Saunders: No half-measures—Israel hits Iran hard in Operation Rising Lion

After decades of serving as a standing target for terrorist attacks masterminded by Iran, the Israeli military was not messing around.

In five waves of attacks launched Friday, Israeli planes hammered Iranian nuclear sites, military facilities, and the country’s top military leadership, in a day of fury that almost certainly opened a new era of war in the Middle East.

After Boulder firebombing, DHS revamps ICE tip line to stop future attacks

After a horrific anti-Semitic attack last weekend, the Department of Homeland Security is “revamping” the way Americans can help prevent any future atrocities from happening again.

On June 1, a peaceful pro-Israeli gathering calling for the continued release of hostages held by Hamas terrorists was violently attacked.

A maniac wielding incendiary devices — the weapons have been described as both “flamethrower” and Molotov cocktail-like — attacked the group in Boulder, Colorado, injuring 12, two badly, in the process.

Reports began circulating that the alleged perpetrator, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was an Egyptian national who had overstayed his visa, making this a matter of national security, on top of it being a seeming hate crime.

Due to that factor, DHS is now turning to everyday American citizens that can help prevent future similar attacks.

If you were to consume your news exclusively from the establishment (my sincerest condolences if that’s the case), you would think the bill was some sort of hypothetical bogeyman, a looming Sword of Damocles over the U.S. economy.
