US B-2 Stealth Bombers to Operate From
British Airbases replies
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has had a change of heart, and after first denying the U.S. use of its military airfields during Operation Epic Fury, he’s now partially greenlit the idea, and our B-2 stealth bombers are expected to land at RAF bases in Britain and the island of Cyprus in just a matter of days.
Cyprus is a British Overseas Territory administered by the U.K. and is home to RAF Akrotiri, a key forward operating base for the Brits.
The B-2s are coming:
American B-2 stealth bombers are expected to land at British military bases "in a matter of days" to join the campaign against Iran, The Telegraph has reported.
Illegal immigration, even more than men in women’s sports, is the hill that Democrats are determined to die on. They think the issue is a winner for them. In my own state, Minnesota, public officials openly encouraged citizens to interfere with federal law enforcement–such is the Democrats’ commitment to keeping illegal aliens in the U.S.
But polling indicates that most Americans are on the Republican side of the issue. Most recently, check out this Harvard/Harris poll. It is full of interesting findings, which are generally good for the GOP. But I want to focus solely on the illegal immigration issue.
Will we get tired of the winning before we get tired of the fighting? That political question hangs over all the successes of Operation Epic Fury, even after just four days of hostilities. The news on that question may be better than some believe.
We'll get to that in a moment. First, though, let's review all of the winning. The joint US-Israel war on Iran continues to expand without any effective defense from the regime's forces. The IRGC continues to launch ballistic missiles at Israel and every US partner in the region, barrages that have done mild damage to structures and taken the lives of six American soldiers
When a country spends two decades lying through its teeth in negotiations, that nation should not feel shocked when no one will help pull its chestnuts out of the fire. The chestnuts its leadership still has, that is.
Since the beginning of joint US-Israeli war operations, the remnants of Iran's regime have remained publicly defiant. They have declared that the IRGC and other military forces have inflicted massive damage on Americans and Israelis. The USS Abraham Lincoln is thisclose to being sunk!
Privately, however, the regime knows it's cooked if they can't get an end to the intensifying barrages of Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion.
The beleaguered Iranian regime, with very few international allies, has been counting on Moscow's support amid the ongoing US-Israeli strikes, but so far it has been left deeply disappointed. Just hours after Israeli and US bombs started hitting Tehran on Saturday, Russia came out with a blunt statement, with the country's permanent representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, calling it an "unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state."
Moscow is one of Tehran's few but staunchest allies, and a possible collapse of the Iranian regime could be a blow for its geopolitical and economic interests. Then why has it not come to Tehran's rescue?
California Governor Gavin Newsom is doubling down on his support for a California law barring teachers from informing parents of their child’s gender transition after the Supreme Court blocked the law in a temporary order this week.
The law, signed by Newsom in 2024, allowed teachers to withhold information from parents if their student experiences gender dysphoria. The law further requires that teachers use a student’s preferred pronouns.
“Teachers should be focused on teaching — not forced to be gender cops,”
Setting the stage for a new fight with the White House, New York’s top cop promised “further action” if a hospital system doesn’t resume chemical castration of minors.
Last month, in compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive order that cut off funding for institutions that continued medically maiming children in the name of alphabet activism, NYU Langone Health halted its Transgender Youth Health Program. Now, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) has given the hospital system until March 11 to restart it, demonstrating “how desperate Democrats are to mutilate your kids.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, raced to the cameras after leaving a classified Trump administration security briefing.
After Democrats repeatedly complained that President Donald Trump’s administration leaves them out of the loop on security matters, Warren was in a hurry to prove that maybe there is a good reason. Fresh out of a classified security briefing, her first instinct was to turn on a camera and broadcast her thoughts to the entirety of the internet.

“I just left a classified briefing on Iran and here’s what I can say: It’s so much worse than you thought. You are right ot be worried. Trump administration has no plan in Iran.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - A Santa Clara County jury on Wednesday returned mostly guilty verdicts in the case of "Party Mom" Shannon O'Connor, a Los Gatos woman accused of hosting parties for teens that included alcohol and sexual conduct.
Mostly guilty verdicts
What they're saying:
There were five not guilty results.
But the jury found that O'Connor was guilty on the majority of more than 60 charges against her, including child endangerment and the sexual penetration of an intoxicated child -- the most serious of the charges. There were more than a dozen victims.
An effort by Senate Democrats to put their prerogatives ahead of Middle East peace was defeated Wednesday night.
The war powers resolution failed 47-53, according to the Associated Press.
Although the vote was largely along party lines, Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted in favor of the resolution to tie President Donald Trump’s hands, while Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted to let Trump wage war as he sees fit. “Democrats would rather obstruct Donald Trump than obliterate Iran’s national nuclear program,” Republican Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming said.
Lou Holtz, the legendary college football coach who led Notre Dame to their last national championship, has died.
He was 89 years old.
Holtz entered hospice care earlier this year but remained in high spirits as he entered the final phase of his life. A life that certainly left its mark on the world of college football, as Holtz first gained national prominence guiding the Arkansas Razorbacks to an 11-1 record and a thrilling bowl victory over Oklahoma.
While Holtz would have his greatest moment by winning a national championship at Notre Dame in 1988, he would amass a record of dominance in his 40 years as a head coach.

Federal prosecutors in U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office are dropping a criminal probe into whether former President Joe Biden and his aides unlawfully used an autopen to issue pardons, a person briefed on the matter told CBS News.
Two sources confirmed the existence of the probe, with one telling CBS News that the matter has since been closed because prosecutors were never able to find a legal hook to be able to pursue the matter further. CBS News has not determined precisely when the case ended.
Last June, President Trump ordered an investigation into whether the Biden administration used an autopen machine to sign key presidential documents like pardons

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told Angel Families who were present in the audience that he was “sorry,” but that Americans are more likely to be murdered by fellow Americans than illegal aliens. “For the folks that are here and your families, I’m sorry. It’s terrible what happened to your children and family members, but they are more likely, American citizens are more likely to be attacked by United States citizens who are not undocumented who came here and who were born here,” Cohen told Angel Families. “[Americans] are more likely to commit these crimes.”
Videos of Iranians dancing to a song “Khamenei Is Dead,” featuring President Donald Trump, are going viral on social media.
A DJ took a clip from President Trump’s speech announcing, “Iran’s former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, is dead,” and blended it into an extended club remix designed for the dancefloor.

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that federal appeals courts must defer to immigration judges’ determinations on whether asylum-seekers face harm in their home countries severe enough to qualify for U.S. protection, marking a victory for the Trump administration’s immigration agenda.
The decision is expected to streamline the asylum process and block common tactics used by applicants and their attorneys to delay removal from the country. [Tweet]
The case, Urias-Orellana et al. v. Bondi, centered on a family that entered the country from El Salvador in 2021 and pursued asylum. They claimed they were being persecuted based on credible testimony
Takeshi Ebisawa, a Japanese national, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiracy to traffic nuclear materials, including uranium and weapons-grade plutonium, from Burma to other countries, as well as international narcotics trafficking, weapons, and money laundering crimes.
Ebisawa previously pleaded guilty to six counts for those offenses before U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon for the Southern District of New York.
Court records say that from about 2019 until Ebisawa's arrest on or about April 4, 2022, the DEA investigated Ebisawa in connection with the large-scale trafficking of narcotics, weapons, and nuclear materials.
“National security and public safety are the very tenets of DEA’s mission,
Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of former president John F. Kennedy who is running in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District, received no "earned income" in 2025 but holds millions of dollars worth of assets in four trust funds, a Washington Free Beacon review of his financial disclosures found.
The total value of Schlossberg’s disclosed assets ranges from $10.5 million to $31.9 million, according to the disclosures, which cover the period between January 2025 and February 2026. His assets include lucrative investment portfolios parked in four trust funds worth between $4.1 million and $11.7 million, the 25-page document shows.
It’s hard for taxpayers to stomach!
The Baltimore mayor’s office spent more than $890,000 on lavish meals and parties — including crab feasts, catered “farewell” bashes and massive tabs at Ravens football games, according to a report Wednesday.
Mayor Brandon Scott’s administration blew taxpayer cash on over-the-top perks for staffers — including $52,589 on grub in the Mayoral Suite at Ravens and Orioles games — in a gross violation of the city’s “public funds” rules, according to baltimorebrew.com. One of the elaborate meals was served at a $3,636 farewell “office party” for Scott’s former campaign manager Marvin James, which featured a $324 balloon arch, a $217 cake and a $2,600 catered spread
Kurdish forces from Iraq, armed by the United States and Israeli militaries, have reportedly launched a ground incursion into Iran, with thousands of fighters crossing the border and establishing combat positions inside the country. [Tweets]
The Kurds are an Iranian ethnic group native to the mountainous region known as Kurdistan, which spans southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq, northwestern Iran, and northeastern Syria. In the face of a destabilized Tehran, Kurdish forces may seek to seize the opportunity to challenge, and potentially assist in toppling, a regime long viewed as hostile to their people.
A number of U.S. representatives like to be driven in style, billing taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars for limo service from their office accounts, an investigation by The Center Square found.
Six U.S. representatives charged taxpayers nearly $30,000 to hire chauffeured limousines in the latest twelve months for which figures are available. Since January 2019, U.S. representatives spent more than $160,000 out of their office accounts with companies that had the word limo or limousine in their name, according to figures come from the U.S. House’s quarterly disbursement reports.
U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, spent the most on limo services, according to the data.

TMZ posted a Sunday interview on their site featuring an alleged military spouse named Kendall Brown just one day after Operation Epic Fury was launched. As expected, the interview has gone viral for a number of reasons. In it, Brown claims that she, her service member husband, and many military families are distraught and unhappy over having to fight a war with Iran. Brown complained that the Operation Epic Fury campaign is a "distraction" to hide the Trump administration's failures.
TMZ writes:
Kendall talks in-depth about how her husband is deeply unhappy with the situation,
We’re all aware of a sickness in our public life right now. To be honest, I'd call it much more of a spiritual attack from darkness. But at the very least, it's a widespread cultural delusion of gender ideology. The symptoms are not coming from the parents who are asking hard questions. It is coming from the people who cannot tolerate those questions.
This week, video surfaced of Madeline Mann, a UCSF administrator, threatening to kill a woman for speaking out against gender transition surgeries on minors. The target was Beth Bourne, a mother who has been critical of medical interventions pushed on children struggling with gender dysphoria.
A major talking point among Democrats and their media handmaidens is that President Trump launched a “war of choice” against Iran.
Given American casualties and the earth-rattling impact, the criticism could be a powerful political argument in the midterm elections — if it’s true.
But it’s not true.
In fact, we now can be certain that the war on Iran is not a war of choice.
It is instead a war of American self-defense and maybe even a war of survival for Western civilization and Israel.
