broker..

President Donald Trump remains – at least publicly – reluctant to plunge the US into another Mideast war and has continued to distance himself from the violence.

One US official told CNN that Trump rejected an Israeli plan to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the US president is himself insisting that, far from entering the conflict, he is determined to broker an end to it.

“Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, referring to his intervention last month in a brief confrontation between the two South Asian nuclear neighbors over the disputed territory of Kashmir.

The man himself to broker the peace talk between the parties.  Just a thought 

Riots..

If you need proof that the media never intended to tell you the truth about former President Joe Biden’s physical and mental decline, look no further than their coverage of the riots in Los Angeles.

 The unlawful assembly was declared within hours of when the violence first broke out way back on June 6 when the rioters and arsonists initially clashed with federal officers. 

City law enforcement officials deployed tear gas and other crowd control methods that evening in an attempt to disperse the mob. 

Not long afterward, Los Angeles issued a citywide tactical alert, alerting the city’s officers of an all-hands event.

Note that all of this occurred before President Trump had called up the National Guard.

The city’s comically inept mayor, Karen Bass, imposed a curfew and declared a local emergency on June 10.

Tanks U..

 

Toward the end of May, Switzerland moved forward with the sale of 71 Leopard 1A5 tanks to Germany on the condition that they would not be transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The decision seeks to maintain Switzerland’s long-standing position of neutrality, although it represents a shift from previous years’ stricter stance, which had completely opposed such a transaction. 

The move has already been approved by the Swiss Federal Council, the country’s seven-member executive body, which argued that the sale, under these conditions, does not violate Switzerland’s policy of not supplying weapons to countries involved in armed conflicts.

What a decision!!  Just a thought 

Investigated..

The ABC is investigating “serious allegations” that its defense correspondent Andrew Greene filed a story about a German shipbuilder without disclosing that he had traveled to Germany courtesy of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, which is hoping to win Australian navy contracts.

Media Watch revealed that Greene filed a story last week for ABC radio’s The World Today about how business is booming at German shipyards. The report, which has since been taken down, allegedly failed to disclose that the journalist had been a guest of the defense company.

“These are serious allegations, and the ABC is investigating them,” a spokesperson for ABC News said.

What's happening here? How common?

Surrender..

• 

  
  President Donald Trump is considering whether to launch a military strike against Iran as he demands the country’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “surrender” in Tehran’s conflict with Israel, current and former administration officials told NBC News on Tuesday.
• Trump warned Khamenei that the U.S. knows “exactly” where he is “hiding.”
  “Our patience is wearing thin,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
  “He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,” Trump wrote shortly after declaring “total control” over Iran’s airspace.
  “But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers,” he wrote.
  Trump in a subsequent post made clear what he does want from Iran: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!..... Just a thought

Expected..

New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was released from federal custody Tuesday afternoon, hours after he was arrested by officers at immigration court in Manhattan after he tried to escort a migrant whom officers were attempting to arrest.

His arrest is the latest involving a Democratic politician in an immigration-related incident.

Lander, who is running in a crowded Democratic mayoral primary set to take place next week, had been monitoring immigration court activity in the past few days, walking alongside migrants as they exited their court appointments in response to reports that the migrants were being taken into custody by federal agents following court appearances.

Comment:

Was that expected, or came out of the left field?  Just a thought.

Turnaround..

 

New Border Patrol data shows not a single illegal migrant was released into the United States last month, signaling an overwhelming turnaround since 62,000 were released into the country under the Biden administration at the same time last year.

We've said all along that the United States Border Patrol knows how to secure the border. We just need leadership, and with the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are proving exactly what we've been saying for years: Let us enforce the laws, and we'll get the job done."

"I think the American people are seeing that... And we're just getting started. We're not even close to being done."

Comment:
Wonder why the previous administration didn't control this issue?

Arrest..

 

 

The Iranian regime has arrested scores of people across the country for allegedly sharing articles online “in support of the Zionist regime” – accusing them of disrupting the “psychological security of society” – including 60 people in Isfahan, where Israel claims to have targeted a nuclear site.

Since Israeli strikes began Friday, 28 people in the capital have been arrested and accused of spying for Israel, while on Monday, one man arrested on that charge two years ago was hanged in what appeared to be a message to any would-be collaborator.

In Return..

 

Sources told Reuters that Tehran had asked Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia to press U.S. President Donald Trump to use his influence on Israeli Prime Minister to push for an immediate ceasefire.

In return, Iran would show flexibility in nuclear negotiations.

" If President Trump is genuine about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential," Araqchi said on X.

"Israel must halt its aggression, and absent a total cessation of military aggression against us, our responses will continue. It takes one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu."

Asked if he would agree to talks should Trump want that, Netanyahu told reporters that Israel was committed to removing the threats of both nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

Comment:

Problems are created to both countries at this point.   Just a thought.

Smugglers..

 

Texas cops discovered 25 illegal immigrants — including an 11-year-old — “crammed” inside a box truck in the sweltering Texas heat last week — and the alleged smuggler behind the wheel said she was just hauling mattresses, dramatic bodycam footage showed.

They hailed from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, India, Cuba, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. was quickly cuffed.  

She is charged with 25 counts of human smuggling.

Smugglers are desperately trying to find new ways to sneak migrants into the US without getting caught to keep their profits high, Homeland Security sources have told The Post.

Theatre..

 

Democratic representative broke rank within his own party by describing the altercation between law enforcement and Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) on Thursday as “theater.”

Speaking to Axios, Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) weighed in on the intense moment that occurred during a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

“I think that it’s never good when a senator or member of Congress gets roughed up by law enforcement,” Golden told Axios Thursday in an interview at the Capitol.
But, he added: “I don’t think politics as theater is what our job is here.”

Support..

 

Following Isreal’s initiation of air strikes against a wide range of Iranian military, infrastructure and political targets on June 13, Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes later that day. 

Israel Defence Forces have continued to receive a range of support from across the Western world. On the other hand, Iran may not be getting that much of support. 

The United States has actively employed ground based and maritime air defence systems to attempt to blunt Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, and having bolstered Israel’s arms inventories for several months, is expected to resupply its forces if necessary. 

The United Kingdom deployed fighter aircraft to the Middle East to provide greater protection against Iranian drone strikes, while a number of unconfirmed reports indicate that NATO members including Germany are providing aerial refuelling support to allow Israeli fighter aircraft to reach Iranian targets. 

Iran, by contrast, lacks foreign support, with the fall of Syria to Turkish and Israeli backed insurgents in December 2024 having left it isolated in the region, while its primary supplier of ballistic missiles North Korea is not well equipped to make major new equipment deliveries in wartime.

Peace looks very attractive at this and every point.  Just a thought.

Collapsing..

 

NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella stated, “The Democrat Party is collapsing under the weight of its own failures.”

Marinella added, “They’re hemorrhaging support, losing trust, and watching key parts of its coalition walk away at record speed. This is a crisis, and they’re doing themselves no favors.”

In congressional favorability ratings, Republicans have secured a net score of negative 10 percent. Democrats, however, stand at negative 24 percent.

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin noted that the Democrat Party’s effort to improve connection with voters is “complicated, for sure.” He added, “We have a lot to learn still.

The solution seems simple.  South Border, Immigration, Inflation, Law and order, the US Debt, gas prices.  Just a thought.

Chorus..

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., joined the chorus of Democrats criticizing Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem after Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was stopped by Secret Service agents after interrupting a DHS press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Senator Padilla entered a high-security federal facility under false pretenses and crashed an invite-only press conference as law enforcement are working around the clock to calm violent riots," McLaughlin continued. "There’s no excuse for busting into a press conference and interrupting it. Had Senator Padilla asked for a meeting, Secretary Noem would have happily obliged, which she graciously did for 15 minutes after the press conference."

 Are the Democrats avoiding anything related to efficiency, Social Security fraud, Medicaid fraud, illegal criminals in the country?  Just a thought.

Picture..

Cowards

 

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a fiery move within New York's Democratic Party, calling the support of Andrew Cuomo in the 2025 New York City mayoral race by establishment figures an act of "cowardice.

Her comments, made days after she endorsed progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani, are sending shockwaves through local politics just weeks ahead of the June 24 primary.

The congresswoman's remarks highlight the growing divide between the Democratic establishment and the party's insurgent progressive wing. 

With early voting now underway and a ranked-choice system in place, AOC's intervention could shift the balance in one of the most consequential city elections in years.

Tes..

 

Ignorance..

 

Settled..

CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Alex Marquardt left the network on Monday—months after the network settled a defamation suit stemming from his reporting.

CNN settled with defense contractor Zachary Young in January after a Florida jury ruled the network had defamed him in a November 2021 report that alleged he gouged prices for those who sought to flee Afghanistan as the United States withdrew from the country. The jury awarded him $5 million in damages; the network later settled to avoid further punitive damages.

Alex Marquardt produced the story and testified in the network’s defense. Marquardt confirmed on X on Monday that he would leave the network after eight years, though he made no mention of the case.

“Tough to say goodbye but it’s been an honor to work among the very best in the business,” Marquardt wrote. “Profound thank you to my comrades on the National Security team & the phenomenal teammates I’ve worked with in the US and abroad.”

Bionic..

The FBI collared an alleged Los Angeles riot leader who helped distribute dozens of face shields to anti-ICE rioters on the streets of Los Angeles.

The FBI nabbed Alejandro Theodoro Orellan

He faces a charge of conspiracy to commit civil disorders, US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said on X.

Unsettling footage taken Tuesday showed dozens of protesters running toward a truck to grab the “Bionic Shield” face masks, footage shot by Fox11 showed.

Rioters have been taking to the streets since last weekend and have been seen hurling rocks and cement at federal agents, as well as setting cars on fire and blocking highways.

Wonder, people can behave as such, in this great country, and claim they been persecuted in their own country!!!
