After the tyrannical Iranian regime turned off the internet in Iran — effectively preventing the Iranian people from knowing the damage caused to the regime by Israel’s military strikes and thus emboldening them to challenge the regime — free speech advocate Elon Musk confirmed he had turned on Starlink, allowing the Iranian people access to the Internet.
Musk responded to Fox News host and radio host Mark Levin, who noted, “Elon Musk can put the final nail in the coffin of the Iranian regime by providing Star link internet to the Iranian people! Iran cut off all internet so that the people cannot organize a coup and communicate.”
“The beams are on,” Musk succinctly responded.

On Sunday, the Jerusalem Post<a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-857754"> reported</a> that its sources said Israeli ministers had been told that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei personally ordered his military to attack Israeli civilian population centers.
In 2012, former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, speaking at of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, <a href="https://jcpa.org/article/khamenei-told-me-that-israel-must-be-burned-to-the-ground/">recalled</a>, “In a private discussion we held in Tehran in October of 2000, Ali Khamenei told me that Israel must be burned to the ground and made to disappear from the face of the Earth,” adding that Khamenei declared that “Iran’s war against the United States and Israel is inevitable.”
Former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Dore Gold asked Aznar, “When Khamenei was talking about wiping Israel off the map, was he referring to a gradual historical process involving the collapse of the Zionist state, or rather its physical-military termination?”
“He meant physical termination through military force,” Aznar replied, adding that Khamenei was “working toward Iran defeating the United States and Israel in an inevitable war against them.”
On Saturday the Jerusalem Post had <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-857709">reported</a> that Israel had warned Iran it would strike strategic infrastructure if Iran targeted civilian centers in Israel; Iran has already launched missiles at Tel Aviv, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iran-attempts-to-overwhelm-israeli-defenses-rains-missiles-on-city-of-haifa?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Iran+Attempts+To+Overwhelm+Israeli+Defenses%2C+Rains+Missiles+On+City+Of+Haifa">Haifa</a>, Ramat Gan, and Rishon Lezion.
According to <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/13/world-news/idf-headquarters-hit-by-iranian-missile-attack-as-islamic-republic-launches-barrage-of-missiles-at-tel-aviv/">numerous</a> reports, Iran has launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel, many at Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest population center. “As of noon today, 13 people had been killed so far by the Iranian missile strikes and nearly 400 people were injured, nine of them gravely, according to the Israeli government,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/15/world/iran-israel-nuclear">reported</a> on Sunday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the site where a missile struck in Bat Yam that destroyed a building, killing six people, three women, ages roughly 80, 60, and 50, an eighteen-year-old boy, a 20 year-old boy, and an eight-year-old girl. Search efforts are still ongoing to look through the rubble for more survivors.
 “Even before most of the rescue forces arrived, the road here was littered with metal,” Bat Yam Mayor Tzvika Brot said, “Dust covered all the vehicles and people were lying in the street—scenes reminiscent of the Twin Towers disaster. Right now, 61 buildings have been damaged, of which six or seven will likely have to be demolished—and that number may rise to double digits. It’s quite unprecedented to have to demolish this many buildings from a single strike. Unfortunately, the evacuation is still not complete. We expect the number to rise. We know there are still people trapped, and we hope there aren’t many,” Israel National News <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/410026">reported</a>.
Four Israeli Arab women were killed by an <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/409982">Iranian missile strike</a> that hit northern Israeli Arab town of Tamra on Saturday night; after Iran launched dozens of missiles towards Israeli territory. A mother, her two daughters, ages 13 and 20, and another family member.

The name Israel used for its military operation targeting Iran may have extraordinary meaning for the people of Iran, who have suffered under the tyrannical, despotic Islamic regime for 46 years.
The Israelis named the mission “Operation Rising Lion,” derived from Numbers 23:24, in which the prophet Balaam — who was hired by King Balak of Moab to curse Israel, but was directed by God to bless Israel instead — declaimed of the Jewish people, “Behold! The people will arise like a lion cub and raise itself like a lion.”
But the imagery of a lion rising may also have tremendous significance for the people of Iran — the flag of Iran for four centuries before the Islamic regime took over in 1979 was a lion with the sun rising on the stripes of green, white, and red. The Islamic regime replaced the lion with a stylized version of Allah and the phrase “Allahu Akbar” along the edges of the green and red stripes.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Rising Lion is a beautiful name for the operation, reminding the people of Iran that Israel is not their enemy, and looks forward to peace and friendship as the Lion rises to where he was before &#39;79. <a href="https://t.co/ORgHrmO760">https://t.co/ORgHrmO760</a> <a href="https://t.co/zlEUs7tD5w">pic.twitter.com/zlEUs7tD5w</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
The lion and sun flag is still used by some Iranians as a symbol of opposition to the current government. In 1980, after adopting the Islamic flag, the regime made it a punishable offense to use the lion and sun flag.
“There is a common misconception that the Lion and Sun flag is the symbol of the Pahlavi Dynasty,” the National Union for Democracy in Iran <a href="https://fund.nufdiran.org/resources/the-true-flag-of-iran/">notes</a>. “Though the flag was used during the Pahlavi Dynasty, it is an ancient, national symbol the history of which dates back to the twelfth century. It is, indeed, Iran’s symbol. It has been discovered on banners and as being used as a popular coat of arms to represent Iran as early as the fourteenth century. In the sixteenth century, during the Safavid Dynasty, the Lion and Sun first appeared on Iran’s official flag.”
In 2009, a movement arose in Iran to rid the country of the Islamic regime. Called the “Green Movement,” reports said scores of protesters were killed by the regime. Then-President Obama refused to help the protesters. “Behind the scenes, Obama overruled advisers who wanted to do what America had done at similar transitions from dictatorship to democracy, and signal America&#8217;s support,” Eli Lake <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-08-24/why-obama-let-iran-s-green-revolution-fail">recalled</a>. According to Wall Street Journal reporter Jay Solomon, author of “The Iran Wars,” Obama ordered the CIA to sever contacts it had with supporters of the movement.

“The Agency has contingency plans for supporting democratic uprisings anywhere in the world. This includes providing dissidents with communications, money, and in extreme cases even arms,&#8221; Solomon wrote. &#8220;But in this case the White House ordered it to stand down.”
In January 2023, Radio Free Europe <a href="https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-protests-death-count-human-rights-report/32224340.html">reported</a>, “At least 522 people have been killed in four months of anti-government protests in Iran, said a <a href="https://twitter.com/HRANA_English/status/1614398173111357440?cxt=HHwWgMC8pbilv-csAAAA">report</a> issued on January 15 by the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA). Among the dead are 70 minors and 68 security forces, the agency reported. Nearly 20,000 people had been arrested, 110 on charges that could lead to a death sentence, it said.”

Is The Name Of Israel’s Strike On Iran A Message To The Iranian People?

Leading GOP senators bluntly declared their support for Israel’s strikes targeting Iran on Thursday night, stating that Israel was helping America by attacking the anti-American terror regime that routinely chants, “Death to America.”
“Iran is the world’s worst state sponsor of terrorism, has the blood of thousands of Americans on its hands, and is rushing to build not only nuclear weapons, but also missiles that can strike the United States,” Arkansas senator Tom Cotton wrote on X. “We back Israel to the hilt, all the way. And if the ayatollahs harm a single American, that will be the end of the ayatollahs.”

And I want to ask every one of your listeners, every one of your viewers, if you’re a person of faith, pray for Israel tonight. Pray for Israel, pray for Jerusalem, and pray for our servicemen and women, the Americans in harm’s way.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) wrote, “For too long, the mullahs in Iran have publicly aspired to wipe the only democracy in the Middle East off the face of the map via any means possible: funding and arming terror groups on Israel’s borders, choking off international sea lanes, and multiple barrages of missiles and drones.

Today, Israel has determined that it must take decisive action to defend the Israeli people. The United States Senate stands ready to work with President Trump and with our allies in Israel to restore peace in the region and, first and foremost, to defend the American people from Iranian aggression, especially our troops and civilians serving overseas.

‘Proud To Stand With Israel’: GOP Leaders Back Israeli Strike On Iran

Ted Cruz

Tom Cotton

Iranians opposed to the despotic tyrannical theocratic Iranian regime cheered the Israeli attack on Iran Thursday night.
Israel struck the Natanz nuclear facility, air defense systems, ballistic missile sites, and reportedly eliminated many of Iran’s top military leaders.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a statement made after the attack, noted that Israel’s actions had given the people of Lebanon and Syria a different future with the fall of the Assad regime and the weakening of Hezbollah. He continued, “So too, do the brave people of Iran. And I have a message for them: Our fight is not with you. Our fight is with the brutal dictatorship that has oppressed you for 46 years. I believe that the day of your liberation is near. When that happens, the great friendship between our two ancient people will flourish once again.”
Iranian scholar and filmmaker Faezeh Alavi, who saw her event “From Conflict to Connection: Israelis and Iranians in Dialogue,” at King&#8217;s College <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-847883">canceled</a> in February after anti-Israel activists protested, responded to Netanyahu’s speech. She posted on X: “Bibi is spot on. We are sharing the same enemy. The Islamic Republic&#8217;s nuclear program must be stopped; otherwise, a nuclear war would start by this regime soon, and Iranian people would lose ANY chance of freeing Iran. Many world leaders also owe Israel for protecting them from this threat.”

Famed Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad echoed on X regarding the reported deaths of Iranian military leaders:
<blockquote>
I’ve received countless messages from Iranians celebrating the reported death of Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Air and aerospace force, Ali Shamkhani &#8211; head of the Iranian nuclear program and senior advisor to Supreme Leader Khamenei and major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, Chief of Staff of Islamic Republic Iran’s Armed Forces, in Israel’s strike. My heart bleeds for our people, not for a regime built on blood. They were sanctioned by Canada, the U.S. and EU for their key role in crushing the peaceful protests and for human rights violations against peaceful civilians . They shaped the regime’s ballistic missile program. Removing a terrorist is not a tragedy, it is a step toward justice for all the innocent lives they destroyed.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
She added in another post, “This regime chose missiles over medicine, proxy wars over prosperity, and repression over reform. Hossein Salami was not a defender of Iran. He was directly responsible for the killing, torture, and imprisonment of peaceful protesters. He led a force that jailed women for dancing, for showing their hair, for simply existing freely. The Islamic Republic built its empire on violence and now that violence is coming back to strike its core. This is not just about geopolitics. It is about justice catching up with those who built power on blood.&#8221;
“The Islamic Republic is not the voice of Iran,” she continued. “It is the enemy of Iran—and of its people’s dreams for freedom. Rather than seizing diplomatic openings, the Islamic Republic responded to every IAEA concern and U.S. outreach with nuclear escalation using 60% enrichment as blackmail, and threatening worse if held accountable. This regime never wanted peace. It wanted impunity. This is the war the Islamic Republic prepared for not to defend the Iranian people, but to secure nuclear weapons and ensure its survival through fear and force. While the world negotiates, the regime accelerates. While Iranians demand freedom, the regime builds bombs. The Islamic Republic is not a misunderstood actor—it is a calculated threat. To the region. To its own people. To the truth. My deepest hope is that the safety of people of Iran is protected above all. The people are not the enemy، they are the brave souls who have been resisting tyranny.”

Separate yourselves from them and join the people. The Iranian nation’s battle with the destructive regime of the Islamic Republic is to reclaim Iran and rebuild it. The solution is to overthrow the Islamic Republic through street protests and nationwide strikes. I am with you in these difficult moments. We are all in this fight together and we will win.

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis minced no words when speaking about the rights of citizens if they were surrounded by a mob while in their car.
DeSantis <a href="https://rumble.com/v6uncqd-exposing-the-real-origin-of-gavin-newsoms-ice-riot-problem-ron-desantis.html">spoke</a> to Dave Rubin of the Rubin Report regarding the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, and Florida’s policy regarding civil unrest.
“In terms of the unrest, Florida’s policy is very simple: You have every right to exercise your First Amendment rights to protest and demonstrate,” DeSantis explained. “The minute you cross that line, you are going to be met with serious pushback, and you will be held accountable. We do not tolerate rioting; we do not tolerate civil unrest; we do not tolerate looting; we do not tolerate attacks on law enforcement.”
“And so I know they’re planning stuff for all over the country; they tried to do a little protest in Florida, and they actually just held signs, which is fine, but that’s as far as it goes here,” he continued. “I think the problem in places like California is the authorities at both the local and state level; they’re effectively siding with the people that are causing the unrest. And part of it is because California is the Shangri-La of sanctuary states. They give you drivers’ licenses if you’re an illegal; you get in-state tuition; they pay for your healthcare; they will try to stymie ICE and protect you from having immigration law enforced, And so they’ve been doing this over a number of years and I think have developed a sense of entitlement that somehow, federal laws don’t apply to them because they don’t like them. So you’ve had the mayor, the governor, empower that element, not just now, but for many years &#8230;”
Asked what Florida’s policy was when demonstrators crossed the line, DeSantis replied:
<blockquote>
The Hamas demonstration, when that was in vogue, they tried to do that in the city of Miami and the Miami PD got them off the street in 13 minutes. They tried to do it in central Florida on a state road and our state highway patrol. they were able to dispatch them in 11 minutes. And so, yes, there is zero tolerance. You have no right to commandeer streets. First of all it’s just wrong. Second of all, that has huge impacts on people&#8217;s quality of life. You may have a parent needing to go pick up a child from daycare, from a camp, or from a school. You may have somebody who has a medical issue they need to get, and what, you’re going to clog all the roads?
So we have an absolutely zero tolerance policy for that and we also have a policy that if you&#8217;re driving on one of those streets, and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety. And so if you drive off, and you hit one of these people, that&#8217;s their fault for impinging on you. You don&#8217;t have to sit there and just be a sitting duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets. You have a right to defend yourself in Florida.

Just after midnight on Thursday, New York City police and firefighters found eleven NYPD vehicles on fire in a Brooklyn parking lot along with undetonated explosive devices.
Two masked individuals wearing gloves were seen running away from the scene, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/12/us-news/nypd-vehicles-burned-in-suspected-arson-attack-in-brooklyn/">reported</a>, adding that some witnesses were delighted by the arson.

“Awesome” and “f***ing rad,” one witness reportedly said, adding, “Burn more police cars, set more s*** on fire, do things that actually matter and circumvent the police &#8230;”
Only hours before, roughly 100 anti-ICE protesters met at Foley Square, near a building where federal immigration offices and the city&#8217;s main immigration court reside. “They shouted profanities and chanted: ‘How do you spell racism: I-C-E’ and ‘Deportation no more, ICE get out of our state,’” Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/anti-ice-rioters-fight-nypd-set-police-cars-fire">reported</a>, adding, “About 10 people were arrested when scuffles broke out with police and demonstrators refused to get off the road.”
Last Saturday, more than 100 protesters confronted police officers in Lower Manhattan, trying to block ICE vehicles transporting illegal immigrants; the NYPD said 22 people were <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/nyregion/ice-detention-federal-plaza-nyc.html">arrested</a>.
On Tuesday, roughly 2,500 protesters demonstrated in Lower Manhattan, speaking out against the immigration crackdown implemented by the Trump administration. Some of the protesters yelled “Nazi scum” at police officers; others hurled bottles at the NYPD. More than 80 people were arrested, <a href="https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-protests-trump-nypd-los-angeles-ice">Fox 5</a> reported.
According to the <a href="https://gothamist.com/news/the-nypd-is-being-monitored-at-anti-ice-protests-after-recent-george-floyd-settlement">Gothamist</a>, while the NYPD has been aiding ICE, they are under scrutiny from the New York City Department of Investigation (DOI). Agents from the DOI  have been monitoring the NYPD “as part of a legal agreement reached after demonstrators in 2020 claimed police illegally arrested them as they protested the killing of George Floyd,” the Gothamist noted. “DOI spokesperson Diane Struzzi said the agency dispatched the monitors as part of a legal settlement after the 2020 protests.”
That policy came about after the Legal Aid Society, New York Civil Liberties Union, and the attorney general’s office accused the NYPD of overaggressive tactics vis-à-vis protesters. “As part of the settlement, the DOI will chair a ‘collaborative committee’ that will review the NYPD’s response to certain demonstrations in the city,” the Gothamist reported.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations nuclear watchdog, on Thursday found that Iran had breached its non-proliferation obligations. It is the first time in almost two decades that the IAEA has taken that stance. The <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/west-plans-push-iaea-board-find-iran-breach-duties-diplomats-say-2025-05-30/">last time</a> the IAEA adopted that position was in September 2005, when clandestine nuclear activities in Iran were discovered.
The IAEA’s declaration means that the report will more likely be considered by the U.N. Security Council. The resolution declaring Iran in violation, which was submitted by the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, was approved by 19 countries with 11 abstentions. Only Russia, China, and Burkina Faso voted against the resolution, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/iaea-board-declares-iran-breach-non-proliferation-duties-diplomats-say-2025-06-12/">Reuters</a>.
“The Board of Governors&#8230; finds that Iran&#8217;s many failures to uphold its obligations since 2019 to provide the Agency with full and timely cooperation regarding undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple undeclared locations in Iran &#8230; constitutes non-compliance with its obligations under its Safeguards Agreement with the Agency,” the resolution stated.
“A central issue is Iran&#8217;s failure to provide the IAEA with credible explanations of how uranium traces detected at undeclared sites in Iran came to be there despite the agency having investigated the issue for years,” Reuters added. In February, Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/irans-stock-near-bomb-grade-uranium-grows-sharply-iaea-report-shows-2025-02-26/">noted</a>, “The stock of uranium refined to up to 60% in the form of uranium hexafluoride grew by 92.5 kg in the past quarter to 274.8 kg, one of two confidential IAEA reports said. That is enough in principle, if enriched further, for six nuclear bombs, according to an IAEA yardstick.”
On June 2, President Donald Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114616038217949758">posted</a> on Truth Social, &#8220;The AUTOPEN should have stopped Iran a long time ago from &#8216;enriching.&#8217; Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!&#8221;
On June 4, in a televised speech, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei <a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/202506044672">taunted</a> the United States and the Trump administration over its demand that Iran stop enriching uranium, declaring, “The first word of the U.S. is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry and should rely on the United States. Our response to the U.S. nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter.”
“The rude and arrogant leaders of America repeatedly demand that we should not have a nuclear program. Who are you to decide whether Iran should have an enrichment?” Khamenei jeered. “Why are you interfering? Whether Iran enriches uranium or not — what does it have to do with you? Who are you?”

David Hogg, of 1270 SAT fame, who was elected Democratic National Committee Vice-Chair earlier this year, saw his job evaporate on Wednesday, as the DNC voted overwhelmingly to hold new elections for the position.
“In a 294-99 vote that concluded Wednesday, DNC members agreed to move forward with redoing the contest earlier this year that elected Hogg and another Democrat, Malcolm Kenyatta, as vice chairs,” The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/11/dnc-vote-david-hogg-democrats/">reported</a>. “The DNC will now vote from Thursday through Saturday — and then Sunday through Tuesday — to fill the two slots, which both men can seek again.”
In April, Hogg’s group, Leaders We Deserve, revealed it would spend $20 million to primary “out-of-touch, ineffective” incumbent House Democrats. Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Ken Martin said he gave Hogg an ultimatum, recalling, “As I&#8217;ve said to him, ‘If you want to challenge incumbents, you&#8217;re more than free to do that, but just not as an officer of the DNC, because our job is to be neutral arbiters. We can&#8217;t be both the referee and also the player at the same time. You have to make a decision.’”
Kalyn Free of Oklahoma, an activist who had aimed for the position of DNC Vice Chair, claimed the DNC broke its rules on gender diversity in the election that handed Hogg his seat. In May, the DNC Credentials Committee then agreed to hold new elections.
“Today, the DNC took its first steps to remove me from my position as Vice Chair At-Large. While this vote was based on how the DNC conducted its officers’ elections, which I had nothing to do with, it is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote,”  Hogg said.
“I ran to be DNC Vice Chair to help make the Democratic Party better, not to defend an indefensible status quo that has caused voters in almost every demographic group to move away from us,” he added. “The DNC has pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided an avenue to fast-track that effort.”
Hogg became a famous gun control proponent after surviving the 2018 Parkland high school shooting. For a review of his history of outrageous statements, see <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dnc-elects-david-hogg-to-top-role-heres-a-look-at-some-of-his-insane-statements">here</a>.

“The Argentine embassy will move to Jerusalem during the year 2026,” Milei <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/409815">announced</a> in the Knesset. “My brothers and sisters, Argentina stands by you in these difficult days. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for much of the international community that is being manipulated by terrorists and turning victims into perpetrators. It is important to understand that we are in the midst of a battle between good and evil, and we began to lose this battle when we began to not distinguish between the two. The international community must urgently reconnect with its moral compass. To decide, one only needs to look at the facts: on the one hand, the barbaric terrorism that only kills and destroys, and on the other, the only stronghold in the region where there is freedom and democracy.&#8221;
&#8220;Javier, you are a true friend,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated. “With this visit, we are bringing our relations to new heights. 12,000 kilometers separate Buenos Aires, Israel, and the Knesset in Jerusalem. This great distance is compensated for by the closeness of our hearts.&#8221;
&#8220;A year and a half ago, you stormed into the presidency of your country,” he noted. “You brought a unique, authentic and decisive leadership style. A sweeping style, and from the very first moment you expressed complete support for Israel. For 20 months, we have been fighting the human monsters who kidnapped, raped, and beheaded on October 7. In the face of this brutal and unprecedented aggression, you said in clear words, ‘We are on your side in the battle against the forces of darkness.’ Thank you for standing by us in the battle against the forces of darkness. You stood on the side of truth and against lies, understanding that this is a just war beyond compare. This is a war of barbarity that threatens the entire world.&#8221;
&#8220;You share our spirit against those who issue outrageous arrest warrants for leaders in Israel. What are you actually saying? You are saying that good is good, evil is evil, and good must eradicate evil. Israeli citizens feel a natural sympathy for Argentina for many reasons. Argentina has always been engraved in our hearts,&#8221; Netanyahu said.
Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana noted that Milei learns weekly with a rabbi, saying, “These, as you’ve said, have given you ‘a moral compass lacking in the modern political world.’ You searched, you deepened, you found your roots. And in doing so, you discovered the truth that connects our people across millennia to our ancient homeland and to our one and only eternal capital.”
“It is no surprise that you have become one of Israel’s most passionate friends and defenders on the world stage,” Ohana continued. “Your words have resonated far and wide and have been received by the people of Israel like cold water to a parched soul — words backed by actions. You have stood against Iran — the regime of evil funding the current war against Israel on seven fronts.”
“By standing with Israel, you have woven yourself and the Argentine people into the eternal story of the Jewish nation. On behalf of the Knesset, representing all citizens of Israel — thank you. Long live the State of Israel; long live Argentina, long live liberty!” Ohana concluded.

Landing back in France after her ill-fated attempt to travel to Gaza in a flotilla was foiled by Israeli authorities and she was sent packing back to Europe, climate activist Greta Thunberg appeared to pretend to be handcuffed as soon as she saw media waiting for her arrival.
Thunberg, 22, was being escorted by police with her arms at her sides, but immediately put her arms and hands behind her back, seemingly to make it seem as though her hands were restrained.

Thunberg’s actions were reminiscent of another prominent leftist, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who in July 2022 took part in a pro-abortion rally at the Supreme Court and looked as if she was pretending to be handcuffed as she was escorted away by police. “The Bronx and Queens Democratic lawmaker was gently escorted away by a Capitol Police officer — along with fellow city Rep. Carolyn Maloney — after blocking traffic outside the court building,” the New York Post reported. “AOC kept up the charade of being restrained for a few steps before raising her fist to supporters watching from the sidewalk. She then crossed her <a href="https://twitter.com/RepAOC/status/1549462189895041024">wrists behind her back again</a> in the faux handcuffed position.”’

A third officer laughs along with them.“
“Thunberg falls quiet and serious as a photographer snaps pictures of her and the officers standing still. In the background, a large line of riot officers is seen standing in a line some distance away,” Fox News continued. “Several photographers swarm around Thunberg as two officers then lead her toward a parking lot.”

Montana Republican Sen. Tim Sheehy, a genuine conservative, offered a common-sense perspective on how to deal with Southern California in the wake of the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles County, while also defending President Donald Trump’s budget bill from Democrats trying to savage it.
Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, appeared on Fox Business with host Stuart Varney, who played a clip of Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass saying “nothing was happening” in the city before ICE arrived last week.
“But these men are convicted murderers, rapists, and they would be on the streets of Los Angeles if they’d not been arrested. I don’t understand the mayor’s position,” Varney prompted.
“Common sense, Stu,” Sheehy replied. “That’s why we won the last election. Americans want a secure border, cheap gas, safe streets, boys are boys, girls are girls, cops are good, criminals are bad. And as we see today, the Democrats still are pushing non-common-sense policies. She’s sitting there telling us everything‘s fine in L.A.; there’s no criminals to be seen. Meanwhile, they’re burning cars, attacking cops, wreaking chaos in the streets. So people want safe streets; they want order in the streets, and that’s what the president’s bringing.”
“Listen, none of us want active-duty troops deployed in the U.S.; of course not, that’s a pillar of our Constitution, but we also need public safety,” he continued. “We need order in the streets, and Americans have every right to feel safe in their own homes.”
“Governor Newsom is going to be begging President Trump for money to fix some of the problems of his own creation in California. Should he get it?” Varney asked.
“It all depends on common sense, Stu,” Sheehy answered. “When it comes to wildfire spending, they want money to recover from wildfires; [we] absolutely want to rebuild those communities, but not if they’re going to follow the same wrong-headed policies. &#8230; And we shouldn’t be funding subsidies for the state of California if they’re not going to enforce laws in their own streets, and the federal government has to come in and do the job in the state, city, and county. Then we shouldn’t be paying for that either. So if they’re going to take care of their own house, we will certainly help them, but we shouldn’t be paying for policies that are bad for America.”
Varney asked if Medicaid waste and fraud was the “sticking issue” as the GOP senators consider President Trump’s budget bill, and if that was what the Democrats were “going to hang their hat on.”
“No, I think the issues are far more wide-ranging than that, Stu; that’s of course, the one that they’re wanting to message on,” Sheehy explained. “The reality is we’ve seen an explosion in Medicare and Medicaid fraud across the board, from improper payments to billions of dollars of payments that they didn’t even know where they went. A 9 to 1 dollar reimbursement ratio for able-bodied males when we’re not even paying the reimbursement ratio needed to cover the cost for pregnant women and people who are severely sick. So we have a system that has been perverted these last four years, and it’s rife with fraud and abuse, and we’re going to fix that. The most important thing is to protect Medicaid, to protect Medicare, for the people that really need it, and that’s exactly what we’re doing by shoring up these programs for the people who actually need it and reducing the fraud , waste, and abuse for those who do not need it.”
