

I'm still waiting for a district judge to rule on how I should feel about this whole thing.

[Fist of Etiquette]

This was an evil man, and the people of Iran would be better off with better leadership.

Duke professor uses whiteness-based 'necropolitics' to lobby for gun control

Given the department in which she works and (according to her faculty page) her specializations in feminist science and technology studies, Catherine Clune-Taylor’s advocacy for the topic includes a lot of polysyllablic and critical theory-created terms which may cause an unneeded consternation in comprehension.

This isn’t a surprise considering that as a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton, Clune-Taylor taught the course “Science After Feminism” which “investigated how feminism” challenges the notion that science “is commonly held to be the objective, empirical pursuit of natural facts.”

In her Wellesley lecture “The Necropolitics of American Childhood: Whiteness and the Biopolitical Paradox of Child Gun Death,” Clune-Taylor noted how the French-based concepts “biopolitics” and “necropolitics” relate to American gun violence, The Wellesley News reports.

"With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor, and he was known to be fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo’s 'Les Misérables.' ... Some Iranians who knew Ayatollah Khamenei before he became supreme leader described him as a 'closet moderate'' ...

With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public

Thanks, Grok:

'Twas the night of Feb. 28th, when all through Tehran,
Not a protestor was marching, not even a plan;
The banners were furled by the faithful with care,
In hopes that the Supreme Leader soon would appear.

The guards were all drowsy, their rifles laid low,
While visions of power kept sleep nice and slow;
And Khamenei in his robes, with his beard long and white,
Had just settled his frame for a long, peaceful night.

When out on the rooftop there rose such a roar,
He sprang from his chair to the window once more;
Away to the balcony he flew in a dash,
Threw open the doors with a furious flash.

The stars o'er the city shone cold and severe,
When what to his wondering eyes did appear,
But a streak from the heavens, a missile so bright,
Bearing down with a vengeance, precise in its flight.

With American steel and a guidance so true,
He knew in an instant the end had come through;
More swift than the falcon, more fierce than the gale,
It came without warning, without fail.

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the palace the warhead it sped,
And the Ayatollah was lifted like down from his bed.

And then, in a flash, with a thunderous sound,
The roof and the walls came tumbling down;
As he turned in alarm, with his hands to his face,
The blast caught him squarely, erasing his place.

It was wrapped all in fire, from its nose to its tail,
And its fury was dressed in a shimmering veil;
A bundle of fury flung high in the air,
And the Supreme Leader floated, weightless and bare.

His eyes—how they widened! His mouth opened wide!
His cheeks were like ashes, his terror untried!
His droll little beard was singed black in a puff,
And the shockwave around him was more than enough.

The stump of a prayer died quick on his lips,
As smoke encircled his head like eclipse;
He was chubby and proud, a right haughty old man,
But he shook like a leaf in the palm of a hand.

He spoke not a word, but was swept in the gale,
Blown high o'er the city, beyond hill and dale;
And laying his turban aside with a twist,
Up, up like a thistle he rose in the mist.

He sprang to the heavens, to the dark gave a flight,
And away he was carried like down of the night;
But I heard him exclaim, ere he vanished from sight—
“Curse you, America! This isn't polite!”

Happy Feb. 28th to the free world, and to all a good night!

GUILTY: A Los Angeles federal jury just returned guilty verdicts against two defendants for stalking an ICE deportation officer.

Cynthia Raygoza, 38, of Riverside, and Ashleigh Brown, 38, of Aurora, Colorado, were found guilty today of stalking.

On August 28, 2025, Raygoza and Brown followed the victim from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his home.

The defendants livestreamed their pursuit on their Instagram accounts, provided directions as they followed the victim home, and encouraged viewers to share the livestream.

Upon arriving at the victim’s residence, the defendants shouted to bystanders while livestreaming that their “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.” They also shouted racial slurs at the victim’s wife. The victim’s children witnessed the incident.

Raygoza and Brown each face up to five years in federal prison at their June 8 sentencing hearing.

We thank the jury for bringing justice to these agitators who violated the law and endangered the safety of this federal officer and his family.

Peaceful protests are protected by the Constitution, political violence and unlawful intimidation are not.

Biden began by ridiculing the length of Trump's State of the Union speech, which probably wasn't the wisest idea, inasmuch as reminding people about the current president's stamina and the former president's lack of it is not exactly going to endear him to anyone..."

Biden said move the funds, spend it, do not let Trump or the GOP get ahold of it. And the swamp, should be considered illegally, moved the funds to where they could end up back in their pockets. Their friendly NGO's whom have been defrauding the American people for decades...

"Opinion: Newsom’s ‘play dumb’ routine is not new — in fact, it has a clinical name"
[...]
"In 2019, social psychologists Cydney Dupree of Yale and Susan Fiske of Princeton published a peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology with a striking conclusion: White liberals systematically present themselves as less competent when speaking to Black audiences than when speaking to white ones.
They called it “competence downshift.”
Analyzing 25 years of presidential campaign speeches — 74 speeches delivered to mostly white or mostly minority audiences — they found that Democratic candidates consistently used fewer words associated with intelligence, ability, and status when addressing Black crowds. Republican candidates showed no such pattern. The difference was not random. It was consistent, measurable, and unique to white liberals..."

Bit of a surprise. Multiple instances of getting guilty pleas, but previously every charge that went to trial was acquitted by the local juries.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/two-women-convicted-of-stalking-ice-agents-during-protests-in-la/ar-AA1XhuBT

Two women have been convicted of stalking an ICE agent in Los Angeles following last summer’s protests in the city.

Cynthia Raygoza, 38, and Ashleigh Brown, 38, were found guilty Friday following the incident that took place amid anti-immigration enforcement protests in August.

According to Essayli they also shouted racial slurs at the agent’s wife and his children had witnessed the incident.

Essayli and federal prosecutors in LA have filed more than 100 cases against protesters over the assault and hindrance of immigration agents. Despite securing 23 guilty pleas, until Friday, they had so far lost every case taken to trial.

Joe Biden lies. Well, he is truthy, but implying other lies.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/joe-biden-border-crossings-were-lower-economy-better-when-i-was-in-office/ar-AA1XghWZ

“The day I left office, border crossings in the United States were lower than the day that I entered an office inherited from Trump. He is — I won't say it. That's just a fact.”

During Biden's first month in office, there were a little over 78,000 border encounters with those entering illegally, according to Customs and Border Protection statistics. In Biden's final month -- when Trump took office -- there were over 61,000.

The first full month that Trump took office? A bit over 11,000. It's hovered around there for the entirety of the Trump administration, and there are far more deportations.

Meanwhile, under all available estimates, there were likely well over 10 million illegals who entered under Joe Biden's watch, a record number, compared with net outflow under Trump. But hey, if you compare two months, it doesn't look so bad, right?

[Medulla Oblongata]

Yeah, we know this already. We also know that they HAD a path to citizenship, which they chose to bypass in favor of going the whole illegal route. Too many people in line in front of them, too many hoops, fuck it let's just sneak in the side door and demand our seat.

https://x.com/america/status/2027379548547924294

Chuck Schumer is demanding an immigration bill that includes “a path to citizenship for 11 million people who are here”.

They’re trying to legalize an illegally imported new voter base.

This has been their plan all along.

Skin color is the most important thing.

Chief among these notorious fails are Democrat politicians’ claims that black people are too stupid or ignorant to obtain or possess identification papers, proof of citizenship, or a real ID. The closer Congress gets to passing the SAVE Act, the louder the left squeals — and the more black people are letting them know it’s offensive.

How people still supported Biden after he said, "if you don't vote for me you are not black" still confuses me until this day.

But they kept voting for him after saying he didn't want his children going to school in racial jungles. And voters knowing his mentor was Robert Byrd yet did not think Biden is a racist?

The Dirtiest, Filthiest Skeletons in the Closets of Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene: How they got bought off with campaign contributions from virulent antisemitic Jew hater Palestinian Democrats living in the United States who are linked to an organization with ties to Islamic terrorist sympathizers and the eradication of the Jewish people in Israel.

Both the campaigns of Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene have gorged like pigs at a pig trough on campaign contributions from the antisemitic Jew hater Palestinian Democrat Mahrouq family. (screenshot 4)

FUN FACT: 79% of Thomas Massie's donations came from Democrats in the 2025-2026 election cycle. That means, only 21% came from Conservatives.

But do go ahead, tell me how he's the most Conservative Congressman & that's he's more MAGA than MAGA..

If these donors thought for a second that Massie was MAGA, they wouldn't be giving him a nickel.

I am pretty certain all those assessments of the replacement leadership being the same as or worse than Khamenei did not consider the 40 top officials meeting in the same building and dying all at the same time shortly before Khamenei.

It seems it's time for a new assessment and perhaps less hate and more positivity toward the Iranian people and their capabilities for action should be said?

MN Democrats are working on legislation that will effectively outlaw almost all guns AND give police the right to enter your home with no warrant if they allow you to keep a weapon they just banned.

VA Democrats are also looking to ban virtually all guns.

Both stories...too local.
