Iran Deal Tomorrow, Trump Tells Fox News

According to a report on Fox News minutes ago, President Trump is predicting a diplomatic deal with Iran by Monday. He also told Fox correspondent Trey Yangst that, back in January, he sent guns to Iranian protestors through the Kurds, but he thinks the Kurds kept the guns. The guns were provided after Trump promised “help is on its way” to Iranian protestors. Now, if there is a deal tomorrow, that would be Easter present number two, following the rescue of a U.S. Colonel earlier today in Iran. However, I still have my doubts. We’ve heard about deals forthcoming before. Let’s hope that this time, the end of hostilities does happen as Trump predicts. [PICTURED: Fox correspondent in Israel, Trey Yangst]

‘WE GOT HIM!’ — Trump Hails Daring Rescue of Second Downed Airman

Details are still emerging, but just as Easter Sunday was dawning in the nation’s capital, U.S. forces totaling hundreds, along with dozens of aircraft, succeeded in rescuing the remaining airman from Friday’s downing of an F-15E in Iran. Taking to Truth Social in a lengthy post, President Trump beamed proudly, “WE GOT HIM!” and called it “one of the most daring search and rescue operations in U.S. history.” On this occasion, Trump seems not to have been exaggerating. The scale of the operation appears to have been massive, with planes dropping bombs on encroaching Iranian forces and civilian bounty hunters, as the Iranian regime sought a hostage situation that it could milk for its benefit in both propaganda and ultimate negotiations. From initial reports, the operation saw the loss of U.S. aircraft, including planes and helicopters that had to be destroyed before the operation was completed lest Iran get its hands on sensitive U.S. technological secrets. Trump, in his post, noted that the U.S. had known of the downed airman’s location since his aircraft initially went down, but the terrain and location, to say nothing of armed Iranian forces on the hunt for the survivor, evidently forced a delay for

Is Trump Guilty of Concocting ‘Fake News’ Himself?

Throughout the lengthy Iran conflict, aka war, President Trump and his colleagues have been making various claims about success and the future of the ongoing campaign. Some of these assertions are a bit hard to believe. Most recently, Trump has signaled that a) the new leader of Iran (whomever he’s referring to) is “more reasonable” than previous leaders, and b) a “decimated” Iran is desperately seeking a ceasefire and a deal. Statements by Iranian leaders, however, appear to be anything but “reasonable” and peace-seeking. Now, we can chalk all this up to propaganda mongering and typical bluster by the mullahs and rulers of that country, or we can take them at their word — and actions. For instance, Iran continues to hammer neighbors with missiles and drones, and recently shot down at least one U.S. combat aircraft. And the Strait of Hormuz continues to have an Iranian stranglehold on it, even though Trump announced that Iran was making a good-will gesture of allowing 20 vessels through on Monday last. As of today, both the U.S. and Iran are vowing to “unleash hell” after Trump’s deadline for a deal on April 6 passes. The Iranian thugs couldn’t care less about damage

When Calling the President Doesn’t Help

Tiger Woods just got a second DUI citation after he crashed his Land Rover while apparently under the influence of opioids. Be that as it may — he’ll probably get a reduced sentence since he is famous and has vowed to seek treatment — the whole scenario of his Florida crash is quite telling. First, he told officers he looked down at his phone while driving, and then “bam.” Evidently, he was seeking a lesser charge of using his cell phone while driving. Then, it gets more interesting. He took a walk to use his phone. When police beckoned him back, he told officers that he was “just talking to the president.” Second attempt to avoid a DUI — or any charge for that matter — “I’m friends with the president,” or words to that effect. It will be interesting to see what happens in court. He’ll probably get a slap on the wrist and a suspended license, at least for a day or two. Don’t “Phone home, T.W.,” but call the president. You do have friends in high places.

French First Lady Endures Jabs by Trump and Owens

Brigitte Macron suffers bad press in the U.S. at the hands of none other than our president and also by a conservative podcaster, Candace Owens, who finds herself in legal jeopardy over her accusation that Ms. Macron is transgender. Trump, however, riled Emmanuel Macron — and France’s ruling elite — when this week he said that Brigitte Macron treats her husband “extremely badly.” Emmanuel, the French president who imagines himself president of the world, responded by saying Trump’s comments didn’t deserve a response. Brigitte was recently at the White House for First Lady Melania Trump’s conference on “Fostering the Future Together.” She even sat next to Melania on the dais during the event. Even so, at one point, Melania was accused of pushing Brigitte. Not so nice, U.S. First Lady. The president’s comments were evidently directed at an infamous push in the face that Brigitte gave Emmanuel on an airplane in 2025, when the two were deboarding in Hanoi on another of Emmanuel’s “save the world” junkets. For her part, Candace Owens went so far as to run an eight-part series alleging how Brigitte transitioned from male to female. A defamation lawsuit against her is ongoing in Delaware.

Jeffrey Epstein Claims Another Victim in Pam Bondi, Who Promised to Expose His Dastardly Deeds

Poor Pam Bondi. Early in her one-year tenure as U.S. Attorney General, she told the media that she had the files on alleged pedophile Jeffrey Epstein “sitting on my desk,” hinting that they would soon be released to the public. Oh, my, and “Whoa, Nellie!” The Democrats had a field day with that one. The fiends running the party of Andrew Jackson seized on that comment and topic immediately. Soon, all anyone in the press could talk about was Jeffrey Epstein and why the Trump administration was hiding the files on his past deeds. Of course, the real target was President Trump, and the goal was to show that he partook of underage female offerings served up by Trump’s late billionaire friend Epstein. Congress finally passed a bill demanding the release of the Epstein files. Trump signed it, and millions of documents were released, but the ones with Trump in them were either highly redacted or outright withheld. Anyway, l’affaire Epstein was strike one and two against Bondi. The third fatal blow came when she failed to expedite — and ensure the success of — Trump’s revenge tour against those who had gone after him with all their legal guns

His Letter Straight Out of Orwell Shows that Iran’s President Thinks Like a Democrat

Since you don’t have to prove you’re a citizen to vote in Blue States (so long as you register as a Democrat), no doubt absentee ballots are making their way to Iran so that country’s president and his cohorts can vote in upcoming elections. Reason? The man has mastered Demospeak — an Orwellian tongue that twists every absurdity into reality, such as men having babies, etc., etc. In an open letter to the American people, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian proclaims — in true Demofiend fashion — that the American war against Iran’s terrorism is not in this country’s best interest since it does not put “America First.” He writes: “The Iranian people harbour no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighbouring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness — not a temporary political stance.” He goes on to claim that his country has never threatened another country or its citizens: “Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has
