After promptly releasing all the terrorists they had in custody and all but ignoring reports of others who escaped after the attempted attack on an American-used airbase, UK authorities are now admitting that the attack was almost certainly directed straight from Iran and through its most murderous terrorist division.

The same prime minister who recently reaffirmed his dedication to not restricting mass migration from Muslim countries is now pretending he is concerned that an Iranian citizen planned a terrorist attack on UK soil. “I can confirm our assessment that it is highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran, almost certainly directed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard,” Prime Minister Andy Burnham told lawmakers, according to Stars and Stripes. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is not only the Iranian regime’s military, responsible for coordinating a global terror network, but it also massacred tens of thousands of people within Iran this year.

1. How many weeks did it take for the UK gooberment to admit the grossly obvious?

2. The Trump Administration correctly assessed, a couple of weeks ago, that the UK gooberment is utterly unserious about airbase security (something I'm sure RAF personnel "love").

So, We Know What Held Up ABC News' Hit Piece on Trump's Sons

https://townhall.com/news/mattvespa/2026/10/12/so-we-know-what-held-up-abc-news-hit-piece-on-trumps-sons-n2684461

Last week, ABC News posted something outrageous about Donald Trump’s sons. I couldn’t read the hit job in full because the outlet took the article down. From the bits and pieces, it seems ABC News got all excited over Don Jr. and Eric having major stakes in a defense company that got billions in contracts. Yes, this would be the first time ever the Pentagon and a defense contractor did business. It’s a throwback to the shoddy, nothing-burger Russian collusion bombshells that imploded in less than 24 hours.

It was a black-bag operation: no editor’s note, nothing. The article just vanished. Now the article has been reposted, but with entirely different copy, and the headline is, well, totally overhauled. The backstory is that this piece was published prematurely as reporting was being finalized. ... They posted what they wanted to say, but had to redo it once their assumptions proved to be trash. They hit post by accident, but we saw the sausage being made ... .

If you take ABC Skews's "explanation" at face value, that a draft of the story got published prematurely, it is as ugly for ABC Skews as the "draft" being shredded with reality. The draft revealed what ABC Skews's "reporters" believe and want to be true, regardless of facts. Whoever composed that utterly counter-factual draft should be taking fryolator training.

I'm still inclined to believe a simpler explanation - Occam's Razor applied. ABC Skews knowingly published a blatantly false accusation and only took it down and rewrote it when they got called out very publicly.

Given the time to the midterm, expect one or two more such blatantly false hit-pieces, though from different skews sources.

‘Judicially authorized search warrant’

https://www.americanexperiment.org/judicially-authorized-search-warrant/

That’s the key: a federal judge signed off on the search warrant. Most likely, the signer was a federal magistrate judge in the District of Columbia. He or she would have been hired by the heavily-Democratic cohort of judges in the district. That magistrate judge has placed his or her career on the line in signing that warrant. To gain that signature, the judge would have to be convinced that probable cause exists that a federal crime was committed.

As a matter of course, that warrant would have been filed under seal. So, there’s no need to speculate on what this is all about, it has been recorded in the affidavit.

1. If I understand this correctly, the warrant being under seal is normal process.

2. The magistrate judges are all Dems (Trump also pointed this out and gave their four names).

3. The above being the case, the pertinent judge would have been especially diligent about the quantity, quality, and relevance of the evidence supporting the purpose of the search.

4. Progs being what they are, even if what was seized prove criminal wrongdoing - regardless of by whom - whichever judged signed the warrant will be the target of Dem retaliation if they ever get the power to do so.

...can print out a document that looks like an official warrant.

Is Wednesdays so stooooopid as to think (s)he would think of this absurdity before Ilhan Omar and her minions would?

and there are four of them. https://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/magistrate-judges

The application for a warrant has to state that there is probable cause to believe that material evidence of a crime is at the place to be searched, but this wouldn't be the first time that one of the regime's goons lied on a search warrant application.

Ocelot II tossed cold water reality into some DU thread a week or two ago, and probably garnered some Post Reports. This one probably will as well.

Maybe she's still processing toward common sense ... or cosplaying being a crazy feminist.
