The Worst News Network on the Planet Has Covered Itself in Shame This Week

For the past couple of days, I’ve been watching CNN (so you don’t have to) and — dear merciful God! — there are no words to describe how awful it is. On the other hand, the attempt to describe it gave me an excuse to beat that dead dog again with a 1,300-word opus: Among […]

How Trump Ruined the Media’s Weekend

Oh, sure, it was a bad Saturday for the Ayatollah, but try to imagine what it was like for the news media. Suppose you’re the lead national security reporter for the Washington Post or the New York Times. It’s a Saturday in June, so maybe you’re out at the beach for the weekend, having a […]

One Standard Deviation: How Israel Targeted Iran’s Top Air Force Leaders

Say hello to Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh and, while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye because, as Clemenza said of Paulie, you won’t see him no more: The commander of the IRGC [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] air force, Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Iran overnight, […]

‘An Earth-Shattering Kaboom’: Israel Wipes Out Top Iranian Military Leaders UPDATE: ‘Decapitation Strike’ — List

Wednesday I spoke to a colleague who said to me in a very matter-of-fact way that Iran was going to get hit soon. He isn’t some kind of security-clearance type, but he does have a few “sources close to the Trump administration,” as an Objective Journalist would say, and I don’t know how he knew […]

Peace through superior firepower: Israel on Friday launched a wave of retaliatory airstrikes against Iran after the Islamic Republic fired a barrage of missiles toward Israelis earlier this month. Explosions were heard near Iran’s capital of Tehran and nearby Karaj, Reuters reported, citing local media. “In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime […]

A Message From the Mossad

This is some next-level 007-type stuff: The day after thousands of Hezbollah terror suspects were injured, and reportedly a dozen people killed, by their pagers almost simultaneously exploding, Lebanese and Iranian media reported a second wave of radio device detonations. The second wave appears to involve two-way radio devices, such as walkie-talkies. At least one […]

‘Sundown Joe’ and World War III

Everybody got a laugh Friday when, after an airport photo-op with hostages recently returned from Russia, Joe Biden wandered away and climbed the steps of the empty plane. Media “fact-checkers” instantly went into spin mode, claiming that what we saw with our own two eyes — an old man exhibiting dementia symptoms — didn’t really […]

What Part of Genesis 12:3 Do I Need to Explain to These Crazy Jew-Haters?

While I don’t have any advanced credentials in theology, I would say “don’t f**k with the Jews” is a fair colloquial translation. Yesterday, my brother was skeptical of the Iranian claim that it was an Israeli missile attack that took out Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and it turns out that Kirby’s skepticism was justified, because […]
