Exclusive: Israel's Foreign Minister Sa'ar Praises Trump, Remarkable Leadership
Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar appeared on Newsmax on Sunday, saying President Donald Trump is showing remarkable leadership in addressing Iran's nuclear program. Sa'ar compared Trump's handling of the Iran crisis to President Bill Clinton's response to Iran's nuclear program in the 1990s. "Think back to the mid-'90s when President [Bill] Clinton threatened North Korea not to develop nuclear weapons, but eventually, in the historic moment, he didn't act," Sa'ar said. "And therefore today North Korea has nuclear weapons." Trump, Sa'ar said, acted decisively in concert with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the nuclear threat in the region. Sa'ar also said there was strong impetus for Israel and the U.S. to strike now because intelligence showed Tehran was preparing to move key elements of its nuclear program into deep underground facilities. The move would place them beyond the reach of airstrikes, Sa'ar said in an exclusive interview with Newsmax's Greta Van Susteren. The interview was his first with a U.S. media outlet since the war began. "We understood they are going to take their nuclear program to a very deep underground installation, which it will be immune there," Sa'ar said. "That moment would put them in a de facto immunity from airstrikes," he added. "So that was the moment that a decision must be taken in order to act." Sa'ar said letting Iran develop nuclear weapons would dramatically increase the danger posed by a regime that already destabilizes the Middle East and targets U.S. allies. "Imagine how they will act if they were today with a nuclear umbrella, if they are simply attacking now without a nuclear umbrella all the neighbor states," he said. "It's very dangerous." Because of those risks, Sa'ar said leaders in Washington and Jerusalem concluded delaying action would only make the situation worse. "When you realize that diplomacy doesn't work, you need to decide whether to act," Sa'ar said. "Not acting right now was much more dangerous than acting." Van Susteren noted that the U.S had made repeated attempts to engage Iran diplomatically, including outreach by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. Sa'ar said those efforts failed because Tehran would not engage on the central issues Washington raised. "I think that the U.S. tried diplomacy, but Iran even didn't come closer to the demands that the U.S. had put on the table," Sa'ar said. "They were not ready even to talk," he added, referring to U.S. demands related to Iran's nuclear program, including ending weapons and ballistic missile development and support for militant proxies such as the Houthis. Because of Iran's refusal, Sa'ar said Trump, Netanyahu, and others had to decide whether to take action. Sa'ar also noted Israel has had no direct diplomatic engagement with Iran for roughly the past two decades because of the Iranian regime's longstanding commitment to Israel's destruction. When asked whether Israel had any conversations with Iranian officials in the past 10 to 20 years, Sa'ar replied simply, "No." "It's a state that swore to eliminate the state of Israel and acted consistently to achieve that," he said. Sa'ar said Iran has continually tried to weaken Israel by building and financing militant groups across the region. "They tried to eliminate us by surrounding us with terror proxies like Hezbollah or Hamas or the Houthis, which they financed during the years," Sa'ar said. The Iranian regime's hostility is not limited to Israel, he added. "So this regime is probably not with good intentions towards us, but neither to the United States," Sa'ar said. He pointed out that attacks are also being staged "deliberately [against] all United States allies in the region. "You can see today that they are attacking deliberately all United States allies in the region, including countries which are not friendly with Israel but are friends of the United States like Qatar and others." Sa'ar also dismissed claims circulating in the U.S. suggesting Israel might seek territorial expansion inside Iran. "It is ridiculous because Iran is 1,500 kilometers from us," he said. "They don't share borders with us. "We have Jordan and Iraq, quite big countries between us and Iran. We never had a border with Iran, and we don't have any such intention. "Anyone who is saying that never looked at the map." |
Cuba on the Brink: Trump Says Country 'In Its Last Moments of Life' As Anti-Regime Protests Escalate
 |
Since 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has haunted the U.S. with its hostage-taking, support of terrorism around the globe, threats to acquire nuclear weapons and vaporize Israel, and attempts to assassinate Donald Trump. Despite decades of presidential talking, the current commander in
chief is the first one to really make a serious move to neutralize the
threat posed by Iran, and Operation Epic Fury has wiped out virtually
their entire leadership structure. The final outcome is as yet unknown,
but I think it’s safe to say that “action has been taken.” But there’s another country that’s bedeviled us even longer: the República de Cuba. Sitting just 90 miles off our shores, the communist regime was birthed by the late dictator Fidel Castro in 1959 following a revolution, and it almost brought us a nuclear-infused World War 3 with the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1980, meanwhile, Castro sent some of the Caribbean country’s most violent, depraved criminals to Florida in the Mariel Boatlift. If you want to see psychotic, just watch Brian De Palma’s 1983 masterpiece "Scarface," starring Al Pacino. Although it was obviously a fictional representation of what was going on, it was based on real-life events. President Donald Trump thinks the regime that has kept that country in the 1950s is on life support, which is soon set to expire.
Kristi Noem Responds to Being Fired As DHS Secretary, Thanks Trump for the New Gig Meanwhile, protests continue to gather steam across the island, according to multiple reports: Trump is not just using the stick, though; he reportedly is in discussions to use the carrot and come to an economic agreement with Cuba that would give an off-ramp for President Miguel Díaz-Canel. Details of that possible deal are scant at this time. At the "Shield of the Americas" summit at his golf course in Doral, Florida, Saturday, however, the commander-in-chief took a more coercive stance: Trump:
Could President Trump achieve what was once considered impossible, getting rid of two of the world’s most despotic, anti-American regimes in a matter of mere months? For myself, I’ve never understood why we didn’t pay back Iran in spades for their taking of American hostages for 444 days, and I’ve never comprehended why we’ve allowed a pugilist communist Cuban regime to throw stones at us for decades just miles off our shores. If Trump were able to destroy both these evils in quick succession, it would be absolutely historic, and to both those regimes, I would say, good riddance, and I hope whatever God you believe in treats you with whatever level of mercy that you deserve. |
Gavin Newsom Is Asked About His Goals - His Response Clearly Shows Why He Should Not Be President
 |
We've seen people implode when they've run for president. But I don't think we've seen someone who hasn't even officially declared yet implode as badly as California Gov Gavin Newsom has been doing. Let's be frank, he isn't exactly facing tough questions as he tools
around on his book tour, trying to increase his national presence. We
even saw Katie Couric asking him about how good-looking he was. Nice
suck-up "journalism" there, Katie. READ MORE: Cringeworthy Question in New Gavin Newsom Interview Might Be Worst Media Take of the Day But that said, he still has trouble answering basic questions. He got in trouble in Georgia, where he told a black mayor, "I'm just like you," then went on to say that he had a 960 SAT, and couldn't read a speech. Then, he lost his mind and cursed at Sean Hannity for asking him a question, and Newsom's team doubled down by telling a reporter to "f**k off" when she asked about documents for his dyslexia diagnosis. READ MORE: Newsom's Epic Crash Out As He Panics and Implodes in Backlash Over GA Remarks First, There Was Newsom's Implosion Over His GA Remarks, Now His Team Is Making It Worse He seems to think the way to show he's "presidential" is to attack President Donald Trump. But that just makes him look desperate. But when it came down to being asked about his goals as he preps for a possible run for 2028, his answer was a great example of why he isn't fit for the position. Adam Friedland asks him what his political goal is, what is it that he wants to accomplish. His answer was incredibly vapid. He dares to mention Mahatma Gandhi, Vaclav Havel, and Nelson Mandela? Those were guys with specific ideas and goals. Newsom, on the other hand, couldn't even name one, although I have to say he had about 17 different hand motions in the process of saying nothing. He just wants to name them as though he can float on their "zeitgeist." Who would fall for any of this? Newsom just wants us to vote for him for 60s vibes. Why would we do that when we rejected a similar empty-headed answer from Kamala Harris in 2024? Remember, she couldn't think of what she would do differently from Joe Biden, who the public knew had delivered a spectacularly bad occupation of the White House. If we were to go a bit further into the wayback machine, there was this infamous historical example of a bad answer similar to Gavin's. This tanked Sen. Ted Kennedy badly before he had even declared for the 1980 race. There was that same question: What would you do differently from Carter? And like Kamala, he couldn't give a real answer. But at least he wasn't doing the wild Newsom twisting and hand movements. That question isn't supposed to be a hard one — what you want to do should be basic in your DNA. We saw that with Trump — fix the border to help keep people safer, and he did that. When you are focused, you achieve. But if you want America to vote for you because of vibes, they're going to move past you to someone who can get results. We've already seen with Gavin in California, that's not him. |
This Is How What Democratic Socialists of America Really Think of Displaced Iranians and Cubans
 |
The Left loves to talk about respecting people's "lived experiences," especially when it comes to DEI nonsense. But, as with everything the Left says, there are some people with lived experiences that threaten the Left's political agenda, so that notion of respecting "lived experiences" has a short shelf life. For a long time, Leftists have attacked people who fled communist
nations who speak out against the horrors of communism, because they
reveal the truth about that ideology: it's oppressive, violent, and
impoverishes everyone. Normally, the Left is just happy to dismiss these
people. Now, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is escalating things, calling for the deaths of Cubans and Iranians in the diaspora because they disrupt the Left's narratives. "Seeing the Iranian diaspora like, just, cheer on their country getting just bombed, like what?" Lakhdar-Hamina said. "There has to be an Olympic competition between the worst [worms] in the world and on the podium, you know, competing for gold. You have the Cubans on the one side and the Iranians on the other. You know, just bomb ... large swaths of L.A. and Miami. We'd be, it'd be a better planet for it."
Yes, they are. And violence against their political opponents. They've not only bought into the IRGC propaganda, they hate America and want to remake it as a communist nightmare. Cubans and Iranians make America look good and communism/totalitarianism look bad, so they must be eliminated. Unambiguously. Their mayor in NYC dismissed Islamic terrorism just this weekend. Yes, it should. It tells us everything we need to know. The DSA is making moves to elect its candidates across the country. Mamdani was elected in NYC, and a few others have popped up in local races across the country. This video is a stark reminder of what the DSA supports, and the lengths to which it will apparently go to push its agenda. |
Why This NBC Poll on Dems and ICE Is Flat-Out Hilarious
 |
We know they’re deep in their media bubbles. Even Bill Maher has exposed that on his program. Liberal America was grossly uninformed about the COVID pandemic, and seems, ironically, disinterested in the Trump moment and the resurgence of populism. For a group that prides itself on wanting to experience new things, for lack of a better term, this is exceptionally close-minded. Ah, alas, that’s the true nature of a liberal: claiming to support other views but then recoiling or being appalled to find out that indeed other people have different takes on the issues. What kills me about this NBC News poll is that Immigration and Customs Enforcement, long dragged by the liberal media, is more popular than the Democratic Party. For all the whining, lectures, and
other liberal tantrums thrown against ICE in the wake of the Renee Good
and Alex Pretti shootings, the agency is more popular than Democrats.
What a gut punch, and something that operatives on both sides should
take note of since it’s clear the Minneapolis mayhem was a manufactured
circus. Also, in Good’s case, people who aren’t insane know a) don’t get
involved in police actions, and b) you’re going to get shot trying to
run over federal agents. In Pretti’s case, he was an unhinged leftist who tried to stop a deportation operation. Again, don’t interfere in a police action. Your emotions don’t make you right. The only thing more unpopular than Democrats is artifical intelligence. |
Global Jihadist Threat: Wake Up Call for America
 |
Ruthie Blum — a veteran journalist and former adviser in the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — is sounding the alarm, and she’s right to do so. Speaking to conservative outlets, Blum warned that the wave of violence and intimidation we’re seeing against Jews and Western institutions are not random or isolated; they are symptoms of a coordinated global jihadist campaign. Americans who love freedom should listen when someone who has worked inside Israel’s corridors of power tells us the threat is systemic and spreading. The facts back her
up: watchdogs and Jewish organizations have documented a sharp spike in
antisemitic incidents around the world since the Hamas massacre on
October 7, 2023, with thousands of attacks, threats, and acts of
vandalism reported across Europe, North America, and beyond. Jewish
communities have faced unprecedented abuse on campuses, streets, and
even at houses of worship, turning suburbs and city centers into front
lines. This isn’t alarmism — it’s the sober accounting of groups that
track hate crimes and trends in real time. Meanwhile, Israeli leaders and analysts have repeatedly warned that Tehran sits at the center of a regional network of terror — the “head of the octopus” whose tentacles reach into Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and other proxies across the Middle East. That assessment explains why Israel and its partners are treating isolated attacks as part of a larger strategic campaign orchestrated by a rogue state bent on exporting terror. The West would be foolish to pretend these are merely localized outbreaks of unrest; they are coordinated assaults on our values and on our allies. The violence is not confined to the battlefield. From a brutal, ISIS-inspired attack on a Jewish celebration in Australia to bloody assaults and synagogue attacks in Europe, Jewish communities are being hunted in cities that once felt safe. These headline cases are the canary in the coal mine: if we allow hostility toward Jews and defenders of Israel to metastasize, no minority — and no free society — will be safe for long. It is unconscionable that too many Western elites continue to speak in euphemisms while ordinary citizens are being targeted. Leftist moral equivalence — treating terror as a grievance rather than a crime — does not keep anyone safe; it only encourages the predators. Patriots must demand clarity: call an enemy an enemy, expose who funds and arms them, and stop pretending that “nuance” is a policy when people are dying. Policy matters: we should be strengthening intelligence sharing, cutting off the cash that fuels Tehran’s terror machine, ramping up defensive aid to Israel and Jewish communities abroad, and using every diplomatic and economic lever to isolate state sponsors of terror. Retreat and appeasement invite escalation; firm action and clear deterrence make peace more likely. The safety of our allies and the security of American streets depend on it. Hardworking Americans must stand with Israel and with Jewish neighbors at home. This is not a foreign quarrel to be left to others — it is a clash between civilization and barbarism that will touch every free country if ignored. We will defend our values, our friends, and our future, and we will not be cowed by the terrorists or the politicians who enable them. |
Woke Politics Exposed: The Date That Sparked a Racism Debate
 |
We’re living in an era where performance politics has replaced common sense, and a recent clip — discussed by conservative commentators — perfectly showcases that rot. In the footage described, a Black woman apparently walked out on a date after declaring that “Black people can be racist,” a statement that reveals both a moral confusion and a demand for special treatment from the public square. Conservatives aren’t surprised; we see the same mix of grievance and self-righteousness every time the cameras roll. It’s
intellectually dishonest to treat racism as a one-way street or a tool
reserved exclusively for one group, and yet that’s exactly what
so-called woke theory encourages. When public figures argue that racism
only exists with systemic power and therefore certain people can never
be racist, they create a double standard that excuses personal cruelty
and shields it from criticism. That legalistic dodge erodes personal
responsibility and turns honest conversation into a minefield of gotchas
and moral exemptions. Dating is where truth tends to land fast — you get a few minutes to reveal character, and if someone’s going to weaponize race as a shield or a cudgel, you walk. There’s nothing radical about expecting basic decency and refusing to tolerate a twisted moral hierarchy that allows one group to hurl prejudice while accusing others of the same sin. Americans who work, pay taxes, and try to build families don’t have time for performative virtue that masquerades as moral clarity while actually being moral cowardice. What’s especially galling is how the media and social platforms amplify these moments for clicks while giving them moral cover. The same outlets that peddle outraged coverage of imagined slights will happily let real hypocrisy slide when it fits a preferred narrative. That selective outrage isn’t journalism; it’s propaganda, and conservatives should call it out every single time. If we want a society where people of every race are treated fairly, the answer isn’t more excuses or invented hierarchies of grievance — it’s consistent standards and individual accountability. That means calling out racism or bigotry wherever it appears, refusing to let the loudest performative voices set the terms, and restoring common-sense norms about how adults behave in public. We shouldn’t reward theatrics with moral absolution. In researching the clip described, I found commentary and reaction from conservative commentators discussing the exchange, but I was unable to locate an authoritative original-source posting of the viral date moment itself; similar “walk out on a date” videos and debates over whether members of any group can be racist do exist across social platforms and coverage, showing this is part of a broader cultural trend rather than an isolated anomaly. For context on the reaction and the recurring debate around the meaning of racism, see commentary by conservative creators and recent viral examples of walk‑outs and heated date footage. |

Israel Presses Iran Assault as Tehran Nears Succession Decision
 |
Israeli forces expanded their bombardment of Iran overnight, striking fuel depots near Tehran, while Bahrain said an Iranian attack had damaged one of its desalination plants, signaling a widening assault on vital infrastructure across the region. As the fighting escalated on day nine of the U.S.-Israeli assault on
Iran, Tehran moved closer to naming a new supreme leader after the
killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with every indication suggesting his
powerful son could take charge.
Israel's military threatened to kill any replacement for Khamenei, while U.S. President Donald Trump said the war might only end once Iran's military and rulers had been wiped out. BLACK SMOKE HANGS OVER TEHRAN Video from Tehran showed thick, choking black smoke hanging over the city early on Sunday after strikes on oil storage facilities had lit up the night sky with plumes of orange flame. An Israeli source said the fuel was used to manufacture and develop weapons and to operate military bases. Iran's oil distribution company said four of its employees were killed in the blitz, adding that rationing would be introduced temporarily in some areas "to ensure fair and sustainable supplies." Shortly after the attack, which appeared to mark a new phase in the war, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government would press on with the assault and strike Iran's rulers "without mercy." "We have an organized plan with many surprises to destabilize the regime and enable change," he said in a video statement. "We have many more targets." Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he was not interested in negotiating an end to the conflict that has sent energy prices skyward, hurt business and snarled global travel. "At some point, I don't think there will be anybody left maybe to say, 'We surrender'," Trump said. IRANIAN DRONES STRIKE GULF STATES The governments of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain reported Iranian drone attacks in their countries on Saturday and early Sunday, with a huge fire engulfing a government office block in Kuwait. Kuwait's interior ministry said two of its officers were killed "while performing duties." Bahrain said on Sunday that an Iranian drone attack had caused "material damage" to a desalination plant, though the country's electricity and water authority said the strike had not disrupted water supplies. It was the first time an Arab country has said Iran targeted a desalination facility during the conflict. On Saturday, Iran said a U.S. attack had struck a freshwater desalination plant on its Qeshm Island, disrupting water supplies in 30 villages, calling it "a dangerous move with grave consequences." Saudi Arabia has told Tehran that continued Iranian attacks on the kingdom and its energy sector could push Riyadh to respond in kind, people familiar with the matter told Reuters. In an apparent attempt to cool anger across the Gulf, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to neighboring states for its attacks on U.S. bases in those countries on Saturday. His comments faced backlash from some hardliners in Iran, prompting his office to reiterate Iran's military would respond firmly to attacks from U.S. facilities. IRAN GETTING CLOSER TO NAMING A NEW LEADER The clerical body charged with choosing Iran's next supreme leader could meet as soon as Sunday to name a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an attack early in the conflict, Iranian media reported. A majority consensus over the successor has more or less been reached, said Assembly of Experts member Ayatollah Mohammadmehdi Mirbaqeri, according to the Mehr news agency. Another member of the council, Ayatollah Mohsen Heidari Alekasir, said in a video that a candidate had been selected based on Khamenei's guidance that Iran's top leader should be "hated by the enemy." Two Iranian sources told Reuters last week that the clear favorite was Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, who amassed power under his father as a senior figure in the security forces and the vast business empire they control. Choosing him would send a signal that hardliners were still firmly in charge. Trump has justified the biggest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq by saying Tehran posed an imminent threat to the United States, without providing evidence. He has also said Iran was too close to being able to build a nuclear weapon. The U.S. and Israel have discussed sending special forces into Iran to secure its stockpile of highly enriched uranium at a later stage of the war, Axios reported, citing four people with knowledge of the discussions. Asked about the possibility of sending ground troops to secure nuclear sites on Saturday, Trump said it was something they could do "later on." The U.S.-Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,332 Iranian civilians and wounded thousands, according to Iran's U.N. ambassador, Amir Saeid Iravani. Iranian attacks have killed 10 people in Israel. At least six U.S. service members have been killed, with Iran saying on Sunday it had struck U.S. bases in Kuwait. Lebanon has also been pulled into the conflict after the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah fired rockets and drones into Israel last week. At least four people were killed when Israel hit a hotel building in central Beirut early on Sunday, with Israel saying it had targeted Iranian commanders operating in the Lebanese capital. It was the first such strike in the heart of Beirut, prompting fears Israel would expand its attacks to areas beyond where Hezbollah traditionally operates. |
