Michigan’s Dirty And Dead-Ridden Voter Rolls Escape Scrutiny– thefederalist.com

It appears the dead will continue to rest in peace on Michigan’s dirty voter rolls.

The U.S. Supreme Court this week summarily denied a request to review two lower court decisions that rejected an election-integrity watchdog’s lawsuit seeking to force Michigan’s far-left Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to remove the names of deceased people from the voter files.

In a release denying certiorari for dozens of cases, the court did not explain why it decided not to hear the Public Interest Legal Foundation’s challenge.

The recent Democratic polling for election year 2028 has been posted. There’s a field, though not a very compelling one. Some governors in blue states that people can’t flee from fast enough, progressive twits who can’t speak English all that well, and some would-be moderates hoping to recoup the working classes that broke for Trump and the Republicans in 2016 and 2024.

And then there’s California’s Gavin Newsom.

Is he the new thing that Democrats are looking for to lead them into 2028?

Current polling places Kamala Harris as the first pick for the presidential nomination.

Chris Hayes Compares Trump Bombing Iran to 9/11 Terrorists– www.newsbusters.org

MS NOW All In host Chris Hayes made a morally obscene analogy on his Monday show as he lamented that the United States allegedly does not appreciate the fact that the people who die in war are real human beings. To prove his point, Hayes tried to claim that the terror Americans felt after 9/11 is “commonplace” in other parts of the world because of “the kinds of war of aggression that Donald Trump just started.”

Hayes started with what may have seemed to be a friendly reminder that this war is taking place in the real world with real people being caught in the middle, “But outside these borders, war is having a bomb dropped on your daughter’s elementary school, seeing some alert or getting a panicked call, or on your apartment building, or the hospital where you are receiving care. Death from above. And when you only view war through our perspective, the understanding that bombs are never coming for us, it becomes nothing more than an abstraction. Gets far too easy to wave away the loss of human life. It’s priced in. It’s the cost of doing business.”

IDF Destroys ‘Secret’ Iranian Nuclear Site and Over 300 Ballistic Missile Launchers Across Iran– gellerreport.com

One of the greatest forces for good the world has ever known. And that is why the left hate her. The hatred of the good for being the good.

The secret nuclear facility—previously unknown to Western intelligence—was struck in the opening hours of the campaign and completely destroyed: Israeli Air Force jets on Tuesday destroyed a secret underground site on the outskirts of Tehran where Iran transferred much of its nuclear program after the war with Israel in June, the IDF said…. Following that war, in which Israel and the US targeted Iranian nuclear sites, Iran “did not halt its military nuclear activity, and continued to develop the capabilities required for nuclear weapons, while transferring infrastructure to an underground site protected from aerial attack,” said Defrin (Times of Israel). Foundation for Defense of Democracies analyst Thomas Joscelyn called it, “the most significant degradation of Iranian strategic capabilities in a generation” (FDD). Israel has destroyed over 300 Iranian ballistic missile launchers in coordinated strikes across multiple provinces, the Jerusalem Post confirmed (Jerusalem Post). Iran’s retaliatory capacity has been crippled. In an interview with Politico, President Trump said Iran is both running out of missiles and running out of launchers (Politico).

When debris from an intercepted Iranian missile struck the Fairmont The Palm, a five-star hotel on Dubai’s opulent manmade archipelago on Feb. 28, it pierced not just the country’s advanced missile defence system but also its carefully crafted image of security.

For decades, the United Arab Emirates has positioned itself as an economic and cultural hub, connecting European and Asian markets.

“The U.A.E. in particular, but more broadly, the rest of the Gulf positioned itself as a haven, surrounded by a pool of chaos for the last 40 years … and that’s all been shattered now,” said Stephen J. Fallon, a political analyst who lived in the country for eight years, and now resides in Ireland.

Iran is operating in “survival mode,” explains Mr. Mansour. For decades, Iran relied heavily on proxy militias and non-state actors across the Middle East and now increasingly willing to directly engage in confrontation. Tehran’s strategy for an asymmetric war is strategic disruption to transform a bilateral conflict into one with regional and global economic consequences.

“We are eliminating certain Senior Service College (SSC) Fellowship programs for the 2026-2027 academic year and beyond. I am also directing the compilation of a revised list of elite institutions offering equivalent programs to replace those eliminated,” the agency wrote in a memo to Pentagon leadership.

It said this change will give leaders “a more rigorous and relevant education.”

Further, in a video posted on X,  Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said, “For decades, the Ivy League and similar institutions have gorged themselves on a trust fund of American taxpayer dollars only to become factories of anti-American resentment and military disdain.”

“They’ve replaced the study of victory and pragmatic realism with the promotion of wokeness and weakness,” he said.

In the same clip, she is seen hugging strangers in New York. For Alinejad, those embraces were not theatrical. They were, as she later explained, acts of survival.Responding to comments about “hugging strangers”, she wrote that when you live in exile and cannot safely hug your own mother, strangers stop feeling like strangers. The people she embraced, she said, saw both joy and grief on her face. “That’s not performance. That’s survival.” She added that America had saved her life three times and that the people around her have become her new family. For Alinejad, developments in Iran are never abstract political events.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Monday that the Trump administration believed that Israel was imminently planning to strike Iran before the US authorized Operation Epic Fury. “Was there an imminent threat? Did you tell lawmakers there was an imminent threat?” A reporter asked.

“There absolutely was an imminent threat,” Rubio said. “And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us. And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded, because the Department of War assessed that if we did that, if we waited for them to hit us first, after they were attacked by someone else, [if] Israel attacked them, they hit us first, and we waited for them to hit us, we would suffer more casualties and more deaths,” Rubio said.
