MAJOR BREAKING: CNN drops the bombshell news that a U.S. intelligence assessment has discovered that Donald Trump’s illegal bombing of three Iranian sites failed to destroy the “core components” of the country’s nuclear program.

Trump’s premature victory lap will go down as a historic embarrassment…

According to the new report, Trump’s claim that the targets were “completely and fully obliterated” was patently false. He was so eager to claim a victory for his braying MAGA base that he totally jumped the gun.

The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency has concluded that the strikes likely only set Iran’s nuclear program back by a few months, an utterly meaningless delay in geopolitical terms. The assessment was based on battle damage surveyed in the wake of the strike.

Four sources familiar with the assessment spoke to CNN. Two of them stated that Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile survived the bombings. Another stated that the centrifuges remain mostly “intact.”

NBC News previously reported that the “extent of the damage to the deeply buried facility at Fordo” as well as the sites at Isfahan and Natanz has yet to be determined. According to that report, roughly 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium is still “publicly unaccounted for.”

The New York Times reports that the uranium in question could be enough to make nine or ten atomic bombs.

The Trump administration is already scrambling to do damage control.

“This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program,” she added. “Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

It’s worth noting that the House and Senate were supposed to receive classified briefings on the strikes today but those briefings were canceled. The Senate briefing has been rescheduled for Thursday. The obvious conclusion is that Trump doesn’t want Congress to know that his attacks failed until he’s had time to spin up a new narrative.

“Trump just cancelled a classified House briefing on the Iran strikes with zero explanation. The real reason? He claims he destroyed ‘all nuclear facilities and capability;’ his team knows they can’t back up his bluster and BS,” Congressman Pat Ryan wrote on X.

This is textbook Trump. He doesn’t care about reality, he cares about driving media cycles and projected a fabricated reality to his followers. It doesn’t matter to him if the nuclear facilities were actually destroyed as long as he can claim that they were.

SABRINA CARPENTER — "Manchild"

[ghosts-in-the-studio]

The California Governor can activate the National Guard to enforce California law or act to reinforce LA Police, by request of that Mayor, at the Governor’s sole discretion. It’s about State Law.

The President may activate that National Guard or Federal Troops to federal service without a Governors consent if he declares it an Insurrection under the Federal Insurrection Act, with the documented notice to Congress, to put down an insurrection against federal laws. It’s about Federal Law.

The sticky part is that a President does such a declaration of Insurrection, with a clear goal to all, the Congress, the State and Governor, the Mayor of that City and assumes direct command, subject to the UCMJ.

The Insurrection better be identifiable, the objective to enforce certain Federal laws being noticeably violated be indicated, and the Governor, Mayor and Police proven to be unable to control the situation.

In simplest form, them’s the rules, folks.

The US Government has history and precedent in putting down insurrection, but it’s been a near or real combat situation.

Failure to identify in that declaration the cited federal laws being noticeably restored can lead to charges under UCMJ. It’s not a frivolous document.
