Joe Biden’s presidency was such an unmitigated disaster that we are all trying to forget it,  apparently, even Democrats.

In an Easter message, rather than using an image for the most recent Democrat in the White House to remember “better times” they had to go back a decade and trot out Barack Obama.

The post garnered questions but the official social media account for the Democrats stayed mum.

“They keep skipping Biden….”

Perhaps it was Biden’s “blasphemous” proclamation of Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility?

Maybe they don’t want us to remember when the Easter Bunny had to intervene and redirect a confused Biden.

But who can actually forget the damage the Biden administration did to our country?

Biden’s open border allowed more than 11 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age males – to cross over the border, unleashing catastrophic economic implications and rampant crime.

Free speech was smothered, as shown in a House Judiciary Committee’s investigation, which has exposed what may be the largest government-coordinated censorship operation in U.S. history.

Over two years, the committee has documented how federal agencies, major corporations, universities, and even foreign governments colluded to silence conservative voices, manipulate public discourse, and erode the First Amendment, what investigators now call the “Censorship-Industrial Complex.”

The attack on free speech was dramatically highlighted in Missouri v. Biden, widely regarded by experts as one of the most important free speech cases in recent history. After years of litigation, with The Gateway Pundit’s founder and publisher Jim Hoft serving as the lead plaintiff, the case was ultimately settled between the government and the plaintiffs.

In what may be one of the most devastating foreign policy failures in modern U.S. history, President Joe Biden’s reckless 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan did not simply leave a power vacuum; it handed America’s enemies one of the largest unauthorized arms transfers in history leaving billions of dollars in U.S. weapons and equipment are in the hands of terrorists, black market arms dealers, and hostile regimes.

The withdrawal also cost 13 brave service members their lives

Under Biden, there was a “historic surge” in corporate bankruptcies across the United States.

Democrats might want us to forget about Joe Biden, but the damage his administration did continues to impact Americans for years to come.

Trump Won’t Rule Out Boots on the Ground in Iran — Says Troops ‘Not Necessary Right Now’ but EVERYTHING Is on the Table

President Donald Trump is making one thing crystal clear, while he believes U.S. troops on the ground in Iran are not necessary right now, absolutely nothing is off the table as tensions escalate and the clock ticks down on Tehran.

In remarks to ABC News, Trump delivered a blunt message to the Iranian regime: make a deal, or face devastating consequences.

“If it happens, it happens. And if it doesn’t, we’re blowing up the whole country,” Trump said.
“Very little” is off limits, he added.

Trump dismissed earlier timelines suggesting a longer runway for negotiations, instead signaling that events could reach a decisive conclusion imminently.

“It should be wrapped up in days, not weeks,” Trump said.
“No sane group of people could stand the punishment that’s going to rain down on them if it’s not.”

While Trump emphasized that U.S. ground troops are not currently necessary, he refused to tie his hands, leaving open the possibility of escalation if diplomacy fails.

“I don’t think it’s necessary, but I don’t rule anything out.”

It can be recalled that last month, President Trump was reportedly weighing the deployment of ground troops to Iran along the coast of the Strait of Hormuz or Kharg Island.

Citing four sources, Reuters reports that thousands of ground troops could be deployed to secure the Strait of Hormuz, take over Iran’s oil-exporting capabilities on Kharg Island, or to contain Iran’s highly ​enriched uranium stockpile. However, a ground invasion is likely not imminent.

“There has been no decision to send ground troops at this time, but President Trump wisely keeps all options at his disposal,” one Trump Administration official said.

“The ​president is focused on achieving all of the defined objectives of Operation Epic Fury: destroy Iran’s ballistic missile capacity, annihilate their navy, ensure their terrorist proxies cannot destabilize the region, and guarantee that Iran can never ​possess a nuclear weapon.”

Meanwhile, it’s being reported that Israel will not commit any ground troops to the potential mission.

Per JFeed:

Channel 12 quoted official sources as stating explicitly: “In case of a U.S. ground operation in Iran, Israeli soldiers will not be participating on the ground.”

X Users Light Up Barack Obama After He Neglects to Mention Something Very Important in His Easter Message

Former President Barack Obama reminded Americans on Easter Sunday why he was known as “The Great Divider” during his presidency and why he prompted people to question his faith.

As TGP readers know, Easter is the most holy day for Christians. They use this day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his ascension into Heaven three days after he was crucified and descended into Hell.

He died for us all so we could be saved.

Obama posted what, at first glance, appears to be a harmless Easter message wishing people a “joyful holiday.”

“To everyone celebrating Easter, Michelle and I wish you a joyful holiday filled with reminders of the enduring power of faith and hope,” Obama wrote.

But notice what Obama neglected to include? Any mention of Jesus Christ and his Resurrection.

After all, He is the reason for Easter.

X users were in no mood to let Obama off the hook, even on this holy day.

Iran War Enters 37th Day: Airman Rescued, Trump Reiterates Threat to Civilian Infrastructure

Posted on by patriotsheart

The Iran War entered its 37th day Sunday as President Donald Trump doubled down on the 48-hour ultimatum he issued yesterday, writing in a Truth Social post that “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.” 

“Open the F*ckin’ Strait, you crazy b*stards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” added Trump.

An advisor to Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Mahdi Mohammadi, said Saturday that Iran’s list of regional retaliations is not yet complete, but that operations are being carried out “according to a plan.” 

“We have a goal that must be achieved, and the war will not end until that time,” he said. “Trump’s problems are not our concern.”

Addressing Trump’s threats to bomb Iranian infrastructure unless the Strait of Hormuz is opened, Mohammadi said that Trump “knows that no military action is capable of opening the strait, and the only way to open it is through an agreement with Iran.” He added that “Iran has no interest in reaching an agreement with him, and this means a planned deadlock!”

Overnight, U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15E shot down over Iran. The F-15E was shot down over Iran on Friday, triggering two separate combat search-and-rescue operations: one recovered the pilot the same day, while a second extracted the aircraft’s weapons systems officer last night. An additional fighter jet, a U.S. A-10, was shot down Friday near the Strait of Hormuz and the pilot was also rescued. Air & Space Forces, citing a source familiar with the operation, claimed that U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones were active in the rescue of the F-15E crew member, striking all Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of the downed airman.

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that two Lockheed Martin MC-130J planes got stuck in the mud while on the search-and-rescue operation and that the U.S. military had to blow them up in order to prevent their capture. Each plane costs more than $100 million. Iran’s Tasnim News Agency published photos of aircraft wreckage, including what they said were the remnants of two Black Hawk helicopters. Iranian state media Sunday aired a televised interview with a tribesman in southwestern Iran who said he helped shoot down a Black Hawk helicopter.

The Foreign Ministry of Oman said that they met with Iran on Saturday to discuss proposals for “ensuring the smooth flow of transit” through the Strait of Hormuz. A tanker carrying about 1 million barrels of Iraqi Basrah heavy crude transited the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, after Iran exempted Iraqi cargos from its restrictions.

Abu Dhabi authorities said fires broke out at the Borouge petrochemical plant after debris from intercepted aerial threats struck the site, forcing an immediate suspension of operations, though no injuries were reported.

An Iranian missile struck near Israel’s Neot Hovav industrial zone near Beersheba on Sunday. Israeli authorities claimed minor damage but no injuries or hazardous material leaks. The strike comes a day after Israel hit a major petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, southwestern Iran.

France 24 reported on Saturday that it had geolocated and verified multiple videos showing U.S.-made HIMARS launches from Kuwaiti territory into Iran on March 24 and March 31. Kuwait previously publicly denied involvement. 

Trump said in a phone interview with Fox News’ Trey Yingst on Sunday that the United States attempted to arm anti-government protesters in Iran earlier this year. “We sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them,” he said, but added that he does not believe those weapons ever reached the intended recipients.

The Daily Mail Sparks Internet Outrage After Posting this Vile Tweet and Article Concerning the Incredible Rescue of F-15 Pilot – Team Trump Responds with FIRE

The media is unsurprisingly playing down last night’s heroic rescue of the 2nd F-15 pilot in Iran, even right-leaning outlets.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the second pilot/WSO from the downed F-15 fighter jet on Friday was saved in an on-ground US rescue mission Saturday night, which involved an epic and grueling battle with Iranian forces.

The pilot was successfully rescued and exfiltrated following an intense firefight. He was injured after ejecting himself from the F-15 but is now safe.

Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin revealed that no Americans were killed during the operation. The Fox News journalist additionally noted that different branches of the US military were involved in the rescue.

“It was a very complex operation to retrieve the downed service member,” a well-placed source told Griffin.

But The Daily Mail, a ‘right-leaning’ outlet, posted a tweet that sparked an Internet firestorm, with an angle the Democratic National Committee would envy.

“Trump’s daring extraction of US airman trapped in Iran almost failed and cost dozens of American lives,” the tweet reads.

Below the message is a link to an almost equally vile article.

LOOK:

X users celebrating the mission went off on the Daily Mail for its ridiculous post and article.

No one should be surprised to learn that the author of the article, Tom Lawrence, is a devout Trump-hater.

Team Trump later weighed in, calling the Daily Mail “sick freaks”

Mike Benz: ‘NATO Doesn’t Have Tanks Because They Spent Their Budget Going After Your Tweets’ (Video)

Posted on by patriotsheart

NATO flag engulfed in flames against a dramatic sky

NATO flag engulfed in flames against a dramatic sky, symbolizing conflict and protest.
NATO, the end?

President Trump has been vocal in calling NATO a one-way street.

America pays the lion’s share, provides the intelligence, the strategic airlift, the aerial refueling, the missile defense, the C4ISR backbone, everything that actually matters in a real fight.

A few days ago, the President lambasted the flaccid alliance for their refusal to support the war in Iran, suggesting that the US may no longer be a member because they can’t be relied upon. 

Mike Benz,  the founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, laid out that NATO is too busy policing people’s tweets to substantively support actual defense funding.

“October 2021, 10 months into the Biden administration, NATO’s Allied Command Transformation Innovation Hub has enlisted a team of Johns Hopkins engineering students in the fight against misinformation,” Benz shared.

“I’m sorry, who enlisted them? Like some wacky pink-haired 6th-grade English teacher? Or did you say NATO?”

“You said the f***ing Transatlantic Military Alliance recruited the Hopkins engineering students in the fight against misinformation on Twitter.”

“They’re tasked with cognitive warfare and creating a system to identify, measure, and track attacks.”

“You mean tweets? Like something I sh** out on the toilet?”

“Quick, let me have the Johns Hopkins engineering team at the Applied Physics Lab creating our AI f***ing scan and ban dashboard say Benz’s 4 AM toilet tweet is an attack on the cognitive security of the Western Alliance.”

“‘Tweets that confuse, misinform, and manipulate the behavior of targeted audiences.’”

“You mean like your followers on Twitter?”

“‘Today’s battles are being fought with ideas,’…. Remember, this is pre-2022 when NATO went, ‘Oh sh**, after f***ing 6 years of only focusing on tweets, I forgot we’re actually supposed to have tanks. And our entire NATO budget went into creating a censorship industrial complex.’”

“And then one year after this, Russia goes into Ukraine and we go ‘Oh sh**, we spent all our money funding the Atlantic Council and Graphika and Johns Hopkins and the Stanford Internet Observatory and Bellingcat and the EU DisinfoLab and Fact Not Fake and the Institute for Strategic Dialog and the Center for Countering Digital Hate and the Integrity Initiative.’”

“‘Oh sh**, we forgot to fund tanks.’”

POWDER KEG EUROPE: Serbian President Vučić Says Explosives Were Found Near a Pipeline Carrying Gas From Russia to Serbia and Hungary

Posted on by patriotsheart

Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić

Serbia in the eye of the storm.

While the eyes of the world are fixated on the developing crisis in the Middle East, Europe is still getting more dangerous by the day, with an energy crisis worsening the socio-political mess and the divisions over the war in Ukraine.

In this context, countries that lead independent foreign policies, like Serbia, are under relentless pressure.

Today, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić came out publicly to disclose that explosives were found near a pipeline that carries gas from Russia to Serbia and Hungary.

Euronews reported:

“Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced on Sunday morning that army and police found explosives that had been placed near a pipeline that carries gas to Serbia and Hungary.

He said that ‘two large packages of explosives with detonators’ were found inside backpacks in northern Serbia’s Kanjiza, ‘a few hundred meters from the gas pipeline’.

The Balkan Stream pipeline is an extension of the TurkStream pipeline, and transfers Russian gas to both Serbia and Hungary.”

Vučić provided no details on who placed the explosives near the gas pipeline, or why – but the inference is clear: the Ukrainian regime of Volodymyr Zelensky is widely seen as working to disrupt the pipelines carrying cheap Russian oil and gas.

Vučić said there were ‘certain traces’ which he would not elaborate on.

“The latest news comes at a time when the integrity of gas pipeline infrastructure has been in the headlines. The Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline, a separate pipeline that carries Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, has been the cause of a dispute between Hungary and Ukraine.”

WATCH: CENTCOM Posts Video of Iranian Suicide Drone Being Obliterated

Posted on by patriotsheart

Thermal imaging view labeled "UNCLASSIFIED" showing a bright explosion in a dark environment, highlighting military technology in action.

US Central Command published new unclassified footage of an Iranian attack drone being decimated in the sky on Sunday. 

“U.S. forces are taking out attack drones used by the Iranian regime to threaten Americans and indiscriminately target civilians in neighboring countries,” CENTCOM wrote on X.

WATCH:

This comes as President Trump threatens to bring death and destruction upon Iran if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened by his deadline of April 6.

Trump wrote in a statement on Sunday, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!”

“Open the F*ckiin’ Strait, you crazy b*stards, or you’ll be living in Hell – WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

Last week, Trump addressed the nation with an update on Operation Epic Fury, where he said that he would continue to escalate the war until Iran makes a deal.

“We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We’re going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong,” he said.

“In the meantime, discussions are ongoing,” he said, noting that “If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously.”

Still, the President announced that the US is close to completing all objectives of Operation Epic Fury and appeared to signal an approaching end to the war regardless of whether Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump later posted a video of Iran’s B1 bridge in Karaj, the tallest bridge in the Middle East, being destroyed in an airstrike on Thursday.

“The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said on Thursday.
