Month: April 2024

The feared night of Iranian attacks against Israel came and went – and many are left with the feeling that it could have been much worse and the fear that perhaps it will still be.

To retaliate against the air raid against its embassy in Damascus that killed 7 IRGC officers, Iran launched a massive attack that has been estimated to have consisted of 185 drones, 110 surface-to-surface missiles, and 36 cruise missiles in their attack on Israel.

The result of the attacks seems not to have been as terrible as could have been expected, with the missile defenses and the interception by military fighters having worked remarkably well, prompting feeble US President Joe Biden to tell Netanyahu that he should consider tonight’s events a ‘win’ for Israel.

The most damaging missile arrivals seem to have taken place in Nabatim air force base in Negev Desert.

The air base was hit by at least 15 missiles last night, but it seems that it still operational, despite reports from Arab media that claim otherwise. Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) published a video of the landing of a F-35 Hadir Fighter jet from the sky defense mission.

The F-35 flew a 7-hour-long wave of sorties intercepting and downing Iranian UAVs and missiles over Jordan, Syria, and Israel.

Iranians took to the streets to celebrate what they saw as a great achievement over their sworn enemy.

Meanwhile, Israel has declared that it will respond and is already debating military options, which include long-range strikes on military bases or even nuclear installations in Iran.

It is estimated that Israel spent half a billion dollars in just a few hours in the defense against the attack.

According to Israeli sources, Israel will retaliate against Iran ‘in the next 48 hours’.

‘The next slap is louder. Your next mistake will be the end of your fake country’.

Meanwhile, a poster appears in Tehran with the following threat: ‘The next slap is louder. Your next mistake will be the end of your fake country’.

It bears reminding that Israel still hasn’t completed its military operation against Hamas, so engaging in a wider, more dangerous war seems unadvisable.

There is also a very real and tangible fear in the Biden administration that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu may be aiming to draw the US into a regional war.

While the U.S. military shot down a good portion of the drones fired from Iran using assets in Erbil, Iraq, Gulf States, and everything under CENTCOM, it has already announced that it will have nothing to do with any further attacks on Iranian territory.

But whatever Biden says, there is a danger it will be sucked into a real apocalyptic war, in its duplicitous position of defending Israel while simultaneously releasing billions of dollars of blocked funds to Iran a mere month before the attack.

While our worst fears have not materialized – yet – there’s no denying that an immense escalation just occurred. The world is more dangerous by the day, and no one is happy about it – but the Military Industrial complex.

Joe Biden’s America.

CBP data released shows that under crooked Joe Biden, 404,000 illegals have been flown into the US under the regime’s CHNV parole program.

This program allows people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to apply for “humanitarian parole” in the United States and allows them to pursue employment. The cost of the flight is paid either by the individual or a sponsor and allows for up to a two-year stay.

Since these illegals are flown into the US, the numbers are not included in the border statistics.

Looking at the approximate breakdown for each country, 84,000 are from Cuba. 154,000 are from Haiti, 69,000 are from Nicaragua, and 95,000 are from Venezuela.

This will add to the already out-of-control border crisis. ICE currently does not have the resources to pursue individuals who stay past their allowed stay. Currently, the DHS does not see them as a priority for removal.

To make matters even worse, the government of Venezuela does not cooperate in deportations and will make it very difficult for any of its citizens to return home.

NEW: CBP just released new data which reveals 404,000 migrants have now been flown directly into the U.S. under the Biden admin’s CHNV parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, & Venezuelans, which grants the recipients two years of humanitarian parole in the U.S. and…

On “Meet the Press” in February, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas showed that he had no interest in securing the border or dealing with any illegal immigration for that matter. He has continually deflected the issue and refused to take responsibility for the border crisis.

“Do you bear responsibility for what is happening at the border?” Kristin Welker asked.

“We don’t bear responsibility for a broken system,” Mayorkas continued.

The border crisis has reached catastrophic proportions, with an estimated 10 to 12 million illegal aliens invading the US.

That number equals about the population of 41 individual states.

The CHNV parole program just makes the situation even worse.

President Biden is facing an uphill battle for a second term in the White House.

But this latest news is probably going to send his campaign into a panic.

A report by the Daily Caller shows that Democratic voter registrations have dropped in Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania  — three hotly contested states in the 2020 election.

While Democrats still hold a voter registration advantage over Republicans in all three states, the gaps have shrunk significantly.

According to Pennsylvania state election data and reported by the Daily Caller, Democrats have lost 336,269 registered voters in the state since Nov. 3, 2020. Democrats still hold a nearly 400,000 voter registration advantage over Republicans, though this a sharp decline from the 685,818 lead Democrats held going into the last presidential election.

In North Carolina, Democrats saw a decrease of 212,084 voters from December 2020 to April 2024. Democrats now only outnumber Republicans by 170,943 voters, a decrease of over 200,000 voters since 2020.

The numbers in Nevada were less staggering, with Democrats losing only 27,757 voters since December 2020. The Democratic majority in registrations over Republicans has shrunk from 96,875 in 2020, to 55,116 today.

All in all, Democrats have lost 576,110 voters in the three states combined.

According to CNN, Fewer than 200,000 combined votes decided the winner in these states in 2020. Biden won Pennsylvania by a little under 81,660 votes, and Nevada by 33,596. Former president Trump won the Tar Heel state by 74,483 votes.

Biden will need a massive turnout in each of three states if he wants any shot at victory.

The latest RealClearPolitics polling averages show Trump holding a 4.0-point lead in North Carolina, and a 3.2-point lead in Nevada. Biden is currently edging out Trump in Pennsylvania by 0.1 points.

However, while these figures are surely not what the Biden campaign wants to hear, Republican strategist Scott Jennings is cautioning people to “not over read” the data, according to the Daily Caller.

“But certainly Biden has a real problem on his hands among many segments and you can clearly see that in these results,” Jennings added. “The trick, of course, is that once people are registered, then you have to turn them out.”

A recent analysis performed by the Pew Research Center showed that the nation is basically split when it comes to overall voter registration, with 49 percent of voters registered as Democrats compared to 48 percent who are registered as Republicans.

While Jennings is right to caution Republican optimism, recent history has shown that swings in voter registrations can be very beneficial for Republicans.

Take Florida, for example. According to the Florida Division of Elections, from 2018 to 2022, Democrats only lost 47,727 registered voters. They also lost the voter registration advantage they held over Republicans.

Despite the modest gains, Republicans swept the floor in the 2022 gubernatorial election, with incumbent governor Ron DeSantis defeating Democratic challenger Charlie Crist by 1,507,897 votes, or 19.4 percent.

The shift really had to do with the man on the ballot. DeSantis’ actions during the pandemic and refusal to cower in the face of wokeness turned him into one of the most popular governors in the country.

If Trump wants to capitalize on these shifts away from the Democrats, he needs to make this election about the other man on the ballot.

While Trump does not have the surging popularity DeSantis had in 2022, he is running against a widely unpopular incumbent. According to RealClearPolitics, Biden’s latest approval rating average currently sits at 40.6 percent.

Gallup reported in February that Biden’s approval rating for his third year in office was a mere 39.8 percent, the second lowest approval for a president’s third year in the Gallup polling era. Only Jimmy Carter’s 37.4 percent was worse than Biden’s.

Carter went on to be destroyed in the 1980 general election by Ronald Reagan, suffering one of the worst defeats in presidential election history.

If Trump wants to replicate the outcome of the 1980 election, he has to make the focus of the campaign about Biden’s presidency.

Every speech, every event, every rally needs to be about how Biden has failed to deliver on anything he promised in 2020, and emphasize that Americans are worse off under Biden than they were under Trump.

And it’s not a difficult argument to make: Americans are paying more across the board for goods and services, housing and gas now than they were under Trump. Biden has made life more difficult for Americans, not better.

If Trump can stick to these points, he should have no problem winning over these ex-Democrats in November.

Iranian regime chants “Death to Isreal! Death to America!” following unprecedented airstrike on Israel.

The Iranian Parliament celebrated “Operation Truthful promise” on Sunday following the unprecedented airstrike from Iranian soil on the state of Israel.

Iran fired off an estimated 150 missiles along with 50-100 drones in an attack from Iranian soil on the state of Israel.

Israel announced that 99% of Iran’s missiles were taken down and did not reach their target.

This was the first time the Iranian regime fired on Israel directly – typically Iran uses its affiliates of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi rebels in Yemen to do their dirty work.

Following the attacks, Iranian lawmakers chanted, “Death to Israel! Death to America!” from the floor of parliament.

The far-left New York Times has admitted that growing numbers of voters are looking back “more positively” on Donald Trump’s presidency as the Biden administration continues to fail at everything it does.

In an article published Sunday, the Times conceded that voters have a “rosier picture” of Trump’s tenure when compared with Biden, particularly on issues such as immigration, the economy and law and order.

The paper reported:

Views of Donald J. Trump’s presidency have become more positive since he left office, bolstering his case for election and posing a risk to President Biden’s strategy of casting his opponent as unfit for the presidency, according to a new poll by The New York Times and Siena College.

While the memories of Mr. Trump’s tumultuous and chaotic administration have not significantly faded, many voters now have a rosier picture of his handling of the economy, immigration and maintaining law and order. Ahead of the 2020 election, only 39 percent of voters said that the country was better off after Mr. Trump took office. Now, looking back, nearly half say that he improved things during his time as president.

The poll’s findings underscore the way in which a segment of voters have changed their minds about the Trump era, recalling those years as a time of economic prosperity and strong national security.

It goes on to note that more voters ultimately believe that Trump’s leadership was “better for the country” than the current Biden regime.

Many voters still remember Mr. Trump as a divisive and polarizing figure, giving him low ratings on race relations and unifying the country. Yet, a larger share of voters see Mr. Trump’s term as better for the country than the current administration, with 42 percent rating the Trump presidency as mostly good for the country compared with 25 percent who say the same about Mr. Biden’s. Nearly half say the Biden years have been mostly bad for the country.

The piece does not make mention of Joe Biden’s catastrophic foreign policy failures. On Saturday evening, Iran launched a series of drone attacks towards Israel as tensions threatened to boil over across the Middle East.

While Joe Biden went to bed, Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania where he blamed Biden for the ongoing conflict. “I want to say God Bless the people of Israel, they are under attack right now, that’s because we show great weakness,” he exclaimed. This would not happen, the weakness that we’ve shown is unbelievable and it would not have happened if we were in office, you know that, they know that, and everybody knows that.”

A Haiti that exists mostly in the elegant salons of the Caribbean Community CARICOM is trying to implement an unelected nine-member transitional presidential council after repeated promises.

The problem with that is that the real Haiti that exists on the street level is completely removed from the proceedings, and the unabated violence makes it unlikely that the musings of the elegant leaders will ever become a reality.

Whatever remains of Haiti’s government has finally formalized the creation of the transitional council, a long-delayed move intended to be the first step towards restoring some semblance of security and order to the gang-ravaged Caribbean country.

To give an idea of how hard that will be, the names of the new council members have not even been announced since it would amount to a death sentence for them – the leader of the rebel gangs that control 80% of the capital Port-au-Prince, Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Chérizier, has threatened them and their families.

A time frame for installing the council and replacing outgoing Prime Minister Ariel Henry is also not divulged.

Reuters reported:

“Indicating the unelected Henry will initially retain oversight of proceedings, the decree allows the current prime minister to make the “necessary arrangements” ahead of the new appointments. Those chosen must then “participate, in agreement with the prime minister, in the formation of an inclusive ministers’ cabinet.”

It calls on the council to help speed the deployment of international troops Henry requested in 2022 to aid police in their battles with armed and increasingly powerful gangs.”

Almost 100k people have fled Port-au-Prince in the last month alone. Basic goods are lacking, as key ports remain closed.

“The decree, published in Haiti’s official gazette, names the nine political parties or social sectors to be represented on the council, including two non-voting observers, confirming an announcement made last month.”

The government’s decree stipulates that the council will be headquartered in the National Palace – a building that has come repeatedly under fire in the past weeks.

After the decree was published, it was ‘business as usual’: more gun fights took place, with a police officer shot dead.

It could still take quite some time before the council is installed, given the difficulties of processing legal documents.

“‘It could be very difficult’, [former justice minister Camille] LeBlanc told Reuters, adding that while he doubted the council’s prospects, he supported it if it could move the country past the current deadlock, help reopen ports and bring essential food supplies to a country facing acute hunger.

‘To declare the transition council must ‘rapidly’ name a prime minister is utopian’, added.”

Many believe that the outgoing Prime Minister Ariel Henry – who can’t even manage to return to the country, is disrupting the implementation of the Council process in order to hold onto power.

CARICOM leaders welcomed the new decree, reiterating the need ‘to urgently address the security situation’ so that schools and businesses can reopen and people can travel freely and access basic supplies.

It’s now gone a few years since the British left the EU, in part because they didn’t like all the restrictions and rules that they were coming up with.

Now there is a new rule.

People will be banned from starting bonfires in their garden to burn garden waste such as grass, leafs and sticks.

This is because the new law requires that food and organic waste be sorted and recycled.

Meaning that people who are tending their garden will have to either compost their garden waster or deliver it in for recycling.

In Scandinavia it is tradition in the spring where homeowners tend their garden and start bonfires to burn up garden waste, which will now be banned.

What’s next, will they ban wood stoves too? Probably sooner or later…

So what if you are grilling and want to use sticks or wood from your garden on to fire up the grill? Looks like that will be illegal now, because garden waste must be recycled.

As far as I’m aware, I’m the only one reporting on this new law in English so far, so if you appreciate my work, please consider helping me out by becoming a paid subscriber.

Iranian Missile – via IRNA

On Sunday the Iranian regime bragged that their massive drone and missile attack inflicted major damage on Israel.

The regime insisted that their attack was in conformity with international law.

And the mullahs said the attack was more successful than expected.

The Iranian Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported:

The Israeli regime suffered some $100 million worth of damage only in the early hours of Iranian missile and drone attacks on Sunday, according to reports from media outlets in the Israeli-occupied territories.

The reports cited by the Lebanon-based al-Mayadeen TV channel on Sunday said that the damage on Israel had been inflicted mostly on the regime’s missile defense systems as they were trying to intercept drones and missiles fired from Iran.

Israel’s Channel 14 said that several missiles had hit Arad, located 45 kilometers from Be’er Sheva, in the south of the occupied territories, injuring several people.

Several missiles also hit the Umm al-Fahm city in the north of the occupied territories, causing rescue workers and medics to rush to the scene.

Several other missiles hit the Negev desert in south of the Israeli-occupied lands.

Iran’s elite IRGC military forces said in a statement in the early hours of Sunday that it had fired dozens of missiles and drones at areas controlled by the Israeli regime.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said the warriors of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) taught the Zionist regime “an unforgettable lesson” with their drone and missile operation.

On Sunday Iran launched an unprecedented missile and drone attack against Israel from Iranian soil.

Joe Biden and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei

In November 2023, the Joe Biden administration extended a sanctions waiver that allows Iran to collect another $10 billion in funds to assist the mullahs in funding their military operations in the region.

This comes one week after Iranian-backed Houthis attempted to shoot down a US drone in the region and one month after Iran-backed Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,300 Jews in Israel and took another 240 Jews hostage.

It was the deadliest attack on Jews since World War II.

Joe Biden ignored the massacre to open the door and help Iran bring in another $10 billion in the next few months.

The AP reported:

The Biden administration has extended by four months a sanctions waiver that will allow Iraq to continue to purchase electricity from Iran and gives Iran limited access to the proceeds to buy humanitarian goods.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed the 120-day waiver extension and it was transmitted to Congress on Tuesday, U.S. officials said. The move is likely to draw criticism from Iran hawks on Capitol Hill and elsewhere who believe the extension will reward Iran at a time when it is coming under increasing pressure to end its support for proxy groups, including Hamas, that are destabilizing the Middle East.

There is roughly $10 billion in Iraqi payments for Iranian electricity currently being held in escrow accounts in Iraq, and the waiver will allow Baghdad to maintain its energy imports without fear of U.S. penalties for violating sanctions on Iran.

Joe Biden has now gifted the Iranian regime with $80 billion since entering the White House.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) told FOX News a month ago in October that Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave $3.5 billion to Iran through the International Monetary Fund several months ago.

This was not part of the $6 billion that Biden had also gifted the Iranian mullahs.

Senator John Kennedy: Several months ago, it wasn’t well publicized, President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave Iran $3.5 billion through the International Monetary Fund. That’s not the $6 billion that we have objected to. $3.6 billion dollars cash. I’ll be glad to come on your show and explain how they did that. I objected to it at the time. I tried to pass a bill to stop it. They rolled over me. The press didn’t pick it up. But here’s the problem we face right now, the time to build the ark is before the rain.

But the $3.5 billion and $6 billion may only be part of Joe Biden’s cash for Iran.

Senator Kennedy spoke out about another transfer of money to the Iranian regime back in 2021. In a letter to Janet Yellen, Kennedy argued that the Biden administration’s plan would ultimately result in China receiving $22 billion, Russia receiving $18 billion, and Iran receiving $3.5 billion.

But that’s not all; according to The Daily Signal’s calculations, Iran has received approximately $70 billion more under Biden than it would have under Trump.

The mullahs must love Joe Biden. No one has been more generous to this killer regime.

They ought to build statues of Old Joe in Tehran.

On top of that, Israel faces a new challenge by the Biden-Obama threat.

Israel now faces the threat of a Biden-Obama-backed color revolution in the middle of its war against the Hamas barbarians and now the Iranian mullahs.

This chaos we are witnessing today was not by accident.  This is all part of the Biden-Obama plan.

On Saturday, we asked The Gateway Pundit readers for help to reunite J6er Isaac Thomas with his beloved dog Izzy, and you, dear readers, came through again and raised the funds needed within a few hours.

Isaac has been seperated from Izzy for eight months while he was in the DC Gulag.  In February, he was released from the Washington Correctional Treatment to await trial, and his quest to be reunited with Izzy began.

Isaac sent the following note to thank you for making it possible to get Izzy back by his side during an absolutely brutal, emotional, and difficult time after the Biden regime has left him with nothing.

During his confinement, two generous J6ers, Jalise and Mark Middleton, took care of Isaac’s beloved dog Izzy.

Unfortunately, they were found guilty and will be sentenced in May. So they could no longer take care of Izzy.  This left Isaac afraid that he would lose Izzy forever.

On Saturday The Gateway Pundit readers raised over $10,000 for Isaac to be reunited with Izzy!  THANK YOU!

Isaac wrote to TGP:

I would like to give a huge thank you to Jalise and Mark Middleton of American Patriot Relief for taking care of Izzy for me during my time in the DC Gulag. They did an amazing job making sure she was happy and taken care of.

Please keep Jalise and Mark in your prayers as they prepare for their sentencing next month. They are amazing Patriots who deserve so much better than this. I’m sure Izzy will miss them and miss Texas!!

Who knows, maybe we’ll get to go back someday when all of this is over and visit.

And thank you to The Gateway Pundit and their readers for continuing to support the J6ers.

You guys really are our biggest supporters!

Thank you guys for supporting me and my family!

God Bless all of you.
