America Rises Up In Massive Protests To Say “No Kings” #usa #america Tens of millions of people all across America and all around the world protested for No Kings Day. These are record setting crowds. Look at this footage… the people just go forever. In Los Angeles, they carried a massive copy of the US Constitution. In Florida, protesters marched to Mar-A-Lago. San Francisco formed a giant human banner that said no kings. Nashville endured the rain to protest. Chicago’s protest was so big that one reporter speculated that it could be the biggest protest in the city’s history. City officials in Boise announced that today’s protest is the largest gathering in the city’s entire history. Look at these photos! That’s like 1/3rd of Idaho out there! Even small towns in America have shown up in massive numbers from Little Rock, Arkansas to State College, Pennsylvania. Americans are absolutely upset with the ICE secret police, the use of the military on the people, the authoritarian crackdown on free speech, the camps, the corruption, and the general lawlessness that this regime conducts itself with. There were also huge protests in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and over 37 other countries for the American people’s struggle against tyranny. I want you to think about what it means that people in other countries are protesting for your freedom. As Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense: “the cause of America is in great measure the cause of all of mankind”. If American democracy and our human rights are killed by Trump, then nowhere is safe for democracy.

Ukraine Changes War Forever With Drone Attack #usa #america Ukraine just changed war forever in what’s being called the “greatest special operation of all time”. This could be the atomic bomb event of our lifetime, as in there will be a very clear before or after point in history because of this. Yesterday, Ukraine destroyed 34% of Russia’s strategic bombers in a drone attack unlike any other. They did this by putting drones in shipping containers for wooden kit houses and then shipping them to areas near four airbases. Then when they activated it, the roofs of the containers opened and the drones flew out and hit the Russian bombers. It’s being said that the drones were controlled by AI rather than a person, but the Pentagon says it’s unsure. There was no air defense to shoot them down because typically you don’t have anti-air systems at an air base 3,000 miles into your own country. These drones are said to only cost around 4,000 each, to the untrained eye they look like a DJI drone that TikTokers use. The containers then self-destructed after all the drones had launched. Outside of the fact that Russia is going to have a harder time killing Ukrainian civilians, this is about as rough of a psychological attack as you can get. Imagine being a Russian leader right now - Every single shipping container in your country could be a weapon and every highway that they travel on is now a threat vector. You’re going to have to inspect all containers now, you’ll have to screen all drivers, you’ll have to monitor internal roads. This is going to slow down their supply chain to a grinding halt. Now people have been calling this a pearl harbor kind of attack but Ukrainians are pushing back on that characterization saying this wasn’t a nefarious sneak attack in an undeclared war. Others say Battle of Midway is a more appropriate comparison.

Trump’s Military Parade Was A Humiliation #usa #america No one went to Trump’s birthday parade and it’s incredibly humiliating for him and he humiliated America by having it. The No Kings Day protests were reportedly one of the largest mass protests in American history, and in contrast Trump sat alone at a party that no one came to. Some have said “what did he expect? He has the lowest approval rating in history for a President at this point.” The parade was so empty and quiet that you could hear the wheels on the Sherman tank squeaking. The birthday boy was also bored out of his mind, he practically fall asleep several times. In addition to that, our soldiers appear to be unable to march in lock step. Look at other countries compared to us, this is China. Russians online are mocking us, saying “what Trump imagined his parade would be vs what it was”. There is a debate amongst veterans who say “we’re trained to march so these soldiers intentionally did it poorly”, and that’s actually a talking point that both sides are using but with different objectives of course. While other veterans say that the US military doesn’t have ceremonial marching units so this was gonna look bad no matter what. Prior to yesterday’s parade, the Army had reportedly spent over 3 years planning festivals all across the nation to celebrate their 250th birthday where Americans could come and see items from the Army’s past and present. But it was overruled by Trump who decided that there would be no festivals and that the celebration would happen on his birthday and it would be a parade.

Trump Demands Iran Make Peace As War Begins #usa #america Trump says that Iran should make peace immediately and that they shouldn’t attack the US back or the US will hit them again. Iran’s IRGC says “The war has begun” and Iranian State TV is airing the message “Mr. Trump you started it and we will end it”. They’re also saying that every American citizen is now a target. The Iranian defense minister warned earlier today that they will strike US bases in response if the US were to attack. And now US bases in the gulf are at their highest alert status as they await Iranian retaliation. The Iraqi government is now rapidly deploying security forces to the US embassy as Iranian militias are likely to attack it. The Houthis say they will resume striking US ships. The damage at the nuclear sites is said to be “Enormous” and US officials say that the strikes were “Very successful”. With some media reports saying that Fordow no longer exists. We now know that 6 B2 bombers dropped at least 6 15 ton bombs on Fordow and the other two sites were hit with at least 30 tomahawk missiles from submarines and destroyers. Trump reportedly hopes that his bombing of Iran’s nuclear facility will bring about diplomacy. The US allegedly reached out to Iran before the strikes to say that they were bombing the nuclear sites and that no other strikes are planned. Iran says that they removed all of the nuclear material out of the sites in advance to avoid losing it in the US air strike. Members of the House have started calling for Trump's impeachment because he started a war without the consent of Congress.

ICE and LA Go To War #usa #california ICE and Los Angeles have gone to war. With ICE reportedly starting it by using military style force against protesters which lead to even more protesters showing up. Yesterday they conducted multiple sweeps around LA which was the starting point for the clashes. ICE was wearing camouflaged military tactical gear with military-style rifles and were riding in MRAPs. They also had their faces covered with no name tags or badge numbers. They began throwing flashbangs, firing shotguns, shooting non-lethals at protesters, spraying pepper spray, and firing tons of tear gas. The LAPD then stepped in and declared the protest unlawful and began to disperse it. This is now the 4th city this week that ICE has encountered resistance from the people. It’s unclear how much of the resistance is about deportations and how much of it is about ICE acting like an occupying military force. The MRAPs that ICE is using were designed for Iraq and Afghanistan and the US military had to change how they used them because they found that locals often saw their presence as being very oppressive and that they instigated conflict. And you’re certainly seeing that same reaction here in the US, and the anonymity of these agents only escalates it further. The Acting ICE director released a video today telling those criticizing ICE that he is demanding that they stop. And a lot of people are saying that if ICE got rid of the masks, put their name tags back on, and dusted off the SUVs… that people would go back to ignoring them.

Iran Counterstrikes Israel #usa #america Iran has reportedly fired over 300 ballistic missiles at Israel after over 16 straight hours of Israeli bombardment of their military and nuclear program. The Iranian missiles are hitting downtown Tel Aviv and it’s unclear how many of them are being intercepted but we do know that the US is assisting Israel in air defense. At least 17 Israelis have been injured by Iran’s missiles. The IDF’s headquarters have reportedly been hit by several missiles as well as high rises and Israeli military bases. Iran’s foreign minister called the UN general secretary to say that Iran has a right to defend itself and then demanded the United Nations assist them in quote “confronting the warmongering zionist regime”. Israel maintains that they have a right to preemptive self-defense and that’s what this war with Iran is. Israel also says that Iran will pay an “unbearable price” for targeting their cities while Iran says that nowhere in Israel will be safe anymore. Iran says that it shot down an Israeli jet and captured its pilot, Israel denies this. Israel has already killed most of the control and the command officials in Iran and they have heavily damaged their nuclear program. There are reports of a leak at one of Iran’s nuclear sites. Over 100 Iranians have been killed and 400 more injured by Israel’s missiles. While this is all happening, the UN security council meeting is happening where everyone is urging them to deescalate. Iran will reportedly stop weapon shipments to Russia as it is now at war with Israel, making Ukraine the big winner here.

US Likely To Join Israel’s War On Iran #usa #america It looks increasingly likely that the US is going to join Israel’s war on Iran. The Nimitz aircraft carrier is traveling to the Middle East where it will meet another carrier. The US also sent 32 tankers across the Atlantic last night with most of them amassing in Spain. Israel also reportedly formally asked the US to join the war. If the US is entering the war, this is what it would look like. The US would likely be dropping bunker busters on Iran’s underground nuclear facility because Israel lacks the capability. In the past, we’ve seen the B1 and B2 travel continuously from Texas and Missouri, then enter the Mediterranean via the strait of Gibraltar. The B-2 bombers will likely be carrying the massive ordnance penetrator, and that is 20 feet long and 30,000 pounds. At max, they can carry two each. The B1 is not officially able to carry them however it could carry smaller bunker busters if they’re used. Israel has already established air superiority over Iran so if the US acts, it’ll face little resistance. US officials say that the movement of these tankers and the aircraft carrier are to give the US more options in the Middle East. The G7 released a joint statement saying that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon, however Trump refused to sign it and called for Iran to reenter nuclear talks. Netanyahu said that he will not entertain any nuclear talks with Iran and said he will kill Iran’s supreme leader if he “needs” to. Iran has reportedly sent private messages to the US and US allies expressing a willingness to talk and a request for a ceasefire. The Iranian foreign minister called Netanyahu a war criminal and said that he has deceived previous American presidents into fighting his wars for him.

America Attacks Iran #usa #america The United States of America is now at war with Iran. President Trump announced tonight that the United States attacked three of Iran’s nuclear facilities - Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. He says that the mission to destroy them was successful and that the B2s and other bombers are now safely out of Iranian airspace. Trump says that now is the time for peace, but one has to imagine Iran is pretty upset and will likely attack the United States back. There are reports of widespread GPS, cell phone, and radio jamming in Iran. This is believed to be US Electronic warfare. There are around 40,000 US soldiers in the Gulf who will now be the immediate targets of Iran and Iran does have an operative network in the United States that could inflict terror here at home. Iran has discussed closing the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation, this will make gas prices potentially rise up to 10 dollars a gallon as ships will now face the risk of exploding via mines. Earlier today, 6 B2s bombers very publicly began flying towards Iran through the pacific - but one can assume that they were a diversion and that the B2s actually came via the Atlantic. Israel was reportedly told in advance, but no word on our European allies. Experts say that bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities won’t solve the problem and make it far more likely that Iran will eventually make a bomb and potentially use it on the United States.

Trump Says Elon Is Crazy, Elon Calls For Impeachment #usa #america Trump says that Elon has gone crazy and is now threatening to cut SpaceX and Tesla’s contracts with the government. Elon then tweeted “Time to drop the really big bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” So first Trump tweeted- “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!” Elon replied saying “This just gets better and better. go ahead and make my day” while retweeting that this would destroy the international space station. This would also cut off parts of the US military’s communications and take down almost all of Ukraine’s communications. Trump also said that Elon was “wearing thin” and that he asked him to leave. Elon says this is “an obvious lie. So sad.” Elon also appears to be threatening to start his own political party. And he issued a threat to Republicans saying “Some food for thought for Republicans: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years” Elon also repeated that he is the reason Trump won again. Elon is now saying "In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately and Trump is saying he doesn't care that Elon has turned against him but he should have done it much earlier. Elon is also saying Trump should be impeached.

Trump Creating New Fighter Jet Because He “Doesn’t Believe In Stealth” #usa #america Trump is now designing fighter jets for the Air Force because he thinks stealth isn’t real and says that the fighters are ugly because of it. Earlier today, Trump gave a press conference and he said a few things about fighter jets. So to start he said “I'm not a huge believer in stealth, because stealth is basically a lot of it's designed into shape. And, you know, I'm I'm sure you maybe think. But also if if that's the case taken to figure it out pretty fast, I think. So you're going to design an ugly plane for stealth reasons. And then six months later they're going to figure out this, and then you're stuck with a plane now.” He also said that he's going to redesign the F-35 to the F-55 with a simple upgrade and it will have two engines instead of one because he doesn’t like single engines. One aviation researcher reacted to this saying - “Yes for sure, take a F-35 and simply add a second engine to it! And that happens when idiots talk about stuff they simply do not understand!” The F-35 is supposed to be in service until 2060, and it’s the most expensive plane ever created. The War Zone said that a dual engine F-35 might be of interest to people but that they would have to completely redesign the entire aircraft. They also expressed skepticism over the F-55 actually happening for a few reasons: “The U.S. Air Force is clearly struggling to afford the programs it already has on its books including the F-47.” And - There is also the very real possibility, and even some would argue a probability, that, with the F-55, Trump was describing an altogether non-existent program.” Noting the time Trump announced a delivery of F-52 and F-35 fighters to Norway but that he was confused, and what actually happened was the delivery of 52 F-35s to Norway.

ICE Crashes Into Car, Shoots It, And Then Flees Scene?! #usa #america ICE is being accused of crashing into someone’s car, shooting at their car, and then fleeing the scene. The LAPD is investigating this as an assault with a deadly weapon and as a hit and run because they fled the scene. A suspect hasn’t been named because ICE wears masks without badges and name tags. This comes as the Los Angeles Unified School District is setting up an anti-ICE perimeter. The LA school police will set up a perimeter meant to block ICE from raiding schools and graduations. ICE will only be allowed access if they have a JUDICIAL warrant signed by a judge which ICE doesn’t really use. When asked what happens if ICE tries to do a raid anyways, the Superintendent said that the police will have a full fledged stand off with them. All school staff have received training on how to read a warrant and on how to interact with ICE to stop the kidnappings of America’s kids. The Superintendent says the law is on their side. This comes as ICE is breaking the law nationwide. They are reportedly going around public places and, without warrants or a reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation, demanding that people show papers. If this is true, this is a 4th amendment violation. It is illegal for ICE to do roving or suspicionless document checks. They, like all of law enforcement, need a warrant or a clear suspicion. So attorneys say that going to a Home Depot as they are and asking people to show their papers is unconstitutional. Someone’s skin color or occupation is not a valid reason for suspicion. Even the stinking moral carcass that is Stephen Miller knows this. And this is exactly how ICE managed to detain and attempted to deport a US Marshall last week.

California Threatens To Stop Paying Taxes As Trump Threatens To Cut Funding #usa #california Trump is preparing to cut funding to California because they don’t align with his political views and California is saying that they’ll stop paying federal taxes if that happens. No state has ever attempted to stop paying federal taxes but it’s also pretty unprecedented to withhold tax funds from a state. California is the 4th largest economy in the world, pays 100B more in taxes to the federal government than it gets back, and is the largest agricultural, manufacturing, culture, and tech state in the country. They are by far the most powerful state and 1 in 8 Americans is Californian. If California stopped paying federal taxes, red states would really struggle as they require California’s taxes in order to fund their states. Currently there is a growing secession movement in California. There is a ballot initiative that is collecting signatures to have Californians vote on whether to leave the US. And a poll taken in January of this year by YouGov shows that 61% of Californians believe the state would be better off if it seceded. They are not the only ones feeling this way, MGT infamously called for a national divorce. And polling shows 1 in 4 Americans would support blue states and red states becoming two different countries.

Pope Leo XIV Is First American To Be Pope #usa #america A new pope has been elected! Pope Leo XIV. He is the first American to be elected Pope, he is from Chicago and he went to Villanova University and is a fan of the Chicago Cubs. He has been said to be a close confidant of Francis. Pope Leo supports allowing divorced and remarried Catholics to get communion. He is said to be supportive of LGBT, but less than Francis. He has also been critical of JD Vance and the Trump administration. He shared an article in February titled: JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others. But since the Pope is from Chicago that means no ketchup on hot dogs is now canonical law. Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

US Cities On High Alert As Iran Seeks To Cut Off Oil To World #usa #america US cities are now on high alert for terror attacks from Iran The IRGC says they will be closing the strait of Hormuz which will sever the oil supply for the entire world. Iran has called an emergency UN Security Council meeting over the US’s attack and now the Iranian foreign minister is meeting with Putin. Putin’s deputy says that countries are ready to directly lend their nuclear weapons to Iran. The Pope and more and more countries have condemned the US for attacking Iran. We finally have satellite imagery of the Fordow aftermath, as you can see there are clear signs of caving in and of the tunnel entrances being sealed with dirt. Iran and Russia say that all of the damage is cosmetic but the US says it’s gone. It’s being reported that the B2s dropped the bombs down a ventilation shaft at Fordow in order to hit deeper into the facility. The U.S. targeted the main hallways at Fordow. If the U.S. had any doubts that the MOPs would be able to penetrate and destroy the main halls, they would have aimed for the tunnel entrances. Analysts are warning that just because you blew up the site doesn’t mean Iran still can’t develop a nuclear weapon. Saudi Arabia is on a high security alert following strikes by the U.S. on Iran. Bahrain and Kuwait have also made preparations on Sunday for the possibility that the Iran conflict might spread to their territory. Now more and more congressmen are speaking out about these strikes but it shows how little Democrats understand the Constitution. The constitution says very clearly that no war shall be declared except through an announcement on truth social a few minutes after an attack

JD Vance Meme Gets Man Detained & Kicked Out Of America #usa #norway This photo of JD Vance got this man thrown in jail, so he says. This Norwegian man came to America for a 2 month vacation where he would visit New York, Texas, and then explore our national parks with his mom. When he arrived at Newark airport, he said customs pulled him aside and told him that if he didn’t unlock their phone for them - he would be fined at least $5,000 or spend 5 years in prison. He gave them the password and then they went through his photos, and upon finding this photo of JD Vance - they denied him entry and canceled his vacation. Before we go any further, you should remember that this was a trend a few months ago that JD Vance himself participated in. The Customs agents, though, apparently didn’t find the photo funny, and they allegedly pushed him against a wall and forcibly strip-searched him. He says he was then forced to give blood samples, a facial scan, and fingerprints. They also asked him about drug smuggling, terrorist plans, and right wing extremism. He was then allegedly thrown in a cell for 5 hours without food or water, and then deported back to Oslo. He says he has not received an explanation or documentation for why he was denied entry. Back in March, a French scientist was refused entry because he criticized Trump in his private text messages. And earlier this month, they searched and denied entry to an Australian journalist for writing about the Columbia protests last year. There’s a lot of irony here. The Trump regime continues to criticize Europe for a perceived lack of free speech but god forbid you say anything about him and his cronies, and they come kick down your door. Free speech is fundamental to the American identity and we’re seeing it being stripped away from us every day.

Trump Wants Red States To Invade Blue States?! #usa #america Trump is trying to get red states to invade blue states. The Administration is reportedly looking at having governors of red states order their national guard troops into blue states without their consent. Today ICE attempted a work place raid and watch what this elderly gentleman said to them. In Tucson, Arizona - protesters formed what I can only describe as Roman style military lines with shields. They shot them with paintballs and threw metal barricades at them causing ICE to retreat. Even more protests have broken out from sea to shining sea. We’re even seeing protests in North Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, Louisiana, Indiana, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. This Saturday, tens of millions are expected to protest in nearly 2,000 cities for No Kings Day. Trump‘s disapproval rating is at a record high of 60% according to a new poll from AP. With only 39% of Americans thinking he’s doing a good job. But even he hates ICE. He said today that his immigration policy is taking away “very good, long time workers”… and then blamed Joe Biden for his own policy. Is Trump not actually the President or does he just have dementia? The Marines are expected to arrive in LA tomorrow, this comes as the national guard has been deployed in Texas, and Trump is looking at deploying the military to even more American cities. Fill the streets this Saturday so you don’t fill the prisons later

Trump Is Reopening Alcatraz #usa #america Trump says he’s reopening Alcatraz, a prison island in San Francisco Bay, to lock up the most dangerous criminals. Alcatraz was closed in 1963 due to high operating costs, like really expensive - It was 3x more expensive than any other prison and it only held 300 people. This is because all food and supplies had to be dropped off by boat. The island also doesn’t have any fresh water, so nearly one million gallons had to be barged in every week. Due to the salt spray and water, the repairs needed were so expensive that the government determined it was cheaper to just build a new place than to repair it. Alcatraz is now a national park and a museum. And it’s going to cost millions if not billions of dollars to completely remodel, modernize and operate Alcatraz. Some have pointed out the absurdity of this all. We had DOGE because we supposedly couldn’t continue to fund cancer research, veteran’s healthcare, and libraries and museums but we suddenly have money to rebuild Alcatraz, have a military parade for Trump’s birthday, and now pay undocumented people $1,000 to self-deport. It’s just bizarre. And it’s not really clear why Trump has decided on this. We have maximum security prisons like ADX Florence, and unlike Alcatraz, no one has escaped from it.

US Poised To Declare War On Iran #usa #america The US looks poised to enter into war with Iran very soon. Trump has told Tehran to evacuate, the joint chiefs of staff are at the White House, Trump has ordered the NSC to gather in the situation room and he has left the G7 early. The Pentagon is denying that the US is going to enter the war and says that it’s all ”defensive posturing” But… Trump says he needed to leave early from the G7 for “obvious reasons” because he has “big stuff” going on. Trump has spent the past two hours kind of telling the whole world that we are going to strike Iran but maybe he’s just being Trump. Earlier today, we reported that another carrier has been to the region and over 32 tankers were sent to southern Europe last night. We’re also seeing other countries moving their military assets out of the US base in Qatar, including Qatar who moved some of its own assets to Turkey. And over the US right now, there are at least 7 tankers working together with 5 more tankers taking off and heading east. This could indicate that B1 bombers are already in the air. A U-28 special operations command jet landed in St John’s in preparation to cross the Atlantic tonight. Are you team “nothing ever happens” or do you believe the US is bombing Iran soon?

The Most Interesting Man In The World #usa #america
