This is what happens when Democrats don’t push back

After New York City voters opted to back an openly socialist candidate in the latest Democratic mayoral primary race, rumors have begun circulating that other far-left politicians might also be able to win high-level races nationwide — including the presidency. For his part, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he has “an idea” for the party, sarcastically writing: I have an idea for the Democrats to bring them back into “play.” After years of being left out in the cold, including suffering one of the Greatest Losses in History, the 2024 Presidential Election, the Democrats should nominate Low IQ Candidate, Jasmine Crockett, for President, and AOC+3 should be, respectively, Vice President, and three High Level Members of the Cabinet – Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED! Mamdani’s extremist positions on a variety of issues has become fodder for online critics in recent days: JUST IN: Rep. Andy Ogles just formally asked Attorney General Bondi to REVOKE Zohran Mamdani’s citizenship and DEPORT him back to Uganda Mamdani was openly supporting TERR0R ORGANIZATIONS prior to becoming a citizen, making him INELIGIBLE.

Paired with a series of insults, Trump wrote that Mamdani has the backing of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and The Squad, and said that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) “is groveling over him.” Here’s some additional coverage of Mamdani’s controversial win:

The CIA has pushed back against claims by The New York Times and CNN that the airstrikes by U.S. B-2 Bombers had minimal impact on the Nuclear facilities in Iran. The director of the CIA in a statement shared that they have new evidence that suggests that the airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites are “severely damaged.” While the mainstream media has claimed that he airstrikes only delayed Iran’s nuclear program by months, CIA Director John Ratcliffe revealed it will take Iran years to get back to the point they were in before the airstrikes. CNN had the full report: CIA Director John Ratcliffe on Wednesday said in a statement that the agency had obtained “a body of credible evidence [that] indicates Iran’s Nuclear Program has been severely damaged” by recent strikes, underscoring a broad intelligence community effort is ongoing to determine the impact of the US strikes on three of the country’s nuclear sites on Saturday. Without providing details, Ratcliffe said the CIA’s evidence included “new intelligence from a historically reliable source/method that several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years.” It was not clear whether Ratcliffe was offering an official agency assessment or his view of the intelligence. The statement came a day after an initial analysis by the Defense Intelligence Agency that suggested that strikes by the US on Saturday did not destroy some key components of Iran’s nuclear program and likely only set back Tehran’s nuclear ambitions by a matter of months was reported by CNN and other outlets. The White House has pushed back on that assessment, which cast doubt on President Donald Trump’s claims that the strikes “obliterated” Iran’s ability to produce a weapon, calling it “wrong.” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard also posted on X on Wednesday that “new intelligence” supported the notion that Iran’s nuclear facilities were “destroyed” in the strikes. “New intelligence confirms what @POTUS has stated numerous times: Iran’s nuclear facilities have been destroyed,” Gabbard posted without providing evidence. “If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Esfahan) entirely, which would likely take years to do.” Watch Fox News’ report here: BREAKING: CIA Director John Ratcliffe NUKES Fake News CNN’s illegally obtained “top secret” report detailing the damage on Iran’s nuclear facilities by confirming new “credible intelligence” that indicates Iran’s nuclear program has been “severely damaged” and will have to be… pic.twitter.com/Ra6Pcc0UOR — RedWave Press (@RedWave_Press) June 25, 2025 My statement confirming CIA intelligence which contradicts illegally sourced public reporting regarding the destruction of key Iranian nuclear facilities. pic.twitter.com/Ln3b4hfELc — CIA Director John Ratcliffe (@CIADirector) June 25, 2025 President Trump has been very clear over the last couple of days on the status of Iran’s nuclear sites. While attending a meeting with NATO members, Trump consistently stated that Iran’s nuclear sites were obliterated. Per NPR: President Trump used a press conference at the NATO summit Wednesday to expand on his insistence that U.S. strikes heavily damaged Iran’s nuclear operation, despite a preliminary U.S. intelligence report that said it was a more limited impact. “It was very, very successful,” he told reporters at the NATO summit in The Hague. “It was called ‘obliteration.’ No other military on Earth could have done it.” The press conference came as the world watches to see whether a ceasefire between Israel and Iran will endure. Citing that ceasefire, Trump compared his bombings to the nuclear bombs that helped end World War II. “It was so bad that they ended the war. It ended the war,” he said. “Somebody said, in a certain way, that it was so devastating, actually, if you look at Hiroshima, if you look at Nagasaki, you know, that ended a war, too. This ended a war in a different way, but it was so devastating.” Trump traveled to the summit the morning after announcing that ceasefire, which came days after the United States joined Israel’s attacks on key Iranian nuclear facilities. The early classified U.S. intelligence assessment said the strikes set Tehran’s nuclear program back “a few months.” NATO Summit 2025: Donald Trump says Iran Nuclear program ‘gone for years’#natosummit2025 pic.twitter.com/fQdN0pexqY — WION (@WIONews) June 25, 2025

Leftist critics have been piling on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for month, doling out wild accusations including wide-ranging claims of misogyny. As the media continued looking for new ways to disparage the Trump administration, one reporter seized on Hegseth’s remarks about the recent military operation in Iran. According to the Daily Caller, Hegseth couldn’t hold back his laughter in response to the question he received at the recent press conference: A reporter accused Hegseth of “only congratulating the boys” after he used the phrase “our boys in those bombers” in a June 22 statement regarding the strikes of the nuclear sites. Hegseth said his Defense Department (DOD) will not give in to the media’s “obsession” with race, gender and other identities. “Why not acknowledge the female pilots at all who also participated in this mission? The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys,” the reporter said. “So when I say something like ‘our boys in bombers.’ See this is the kind of thing the press does, right? Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot,” Hegseth said. “That’s fantastic, she’s fantastic. She’s a hero. I want more female bomber pilots. I hope the men and women of our country sign up to do such brave and audacious things. But when you spin it because I say ‘our boys in bombers’ as a common phrase, I’ll keep saying things like that. Men or women, I’m very proud of that female pilot, just like I’m very proud of those male pilots. And I don’t care if it’s a male or a female in that cockpit and the American people don’t care. But it’s the obsession with race and gender in this department that’s changed priorities. We don’t do that anymore, we don’t play your little games.” His reaction received widespread social media praise: Way to slap that down! — howy (@howy333) June 26, 2025 He is exceeding my expectations — Annie (@anieborden1) June 26, 2025 Ouch Hegseth has learnt how to deal with the pressI love it — mind talks (@mind_talkss) June 26, 2025 Mediaite provided some characteristically critical background on the media’s coverage of Hegseth’s original statement: During a Sunday morning press conference following the attack, Hegseth heaped praise on President Donald Trump and the military campaign that saw six “bunker buster” bombs dropped on key nuclear sites in the country. He also casually called the B-2 pilots who dropped the 15-ton bombs on targets in Iran “our boys on those bombers,” which instantly got the Gray Lady in high dudgeon. A live blog covering the events for the New York Times noted the gendered language and wrote, “In the briefing, Hegseth referred to B-2 pilots as ‘our boys on those bombers,’ yet both men and women have been trained to fly them.” This brought predictable ire and ridicule from conservative-leaning outlets. Just after Hegseth insulted his former Fox News colleague Jennifer Griffin for being “one of the worst” to apparently not give Trump enough credit, he was asked by an unidentified female reporter about his comments. Here’s a full clip of Hegseth’s press conference:
