Arn Anderson’s real name isn’t Arn Anderson. It’s Martin Anthony Lunde. But because he kinda-sorta looked like fellow pro wrestler Ole Anderson, he “became” an Anderson in the weird, wacky world of wrestling. (Of course, Ole Anderson wasn’t really an Anderson either: In the 1960s, Alan Robert Rogowski “became” Ole Anderson, when he was teamed with “brothers” Gene Anderson and Lars Anderson… a.k.a. Larry Heiniemi.) Out of the four Andersons, only one was authentic.

Which is why it worked: A 4-1 ratio is all you need to sell a lie. 

If everything you say is untrue, nobody will listen to you. A Devil who only told lies would collect zero souls. There needs to be an anchor — something real and tangible for you to exploit.

The overwhelming majority of political pundits — from the biggest stars on Fox News to the lowliest “influencers” on social media — simply aren’t smart enough to offer new insights and thoughtful, original analysis of fast-breaking events. And that’s a problem, because their livelihood depends on their minds and their mouths: If they aren’t saying something different than the next guy, then what’s the point in paying ‘em for their opinions? These pundits work, after all, in an attention-driven marketplace.

Unfortunately, this incentivizes media “experts” to greatly exaggerate their “expertise.”

 

‘The war is done’: Trump not interested in restarting negotiations with Iran | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

“I don’t see them getting back involved in the nuclear business anymore. I think they’ve had it. They’ve been at it for 20 years, and I don’t see that happening either.”

President Donald Trump spoke to press at the NATO summit from The Hague in the Netherlands on Wednesday, telling reporters that he did not think restarting negotiations with Iran was necessary since the “war is done.”

Trump celebrated the missile strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, calling it “obliteration.” He said that “no other military on Earth could have done it” and it was an “incredible exercise of American strength” that has “paved the way for peace with a historic ceasefire agreement.”

He said that he believes the 12 Day War is “over,” and added “I don’t think they’re going to be going back at each other.” He noted a letter that stated Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities were rendered “totally inoperable” during the strikes, and that the strikes “set back Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come.”

Trump was asked what made him “so confident” that the conflict between Israel and Iran was over, to which Trump replied, “they’re both tired, exhausted. They both fought very, very hard and very viciously, very violently, and they were both satisfied to go home and get out.”

“Can it start again? I guess someday it can. It could maybe start again soon. I think a big telltale sign was when, as you know, Iran, somewhat but not much, violated the ceasefire. And Israel had the planes going out that morning, and there were a lot of them, 52 of them. And I said, you got to get them back, and they brought them back. They didn’t do anything.”

He said of Iran, “I don’t see them getting back involved in the nuclear business anymore. I think they’ve had it. They’ve been at it for 20 years, and I don’t see that happening either.”

Rubio Goes Off on Iran Leakers– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

All those breathless headlines about Iran’s nuclear program from the fake news media on Tuesday are, well, fake news. Shocking, I know.

We kind of already knew that, as my colleague Chris Queen reported yesterday and others have spoken out on it, but when it comes to foreign policy, I listen to one man and one man only, and that is Secretary of State Marco Rubio. On Wednesday,  he not only set the record straight on the impact of bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities, but he also explained why most of Europe is wrong to want to sanction Russia.

Rubio, who is traveling with President Donald Trump to Europe this week, sat down for an interview with Politico on Wednesday morning, and, as you can imagine, Iran was the first topic to come up. Rubio’s biggest problem with the situation is the intelligence leak and the fact that it was likely misread and/or misused just to embarrass the president or promote an agenda:

Well, I can’t talk to you about intelligence.  I can also tell you that intelligence leaks are one of the most frustrating things anywhere, not just because you’ve got somebody who has access to this putting stuff out there, but because it’s so often mischaracterized.  An intelligence report, for anyone who’s ever seen it, sometimes is an assessment.  Some analyst will make an assessment, or analysts will make an assessment.  And in these leaks, what you typically have is someone who read it and then leaks it to the media, giving it the spin and the angle they want it to have because they’ve got some purpose:  embarrass the administration, they were against the action, whatever it may be.

After expressing his frustration with intelligence leaks, he explained that our bombs did significant damage to Iran’s nuclear program.

Let me tell you this. The Iranian program, the nuclear program today, looks nothing like it did just a week ago. The program today has been set behind significantly from where it was a week ago. It is in far worse shape today than it was a week ago because of U.S. actions and because some of the actions the Israelis took. So the bottom line is they are much further away from a nuclear weapon today than they were before the President took this bold action. That’s the most important thing to understand. Significant, very significant, substantial damage was done to a variety of different components, and we’re just learning more about it.

Understand that most of the damage that occurred here in Fordow occurred deep underground. That’s why we used penetrator weaponry to do that. So that’s why I hate commenting on these stories, because often the first story is wrong and the person putting it out there has an agenda. And I would say that story is a false story and it’s one that really shouldn’t be re-reported because it doesn’t accurately reflect what’s happening here.

Vice President J.D. Vance has vowed that America will not see “boots on the ground” in Iran.

Vance made the promise as he defended President Donald Trump’s bold airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“We’re not at war with Iran,” Vance told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“We’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program.

“We have no interest in a protracted conflict.

“We have no interest in boots on the ground,” he said.

“We didn’t blow up diplomacy.”

Trump has said he has no interest in a prolonged conflict in the Middle East after the United States bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend.

The strikes led to criticism from Democrats, as well as some libertarians and non-interventionists on the Right, who feared Trump was breaking a promise not to embroil the U.S. in another war.

Vance, a vocal non-interventionist, said that Trump’s strikes had a limited objective and only came as a last resort.

“We only took this action when it was clear, as the president said, that the Iranians were tapping us along,” he said.

“The Iranians are clearly not very good at war.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Speaking to reporters during a press conference to finish out his visit to the 2025 NATO Summit, President Donald Trump revealed talks with Iran are in the works and won’t be about their “obliterated” nuclear program.

“We may sign an agreement. I don’t know,” Trump said. “I don’t think it [a signed agreement] is necessary.”

Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth all vehimentely pushed back on leftist media reports Wednesday that the U.S. military strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure over the weekend didn’t severely damage their program.

Earlier in the day Trump told reporters Iran could be a great country and that they should return their focus to the oil business, not building a nuclear bomb.

Excerpt:

(LifeSiteNews) — German authorities conducted more than 180 operations across the country, targeting individuals accused of spreading hate and incitement online – most of them tied to content considered far-right.

Tagesspiegel reports that the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt, or BKA) announced that more than 65 search warrants were executed, and many suspects questioned in connection with over 140 investigations.

The “Day of Action against Hate and Incitement Online,” coordinated by the BKA alongside state law enforcement agencies, is the twelfth such operation aimed at curbing illegal speech on the internet.

Prosecutors allege that many of the posts included criminal incitement to hatred (Volksverhetzung), insults against public figures, and the use of banned symbols linked to “unconstitutional or terrorist organisations.” Some suspects are also accused of endorsing or glorifying criminal acts.

According to the BKA, roughly two-thirds of the offending content came from purportedly far-right sources. One case cited involved a user on X (formerly Twitter) who allegedly posted: “Heil Hitler!! Once again. We are Germans and a successful nation. Male foreigners out.”

Excerpt:

Israel’s Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) has said that US and Israeli strikes on Iran on Sunday have rendered the Fordow underground enrichment site “inoperable.”

In a handout, the IAEC claimed the “devastating” strikes “destroyed the site’s critical infrastructure.”

“We assess that the American strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other elements of Iran’s military nuclear program, has set back Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years,” the statement said.

The statement was initially shared by the White House and then later released on X by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli assessment contradicts a leaked intelligence report from the US, which suggests that Iran’s nuclear programme has only been set back by a few months and was not “completely and fully obliterated” as US President Donald Trump claimed.

The report issued by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) on Monday is at odds with statements from Trump and Netanyahu about the status of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

President Trump shut down Iran’s nuclear program and helped get a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. CNN is so upset about it; their reporting is worse than usual. Today’s show breaks it down.

“How can anyone be upset about that?” Crowder said.

Per a Truth Social post from the POTUS:

FAKE NEWS CNN, TOGETHER WITH THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES, HAVE TEAMED UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEMEAN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MILITARY STRIKES IN HISTORY. THE NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED! BOTH THE TIMES AND CNN ARE GETTING SLAMMED BY THE PUBLIC!

However, CNN would like you to believe otherwise.

According to CNN:

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.”

Excerpt:

Border czar Tom Homan revealed Sunday that 1,272 Iranian nationals were released during the Biden administration, who were among the “over 10 million people” who crossed into the United States illegally.

Homan’s warning comes after President Donald Trump announced on Saturday night that the U.S. struck Iran, in which “a full payload” of bombs was dropped on three nuclear sites in the country. The border czar was asked about the possibility of sleeper cells occupied by Iranians in the U.S., to which he reiterated his national security concerns posed by the last administration’s handling of the border and how it greatly contrasts with Trump’s security of it.

“So we’re not releasing people in this country, special interest aliens aren’t crossing this border undetected,” Homan stated on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “But under Joe Biden, we had over 10 million people cross that border. But my biggest concern, from day one, beyond the fentanyl, beyond the sex trafficking of women and children, were the two million known gotaways. Over two million people crossed that border, we don’t know who they are, where they came from, because they got away because border patrol is so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created that 2 million people crossed the border and got away.”

Homan went on to state that Trump’s intelligence community has been working “since day one” to figure out where the illegal gotaways are within the U.S. He also expressed gratitude that new leadership at the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are in place, namedropping FBI Director Kash Patel and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

In the aftermath of the U.S. airstrikes on Iran Saturday, Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for a de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East and for parties to “return immediately to the negotiating table.”

“Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon,” he wrote in a statement shared to X Sunday morning. “While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.

“As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza,” he continued, adding, “Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.”

TEHRAN: Iranian lawmakers voted on Wednesday (Jun 25) in favour of suspending cooperation with the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, state TV said, after a 12-day war that saw Israeli and US strikes on its nuclear facilities.

“The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which refused to even marginally condemn the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, put its international credibility up for auction,” Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said, according to state TV.

The decision still requires the approval of the Guardian Council, a body empowered to vet legislation.

Should it be ratified, Ghalibaf said “the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran will suspend its cooperation with the IAEA until the security of the nuclear facilities is guaranteed”.

Sharp dressed man: Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the sartorial switch for NATO– www.euronews.com

Excerpt:

US rock band ZZ Top stormed the charts in 1983 with a song about a “Sharp Dressed Man,” lyrics that this week could apply to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Zelenskyy is currently in The Hague attending this year’s NATO summit in a bid to ensure continued Western military support for his country, which, more than three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion, is still trying to repel Moscow’s forces.

And this time around, the Ukrainian president looks more formal than he has been since Russia’s all-out war against Ukraine started in early 2022.

Gone are the army fatigues Zelenskyy has worn since then; in their place is a blazer (albeit with military overtones), dress pants, and a dress shirt, sans necktie.

But why the switch? There are several possible reasons. But first, let’s take a quick look at why Zelenskyy ditched the more usual presidential attire of suit, dress shirt and tie in the first place.

Between his election to the Ukrainian presidency in 2019 and the Russian full-scale invasion, Zelenskyy dressed much like any other head of state: he was clean-shaven and wore tailored suits, dress shoes, shirts and ties.

But after the 2022 invasion, Zelenskyy opted for a sartorial switch, favouring instead sweatshirts, cargo pants and work boots. He has also worn a military-style vyshyvanka — a traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt that is part of the country’s cultural heritage.

The choice of clothes partly reflects the fact that he is Ukraine’s commander-in-chief and is also a sign of solidarity with Ukraine’s armed forces.

“Zelenskyy dresses demonstratively. But the only message he wants to convey with his clothing is: ‘In my country, there is a war,'” Ukrainian fashion historian Zoya Zvynyatskivska told The Kyiv Independent newspaper.

Excerpt:

As the Israel-Iran ceasefire staggered into effect on Tuesday, all of the combatants launched a plausible argument for victory.

In the United States, President Donald Trump claimed that both his diplomatic and military interventions had largely been responsible for halting the fighting, while the leaders of Iran and Israel each claimed to have secured a decisive win in a regional contest that dates back decades.

In Israel, however, the emerging narrative is that the end result of the conflict with Iran has solidified the position of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Just two weeks ago, Netanyahu was in real trouble. On the night before he ordered the unilateral strike on regional nemesis Iran, his governing coalition was only able to survive thanks to a last-minute deal with dissenting members. Public and political opinion had also appeared to have turned against his war on Gaza, and internationally, Israel’s allies were beginning to protest the blockade of the Palestinian enclave.

Now, he can argue that he has severely weakened Israel’s most dangerous regional enemy, Iran, and he claims that its nuclear programme has been destroyed and sent “down the drain”.

Japan and NATO agreed Tuesday to closely collaborate to address “security challenges” such as the Middle East crisis, Russia’s war against Ukraine and North Korea’s past abductions of Japanese nationals.

During their talks in The Hague, Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte also affirmed that they would work to elevate their cooperation to “a new height” in various fields including defense industries, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said.

The talks came as the United States, a NATO member and Japan’s close ally, conducted airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities amid the conflict between Israel and Iran, although the regional rivals said earlier Tuesday they had agreed to a cease-fire.

Russia and North Korea have been strengthening their military partnership as Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine — which began in 2022 — drags on and Pyongyang continues its missile and nuclear development.

Excerpt:

In a jaw-dropping revelation that should shake every American to their core, former Biden advisor Neera Tanden has admitted under oath that she — not Joe Biden — was in control of the president’s autopen for nearly two years.

A top White House aide, utterly unelected and unknown to most of the country, had the authority to affix the President’s signature to official documents, including sweeping executive orders and controversial pardons, all while the nation was led to believe these were the deliberate actions of the commander-in-chief himself.

“As staff secretary, I was responsible for handling the flow of documents to and from the president,” she testified. “I was also authorized to direct that autopen signatures be affixed to certain categories of documents.”

This isn’t some minor bureaucratic quirk. Tanden’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee exposes a chilling reality: for a significant stretch of Biden’s presidency, the man who was supposed to be in charge may have been little more than a figurehead, with crucial decisions and official acts rubber-stamped by staffers operating behind the scenes.

Tanden, who served as Senior Advisor and later as Staff Secretary, openly acknowledged that from October 2021 to May 2023, she was authorized to direct the use of the autopen on Biden’s behalf.

“We had a system for authorizing the use of the autopen that I inherited from prior administrations,” Tanden claimed. “We employed that system throughout my tenure as staff secretary.”

Despite her admission, she insists there was no abuse of the autopen or a cover-up.

Initially proposed as a way to limit frivolous lawsuits, conservatives charge that the provision will instead protect corporate America from “little guy” suits.

At issue is the inclusion of the “Tackling Predatory Litigation Funding Act,” offered in the Senate version of the reconciliation bill by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and in the House by Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK).

Tillis said the goal was to stop predatory suits by hitting third-party funding of court actions, for which the funders get a piece of any settlement. Both Hern and Tillis warned that “foreign entities” are often the funders.

According to a new report from Axios, people who will be required to provide testimony include Jill Biden’s adviser Anthony Bernal, Joe’s advisers Annie Tomasini, Ashley Williams, Neera Tanden, Mike Donilon, Anita Dunn, Ron Klain, Bruce Reed, and Steve Ricchetti.

The decision means the former aides must answer questions about their private conversations with Biden during closed-door interviews with the House Oversight Committee.

The aides could challenge the decision in court, as could Biden, but no such action has been reported at this time.

On Tuesday, the White House counsel’s office sent a letter to Tanden’s lawyers, which was obtained by Axios, stating that invoking executive privilege was not “in the national interest” due to the “exceptional circumstances” of the investigation.

Following President Donald Trump’s decisive strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, federal agencies and local officials in key U.S. cities and states are leaving nothing to chance, stepping up security efforts and heightening surveillance to guard against potential threats.

After President Trump took decisive action to launch a surprise attack on Iran’s nuclear program, taking out Iran’s three major nuclear facilities, Tehran warned the United States that it would counterattack with retaliatory strikes, saying that it would “cause deep regret.”

“Today’s act of aggression by the terrorist American regime has granted the Islamic Republic of Iran the legitimate right to act in self-defense, including through options that go beyond the delusional calculations of the aggressor coalition,” an IRGC statement published on Iran’s state-affiliated news agency Tasnim said. “The invaders should expect responses that will cause deep regret.”

In response, federal authorities and top leaders across the U.S. have ramped up security measures to monitor for potential threats.

Poll Shows Most Christian Voters Would “Never Consider Voting for a Democrat”– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Over the course of his third presidential campaign, President Donald Trump repeatedly presented himself as a defender of American Christians and his rivals, then-President Joe Biden and then-Vice President Kamala Harris, as opponents and even persecutors of the Christian faith. A new survey is showing that American Christians largely agreed with Trump’s rhetoric, even if not with all of his policy decisions. Change Research conducted what Time Magazine called “one of the largest polls of Christian voters ever to quantify the mood of the nation’s largest voting bloc,” and found that American Christians broadly do not trust the Democratic Party.

According to the survey, 75% of Christian voters say that they have “little or no trust in the Democratic Party,” while 58% say that party elites and leaders are “hostile to Christianity,” 54% say that even Democratic voters are “hostile to Christianity,” and 62% say that they would “never consider voting for a Democrat.”

Doug Pagitt, the “progressive pastor” who commissioned the study, told Time that Democrats have crippled their electoral prowess by ignoring and denigrating American Christians and Christian values. “You can’t be the majority party if you ignore the majority faith in this country,” he said. Pointing to the success Republicans have had with Christian voters, he continued, “Republicans have made a concerted effort. Democrats have done everything they can never to name that [Christian] identity. They have a built-in bias against these identities in the Democratic Party.” Pagitt opined that Democrats “squandered” their chances with Christian voters in the 2024 election. “They just walked away,” he said.
