The US strike on Iranian nuclear sites — dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer” — was the biggest ever attack by B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, and the longest flight the aircraft have made since 2001.

It also marked the first time that the US used the massive, 15-ton GBU-57 bunker buster bombs in combat, dropping 14 of them on Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites.

The highly coordinated strike took Tehran by utter surprise Saturday night, with the terrorist state not launching any attacks at incoming American military personnel, according to Chief of the Joint Staff Gen. Dan Caine.

Just WOW…

Pete Hegseth: "Iran is calculating the reality that planes flew from the middle of America in MISSOURI over night, completely undetected, over 3 of their most highly sensitive sites. And we were able to destroy nuclear capabilities, and our boys in those bombers… pic.twitter.com/cAB5WfjYOn

You would think that an ABC News program like The View would have some sort of journalistic standard they needed to meet, but that clearly wasn’t the case during Wednesday’s episode. In their opening segment flinging crud at Elon Musk, co-host Sunny Hostin claimed he had killed nearly 300,000 children and co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar hinted that he knew how President Trump stole the 2024 presidential election.

Zir has an interesting theory, which it is zir theory, which is a good theory, and this is how it goes, which is that 4-year-old girls who play with trucks don’t ask to go to “gender” “services”, but also that they are definitely not pushed by crazy parents and teachers, but they go anyway, which is good because brontosauruses are thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end, and really masculine guys who decide late in life that they are actually women aren’t dodgy or anything.

How does this thing work? Sigh. Click here.

A 21-year-old man has been charged with arson with intent to endanger life over attacks at properties linked to Sir Keir Starmer.

Roman Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian national of Sydenham, southeast London, is alleged to have started fires outside two properties and torched a vehicle in north London.

He has been charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life and is due to appear at Westminster magistrates’ court on Friday.

OTTAWA — Alberta Premier Smith vowed on Thursday to move forward with a legal challenge to Ottawa’s incoming clean electricity regulations, rekindling a fight with the just re-elected Liberal government over its decarbonization agenda.

“Today we are taking another step to protect Albertans livelihoods by challenging the constitutionality of (these) regulations in the Court of Appeal of Alberta, and we look forward to making our case,” Smith told reporters in Edmonton.

The Metropolitan Police has been accused of “misleading” a minister over violent placards at a trans rights protest.

Officers from the London force told Dame Diana Johnson, the policing minister, that no threatening signs were on display at Saturday’s demonstration in Parliament Square. This led her to insist in interviews that there was no evidence the law had been broken.

In fact, several were visible, including two with hangmen and slogans such as “the only good terf is a —- one”, implying gender-critical feminists should die.

No different than in Toronto where police have surrendered to the mob.

Donald Trump’s tariff policies remain a lightning rod for debate. Democrats are sounding the alarm, warning of dire economic fallout and painting a picture of looming catastrophe.

Batya Ungar-Sargon, deputy opinion editor of Newsweek, made one of the strongest, most effective cases yet for former President Donald Trump’s tariffs during the latest episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher.” She broke down exactly why these tariffs are necessary, and by the end, she left Bill Maher flustered.

Batya Ungar-Sargon stuns Bill Maher into submission when talking about Trump’s rationale on tariffs:
BUS: “The 70’s the largest share of our GDP was in the middle class. Now the top 20% controls over 50% of the GDP.

Same “Canadian Super Patriots” hating Trumps tariffs shipped your jobs offshore then flooded Canada with cheap foreign labour to ensure you remained impoverished and grateful for the pittance they pay for the rest.

Two European politicians, dressed symbolically in red and white, sent a message last week to Canada on social media declaring “we’ve got your back”.

Also signalling support was King Charles, who planted a red maple tree on the grounds of Buckingham Palace and wore his Canadian medals during a high-profile visit to a naval warship.

Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived in Paris before heading to London on Monday – a day after his 60th birthday – for his first foreign visit hoping to achieve more than symbolic encouragement. He wants solid support from allies.

This article makes you think the BBC is a Katie Telford Shitstrainer.

Hundreds of thousands of people descended on Serbia’s capital on Saturday to protest over the deaths of 15 people in a railway station collapse.

While the government put attendance at 107,000 across Belgrade, an independent monitor said 325,000 – if not more – had gathered, making it Serbia’s largest protest ever.

The Novi Sad collapse last November has galvanised anger towards the government and President Aleksandar Vucic. Demonstrators blame corruption and corner-cutting for the loss of life.

PANIC IN BELGRADE

Chaos erupted as stun grenades were launched into the protest crowd just before the rally ended. Local media report that unknown individuals were behind the incident.

Rachel Maddow’s rant at her MSNBC bosses about firing Joy Reid and other non-white hosts has backfired… with her fellow liberals now calling on her to resign in solidarity.

The $25 million a year host took her bosses to task live on air this week saying it was ‘disturbing’ that ‘nonwhite hosts in primetime were losing their shows.’

But Bluesky users were quick to call on the greedy Maddow to put her money where her mouth is and resign, or risk looking like a hypocrite spouting hot air.

Liberal prime-minister-in-waiting Mark Carney keeps insisting he’s not a politician, but he’s selling himself short.

Like any good Liberal politician, his position on carbon taxes is a hot mess of contradictions and on other issues he’s saying one thing to Quebec in French and another to the rest of Canada in English.
