It now looks as if more than 40 leading Iranian political and military leaders have been killed in Operation Epic Fury, chief among them, Ayatollah Ali Khameni. Iran had tried to deflect the news, and even swore up and down that none of its leaders had been executed.
“The people that make all the decisions, most of them are gone.” says President Donald Trump. Here’s more from the Liberal Hivemind.
Israel and the United States launched a “preventative missile attack” on Iran Friday night, prompting counter-strikes against sites in Israel as well as American Air Force and Naval bases across the Middle East. Missile or drone strikes were reported in nations including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Syria, Kuwait, Jordan and Iraq.
Numerous Iranian officials reportedly were assassinated, including President Masoud Beyzeshkian, the defense minister and the head of the judiciary. The Ayatollah Ali Khameini was not among those killed. He supposedly has gone into hiding outside of the capital city of Tehran. There were other conflicting reports he would deliver a speech on TV. Of course, there are said to be many Khameini body doubles.
Here, President Donald Trump accuses Iran of engaging in “mass terror from Lebanon to Yemen” and says, “we’re not going to put up with it any longer.” He called on the people of Iran to finish off the job and throw out Khameini. M.J. Truth picks up Trump’s press conference.
Fox News is now reporting that an Israeli strike took out the Ayatollah Ali Khameini. Fox News cited Israel as the source of the confirmation.
We will have to wait and see if Iran says only a body double was killed or if the actual Ayatollah Ali Khameini resurfaces. Here’s more from M.J. Truth.
Notorious Mexican drug lord El Mencho was killed in a Mexican government raid to arrest him. But was this whole operation a result of a pressure campaign from President Trump?
Glenn Beck speaks to Breitbart Cartel Chronicles co-founder Brandon Darby, who had warned Glenn about El Mencho last year. Darby shares his critical insight into the operation and what Mexico and the United States may look like going forward.
Juan O’Savin tells David “Nino” Rodriguez that Mexicans, as well as Americans living in Mexico, can expect hell over the next few weeks as the war against the cartels rages, especially in tourist zones like Puerto Vallarta. But O’Savin says the Mexican government had no choice but to act. Otherwise, the cartels would have continued to ramp up violence for years ahead.
Now, there will be a period of intense clashes, but hopefully, some light will shine through the tunnel soon. One remaining question: Will the United States enter the fray, sending the U.S. military to dig the cartels out of the rat traps they have set along our southern border? President Donald Trump has offered to help fight these fiends, but Mexico has resisted. Could that change over the weeks ahead?
O’Savin believes both Mexico and the United States would like this battle to end ahead of the 2026 World Cup. That will see the world’s soccer teams compete in staged matches in the United States, Mexico and Canada this summer from June 11 through July 19. The Mexican games will be in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.
Why should all Democrats be sent to Greenland? Maybe because they’re obsessed with ICE! Here’s more from Little Trump Cartoons.
The American capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was a precise operation, carried out like clockwork.
But there was one notable exception. Among the military targets bombed or strafed was one significant civic structure — the mausoleum containing the remains of former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, who orchestrated Venezuela fall into socialism in 1998. Sean Penn must be crying in his beer.
Here’s a look back at Chavez’s backward rule, which led one-quarter of Venezuela’s population to flee the country, mostly to the United States, but also to Spain and other points across Latin America. Patrick Ben-David explains in a Valuetainment short.
Who will take over as the next president of Venezuela? One possibility is Maria Corina Machado, the opposition leader in Venezuela, who recently was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump, though, indicated he prefers a candidate that could generate more support. It’s not clear who that might be.
Thee air strikes on Caracas began after midnight — around 1:15 a.m. Saturday. Maduro had been captured by 4:20 am. and was arriving, via plane, to New York City by 7:25 a.m.
Under Maduro, Venezuela supplied more than 70 percent of its oil exports to Communist China. The Latin American nation also supplied heavy amounts of oil to radical Islamic groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah, across the Middle East. With the socialists losing their tight control over Venezuela, those supplies can be controlled and/or diverted. So this could dampen danger around the globe. Here’s more from Lori Colley.
The United States has launched bombing missions over the countryside of Venezuela. Three B-52s took part in the latest mission on Monday.
The precise target isn’t clear, but previous strikes at sea have been aimed at ships transporting drugs, presumably operated by the Tren de Aragua cartel.
A buildup in hostilities has occurred since September. Besides drug running ships, specific docks have been targeted — docks where drugs are allegedly being transported to be hauled across the Caribbean into the United States and Canada. Here’s more from Steve Turley.
Islamism is advancing inside the United States through Minnesota’s massive welfare fraud tied to Al-Shabaab, Sharia-style tribunals in Texas, Muslim Brotherhood campus networks, and failed immigration vetting that led to a CIA-trained Afghan migrant killing a National Guardsman.
Glenn Beck ties these stories to the Muslim Brotherhood’s 100-year plan to conquer the West, which is reportedly halfway complete. Europe has already lived through this collapse.
British writer and podcaster Peter McIlvenna joins to reveal the parallels between Britain and what he saw while visiting Texas, and he reacts to Gov. Greg Abbott and President Trump cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood.
Free speech is the FIRST Amendment for good reason.
Without it, we’re not really free.
In Britain, police arrest hundreds of people a week for things they say online.
Here, Democrats and Republicans say contradictory things about free speech. John Stossel offers his take.
