Our U.N Ambassador quizzed by NBC host on Iran

Mike Waltz fires back at NBC host pressing on Iran: 'President Trump is ending it

' United Nations Ambassador Mike Waltz delivered a pointed rebuke to "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker on Sunday after she repeatedly pressed him on whether the United States was "at war" with Iran. She kept asking.

Waltz refused to play the semantic game, redirecting the conversation to the decades of American blood spilled by Iranian proxies and the administration's resolve to finally end the threat.

The exchange came days after President Donald Trump announced in a video posted to Truth Social early Feb. 28 that the United States military and Israel Defense Forces had launched strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran's regime. Six American service members were killed on March 1 when an Iranian strike hit a technical operations center in Kuwait.

Welker opened by framing the question around language, telling Waltz that "words matter" and asking whether the Trump administration described its operations as a war against Iran. Waltz didn't bite.

The framing of Welker's question is worth pausing on. The implication was clear: pin the administration down with a single word so it can be weaponized in the next news cycle.

If Waltz says "war," Democrats get a talking point about unilateral escalation. If he says it's not a war, the press gets to call the strikes disproportionate to whatever lesser term he uses. It's a familiar trap, and Waltz walked right past it.

Protests at Gracie Mansion

Counter-protester lights explosive amid anti-Mamdani protest, utters 'Allahu Akbar'

— but NYC mayor Mamdani rips 'bigotry and racism'

A counter-protester lit what police said was an explosive device during a protest Saturday against Mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York City. The counter-protester also was caught on video uttering "Allahu Akbar" as police were arresting him.

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Sunday announced that the device was real — not a hoax device or smoke bomb, WNYW reported.

The initial protest, called “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City,” was led by Jake Lang; police called Lang a "far-right provocateur." The protest outside Gracie Mansion — the mayor's residence — drew a counter-protest dubbed “Run The Nazis Out Of NYC.”

Fistfights erupted between the two sides, the New York Times reported.

Tisch stated during a press conference following the altercation that counter-protester Emir Balat, 18, “lit and threw an ignited device.”

Balat then ran to retrieve a similar device from another man — identified as 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi — lit the device, ran toward the protest, and dropped it, WNYW-TV reported. [Blaze]

Trump's IRGC Ultimatum: Surrender to Operation Epic Fury or Face Certain Death

Trump Gave the IRGC One Ultimatum and They Now Face Guaranteed Death

Iran's military has been the world's leading sponsor of terror for 46 years.

Now its navy is on fire and its missile launches have dropped 90 percent in six days.

Trump already warned them what would happen – and this week he looked the IRGC straight in the eye and delivered the final terms.

"I'm once again calling on all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the military, and the police to lay down their arms," Trump said Thursday. "They're only going to be killed."

Trump went further, urging Iranian diplomats around the world to request asylum and help build what he called "a new and better Iran."

That same day, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth flew to CENTCOM headquarters in Tampa to put numbers behind the president's words.

The results from Operation Epic Fury are not subtle. Iran has lost more than 30 ships, including a drone carrier the size of a World War II aircraft carrier that was still on fire as Hegseth spoke.

Ballistic missile attacks are down 90 percent since day one of the operation. Drone attacks are down 83 percent. U.S. bombers have struck nearly 200 targets deep inside Iran in the past 72 hours alone, dropping dozens of 2,000-pound penetrator bombs on buried missile launchers.

County Inspector General chosen

Kalinthia Dillard named next county inspector general

The IG committee unanimously selected Dillard, who will take over in June when Inspector General John Carey retires. Inspector general, Palm Beach County.

Initially, the panel selected four finalists. Matthew Dove, with the U.S. Department of Energy, withdrew, and Anthony Zakel, formerly with the U.S. International Development Finance Corp., was unavailable until April because of a medical issue, Palm Beach County recruitment manager Paul Mattedo said.

Panelists filled out paper ballots and committee member and former Lake Worth Beach Mayor Rodney Romano counted the votes.

“I thought they were both highly, highly qualified,” Romano said after announcing Dillard as the appointee.

Democrats Lost the War Powers Vote, Now They Want Impeachment

Washington’s latest political drama isn’t really about the War Powers Resolution—it’s about losing a vote and refusing to accept the result.

After President Donald Trump launched the February 28 air campaign against Iran—Operation Epic Fury—Democrats rushed to claim the move was illegal. But when they attempted to terminate the operation using the exact mechanism provided by the War Powers Resolution, they lost in both chambers of Congress.

Now the rhetoric has shifted from legislative debate to impeachment talk. The timeline tells a simpler story: Trump notified Congress within the required window, Congress voted, and the attempt to stop the operation failed. [Time.com]

Top Gulf Cartel Boss Nabbed in Salamanca, a city and municipality in the Mexican state of Guanajuato

Top Gulf Cartel Boss Nabbed in Guanajuato

They picked him up on March 5, 2026. The target: Roberto “Beto” Bazán Salinas. He’s a high-ranking operator for the Gulf Cartel.

The arrest came from a coordinated binational push. U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) worked with Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office (FGR). Interpol and the DEA chipped in. ICE had already put him on an international arrest warrant and listed him among priority targets on January 21, 2026.

Authorities say Bazán Salinas ran logistics for massive drug shipments. Cocaine. Methamphetamine. Marijuana. The routes moved product from the Matamoros region in Tamaulipas into the United States. Prosecutors describe multimillion-dollar loads and a clear cross-border pipeline.

HSI offices in Monterrey, Matamoros, and Beaumont led the probe. Finding him in Guanajuato — far from the cartel’s old northeastern stronghold — shows how far these groups can spread. They follow weakness. They exploit gaps.

Trump was Right

Media finally admits Trump got it right in Colorado

Last year, one of the big stories in the cycle was regarding violent gangs taking over apartment complexes in Colorado.

When Trump brought up the report, the media and Democrats showed up in force to say it was all a conspiracy theory.

The New York Times, however, just published a report admitting that Trump had it right.

We all knew that!

But but even the report was still a bit twisted, with a headline, “Democrats Denied This City Had a Gang Problem. The Truth Is Complicated.”

The truth is not complicated at all. The city and complex had a massive gang problem. The gang took over the complex and was shaking down residents. That is what was claimed, and that is precisely what happened, and what led to the shutdown of the complex.

Mayor Betty Resch wants you to Vote YES on ballot initiatives

Because the City can't maintain itself, so let's give it away to developers for 100 years.

Mayor Betty Resch supports the Ballot initiatives

"As your mayor, I walk our streets and see two different versions of Lake Worth Beach. I see the city we all love — rich in history, character and diversity.

But I also see the physical toll that decades of delayed maintenance and an outdated city charter have taken on our most precious assets. On March 10, we face a defining moment. We can choose to cling to the no-to-everything mentality that wants no change, or we can choose to provide a better future for Lake Worth Beach.

Our city is at a critical point, both physically and fiscally. Our 100-year-old municipal golf course needs major renovations and updating; the clubhouse needs some loving care. The historic city hall annex — a major historic contributor to our downtown — now sits empty but could once again be functional. At the beach, our empty pool is a sad example of decades of neglect. Our current charter lease limits make public-private investment nearly impossible.

The hard truth is that clinging to the past and fearing the future cannot fix leaking roofs or flooding greens. We are facing a looming financial crisis that we cannot ignore."

Now the City is deathly afraid of what might happen in the Florida Legislature that would collapse their general fund because they can't ever save a dime.

"The Florida Legislature is considering two bills that could devastate our city’s budget: one that could cut nearly $8.5 million from our property taxes and another that would slash over $16.2 million from our general fund. This is a potential $24.7 million hit to the services you rely on every day. Cities all over Florida are facing this devastating legislation. There are no provisions to replace those funding sources. Ballot questions 2 and 3 are the keys to our revitalization," she says.

In November 2016, Lake Worth voters approved a $40 million, 30-year bond specifically to address deteriorating, crumbling roads throughout the city. How about an update on the funds still available as we have to pay for 20 more years and some of the roads still need repairs that are constant. Now the city is into affordable housing again and recently received an $850,000 grant which doesn't cover our expenses.

Thanks to Commissioner Suzanne Mulvehill, in 2013 we had a Charter Amendment that passed--placed on the ballot and approved by voters on March 12, 2013, solidifying the 45-foot and 35-foot height limits, with exceptions for existing buildings and previously approved permits.

Money comes and money goes as quickly as we get it. So, we are supposed to vote in 99 year leases for our entire city? A 'no' keeps the rule that voters must approve those leases by referendum..

Democrat poll numbers going down - 29% Approval Rating

Democrats Just Hit a Record Low and Nobody Noticed Because the Media Is Busy Covering Trump Polls

Democrats lost the White House, the Senate, and the House in 2024 after promising to save democracy.

Now a brand new Fox News poll shows the party that was supposedly the last line of defense against fascism just hit 29% approval with the American people. And that's actually a good number for them. Fox News Poll Finds Congressional Democrats at Record 70% Disapproval.

Let's start with what Fox News found. Congressional Democrats are sitting at a record 70% disapproval rating. Seventy percent. That's not a typo, and that's not a partisan pollster.

That's Fox News – the same outlet Democrats spent years demanding you not trust – delivering the worst numbers in the poll's history for the party of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Gallup found Schumer's personal approval rating at 39% among his own Democrats — down from 76% just two years ago.

The Wall Street Journal poll from mid-2025 found Democrats at their lowest favorability rating in more than 30 years – net negative 30 points, with 63% of voters saying the party was "out of touch" with everyday Americans.

Out of touch.

Wasserman Schultz Commits to Iran Supplemental Funding

Wasserman Schultz Just Broke With Her Own Party to Side With Trump on Iran War

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is one of the most powerful Democrats in Washington.

The former DNC head just made a move that will surprise many. The Florida Democrat just announced she'll vote yes on supplemental funding for Operation Epic Fury.

On Friday's broadcast of Bloomberg's Balance of Power, Wasserman Schultz made it official.

"I will support a supplemental," she told co-host Joe Mathieu, "because we have our military over there and we need to make sure that we're protecting our national security interests and ensuring that they have the resources that they need."

She wrapped the announcement in qualifications – no day-after plan, insufficient preparation, Congress wasn't consulted.

But the bottom line: when the vote comes, she's a yes.

Biden Autopen Pardons Were the Presidential Scandal of the Decade and DOJ Just Let It Die.

The House Oversight Committee spent months building the case.

Fourteen depositions. Forty-seven hours of testimony. A report documenting how Biden's inner circle – Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, and Dr. Kevin O'Connor – exercised presidential power while Biden declined behind closed doors.

All three aides pleaded the Fifth Amendment rather than answer a single question under oath. And Pam Bondi's DOJ just shrugged.

CBS News confirmed that prosecutors in Jeanine Pirro's DC US Attorney's office dropped the criminal probe because they "were never able to find a legal hook" to pursue the matter. The New York Times called it the latest sign that DOJ could not convert Trump's demands into prosecutions.

That's not a legal problem. That's a failure of will. [pantsonfire]

The Union in the UK is running the show

British Navy's response to Iran delayed since repair yard only works 9-to-5

The Royal Navy's mission to intercept Iranian drone threats has stalled in port because the Portsmouth repair yard now operates on a "nine-to-five" schedule.

The high-stakes mission to protect a British airbase from Iranian drone strikes remains on hold while maintenance crews finish welding and system overhauls during standard business hours, according to union officials, The Telegraph reported.

The deployment of HMS Dragon, a Type 45 air-defense destroyer designed to intercept high-speed missile and drone threats to Cyprus has been delayed because the Ministry of Defence and private contractor Serco reportedly introduced these restricted shifts as a "cost-cutting" measure that sacrifices military readiness for budget targets.

As the HMS Dragon sits in dry dock, the U.K. finds itself lagging behind international allies who have already moved assets into the region. Military analysts point out that the air-defense destroyer is now expected to arrive in Cyprus a full two weeks after French and Spanish warships have already reached the theater of operations.

The sources told The Telegraph that the new £1 billion (approx. $1.34 billion) contract reduced essential cover and forced the Navy to rely on staff volunteering for weekends to get the ship combat ready, which it didn't.

Surrender or face guaranteed death

Hegseth warns that firepower over Tehran will 'surge dramatically' as Trump tells Iranian soldiers to surrender or face death

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a blunt message to Iran on Thursday: what you've seen so far is just the opening act.

Speaking at a press conference in Tampa, Hegseth said the combined US-Israeli operation against the Iranian regime is about to escalate significantly, and that Tehran's hope of outlasting American resolve amounts to a fatal miscalculation.

"The amount of firepower over Iran and over Tehran is about to surge dramatically."

Hours later, President Trump stood at the White House and issued his own warning, this time directly to the men carrying guns for the regime.

"I'm once again calling on all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the military and the police to lay down their arms. Now is the time to stand up for the Iranian people and help take back your country."
Trump offered immunity to those who comply. For those who don't, he promised "guaranteed death."

Six days into the conflict that began with a US-Israeli strike that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior officials, the war has expanded across the Gulf and beyond. Iran has answered with everything it has. It is not enough.
