Because all we hear from all these people is nonstop complaining about how terrible the war in Iran is. But, is it really that bad?

No war is good, but as far as wars go, Chicago is much worse, and it never ends. Yet the media ignores that war. It’s a total blackout.

Since the Iran conflict began, 13 US soldiers have lost their lives, and about 380 have been wounded. And of the 13 killed, 6 died in a plane accident unrelated to battle.

Wanna guess how many Americans have been murdered and shot in Chicago since January 1st?

There have been over 135 homicides in Chicago in just about the same time as we’ve lost 13 soldiers in a major war.  There were 7,247 total “violent victimizations” in Chicago in that period. That’s the figure provided by the city of Chicago. 

But we have war zones in 100% Democrat-run cities all over the USA.

Since January 1st we’ve had 76 murders in NYC, 33 in Baltimore, 16 in Detroit, 14 in San Francisco, 20 in New Orleans, 31 in Memphis, 30 in St. Louis, and the list goes on and on.

Do you ever hear this in the mainstream media? Of course not. And those wars never end. Those totals I just reported are just for the first four months of this year.

SAVE THIS PREDICTION. One by one, all the Democrat-run big cities in the USA will go bankrupt over the next few years- under the weight of crime wave, illegal alien overload, woke-ism, communism, radical Islam, taxes, spending & debt. They will be filled with Muslim “no-go zones.” And the richest residents & business owners will leave in droves! All these cities are walking-dead, they just don’t know it yet! All will look like Hiroshima after atom bomb. But Hiroshima recovered. These cities will collapse & never recover. Wanna bet?

So, the moral to the story is…the mainstream media lies. It’s fake news. We’d all like the Iran war to end. But we have even more serious wars going on in Democrat run cities across the USA. If only the media would report the truth.

The hammer is finally coming down on those who think they can skip out on their legal and moral obligations to their own children while enjoying the luxury of international travel.

The U.S. State Department announced Friday that it has officially begun the process of revoking the passports of thousands of Americans who owe significant amounts of unpaid child support.

Starting this week, the Department will begin revoking the passports of thousands of Americans who owe substantial unpaid child support, with an initial focus on those racking up $100,000 or more in arrears.

The National Institutes of Health is allegedly scrambling to bury the recent explosive scandals at its high-security Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, and a new whistleblower letter obtained by the White Coat Waste Project claims senior NIH officials in Bethesda are in “full coverup mode” to protect one of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s top virologists.

The allegations come just days after it was reported that the FBI has launched a criminal investigation into NIH scientist Vincent Munster for smuggling deadly human pathogen samples, including monkeypox virus, from Africa in his luggage without required permits or paperwork.

According to the whistleblower letter sent to taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste, Munster, a German-born researcher long funded by Fauci’s NIAID, attempted to smuggle “dozens of vials” of viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) samples back into the United States from Africa in January.

He and two colleagues traveling with him allegedly lied to customs officials about the contents of their baggage.

The whistleblower states the decisions to downplay the smuggling came directly “from the main NIH campus in Bethesda” and that senior officials are now operating in “full coverup mode.”

The same letter alleges that a separate lab accident at RML, first exposed by White Coat Waste in January, involved a staffer being bitten by a macaque monkey infected with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a deadly foreign virus.

The monkey was being subjected to NIH’s notorious “maximum-pain” experiments with no pain mitigation whatsoever.

The bite reportedly penetrated the worker’s protective suit.  ...the exposed staffer was quietly “flown out” to avoid drawing attention.

Both men were placed on administrative leave and scrubbed from the HHS directory.

Munster was also a co-author on the 2018 DEFUSE proposal, the rejected blueprint for engineering coronaviruses that eerily mirrored the COVID-19 virus...

Anthony Bellotti, the president and founder of WCW said: "...these Fauci-era animal labs are out of control and must be stopped."

While military sources still insist that the ceasefire between the US and Iran is still ongoing, worrying reports have arisen of a new exchange of fire between the two countries.

According to the official CENTCOM X post, the US forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.

Iranian forces reportedly fired missiles and drones at the USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason as the ships transited the strait.

No US assets were reportedly struck.

The US military eliminated the inbound threats, and fired at the Iranian military facilities responsible for the attack.

As fighting reignites in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz stays largely blocked, California drivers are staring down a brutal reality at the pump. Some in Los Angeles are already paying eight dollars a gallon, with prices poised to climb higher. The last tanker carrying Persian Gulf crude has docked at Long Beach, and no more are coming. This is not merely a temporary spike—it is the predictable consequence of decades of policy choices that left the Golden State dangerously isolated from reliable domestic energy sources.

While the rest of the nation grapples with a national average around $4.45, California’s unique vulnerabilities turn inconvenience into crisis. The state imports roughly 30 percent of its foreign crude from the Persian Gulf under normal conditions.

Decades of environmental mandates, refinery closures, and deliberate avoidance of pipelines have transformed California into an “energy island,” reliant on long-haul imports refined in Asia from Middle Eastern sources. When geopolitics disrupts that flow, there is no quick domestic alternative.

This crisis should prompt serious reflection on energy realism. America possesses abundant domestic resources, yet blue-state governance has prioritized ideology over resilience.

Democrats on the Los Angeles City Council are hoping to potentially open the door to foreigners, including illegal aliens, voting in city elections.

The proposal, put forward by Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez (D), would ask voters on the November election ballot whether the Los Angeles City charter should be amended so that the council could discuss the plan to allow foreign nationals to vote in city elections.

In New York City, Democrats on the city council similarly sought to open city elections to foreign nationals, including illegal aliens.

Last year, the State of New York Court of Appeals ruled that the plan is unconstitutional because the New York state constitution “makes clear what our case law has long held: Article II, section 1 restricts voting to citizens.”

US forces destroyed six Iranian boats and shot down missiles and drones fired at US Navy and commercial vessels by Tehran’s military, a top US admiral said.  US Apache and Seahawk helicopters hit “six Iranian small boats threatening commercial shipping,” Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of US Central Command, told journalists.

The United Arab Emirates said it was targeted by Iranian strikes, including one on its vital Fujairah energy hub that wounded three Indians.  “These attacks represent a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable transgression,” the UAE’s foreign ministry said, adding that the country reserves the “right to respond”.

Two people were injured in Oman, on its coast along the Strait of Hormuz, when a residential building was targeted, state media reported.

An Israeli military official said the army remained on high alert and was monitoring the situation after the US admiral announced the destroyed Iranian boats and shot-down missiles.

Hezbollah said its forces clashed with Israeli soldiers in south Lebanon near the border where the troops are still operating, despite a ceasefire since April 17.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that the Western NATO military alliance is in jeopardy of “disintegration” in the wake of the announced U.S. troop drawdown in Germany.

On Friday, the Pentagon said that around 5,000 soldiers would be relocated from bases in Germany over the next year amid a broader shift in the forward deployment of U.S. forces. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the drawdown in Germany would likely be much larger, though he did not specify how many more of the approximately 36,000 U.S. troops would be relocated from the country.

President Trump has also suggested moving American forces out of countries such as Italy and Spain, all of whom he has accused of disloyalty over their response to the conflict against the Islamist regime in Iran.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also previously served as President Trump’s lawyer, has been hospitalized in critical condition.
