The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reportedly alerted police departments in California that in the coming days, Iran could retaliate by launching drones toward the Golden State. This follows the United States' late February strikes on Iran, in collaboration with Israel.

Tucker’s favorite guest, Jeffrey Sacks, wants government at all levels. He also wants the UN to be the global government. That’s a huge NOOOOO! Why not have an Interplanetary Federation of Governments to make it a clean sweep by the globalists’ Orwellian nightmare? Sacks is an ally of the UN communists and George Soros.

The effort to get the SAVE America Act to President Donald Trump’s desk intensified on Wednesday, when Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) released an op-ed highlighting that he would back “whatever changes to Senate rules” were deemed necessary in order to pass the bill. Cornyn’s op-ed comes as he and Attorney General Ken Paxton are battling for Trump’s endorsement in the heated Texas Republican Senate primary that is already headed to a May 26 runoff election. The president has said that the SAVE America Act is his top legislative priority, even vowing not to sign any other legislation until he sees it on his desk, and some Republicans have suggested using the “talking filibuster” — or ending the filibuster altogether — in order to get around Democratic obstruction. The measure would require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration and voter ID at the ballot box. “For many years, I believed that if the U.S. Senate scrapped the filibuster, Texas and our nation would stand to lose more than we would gain,” Cornyn wrote in his op-ed for the New York Post. “My fellow conservatives and I have proudly used the 60-vote threshold to protect the country from all sorts of bad ideas and dangerous policies,” he added, saying that “when the reality on the ground changes, leaders must take stock and adapt.” “Today, Democrats are weaponizing the Senate’s rules to block the SAVE America Act, defund the Department of Homeland Security and hurt the American people — all to spite President Donald Trump. But they say openly that if these same rules ever get in Democrats’ way, they won’t hesitate to rip them up,” he said, noting how many Democrats have sought to get rid of the filibuster in the past. Critics of using a “talking filibuster” — or ending the practice altogether — have warned that it could open the floodgates to certain legislative proposals that the Democrats, and perhaps a small number of Republicans, could pass. “A lot of that is, it’s in that kind of, you know, paid influencer ecosystem,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune told NBC News on Monday. “What people don’t realize, I think, is that’s unlimited debate but it’s also unlimited amendments,” Thune has previously warned, according to The Hill. Attorney General Ken Paxton used Cornyn’s op-ed as an opportunity to attack the incumbent senator, reminding everyone that he had posted on X one week prior that he “would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.” “John Cornyn did exactly what I predicted. In one week, I’ve made him more conservative than in the past 24 years,” Paxton posted Wednesday. “The historic flip-flop’s great and all, but why aren’t you calling out your buddies like McConnell opposing the bill? Tell the American people who’s opposing this.” The Republican primary has taken a strikingly personal tone as the runoff approaches, with the Cornyn campaign releasing a commercial on Friday regarding Paxton’s personal scandals and accusing the sitting attorney general of breaking several of the Ten Commandments. Democrats have begun coalescing around state Sen. James Talarico, who defeated Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the primary last week — but according to the Cook Political Report, the general election race still skews “Likely Republican.”

Former Meta executive Sheryl Sandberg said the popularity of the “tradwife” lifestyle could be “detrimental to women, and further asserts that these “very, very, very, sexist” gender roles need to be revised. Sandberg claimed that the rise of the tradwife trend has caused more harm than good. “The message that is going out is that in order to be a good wife or a good mother, you need to do it full time,” the former Meta exec told People. “And the truth is that that is a decision almost no women can afford to make.” “If you look at the percentages of women who need to work outside of the home to support their families, it’s the great majority of women,” Sandeberg went on. “And so these messages that ‘this is how you have a successful marriage, that this is how you have six children,’ I think, are very detrimental to women.” The 56-year-old tech exec is best known for serving as Meta’s chief operating officer from 2008 to 2022. She is also the founder of LeanIn.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to “offering women the ongoing inspiration and support to help them achieve their goals.” She went on to clarify, “I don’t think they are meant that way … there are so many messages that tell women what their place is that limit their ambition…and this is potentially, inadvertently, one of them.” “If you have the resources and you want to be a tradwife, that’s great,” Sandberg told the outlet. “That’s for you to decide.” She went on to repeat the popular leftist talking point that traditional gender roles were the real villain of the story.  “We need to be realistic and we need to not use new ideas to reinforce what are old, outdated and very, very, very sexist notions of what roles are,” Sandberg said, adding that she thinks terms like “tradwife” make women who choose to work feel guilty. “Let’s be clear: You are not harming your marriage and you are not harming your children by working and by being ambitious,” she insisted. One of the most infamous examples of the tradwife trend going viral online is social media influencer Hannah Neeleman, better known by her social handle and business name, Ballerina Farm. She just made headlines again for announcing she was pregnant with her ninth child. Neeleman has received criticism from the Left for being “a hammer blow for feminism,” but she’s also earned a decent number of critics on the conservative side. They argue that because her husband’s family is very wealthy, she’s not exemplifying the sacrificial life of a stay-at-home mother.

The FBI recently warned California authorities that Iran was potentially plotting “a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles” targeting the West Coast in retaliation for a U.S. strike on the Iranian regime. The FBI alert was first reported by ABC News on Wednesday. The alert, which was communicated to California law enforcement, said the FBI first became aware of the potential Iranian threat in early February. “We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State[s] Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,” the FBI said, according to ABC News. “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.” The FBI declined to comment when asked about the reported alert. The Daily Wire also reached out to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security for comment. California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office told The Daily Wire, “This bulletin is one of numerous security updates the state receives from federal partners daily and disseminates to local law enforcement and emergency responders.” Newsom said in a video message that he was “aware” of the alert from the FBI, adding, “Drone issues have always been top of mind. We’ve assembled work groups specifically around those concerns. That’s all I will share at the moment.” After President Donald Trump authorized “Operation Epic Fury” on February 28, Iran retaliated with missile strikes targeting U.S. bases throughout the Middle East. At least seven U.S. troops have been killed in the Iranian strikes, and around 140 more were wounded. The Trump administration has also been on high alert for domestic terror attacks in the United States as the war in Iran continues. When asked by The Daily Wire earlier this month about potential terror threats, War Secretary Pete Hegseth said, “We’re ready for that. We’ve seen these types of folks before. And the American people can rest assured that we’re vigilant on that.” Three people were killed and over a dozen more were wounded when a man wearing a shirt depicting an Iranian flag opened fire at a bar in Austin, Texas, just hours after Trump announced that the United States was conducting strikes in Iran. The shooting has not been linked to Iranian-backed terrorism as authorities continue to investigate. The shooter, Ndiaga Diagne — a Senegalese immigrant — also wore a sweatshirt that was emblazoned with the phrase, “Property of Allah.”
