Looking for the liberal media's most anti-Trump, anti-Israel take on President Trump's decision to strike Iran? Look no further than MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin, formerly of Al Jazeera. Speaking with Rachel Maddow on Saturday night, Mohyeldin repeatedly suggested that Benjamin Netanyahu "dog-walked" President Trump into attacking Iran. This would seem to be a reversal of the antisemitic cartoon the New York Times published in 2019, where Netanyahu was the dog and Trump was a blind man. MSNBC has criticized Trump for his regular use of dog metaphors. Mohyeldin's dehumanizing claim was that Trump might have been unaware of Israel's intent to attack Iran, and that Netanyahu knew: "That at some point the political pressure domestically among Republicans, supporters of Israel and their base [the Joos!], are going to put this pressure on the president to get involved on behalf of Israel.  Mohyeldin also suggested that Netanyahu was "running circles" around Trump. Shades of Ilhan Omar accusing Israel of "hypnotizing the world." Those sly Jews, with their infernal ability to outwit others! If Trump hadn't been "dog-walked," Mohyeldin's alternative explanation was that Trump had been "lying" to the American people when he claimed to want a diplomatic solution. How about explanation number three, Ayman? Trump did pursue a diplomatic solution, but eventually concluded that an intransigent Iran was not negotiating in good faith. So the military option was the only one left to achieve Trump's goal of preventing Iran from producing nuclear weapons. For Mohyeldin, born in Egypt of an Egyptian mother and a Palestinian father, the use of "dog" to describe Trump was a calculated insult. In Arabic, calling someone a dog "implies being disloyal, treacherous, or morally low, often conveying a sense of contempt. Can imply a person is subservient or shameless, as dogs can sometimes be associated with submission." And when Mohyeldin added the metaphor of Trump being "dog-walked," it amplified the notion of him being weak and submissive, literally led around by Netanyahu. Note: Mohyeldin is the guy who accused Navy Seal Chris Kyle of being a "racist," and described his work as a sniper as "killing sprees." Mohyeldin also falsely suggested that a Palestinian stabber in Jerusalem was unarmed when shot by police, despite footage clearly showing a knife in his hand. Here's the transcript. MSNBC Reports 6/21/25 9:37 pm EDT AYMAN MOHYELDIN: And I think Donald Trump tonight, by going into this war— and there are questions about the legality of it—and there's even questions about whether he knew that this was going to happen. And I'll say this really quickly about that.  There were questions as to whether or not Israel dog-walked the Prime Minister, Israeli Prime Minister dog-walked President Trump into this war. And what I mean by that is, President Trump campaigned that he was not going to get involved in war. He talked just the day or two before this war began about how he wanted to give diplomacy a chance.  And if you take a step back and see what really happened here, Donald Trump was either in on this ruse by the prime minister, meaning he was going to go along with what was happening with an attack on Iran, but he was lying to the American people by coming out saying, hey, I want to give diplomacy a chance. I campaigned on not starting a war.  And at the same time, he was completely unaware of what Israel was going to do. And that the Israeli prime minister potentially was running circles around him because he saw, hey, this is a President of the United States that was either incompetent, or weak, or indecisive. I'm going to launch this war against Iran, knowing that at some point the political pressure domestically among Republicans, supporters of Israel and their base, are going to put this pressure on the president to get involved on behalf of Israel.  So in either way you look at it, President Donald Trump either was lying to the American public when he was telling us directly he wanted to give diplomacy a chance, or he was part of the deception of what Israel was going to do.  Or, he didn't know what Israel was going to do and was ultimately being goaded and dog-walked by the Prime Minister of Israel into this war. 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine revealed stunning new details following President Donald Trump's historic strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday. Hegseth and Caine confirmed deception was involved to execute "Operation Midnight Hammer," commending the American military who "performed flawlessly" during the mission. Part of the fleet of B-2 bombers flew West over the Pacific as a decoy while the "main strike package" headed East before striking Iran at about 6:40 pm Eastern Standard Time.'When this president speaks, the world should listen.'Hegseth also clarified that only the Iranian nuclear targets were "devastated" and that civilians were not targeted."Many presidents have dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iran's nuclear program, and none could, until President Trump," Hegseth told reporters during a press conference Sunday. "The operation President Trump planned was bold and it was brilliant, showing the world that American deterrence is back when this president speaks, the world should listen.""No other country on planet Earth could have conducted the operation that the chairman is going to outline this morning, not even close," Hegseth added.RELATED: President Trump threatens Iran with further attacks in national address touting 'spectacular military success' Caine also confirmed that American troops in the region were not notified in advance of the strikes, but were placed on high alert due to increasing tension and risk in the region. "This operation underscores the unmatched capabilities and global reach of the United States military," Caine said. "As the President clearly said last night, no other in the military in the world could have done this." Operation Midnight Hammer was executed without any internal leaks, only notifying members of Congress immediately after the strike took place.Hegseth also reiterated that the president does not intend to escalate the conflict to a full blown war, but has threatened Iran with further military action if they retaliate.RELATED: Praise, prayers, and impeachment: Reactions pour in following US attack on Iran Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images"As President Trump has stated, the United States does not seek war, but let me be clear," Hegseth said. 'We will act swiftly and decisively when our people, our partners, or our interests are threatened. Iran should listen to the president of the United States and know that he means of it every word."Trump announced the attack shortly after he arrived at the White House on Saturday afternoon. Notably, the president didn't speak with the press when he stepped off of Marine One and onto the South Lawn, but he did pause to admire his new towering flag poles before entering the White House.Like Blaze News?

I spent the first nine months of my life separated from my mother — not because of cruelty or neglect, but because Ireland enforced its immigration laws.My mother, a U.S. citizen in her late 20s, traveled to Ireland to visit her brother while pregnant with me. Medical complications during her pregnancy made further air travel unsafe, and she overstayed her visa. After my birth, Ireland’s immigration rules required her to leave while officials sorted out my paperwork.A nation without enforcement invites chaos, and chaos always hurts the most vulnerable first.As a result, I — a U.S. citizen by birth and by heritage — spent my infancy with a foster family in a foreign country.I don’t blame Ireland for enforcing its laws. I don’t blame my mother for traveling when it was risky. Life handed us a difficult situation, but the government didn’t become the villain. That experience taught me a truth that applies directly to America’s current debate over deportation and family separation.Enforcement isn’t crueltyMy story doesn’t qualify as a sob story. It’s simply the fact of the matter. For years, activists and media outlets have flooded Americans with emotional tales of children separated from their parents during deportation. The usual narrative paints Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as soulless monsters tearing families apart for sport.That’s nonsense.I lived through separation. I understand the pain. But I also understand something else: Nations enforce laws not because they’re heartless, but because they must.RELATED: One bad order could undermine Trump’s strongest issue Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesMy mother’s visa violation led to our temporary separation. The U.S. does the same to those who violate our immigration laws. These actions don’t stem from hatred or malice. They serve the purpose of preserving order, national sovereignty, and the rule of law.I know what loss feels likeI spent my earliest months far from the woman who gave me life. I never had the chance to meet my father — he was murdered before I could know him. My mother died of cancer when I was 7. Separation and loss defined my childhood.But I’ve never blamed the Irish government for upholding its laws. Immigration enforcement didn’t cause my father’s death. It didn’t cause my mother’s cancer. Life brings tragedy, sometimes with no one to blame.Emotional pain doesn’t make law enforcement unjust. It makes law enforcement necessary. Countries must uphold their borders. And when they fail to do so, real people suffer — on both sides of the law.The American system is under siegeThe United States faces a historic immigration crisis.In 2019, during President Trump’s first term, ICE arrested approximately 143,000 aliens and removed more than 267,000. In 2024, under Joe Biden, those numbers shifted: 113,431 arrests, 271,484 removals — despite over 11 million border encounters during his term. That dwarfs the roughly 3 million encounters under Trump’s entire administration.The Department of Homeland Security also reports that 1.4 million inadmissible aliens received parole into the country’s interior. As of mid-2024, nearly 650,000 criminal illegal aliens remained on ICE’s non-detained docket — free to roam the United States.That doesn’t seem like compassion. That’s more like collapse.These figures signal a breakdown of accountability. And when laws go unenforced at this scale, tragedy doesn’t just grow — it multiplies.Responsibility, not blameI only had a handful of years with my mother. I understand the impulse to blame something — or someone — when that kind of pain hits. But blame rarely leads to truth. It deflects responsibility and gives emotional suffering a temporary target.It’s a political crutch as much as a psychological one. But what if we stopped pointing fingers and started taking responsibility? Every choice brings consequences. That’s not cruelty — it’s Newton’s third law in action.Walk into someone’s home uninvited, and that person has every right to call the police. Try to explain away the trespass, and it won’t change the fact that the law exists to protect the homeowner. If we accept that principle at the level of private property, we should respect it at the level of national borders.Not every story is the sameMy situation 30 years ago was different from what we see today. My mother, aside from a parking ticket, had no criminal history. She didn’t intend to break the law. In contrast, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 44% of prosecuted illegal immigrants today already have a criminal record.I didn’t arrive in America through human smugglers. I wasn’t trafficked. I wasn’t handed over to a fraudulent sponsor.I came home because my grandfather — a World War II veteran and political organizer — fought for me. He used every resource he had, including connections to Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), to bring me back to the United States. I flew across the Atlantic on the lap of a decorated American soldier, finally returning to the country that already recognized me as its own.We owe the next generation betterThat’s why I can’t accept the argument that lawlessness is compassion. It isn’t.We owe it to every child born here, raised here, or separated like I was not to replace justice with sentimentality. A nation without enforcement invites chaos, and chaos always hurts the most vulnerable first.This debate isn’t about cruelty. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about clarity. It’s about preserving a system that works for those who follow the law — and holding accountable those who don’t.

2012's Bravely Default was a solid JRPG experience that received critical acclaim, but was pretty criminally underplayed. I wasn't as high on it as some other players back in the day, but it still delivered a solid, old-school JRPG experience heavily inspired by classic Final Fantasy games.
