Israel attacks Iran, what it means

Bonchie, one of RedState's featured writers, reported earlier tonight that Israel has attacked Iran against the Biden administration's wishes. In fact, Bonchie embedded this tweet in his article:

Further, CNN is reporting "Israel had told the US on Thursday it would be retaliating against Iran in the coming days, a senior US official said. 'We didn't endorse the response,' the official said."

What we know:

  • Israel carried out a limited military strike against Iran and is assessing its effectiveness and the damage it caused, a source familiar with the situation told NBC News.
  • Iranian state media reports that air defense systems were engaged in several provinces and that nuclear sites in Isfahan, in central Iran, are safe. Meanwhile, the state media appeared to downplay the impact of a possible Israeli strike in the country.
  • Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States had "not been involved in any offensive operations" when asked about the Israeli strike on Iran. Separately, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News that Israeli officials notified the U.S. that a response was coming.
  • Flights in Iran resumed with no restrictions today. A state run news agency reported earlier that flights were suspended in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz.
  • Israel had vowed it would respond to Iran's retaliatory attack Saturday, when Iran fired more than 300 drones and missiles at Israel in its first direct military assault on the country. The strikes did not cause widespread damage or death.
  • The Iranian strikes were in retaliation for an Israeli strike April 1 on an Iranian consular building in Syria, which killed two of Tehran’s top generals.
This report and analysis from Australia's Sky News is both informative and chilling:

Unlike the US MSM, the press around the world hasn't bought into selling Biden. When Lincoln Parker says "Israel has just shown Iran that it can deep into their territory very close to their nuclear facilities so Iran is quaking in their boots. They didn't know that it was going to happen. They didn't know that Israel would be able to do that."

That's gotten Iran's undivided attention. Their nuclear facilities are Iran's crown jewel accomplishment. Now, Israel has shown that they're vulnerable. That's the terrible news for Iran. Next, we'll cover the terrible news for the U.S.

Of the U.S., the anchor said to Lincoln Parker "He told Iran 'Don't, don't, don't but they did, did, did. The U.S. is of no help to anybody right now." Here's Lincoln Parker's reply:

Unfortunately, the United States under Joe Bidend is going backwards. It's making the world less safe. It's making the United States less safe. He has been a foreign policy disaster. Look at the wars we have going on around the world and we're probably going to see another war pretty soon.
Parker is right. Why should China wait until Trump is president to invade Taiwan? It's in China's expansionist interests to invade while Biden is the weak U.S. president.

Israel has given Iran lots of things to get worried about. Iran's crown jewel is vulnerable. Israel has given U.S. voters plenty to think about, too. Do we want a weak POTUS or do we want Trump? For all of Biden's tough-sounding talk, the results are paltry.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
