Sarah Makin at CPAC USA 2026: "Russia has bombed, shelled, and looted 650 Christian churches. They have murdered, a conservative estimate is 49 pastors, priests, evangelical leaders, and other faith leaders in Russian-occupied Ukraine." Russia is exporting religious persecution to Ukraine.

Russia reportedly sending Iran drones for use against the US and Israel @JohnH105 and @dmitriyshapiro in FDD's @LongWarJournal: fdd.org/analysis/2026/…

Meanwhile, Ukraine has sent hundreds of counter-drone experts to the Middle East to help, despite fighting a full-scale war. Frankly, I don't think Ukraine is getting enough credit from the U.S.

There should be no question which side Russia is on as American troops are threatened by the thousands of drones launched by Iran at American assets in the Middle East, including in Kuwait, where U.S. troops were killed.

Revelations that Russia was sending upgraded Iranian drones back to Iran to use against the U.S. and its allies are not surprising. Despite acting like it wants stability in the Middle East, Moscow hopes to prolong the war to bleed the U.S. of resources. @FDD's @JohnH105 and I write in @LongWarJournal longwarjournal.org/archives/2026/…

Put down the phone. You're drunk.

Roughly 200 Ukrainian air-defense personnel are now on the ground in the Middle East helping the U.S. and regional partners defend against Iranian drone attacks, according to Ukrainian military officials. - WSJ

No European leader has shown more courage—or done more to help defend American interests against Tehran—than Zelenskyy. This administration should remember that.

Last night the Trump administration issued OFAC General License U, authorizing the sale of what Treasury Secretary Bessent estimates is 140 million barrels of sanctioned Iranian crude currently at sea. The goal is to relieve a global oil market reeling from the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. I published an analysis walking through what GL U actually does — and what it doesn't.

Breaking: The IDF confirms it has struck the Iranian naval fleet in the Caspian Sea. The fleet had been used during the war in Ukraine to transfer equipment from Iran to Russia.

they're calling it the Worst First Date Option In DC History

Despite Putin’s response to U.S.-Israeli operations in Iran being muted for now, there’s no question which side Russia is on. They’ve been protecting Iran in the international arena for years. My latest @FDD

"lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel" His wife was killed in an ISIS bombing in Syria. The guy running counterterrorism thought the real villains in the battle with ISIS were the Jews.

Good riddance. Iran has murdered more than a thousand Americans. Their EFP land mines were the deadliest in Iraq. Anti-Semitism is an evil I detest, and we surely don’t want it in our government.

UPDATE from a Lebanese Christian. You don’t need to remain ignorant on the ears that have ravaged the Church in Lebanon. What is the source of these wars?

The Detroit-area shooting this morning wasn't just at a "synagogue." It was also at a daycare, a preschool, and a kindergarten. So 5-year-olds, toddlers, infants. That was THEIR playground at the spot of the shooting. Yet Tucker Carlson will continue inciting his followers, intentionally lying that Israel — because of Chabad — is planning to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque to rebuild the Third Temple. Candace Owens will still prattle on about Jews being "filthy" or the "Synagogue of Satan," or that "Israel" will unleash an army of "Satanic p*dophiles." And Megyn Kelly, well, she'll wag her finger and get indignant... at what "people are doing to Candace" and Tucker. For good measure, she'll probably find a way to blame Israel. Not speculation, mind you, because she has blamed Israel for the surge in anti-Semitism after October 7, 2023. This is a scourge. And these ghouls will get more innocent people killed. Worst part is that they know it. They just don't care. As long as they get their clicks and keep they're clout, it will be full steam ahead. Please pray for the safety of Jews across America — and all around the world. We need it. My small children need it. Thank you.

Thinking about my West Bloomfield friends.

The internet: IM NOT FCKING DYING FOR ISRAEL! Our soldiers don’t want to fight Israel’s wars! IDF soldier to American pilot: it is a great honor for us to fight with you. American pilot: likewise! Please be safe out there. Strike hard.
