Of course, there's no mention of what was false about the videos.
"What a shit hole, Mn has become. A real shame," with links to racist and false YouTube videos about Somalis.
Israel delivered one of the most dramatic and accurate military strikes in modern Middle East history when a precision ballistic missile killed Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Talk about warheads on foreheads!
Israeli forces used a Blue Sparrow air-launched ballistic missile fired from an F-15 fighter jet. The Sparrow traveled hundreds of miles, climbed high above the atmosphere, then plunged nearly straight down onto Khamenei's compound in Tehran. The steep reentry path produced enormous impact energy, leaving Iran's air defense systems little time to react. The explosion destroyed the compound and killed senior Iranian leadership gathered in the building.
...
Israeli F-15 jets and other aircraft were deployed at around 7:30 a.m. Iran time, with the aircraft unleashing 30 missiles, including Blue Sparrows, to the heart of the Ayatollah's compound about two hours earlier.
The missile's ability to exit and reenter the Earth's atmosphere makes it nearly impossible to intercept, allowing the bombs to clear Iran's defense systems.
The weapon that carried out the strike originated as part of Israel's missile testing program for its Arrow ballistic missile defense system. Israel developed the Blue Sparrow as a target missile designed to simulate long-range threats such as Iran's Shahab-3 ballistic missile.
Defense planners from Israel later adapted the platform for operational use. When launched from an aircraft such as an Israeli Air Force F-15, the missile climbs on a ballistic arc that carries it beyond the dense layers of the atmosphere before reentering at extreme speed. The final descent occurs at a very steep angle, compressing reaction time for radar-tracking and interception systems.
The U.S. military assisted Ecuador with a land operation against cartels on Tuesday night.
I believe it’s the first land operation since the U.S. started striking suspected narco boats in the Caribbean and Pacific.
In total, the military has performed 43 strikes on boats, killing 150 people.
“On March 3, Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces launched operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador,” U.S. Southern Command wrote on X. “The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism.”
...
A source told ABC News that the military only advised the Ecuadorian forces.
The military only provided planning, intelligence, and operational support while Ecuador prepared for the operation.
On Monday night’s opening to The Last Word, host Lawrence O’Donnell, in his usual deranged fashion, decided to compare President Trump’s military actions in Iran to Adolf Hitler’s “rules of engagement" against Americans in World War II. He then implored Barron Trump and Donald Trump Jr. to go fight in Iran since Trump started the “burden of war,” without pointing out the Iranian uprising arose without the help of Trump.
O’Donnell opened his show with a vast display of opposition and rage to military operations in Iran. His outrage spiraled into comparisons of the US Military under Trump to Nazis, because Secretary Hegseth said they weren’t going to issue any of the infamously “stupid” rules of engagement he was subject to in Iraq and Afghanistan:
A jury awarded $2 million Wednesday in the civil trial of a wrongful death lawsuit against high-profile Southern California (Democrat) political donor Ed Buck.
The brief trial started Monday and resulted in a verdict Wednesday, when a jury of five men and three women unanimously found Buck liable for the drug overdose death of Gemmel Moore in 2017 and awarded his mother damages.
...
Buck, 71, was convicted in 2021 of nine felony counts stemming from the overdose deaths of Moore and another man at his West Hollywood apartment. The imprisoned felon serving a 30-year sentence faced a civil lawsuit by the mother of Moore.
The wrongful death lawsuit went to trial Monday after Buck failed to finalize and sign a 2024 settlement agreement with LaTisha Nixon.
Her urban credentials are somewhere between thin and vaporware. Private school for elementary, a Catholic college prep school for high school. Then a private college affiliated with the very liberal Presbyterian Church USA for her BA. She started her JD at a HBC and then finished it at Houston University, a state university. No problem with any of that, per se, but as an urban black, she's a poser.
What is interesting to me is that awhile back I saw a video clip of her BEFORE she ran for congress. In that video she didn't use any ebonics or ghetto speak. She's playing the part that she thinks her side wants to see.
People are getting more and more satisfied.
I just came from filling the gas tank on my vehicle and a guy was saying that people are claiming that gas would be jumping up. Then he said, "After almost having to finance gas under that Biden fool, I consider this a small price to pay to get rid of such evil individuals who are a danger to the entire planet." Another guy said "Yeah, we finally have someone in the White House who will do what should have been done 47 years ago when they took over our embassy and captured our people." And a young woman said "Go, Trump, Go!"
And yesterday I had to go to a couple of appointments and decided to stop at a local convenience store to get a a drink. While I was waiting for the lady behind the counter, there was a guy talking on his phone saying that "He has NOT illegal invaded anyone. He's actually working to stop someone who has been warring with us and trying to destroy us since about 1976." He then looked at me and said. "Sorry but that's how I feel." I told him he didn't have to apologize to me because I felt the same way. I'm telling you, people out here in the southland are tickled sh!tless. I think if demonrats try their usual election steal that there will be some pissed off voters.
