@VigilantFox Won't he be surprised when the boots on Kharg Island are Israeli.

Tucker Carlson begins laughing on-air as his “I told you so” moment on Iran seems to have finally arrived. “Boots on the ground” was once dismissed as a “conspiracy theory.” Now that “conspiracy theory” appears to be coming true, as The Jerusalem Post reports that the Mossad Director predicted on the eve of the war that regime change in Iran would likely take “A YEAR.” Tucker reacted with a brief burst of laughter before delivering this response to the news: “So that right there is Israel saying, ‘We’re going to need the commitment of American troops. Americans are going to have to go there.’” “And surprise, surprise, Americans are going there. There’s not been an invasion of Iran, of the mainland, or any of the islands in the Persian Gulf just yet. But there is clearly preparation for that.” “There are many thousands of US troops headed there right now. Some are already stationed in the area.” “And this looks like the kind of preparation that you would do if you were planning a land assault on a huge mountainous country that’s surprisingly cohesive and very well armed.”

@ahauslohner @HudsonInstitute Why can't the U.S. just provide close air and water support to protect Israeli troops who actually land on the island(s)?

Vocal discomfort among Repubs, as 1000s of US combat troops are deployed to the Mideast. Sen. Joni Ernst (R), an Iraq war vet, said earlier at @HudsonInstitute that one cld “speculate” troops could be used to take Kharg. But: "My hope is that we don’t see boots on the ground.”

@JewishWarrior13 It's under 24/7 surveillance via satellites and drones. Any supply ships would be destroyed in transit. It's pure fantasy that Iran can meaningfully resupply it without notice.

🚨CNN: Iran has set traps and moved additional military forces and air defense systems to Kharg Island in recent weeks, in preparation for the possibility of a US operation to capture the island. US allies in the Gulf warn the US of significant losses to its forces if it continues with a ground operation there and recommend not carrying it out.

@nicksortor The last time Thune decided to take a weekend off instead of finishing a DHS bill, there was a shooting in Minnesota and the Dems changed their mind about passing the DHS funding, because of ICE. STAY ON THE JOB!

🚨 BREAKING: Senator Daines just said that the Senate has decided to DEFY Trump’s request to skip Easter recess to ensure the SAVE America Act gets to his desk: “This is going to continue after we get back after the Easter break. WHY ARE WE TAKING F*CKING BREAKS? @LeaderJohnThune If the GOP doesn’t buckle down and get this on Trump’s desk, America is GONE. These people need to remember that a VAST MAJORITY of Americans who wholeheartedly support COMMON SENSE measures like this. Either get it passed, or Democrats will destroy ANY semblance of America as we knew it the moment they steal back power. It’s time for them to GROW A SPINE!

@VigilantFox Why does she think that she would be told by the White House or by Trump, of exactly what they will or will not do in Iran? Her blabbing on TV is exactly why they wouldn't trust her to keep actual battle plans confidential.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna steals the show on Bill Maher’s Real Time as she drops a White House insider’s take on the Iran war. Here’s what she revealed that Maher had no clue about: • Operations are winding down in Iran • Trump has been clear in private conversations that he doesn’t want boots on the ground. • The Iranians had what Luna described as a “Nazir plan” before the most recent strike, meaning any attack could have triggered immediate retaliation. • That retaliation, she and others believe, could have led to mass casualties for U.S. troops in the region. • She would oppose boots on the ground, even if Trump supported it. But as she said earlier, that scenario was never seriously on the table to begin with. MAHER: “Well, you seem to know some stuff we don’t.” LUNA: “Well, that’s why I’m here.” MAHER: “Did you know this shit, Paul?” PAUL BEGALA: “No, I’m glad you’re here.” If that Anna Paulina Luna moment stood out to you, there’s a lot more where that came from.

@TansuYegen Clearly AI.

@DarrigoMelanie The proof needed to register versus to vote, are two different things.

A Real ID drivers license is not an accepted ID under the SAVE Act — but is accepted to fly domestically. Only Enhanced Real ID licenses are accepted under the SAVE Act, and they’re only issued in 5 states. The SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill, and they’re lying to you about it.

@BreannaMorello Probably true. A woman's wrath is a real thing.

Woman claims she voted for President Donald Trump three times and then calls him a “pile of sh*t.” Do you believe her?

@Variety Common sense only goes so far if you don't know the basic political facts behind your jokes. Saying that Great Britain knows how to arrest pedophiles is an embarrassingly bad take for him to use, if he knew the first thing about Pakistani rape groups in the UK preying on minors.

Conan O’Brien on knowing how far to go with politics when hosting the #Oscars: “You have to use your common sense about what feels right. If you completely ignore it, you look like you’re living in a bubble.”

@micyoung75 There are debunked AI videos of Iranian speed boats supposedly setting tankers on fire, including a fake video/photo of a U.S. aircraft carrier on fire. So that part of Trump's post is accurate.

Treason. That is the word Trump used tonight for news organizations reporting confirmed Iranian strikes on U.S. aircraft. The same post confirms the strikes happened while disputing the severity. The founders defined treason in Article III with deliberate precision because they had watched the word used as a weapon against political opponents. “Levying war against the United States or adhering to its enemies.” Not: reporting damage to military aircraft that U.S. officials confirmed to reporters. The FCC is already reviewing broadcaster licenses. The president is now calling for treason charges. The Iranian disinformation campaign is real. So is this one. The republic needs to be able to say both things out loud at the same time, which is exactly what the first sentence of the First Amendment was written to protect.

@politicalmath The same cluelessness that created "Gays For Palestine".

Conan's joke about how "in England, at least we arrest our pedophiles" is interesting I guess most of Hollywood is unaware that England famously does not arrest their pedophiles

@mdubowitz Right now, the Iranians need to decide if they should allow free travel of the tankers, or decide that the U.S. is bluffing about bombing the oil infrastructure, and keep controlling tanker movement. Likely that they will decide that the U.S. is bluffing.

Kharg Island is the regime’s economic jugular: 80–90% of Iran’s oil exports flow through it, much of it to China. The U.S. Air Force just took out the regime’s military defenses. Marines reportedly heading in. Over-under before Washington controls the regime’s oil?

@Evan_Flood Some refs have a different mindset about calling a game-deciding foul in the final second, unless the player gets mugged.

You're in double bonus in a game where the officials have called fouls for breathing. That's not the shot.

@agraybee If the gunman had survived and managed to kill any of those children at the synagogue, his "look what they made me do" defense would have been championed by the media.

@WesternLensman And yet, she still didn't say who the targets of that bomb-thrower were. A partial correction.

Due to massive backlash, Abby Phillip issues on-air correction for falsely saying Mamdani was the target of the NYC bomb attack: "I incorrectly said that the bombs that were thrown by ISIS inspired suspects in New York over the weekend were directed at Mayor Mamdani. They were not." "I failed to catch and correct that mistake in real time, and I take full responsibility for that." Phillip’s initial ‘correction’ on 𝕏 was slapped with a Community Note for being misleading. CNN has been forced to issue multiple corrections on this story in the last two days, after repeatedly pushing the false narrative that Mamdani was the target of the attack.

@tracybeanz @ThomasEWoods He MIGHT still win his primary, but the days of getting 65-70% are over. Probably anywhere from 45-55%.

@ThomasEWoods They need to pull out “celebrities” like the left did with rappers just to hope to beat Massie in a district where 97% of the voters absolutely ADORE him. I hope he wins just so I can retain the small shred of hope I have for humanity. 🙏

Is Turning Point officially retarded now? Massie, who's better than they are on every issue, who was heroic during Covid, and who defended Trump through two impeachments, is a RINO? RETARDATION

@Badgers_44 @KedrickStumbris For a team with some defensive liabilities, Janicki has solid value, as long as he understands his primary role.

@KedrickStumbris PLEASE DO NOT LET JANICKI COME BACK

#Badgers head coach Greg Gard says Nolan Winter will "definitely be ready by the NCAA Tournament." Jack Janicki is "a possibility" in the NCAAT.

@Evan_Flood Any player can sprain, break, or pull a muscle or bone, at any time. If Winter is deemed ready at some point during the B10 Tourney, then the staff will let him play.

Greg Gard says Nolan Winter is doing more everyday. He's trying to be ready for the Big Ten Tournament. Will "definitely" be available for the NCAA Tournament."

@SarahisCensored I'd like it if you are right, but everything I've seen, including reported off-the-record U.S. officials, indicates an accidental U.S. bombing. Final report is forthcoming.

It has been confirmed that Iran b0mbed the elementary school. “They're very inaccurate with their munitions. It was done by Iran.” I told you.

@BulwarkOnline If the official report hasn't been created yet, then Trump's personal opinion is still a credible one. Still seems likely that it was a tragic mistake in targeting.

Q: "Did the U.S. bomb a girls' elementary school in southern Iran on the first day of the war and kill 175 people?" Trump: "No. In my opinion, based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran." Q: "Is that true, Mr. Hegseth? It was Iran that did that?" Hegseth: "We're investigating it." Trump: "We think it was done by Iran…It was done by Iran."
