Israeli officials have reported that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead after the US and Israel’s strikes on Iranian targets. Israeli officials are now reporting that Khamenei was killed, and that his body was found. Why it matters: The 86-year-old Khamenei led Iran for 35 years, making him one of the world’s longest-serving authoritarian rulers. His death is a massive blow to the regime and could accelerate its collapse, which U.S. and Israeli officials have stated as their explicit goal. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/02/developing-netanyahu-says-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-is-gone/ Update: The Supreme Leader’s compound was leveled. “Three sites where gatherings of Iranian terror regime officials were taking place were struck simultaneously, and several senior figures essential to the management of the campaign and the regime’s governance were eliminated.” Trump told the Iranian people to take over their government after the military operation concludes. “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will probably be your only chance for generations. For many years, you have asked for America’s help—but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight,” Trump said. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/02/several-senior-figures-iranian-regime-have-been-eliminated/ The “domestic outmigration” that occurred from April 2020 through July 2025 resulted in about 182,000 residents fleeing the state, the Institute said February 12. “The Massachusetts Labor Force: Now and Beyond, authored by Aidan Enright, examines how domestic outmigration, an aging population, declining birth rates, and shifting federal immigration policy are converging to create serious economic headwinds for the state.” Indeed, outmigration from Massachusetts was putting the state in danger of losing billions of dollars in annual revenue as people were packing up and moving to states such as Florida, Breitbart News reported in May 2024. The following year, the Institute said residents were finding other places to live while migrants, many of them illegal aliens, were flooding into the state, per Breitbart News. Meanwhile, the Massachusetts state auditor is targeting legislative leaders for almost $12 million in alleged fraud regarding public assistance programs. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2026/02/28/trump-major-combat-operations-underway-against-iran/ The Democrat-majority Virginia state Senate voted to up their salary significantly even as Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) has claimed she is working to make her state more affordable. State senators may see their salary nearly triple if a provision in their final budget makes it to the governor’s desk, Fox News reported on Friday: Virginia’s legislature itself was founded as a part-time, gentleman’s chamber, where lawmakers would return to their day jobs when Richmond wasn’t holding session. Updated salaries for the senators would be $50,000, the outlet said. In a social media post on Friday, the Virginia GOP blasted Democrats for the move, telling voters, “Virginia Democrats are cashing in… with YOUR tax dollars! They promised affordability and instead voted to give themselves a 3x raise.” Meanwhile, Spanberger and her fellow Democrats have been working to inject leftism into their policies. The report noted, “She also endorsed multiple tax hikes on Virginians in the beginning of her tenure... ...and one Democrat introduced a bill to bar the state from verifying eligibility to receive federal taxpayer benefits, per Breitbart News.
