Once again, Trump is claiming former presidents have been cheering on his Iran war privately despite the fact that all four living ex-presidents have denied speaking to him. They need to call a press conference to highlight Trump’s mental breakdown.

Market manipulation. The timing of Trump threats (usually Friday nights) then backing down (usually early Monday mornings) on war and tariffs tell you all you need to know.

The Iranian ship was there because India invited it to the Milan naval exercise, and under the rules it was not carrying ammunition. The U.S. withdrew from the exercise and torpedoed the Iranian vessel, then refused to rescue survivors, leaving the Sri Lankan Navy to recover bodies from the water.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.
Shown is a blank sample administrative warrant. The only place for signatures is for an immigration officer. No judge has to sign off on it.
