“So we fight terrorists, but we have no end games for them, so basically all the terrorists I know that we captured in Pakistan got freed, right? Because they didn't go through the Pakistani judicial system, we diddnt extradite them to the Untied States besides a couple high-level like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, right.? So after like five years, the Pakistani prisons are getting full and they're like, what do you want to do with them, US? Okay, release them. The detainees you picked up in Iraq, re-release them. These ones in Syria are going to get released. The Gitmo detainees, released what? 80% of them plus. So we have no end game for these terrorists, so then we put them back out on the street and then they build the next generation. So we're not actually defeating them, we're just holding them five to seven years and then restarting the entire process again. There is no end game for terrorists.”

According to NBC News, Iran delivered a communiqué to U.S. President Trump through an intermediary at the G7 Summit last week in Canada, threatening to activate sleeper-cell terrorist groups inside the United States if it or its nuclear facilities were attacked. The Trump Administration, as well as federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in key cities across the country, are on high alert for any potential retaliation inside the United States. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement earlier today, warning that the “Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States.”

Iran talks like a superpower—but remember, they’re a paper tiger. Their proxies have targeted U.S. interests overseas, including our troops in the Middle East, but when it comes to the homeland, their plots consistently fail. For everyone panicking, here’s what their retaliation on U.S. soil has actually looked like:

�� 2011: Tried to hire a Mexican cartel to bomb a D.C. café and kill Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir. The “hitman” was a DEA informant. Total clown show.

🔻 2022: Plotted to kill John Bolton (yes, not even quality targeting BTW). Caught before step one.

🔻 2022: Tried to assassinate Masih Alinejad in Brooklyn. Used WhatsApp. FBI shut it down before they even got close. And she trolls the hell out of them! (You go girl!)

🔻 2020–2023: The cyber “war” was actually phishing scams and defacing websites. Laughable.

And let’s not forget Hezbollah’s Unit 910—everyone’s up in arms about them, but they’ve never successfully pulled off a plot here on U.S. soil. NEVER EVER.

Don’t waste time chasing paper tigers. The real threat is al-Qaeda—and if you’re smart, you’ve already been preparing for the bin Laden brothers’ plot on our homeland.

Sure, Iran might try something, but we’ve trained, planned, and hardened for far worse. Everything else? Kid games. We’re a thousand times more capable than anything Iran can throw at us.

And Al-Qaeda should take note—never get comfortable, especially in Afghanistan. We won’t sit idle while you threaten us; let tonight’s bombings in Iran serve as a clear warning. Stay in your sandbox!

“Since the War Powers Act was passed in 1973, several presidents have engaged in military actions against foreign countries without explicit congressional approval,often citing the need for swift action or claiming the actions didn't fall under the resolution's definition of hostilities. These include:

•President Jimmy Carter: The failed Desert One mission to rescue American hostages in Iran in 1980. 

•President Ronald Reagan:Deployments to Lebanon in the early 1980s, the invasion of Grenada in 1983, and military actions in El Salvador. 

•President George H.W. Bush: The invasion of Panama in 1989, though Congress did authorize the use of force in the Persian Gulf War. 

•President Bill Clinton: Military interventions in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Haiti, as well as the bombing campaign in Kosovo in 1999, which continued past the 60-day deadline. 

•President George W. Bush: The initial invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, though Congress later passed authorizations for the use of military force related to these conflicts. 

•President Barack Obama: The military intervention in Libya in 2011, and the subsequent request for congressional authorization for military strikes in Syria, after initially indicating he had the power to act without it. 

•President Donald Trump: The 2020 strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad.

The War Powers Resolution was intended to limit the president's ability to commit troops to conflicts without congressional consent, but its interpretation and enforcement remain contentious. The executive branch has often argued that it has the authority to act in certain situations, while Congress has sought to assert its role in authorizing military action. “

Update:

As I wrap up my third month in the Deputy position in your FBI, I want to update you on some of the actions the Director and I have taken to reform the FBI, while keeping the heat on violent criminals, terrorists, and foreign threat actors.

Some of these action items you may have read about, some you may have not. 

-Operation “Restoring Justice” apprehended 205 child sex predators and 764 purveyors, while rescuing 115 children. Operation “Soteria Shield” resulted in the apprehension of 244 child predators, and 109 children were rescued. This is just the beginning. If you’re preying on children, we are coming for you. 

-We warned those violently acting out in the recent riots that we would not tolerate it, and we would not forget. Over 700 arrests have been made in coordination with our federal and state partners. Many of those arrests are members of organized groups, and we are pouring through data in pursuit of more bad actors. We are not done. We are in the process of identifying and moving in on those who threw rocks at law enforcement officers and damaged property. I told you we would not forget. I wasn’t kidding. Stay tuned for more. 

-We are making progress on a number of high profile cases - including the COVID coverup, the Dobbs leak, the pipe bomb investigation and more. More updates coming.

-We located and apprehended three of the FBI’s top ten “most wanted” and hope to have more updates very soon.

-In conjunction with our federal partners, we apprehended, imprisoned, and deported thousands of illegal aliens. Many of these illegal immigrants had extremely violent criminal histories. We told you that the rioting was not going to slow us down. It has not. We are fully engaged. 

-We made numerous personnel changes to the leadership of the FBI, and we reorganized the structure of the FBI to ensure the mistakes of the past are corrected, penalized, and not repeated. 

-We are closing the FBI headquarters building and moving to an alternate location which will save the taxpayers billions of dollars. We are also moving people out of headquarters assignments and back into operational law enforcement and counter-terror roles. 

-We arrested multiple foreign intelligence targets engaged in illegal activities which presented a danger to the Homeland. Many of these critical cases were covered by the media. Some will not be made public. 

-We are in the process of rolling releases on items of public interest as we add resources to our transparency reform efforts. We completed the JFK files, the RFK files, the China 2020 election IR, and we are rolling out much more on January 6th, Crossfire Hurricane and more. 

-We are rolling out a nationwide summer violent crime crackdown as the murder rate plummets to an all time low. We will not let up. 

-We are making changes to the hiring process, and the physical fitness requirements. We are eliminating DEI and getting the FBI back to its roots - chasing criminals and terrorists. 

-We are remaining hyper-vigilant in protecting the Homeland given the current global climate, while we deal with investigations related to the rioting, the Washington DC murders, the Palm Springs bombing, the Boulder attack, the Minnesota murders, and our daily case work. 

-There’s a lot more work to be done. A lot. Stay tuned on disclosures, and the public corruption fronts. For those who have been patient with us, thank you. For those who are out of patience, thank you too. Believe me, we understand. 

God bless America, and all those who defend Her. 🇺🇸

“❗️IMPORTANT READ❗️

⚠️FOLLOW THE LEADER

NOT HIS CRITICS⚠️

A world without war is not reality, but a nation brainwashed by critics is destined to be enslaved.

FYI, #Israel is overwhelmingly defeating Iran with minimal ramifications. Which is far from the “end times” WWIII propaganda being peddled by grifters puppeteering many in the MAGA community.

Everyone who claims to be conservative out in the la-la-land of social media should take a second and pause your roll.

Before you throw all your critical thinking out the door and rely on every word that comes from the mouths of narcissistic know-it-all libertarians, RINO republicans, main stream media and now, the worst of all, conservative podcast “influencers” who claim to have mysterious “inside knowledge” and who’s narratives have somehow merged with leftists hate of Israel.

Take some time and look up history and do your own research before you come to a conclusion of how President Trump should run things, if you could see what I’ve seen behind the scenes of media, you’d be less open to critical talking heads.

Realize this: We have been in forever wars since WWII because we stopped fighting wars to eliminate an enemy. Instead, we began fighting wars to keep the politicians, military ladder climbers, and military industrial complex rich. This culminated with the Iraq “Weapons of Mass Destruction” fiasco led by the Bush / Cheney one world order mafia.

This war with Iran is not that war and @realDonaldTrump is not that president.

Iran declared war on the U.S. and Israel in 1979, and they’ve been responsible for more American and Jewish deaths than any other nation in modern history.

Overall, Iran is a paper tiger that uses proxies and terrorists to fight their battles and wage war.

However, where they are very proficient is in intelligence and propaganda. Which is why you see elements of Hamas involved in protests in the U.S. aligned with communists. This Red (communist) / Green (Islam) alliance is nothing new and I challenge you to research it.

If we eliminated the ruling regime in Iran and purged the leftists that have infiltrated and control much of our government, 80% of the world’s problems would simply disappear.

This is just a start for research you should do, so study history, think for yourself, and stop relying on celebrity news talking heads and academics spewing word salads to tell you what is truth and what isn’t.”

"Now do the USS Liberty."

Every time Israel comes up, someone mentions the USS Liberty. Hey, even when Israel is not the topic, people bring it up. A lot of folks see it as some kind of ace-in-the-hole that proves without a shadow of a doubt that Israel is a raging enemy of the United States.

So, yeah, let's talk about the USS Liberty.

The USS Liberty was a US Navy technical research ship, which was sailing in the Mediterranean Sea near the Sinai Peninsula on June 8, 1967, two days after the start of the Six-Day War, in which Israel was attacked by a coalition of Arab states including Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon (so all of its neighbors). It was mistakenly attacked by Israeli forces, which mistook it for an enemy Egyptian ship. The attack resulted significant casualties for the US Navy, including 34 killed, 171 wounded, and the ship heavily damaged.

Here's the story:

Several days BEFORE the war started, the Liberty was ordered to proceed to the eastern Mediterranean to perform signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection in international waters near the north coast of Sinai, Egypt. They were initially provided an allowable closest point of approach (CPA) of 12.5 nautical miles (NM) from Egypt and 6.5 NM from Israel, but once the war started they sent follow-on messages increasing those distances to 20 and 15 NM respectively, and again later to 100 NM from both countries, BUT DUE TO INEFFECTIVE MESSAGE HANDLING AND ROUTING, THESE MESSAGES WERE NOT RECEIVED UNTIL AFTER THE ATTACK.

So, the USS Liberty sailed right into the middle of a heavy, active war zone because of poor communication. This was a critical, deadly mistake, leading to the opportunity for further mistakes.

Between 0545 and 0940 the Liberty was spotted multiple times by different Israeli aircraft, and was marked on the Israeli Central Coastal Command (CCC) control table. However, the Liberty was on the move, and at 0545 it had started at 70 NM from Gaza, and later it was about 20 NM from Arish (on the northern coast of Sinai). With the movement of the vessel, and multiple hours without any sighting, it was removed from the CCC control board 1100 due to the positional information being considered out of date.

At 1124 it was reported that Arish was being shelled from the sea. This may have been due to exploding munitions that Egyptian forces had set on fire during their retreat.

Israeli torpedo boats and aircraft were dispatched to the area. Multiple reports were sent back about the Liberty, and it was unfortunately not identified as a US vessel at that time, and there were reports about other vessels coming through at the same time, which may have also been mixed up with reports about the Liberty.

Based on the available information, Israeli forces believed the USS Liberty was an Egyptian destroyer. At 1400 two Israeli Mirage III fighter jets were given permission to engage. They strafed the ship with their 30-mm cannons and rockets. In addition to killing as many as 8, and wounding 75, this initial attack unfortunately severed the ships antennas, and knocked down the flag, making accurate identification of the ship even less likely, and slowing the ability of the ship to communicate.

Over the proceeding 90 minutes there were several more attacks from the air and sea, resulting in significant damage to the Liberty and its crew, before the ship was positively identified as the USS Liberty at 1530.

At 1600, two hours after the attack started, and 30 minutes after its conclusion, Israel informed the US embassy in Tel Aviv that its forces had mistakenly attacked a US Navy ship. At 1640 the Israeli torpedo boats (which had been involved in the attack) returned to help, but were refused. Later Israel also provided a helicopter to fly US naval attache Commander Ernest Carl Castle to the Liberty.

Within hours apologies were sent by Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, Foreign Minister Abba Eban, and charge d'affaires Ephraim Evron to President LBJ. Within 48 hours Israel offered to financially compensate the victims and their families.

This was a tragic incident of friendly fire, which is unfortunately all-too-common in war. Some have suggested over the years that it was an intentional attack by Israel, but there's simply not evidence to support that position, while there is significant evidence to the contrary:

- As soon as Israeli forces positively identified the Liberty, they ceased the attack, and immediately apologized

- Both the US and Israel conducted investigations afterwards concluded the attacks were not intentional

- NSA transcripts later showed that the Israeli personnel communicating about the ship believed it was Egyptian

- The attack happened while Israel was being attacked by multiple enemies, and was literally defending its very existence, which meant decisions had to be made quickly without all of the available information

One point some have made is that survivors of the attack felt like it was intentional. And that's their prerogative. Getting shot at doesn't feel good. It feels intentional, whether it is or not. In the instance where the USS Liberty was getting shot at, at that point it was intentional in the sense that the Israeli forces did not know they were American, but believing them to be Egyptian, they were trying to kill them. But the fact is, many people who experience friendly fire report feeling it is intentional.

And as I mentioned previously, friendly fire events are all-too-common. Here are just a few you might not be aware of:

1. Operation Cobra, Normandy, July 25, 1944 (World War II) - USAAF Eighth Air Force bombers mistakenly bombed US positions near Saint-Lo, France, killing 111, and wounding 490.

2. Gulf War, February 26-27, 1991 (Operation Desert Storm) - Multiple friendly fire incidents occurred resulting 35 Americans killed, 9 British killed, and 72 Americans/22 British wounded across 17 ground and 10 air incidents. One notable incident involved a US A-10 firing Maverick missiles on British armored vehicles.

3. Sicily Campaign, July 11, 1943 (World War II) - US anti-aircraft gunners fired on a formation of US C-47 transport planes carrying paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division, downing several aircraft, and killing between 23 and 37 troops (estimates vary), and wounding at least 60.

War is Hell, and friendly fire is part of that Hell. Multiple errors led to the USS Liberty being attacked, but the biggest was the failure in communication that resulted in the Liberty sailing right into the middle of an active warzone. That error cannot be underplayed.

However, the USS Liberty incident is a far cry from the "headshot" argument for why Israel is an evil enemy of the United States. Using it as such as frankly childish. It's baseless. And it's quite easily refuted if you simply look at what happened and weigh the evidence rationally.

Haters will read this and call me a "Zionist Shill" who "got the phone call" and on, and on, and on, but the truth is I just care about the truth. And no amount of baseless insults will ever change that.
