Lead: Israel To Attack Iran
Photo credit: The Washington Post
The Washington Post says that Israel is likely to bomb Iran in the coming months, with the implied blessing of the U.S.
A spokesman for the White House National Security Council, Brian Hughes, said that President Trump “prefers negotiating a resolution to American’s long-standing issues with the Iranian regime peacefully, [but] he will not wait indefinitely if Iran isn’t willing to deal, and soon.”
He also said that the President “has made it clear: He will not permit Iran to get a nuclear weapon.”
The President promised that he would work to avoid any escalation in the Middle East so this is…new. The reported plan of Israel to bomb Iran was reportedly known by intelligence agencies since January when President Biden was still in office. The plan involved the U.S. “providing support in the form of aerial refueling as well as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, said those familiar with the document.”
Can we not do that? The Ayatollah said many times that it was willing to speak with President Biden. Surely they can speak with President Trump too.
Last week President Trump said this about bombing Iran: “I would like a deal done with Iran on non-nuclear. I would prefer that to bombing the hell out of it. They don’t want to die. Nobody wants to die. If we made the deal, Israel wouldn’t bomb them.”
President Trump says that has spoken with Russian President Putin and that the phone call was “lengthy and highly productive.”
He says that they agreed to “have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation.”
Notice he is speaking of a peace deal and Zelensky is not being asked. He’s being told. Because Zelensky has no say here and never did.
On Wednesday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the United States does not plan to deploy troops to defend Ukraine as part of any peace deal and that a peace deal will NOT involve Russia giving back the territory of people who voted to become Russia. He also said that “the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement.”
To save face, Zelensky said on X that he is in talks with President Trump and that he believes that “America’s strength, together with Ukraine and all our partners, is enough to push Russia to peace.”
What a dolt! He passed laws preventing himself from going to peace talks with Russia. Russia has offered peace talks since the war began.
President Trump also said that he discussed with President Putin “visiting each other’s Nations.” That is inconceivable! To have a diplomatic relationship with Russia again that could include visits with heads of state! To think we were on the verge of nuclear war just four months ago!

United States versus New York State

The federal government announced a lawsuit against the state of New York, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New York AG Letitia James and Department of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Mark Schroeder over the sanctuary status of New York. This was announced by Attorney General Pamela Bondi on Wednesday.
“This is a new DOJ,” Bondi said. “New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today. As you know, we sued Illinois and New York didn’t listen so now you’re next.
The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) issued a statement in response to the lawsuit, saying: “This filing is yet another Trump administration attempt to shamelessly weaponize the Department of Justice to intimidate political opponents and exert improper political pressure.” They added that it “represent a gross intrusion into New York’s constitutional right to legislate in areas traditionally within its concern.”
The NYCLU is presumably not named in the case but no doubt they will insert themselves.
Bondi warned that New York is only one state on her radar, saying: “If you don’t comply with federal law, we will hold you accountable. If you are a state not complying with federal law, you’re next, get ready.”

Gold Bars Off the Titanic
Photo credit: The Epoch Times
The Department of Government Efficiency claims to have made over $3.4 billion in spending cuts so far. The Epoch Times complied a list of some of the more interesting ones above.
Lee Zeldin, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, says that after he was confirmed, he directed his staff to find hidden money that had been funneled through the EPA by the Biden administration and they found it!
“An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago of a Biden political appointee talking about how they were ‘tossing gold bars off the Titanic,” Zeldin said, referring to this video where a Biden employee talked about funneling money into nonprofits, states, tribes. Tribes?
Zeldin continues: “The gold bars were tax dollars and tossing them off the Titanic meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it.”
My awesome team at the EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and it was purposefully designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight. Even further, this pot of $20 billion was awarded to just 8 entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency.”
This push of tax dollars to NGOs is a disturbing trend but not new. The National Endowment for Democracy is one of the oldest and worst offenders, responsible for stirring up regime change and color revolutions around the world and now they are reportedly on the chopping block too. Some controlled opposition say that this is sad but you should shed no tears for the NED. They are a front for the CIA.
There are so many tunnels to dig like this of where our tax dollars are spent and we have a feeling this will keep us busy all year. President Trump said on Wednesday that he would hold a press conference on Thursday. “I’m going to read to you some of the names that hundreds of MILLIONS and even BILLIONS of dollars have been given to.”
Okay…we’re listening.
