The US has surged special operations forces into the Middle East and repositioned fighter squadrons across the region after four US troops were killed over the past week, according to flight tracking data. More than 150 medics have also been sent to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany — the military’s primary hospital for wounded troops from the Middle East — in preparation for potential additional casualties, the The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the US military also deployed a B-1 long-range bomber on Tuesday, US officials told Axios. It was the first time the US conducted a B-1 mission since fighting with Iran resumed 12 days ago — and signals a notable escalation in the war, the outlet noted.
Trump says 'US will hold Iran responsible' if Houthis continue attacking ships in Red Sea President Donald Trump said Thursday morning that the United States will inflict "major military punishment" on Iran if the Houthis continue attacking ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis, an Iran-backed terrorist group in Yemen, fired at two Saudi Arabian ships on Wednesday. "A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships," Trump wrote on Truth Social, referring to U.S. military operations in March and May of last year. President Trump, Iran and Napoleon’s still-relevant maxim
US warns of secret enemy flights to help terror group ramp up attacks Trump says Saudi Arabia nuclear deal ‘totally subject’ to Riyadh joining Abraham Accords, normalizing Israel ties President Trump abruptly announced Thursday he is conditioning a newly agreed nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia on Riyadh committing to join the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel. Trump’s newly announced prerequisite came one day after Washington and Riyadh finalized a deal in which the US would provide the Saudis with technical know-how for a civilian nuclear program. “The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) being made between the United States Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, which pertains only to non-military use such as the ones that Iran and UAE (and others) already have, will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords,” Trump declared on Truth Social. Saudi Nuclear Deal Sparks Alarm; Lindsey Graham's Death Opened Door The late Sen. Lindsey Graham had one dying wish — the thing he fought for behind the scenes: a nuclear deal between the United States and Saudi Arabia, but only if the kingdom signed a peace agreement with Israel and joined the Abraham Accords. Friends of the senator say he would never have supported the current deal that offers the Saudis the quid without the pro quo. The senator's passing opens the door for the deal to slip through Congress and may be a key reason it was announced.
Obama Center subcontractor shuts down amid $4M fight, lays off 25 Adamson Plumbing owner Mike Owen said the company had to abandon half a dozen other construction jobs due to the fallout Weeks after the Obama Presidential Center’s star-studded opening in Chicago, a subcontractor who previously claimed his company was stiffed for nearly $4 million has shut down operations and laid off 25 union workers. Mike Owen, the owner of Chicago-based Adamson Plumbing Contractors, told Fox News Digital that the financial fallout forced the company to abandon about half a dozen other construction jobs and left it on the verge of collapse. Owen described the shutdown as a painful decision he believed was necessary to save the company from bankruptcy. "Laying off close to 30 people is something that no owner in our industry wants to do," Owen said. "It’s a hard thing to do, especially when you know you can finish them and the company can still make money. But we were put in a pretty bad corner." Hasan Piker makes AOC his 2028 pick for president, says it's 'not even a question’ The far-left Twitch streamer said Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could activate low-propensity voters and excite the Democratic base Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker selected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over a slate of prominent Democrats as his preferred 2028 presidential candidate on Wednesday — arguing that AOC could excite the Democratic Party's base and bring infrequent voters into a winning coalition. When asked to choose between Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., as his preferred candidate, Piker immediately selected the New York congresswoman. "AOC. It's not even a question," Piker said during a Zeteo interview with Mehdi Hasan. Piker made the choice at the end of a rapid-fire exercise that began with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The list later included former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, former Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif. Rubio Revives Ukraine Peace Effort in Talks With Russia Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday the Trump administration is poised to help end the “senseless war” in Ukraine but acknowledged there is no quick path to a deal, saying diplomacy will require sustained effort and new ideas. Rubio, who earlier held talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, said Moscow and Kyiv should have the incentive to end a “very blood war” that devastated both sides. Rubio alluded to how U.S.-mediated talks have stalled, calling them “unsuccessful or at least unfruitful” in the past but insisted U.S. President Donald Trump was committed to the work “if conditions and factors have changed to make that possible.”
Nicaragua's parliament plans to eliminate elections to codify President Ortega's declaration Lawmakers argue the constitutional change will ensure 'peace, security and stability' Nicaragua's lawmakers announced plans to abolish elections in the Central American country, following through on President Daniel Ortega's declaration over the weekend that there would be no more elections, which enraged the international community. The move was revealed on Tuesday by Nicaragua's congress, which is firmly in the hands of Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo. Lawmakers said the planned constitutional overhaul will ensure Nicaragua's "peace, security and stability." With the announcement, lawmakers are making good on Ortega's promise of no more elections, further closing off any potential path for the opposition to challenge the government he leads with Murillo, whom constitutional reforms elevated from vice president to "co-president." House Again Passes Resolution Seeking to Halt Military Action in Iran as Some Republicans Defect The House on Thursday narrowly passed a resolution to halt U.S. military action in Iran, sending a warning to President Donald Trump for the second time as the war has escalated and the future of the conflict is increasingly uncertain. The 214-208 vote requiring congressional approval for the war comes as the Senate is expected to consider a similar resolution later Thursday morning. Though the votes forced by Democrats are largely symbolic, they are meant as a strong signal to the Republican president that his support on Capitol Hill is chipping away as the war drags on and lawmakers in both parties have questioned his administration's endgame. The war has had "no clear mission, no strategy, no end goal," said Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat who led the resolution on the House floor. Jim Jordan to DOJ: Hit Jack Smith for False Statements House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, asked the Justice Department on Wednesday to investigate former special counsel Jack Smith for allegedly making false statements under oath. Jordan suggested that Smith's office had access to text messages involving members of Congress. In a letter to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Jordan said newly obtained Justice Department records contradict testimony Smith gave during a Dec. 17, 2025, deposition before the House Judiciary Committee. "The Committee is providing this information for the DOJ to investigate a potential violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001," Jordan wrote, referring to the federal law prohibiting knowingly and willfully making materially false statements. President Trump, Iran and Napoleon’s still-relevant maxim 'If you start to take Vienna, take Vienna' By Hugh Hewitt
The future of the West and President Donald Trump’s reputation within it through the centuries will depend on the outcome of the ongoing battle with the Islamic Republic of Iran. America is decisively winning that battle, but it has not yet won it. In fact, the U.S. could lose the battle. If President Trump perseveres, that will not happen. If he abandons the battle, it could very well be the worst foreign policy debacle for the U.S. since the end of the Vietnam War, rivaling even that of the catastrophe of President Joe Biden’s command to American forces to quickly depart Afghanistan in 2021. Because of those two competing futures, it is highly likely that President Trump will persevere. And he should. Iran is run by religious fanatics. That is the overarching reality about the defining threat Iran poses to the region and indeed the world. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps ("IRGC") cannot be "deterred" in the way other evil tyrannies can be deterred. Miranda Devine: The Smithsonian reeks of communist ideologies that our Founding Fathers would be ashamed of By Miranda Devine
If you wondered how communism has grabbed a foothold in the United States of America of all places, look no further than the Smithsonian Institution. The world’s largest and most influential museum has been hijacked by Marxist ideology to teach self-loathing anti-American woke propaganda to its 20 million annual visitors plus 20 million students a year. The Smithsonian teaches that “politeness,” “punctuality,” “objectivity” and “hard work” is white supremacy, and that Mickey Mouse is a form of blackface, while devoting not one major exhibit to George Washington or any of the Founding Fathers. It does teach that Benjamin Franklin was a vile slave owner who owed his discoveries to his slaves and that Christopher Columbus was a psychopathic killer and racist and that we live on stolen land. |
