CNN Pushes Trump to Negotiate with Powerless Iranian President– www.newsbusters.org

During Monday’s CNN This Morning, panelist Susan Page of USA Today suggested President Trump missed an opportunity to negotiate with Iran after President Masoud Pezeshkian made a video statement on Saturday as a pledge to Gulf countries that they would stop attacks against them.

Spoiler alert: the attacks against gulf countries had not stopped since Pezeshkian has little to no power over the IRGC, something CNN contributor Brett McGurk pointed out earlier in the panel segment.

McGurk, while he reminded the viewers that Pezeshkian was an “accidental president,” pointed out the IRGC’s rejection of the president:

So, Pezeshkian is known as being, you know, somewhat of a moderate guy. That word is overused, but he’s not really kind of totally aligned with the real hardliners. He came out with a statement on Saturday morning apologizing to gulf states, saying, we’re going to stop these attacks, offering an off ramp, even. And President Trump then put out a statement saying that, you – they’re basically surrendering when it comes to the Middle East states but we’re going to continue the attacks. In any case, as soon as Pezeshkian spoke, within an hour or so, the hardline in Iran, the revolutionary guards said that is not our policy. And attacks against the gulf continued.

(LifeSiteNews) — Mobs of feminists across Mexico attempted to attack and vandalize several prominent Catholic churches during marches to commemorate International Women’s Day on Sunday.

A video posted across social media shows masked leftists torching the doors of an unidentified church in Querétaro.

According to CNN’s Data Analyst Harry Enten, you should not be surprised that people who have served in the military largely approve of the U.S. strikes on Iran when compared to voters overall.

He cites a Fox News Poll:

Among Republicans, more than 8 in 10 approve of the current U.S. use of force, while only 6 in 10 say the president’s actions on Iran are making the U.S. safer.

Nearly 8 in 10 Democrats disapprove of the U.S. strikes and think things are less safe because of Trump’s performance, while 6 in 10 or more independents think the same on both counts.

Among voters who have served in the military, 59% approve of the U.S. strikes on Iran (39% disapprove). Compared to voters overall, who say the U.S. is less safe by a wide margin, veterans are more closely divided on the question of whether Trump’s actions have made the country safer (37%) or less safe (44%).

Mahady Sacko, a 50-year-old illegal alien from the West African nation of Mauritania, has been charged with fraudulent voting in the 2024 federal election after allegedly casting ballots while not being a U.S. citizen. Federal authorities allege that Sacko falsely claimed citizenship to register and vote on multiple occasions, including in prior presidential elections.

According to prosectors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Sacko entered the United States in March 1998 through Miami, Florida. Immigration records indicate he was placed in deportation proceedings in 1999.

On June 14, 2000, a Philadelphia immigration judge ordered his removal to Mauritania. Sacko appealed the decision, but the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed it on November 14, 2002. Despite the order, he remained in the country.

In January 2007, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested him in Philadelphia. However, deportation was not possible at that time due to the lack of a valid Mauritanian passport, and Mauritania’s refusal to issue a new one. As a result, ICE released Sacko under supervision and required him to report periodically.

Iran Begins Transmitting Mysterious Numeric Radio Signal Across UK– slaynews.com

A chilling new signal believed to be tied to Iran has begun appearing across the radio spectrum in Europe, with shortwave listeners in the United Kingdom reporting mysterious encrypted broadcasts shortly after the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Amateur radio enthusiasts say the transmissions resemble a classic “numbers station,” a type of coded broadcast historically associated with espionage and covert intelligence operations.

The signal has been designated “V32” by the monitoring group ENIGMA2000, which tracks suspected intelligence transmissions around the world.

Shortwave listeners say the station broadcasts strings of encrypted numbers late at night and early in the evening.

The transmissions have reportedly been heard clearly across the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, with signals bouncing off the ionosphere and appearing on the frequency 7910 kHz (7.910 MHz) in Upper Sideband mode.

Monitors have described the broadcast as a male voice, possibly synthetic, speaking in Farsi while reading out sequences of numbers.

Khamenei’s Son Is the New Supreme Leader of Iran – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Murderous Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s son has succeeded his father, and we can only hope fervently that he will soon follow his father to eternal punishment.

The news that Iran’s Assembly of Experts named Mojtaba Khamenei as the new supreme leader of Iran appeared on Iranian state media Sunday afternoon, as relayed by the Jerusalem Post. Mojtaba was only a mid-ranking Islamic cleric before now, according to the Israeli outlet, but as the son of the decades-long dictator of the nation he had many powerful ties, including to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the terrorist group that acts as the government’s enforcers and helps orchestrate overseas terrorism. Israel has vowed to eliminate any supreme leader of Iran going forward.

Notably, it was the IRGC that slaughtered 40,000+ protesters in Iran during the recent mass protests against the Islamic regime. The new boss is the same as the old boss.

The Jerusalem Post explained:

Although Iran’s ruling ideology frowns on the principle of hereditary succession, he has a powerful following within the IRGC, including close ties to IRGC chief Ahmad Vahidi, former head of IRGC intelligence Hossein Taeb, and political figures, including Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, as well as his dead father’s still-influential office.

Russia Gave Iran Info To Help Target U.S. Military– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Russia has reportedly provided Iran with information that could help the regime target U.S. military assets across the Middle East, a development that adds a dangerous new layer to a war that is already widening by the day.

U.S. intelligence officials believe Moscow passed along information that could be used against American warships, aircraft and other military positions in the region. The officials told The Associated Press there is no indication Russia is directly ordering Tehran how to use the information, but the disclosure still marks the clearest sign yet that Moscow may be trying to assist Iran as the conflict intensifies.

The report lands as U.S. and Israeli forces continue pounding Iranian targets and as Tehran keeps launching retaliatory attacks against American positions and U.S. partners in the Gulf.

The White House believes the United States is “well on its way” toward controlling Iranian airspace and expects its core military objectives could be completed within four to six weeks. President Donald Trump has also taken a harder public line, demanding Iran’s “unconditional surrender” as the campaign moves deeper into its second week.

MARTHA RADDATZ: Mary, I want to start with you. You’ve heard the explanation from the president and his cabinet about why they started this war, why it will end, and how. But is anything clearer now?

MARY BRUCE:  Martha, the explanations from this administration and the president have been absolutely head-spinning this week. I mean, I think the clearest explanation from the president is probably the broadest at this point, which is him saying that this was an evil regime and that something had to be done. He said, quote, “Somebody had to do it”.

But we have heard vastly different explanations and contradictions about why now, was — what was the imminent threat? The president said it was his opinion — quote, “his opinion” — that Iran was going to strike first. But we have seen no evidence of that and they’ve offered wildly different explanations for what comes next.

What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ does the left not understand?

It turns out, though, the left does not need to understand this country’s founding documents because there is this little thing called the judicial system, which protects the rights of Americans when officials blatantly infringe on them.

The Court of Appeals in D.C. just ruled that banning “firearm magazines that are able to hold ‘more than 10 rounds of ammunition’ was unconstitutional, violating the Second Amendment,” according to DC News Now.

In the case United States and the District of Columbia v. Tyree Benson, Benson claimed that he was unconstitutionally convicted for owning a gun that had a magazine that could hold over 10 rounds of ammunition.

The ruling stated that the federal government, a prosecutor in the case, had acknowledged that the ban violated the Second Amendment, but that the District’s government continued to defend the ban.

It turns out that when you ban these types of firearms, you nearly ban “half of all magazines that citizens own.”

“The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death,” Tisch confirmed in an X post.

ALFREDO ORTIZ: American Economy Much Stronger Than Jobs Report Suggests– dailycaller.com

Friday’s jobs report showed 92,000 positions were lost in February, sending the stock market falling. The unemployment rate rose to 4.4%, and the labor force participation rate fell to 62.0%.

However, February job loss is due to several factors that don’t reflect the strength of the underlying small-business economy. Mainly, the worst winter storm since 1996 paralyzed the Northeast, trapping people in their homes, shutting down job sites, and closing retail doors. The storm dropped two feet of snow across New England, resulting in power outages affecting 600,000 people and a state of emergency throughout the region.

Generally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics highlights such large external events affecting job creation in a special section of the jobs report. But not this time. Any analysis of the February jobs report needs to include this angle.

To his supporters, Donald J. Trump is the 47th president of the United States. For our enemies, he is something far more intolerable: the de facto leader of Western civilization. He is nothing less than the obstacle to a civilizational transformation they have already advanced in London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, and Ottawa.

This enemy has a name: the Red-Green alliance. It is the political covenant between the left and Islam. Its strength is precisely that it is not external. It votes. It holds our passports. It sits in our legislatures and city halls. It shouts down, as in the example of Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, our president’s State of the Union. This is the enemy within: a left who mobilizes blocs of Islamic voters whose only shared objective is the destruction of the West.

Trump is alone among Western leaders in saying this plainly. When pressed as to whether British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s refusal to assist U.S action against Iran was due to his “pandering to Muslim voters,” Trump refused to recite the ritual lie.
