Sleeper Cells? 1272 Iranians Plus the 2 Million, Crossed the Border Unvetted

Tom Homan is very concerned about the sleeper cells in this country. We all should be. It took only 21 radicals to seriously harm us on 9/11. Can you see random terror attacks like we see in nations like Israel because of this? Thank a Democrat. “I said the last four years my biggest concern […] The post Sleeper Cells? 1272 Iranians Plus the 2 Million, Crossed the Border Unvetted appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

National Security Expert on the Iran Strikes: Ending 50 Years of Iranian Hostility

“What happened last night, in my estimation, isn’t about starting another forever war in the Middle East, it’s about ending the longest one.” Victoria Coates, vice president of The Heritage Foundation’s Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy, discussed Saturday’s military action against Iran with Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo. Breaking news this morning on @SundayFutures with @MariaBartiromo.Interview with Former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates @VictoriaCoates on President Trump acting on his vow to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/codXk8pzTk— SundayMorningFutures (@SundayFutures) June 22, 2025 Her interview has been slightly edited. Maria Bartiromo: With me now is former Deputy National Security Advisor, Victoria Coates. Victoria, your reaction? Victoria Coates: What happened last night, in my estimation, isn’t about starting another forever war in the Middle East, it’s about ending the longest one. 50 years, this has been going on with Iran. And last night, the president demonstrated that he’s not going to stand for this anymore after giving diplomacy every chance. He showed the Ayatollahs that he can reach out and touch them anytime. We have these extraordinary stealth bombers, $2 billion, a plane that got in and out of there before they even knew what was happening. And he’s made it clear this isn’t about regime change, this isn’t about some kind of social engineering experiment, this is about ending a war and getting to the negotiating table to create peace. Bartiromo: What kind of a reaction are you expecting from Iran? Coates: The Iranians have very few cards, and the one that really stands out for me is this threat to close the Strait of Hormuz where all the oil tankers go in and out. We had a week earlier in June when the United States did not import a single barrel of oil from Saudi Arabia. That’s only happened once in the last half century. That’s because of the shale revolution and President [Donald] Trump’s policies during the first term. So it’s not a kill switch in the hands of the Ayatollahs anymore. This is a card that President Trump can play. Bartiromo: Yeah. This is a message, obviously, to the Iranians who, as you say, President Trump gave a lot of time to come to the negotiating table, but it’s a message to others as well. Is it not? Coates: Absolutely. If I’m [Chinese] President Xi [Jingping] or [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin, I am saying, holy cow, this morning. We didn’t know they could do that. And we had over a hundred planes involved. And all of this comes from the president though, Maria. Imagine trying to do an exercise like this under President [Joe] Biden, it simply wouldn’t have happened. It didn’t happen. We had messes like Afghanistan. You talk about America’s back, that’s what happened last night. Maria Bartiromo: What do you want to say about the actual operation, the decoy, the president directing the military to set up those jets from Missouri to cross the Pacific, and then no one expected that other jets and the stealth bombers came from a different area? Coates: Now, that’s the one thing that got my spider sense up when I got a text from my brother saying, “Why are we telling people the B-2s are in Guam? They’re stealth. They’re not supposed to know where they are.” And I thought, well, that is weird. And he apparently has better information than I do, but I think it was just masterful the way this was coordinated. And this is why it’s so important the president has his team, Secretary [of Defense] Pete Hegseth, [Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan] Kaine handpicked by him who he trusts, who are enormously competent to carry off this kind of complex, really unprecedented operation. That was just such a massive success for the US military. Maria Bartiromo: Are you expecting any issues from operatives operating in the United States right now, Iranian sleeper cells? Coates: That’s the greatest concern, Maria. They are here, they are active, and that’s what we need the FBI director, Kash Patel, to be keeping after for all of our safety.

13 Great but Obscure Novels Conservatives Should Read

13 Great but Obscure Novels Conservatives Should Read

If you’re looking for a summer read and can’t seem to find anything interesting on the shelf, there’s a new book you should consider. Actually, it’s a book about other books you should read. Hot off the press, “13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (But Probably Haven’t Read)” is an excellent introduction to a collection of novels that engage with the conservative ideals through the art form of literature. In a conversation with The Daily Signal, author Christopher Scalia explained the inspiration for the book, its purpose for the conservative movement, and its appeal as a list of fictional works. “If you talk to conservatives who like to read fiction, you can find them,” Scalia said. “But they tend to praise the same handful of books or authors. Those aren’t necessarily bad books or authors, and the purpose of this book is not to say stop reading those books—but it’s an attempt to expand the conservative bookshelf a little bit.” The book reviews authors who deal with themes of interest to conservatives or depict conservative characters and their values in sympathetic ways. Scalia aims to broaden the conservative’s library to authors beyond Evelyn Waugh, J.R.R. Tolkien, or Fydor Dostoevsky. Ordered chronologically, the book examines 13 more obscure novels by well-known authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne and George Eliot but also introduces the reader to names like Leif Enger and Christopher Beha. It was the important, and often overlooked, tie between conservatism and fiction that helped Scalia curate the list, he said. “Over the past couple of decades, conservatives have recognized how important culture is in shaping a people, shaping a nation,” said Scalia. “We’ve seen how conservatives have tried to act on that by forming production studios and the like, but I think fiction, and the novel in particular, is something we might overlook, in part because there might be the assumption that literature is necessarily a left-wing cultural concern.” That’s a big mistake, said Scalia, and a very unconservative one. “Closing yourself off from the novel is closing yourself off to some of the greatest cultural accomplishments of Western civilization in the past several 100 years. And that’s just not a very conservative thing to do.” But apart from avoiding a mistake, why should conservatives, in particular, read these books? “The primary reason anybody should read any book is because it’s enjoyable,” Scalia argued. “Nobody’s going to want to read a book because it’s the literary equivalent of eating your broccoli. My hope is that all of these novels are first and foremost great works of literature: They will entertain people, they will delight people.” The importance of fiction for Scalia goes beyond the enjoyment of its art form, however. “Conservatives will especially appreciate these works because they have important lessons,” he said. “Fiction gives us ways of understanding the world that you can’t get from nonfiction. One of the things that people always say about fiction is that it helps readers develop a sympathetic imagination—it helps us understand other people more deeply.” “That doesn’t make us necessarily better people,” Scalia noted. “Stalin had a great library, and he was not a good person. [Reading fiction] doesn’t mean that we suddenly agree with ideas we didn’t agree with or we suddenly like evil people we’re reading about, but it means that we understand more deeply how people think, how people react to or could react to different situations.” “Like all great art, fiction uses what is not literally true to understand what is literally true or what is possible,” he said before warning, “If we lose fiction, we’re losing an important way of understanding the world and the people around us.” The post 13 Great but Obscure Novels Conservatives Should Read appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Rubio warns Iran against 'suicidal' closing of Strait of Hormuz; Vance says retaliation will be met with 'overwhelming force'

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance answered tough questions about the successful U.S. attack on Iran in a pair of interviews on Sunday morning.The Trump administration is touting the success of "Operation Midnight Hammer" in which a fleet of B-2 bombers flew deep into Iran and obliterated sites known to be associated with Iran's nuclear development capabilities. Iran has not yet retaliated but had issued numerous threats against the U.S. before the strike.'It will have a lot more impact on the rest of the world, a lot more impact on the rest of the world. That would be a suicidal move on their part because I think the, the whole world would come against them if they did that.'Rubio had a lively discussion that veered into debate with Margaret Brennan of "Face the Nation" on CBS News. Brennan tried to corner Rubio on whether the U.S. was pressing for regime change in Iran in their exchange, but Rubio made it clear that their only goal was to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons."A serious foreign policy is one that's focused on identifying what our national interest is. You don't have to like the regime," said Rubio."There are a lot of regimes around the world that we don't like. Okay, but in this particular case, what we are focused on is not the changing of the regime. Okay, that's up to the Iranian people if they want to do that, but that's not what we're focused on. Our national interest is about one thing, and that is Iran not getting anywhere near the capability to weaponize and have nuclear weapons. They're not going to get anywhere near that capability. The President has made that clear from day one," he continued."Our preference for solving that problem, that very specific problem, is through diplomacy. We've said that. We've given it every opportunity. They played games, they tried delay tactics," Rubio added.RELATED: President Trump threatens Iran with further attacks in national address touting 'spectacular military success' Rubio considered the possibility of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, a move that would significantly imperil the oil trade, and warned that Iran would earn the ire of the entire globe if it did so."If they mine the Straits of Hormuz, the Chinese are going to pay a huge price," he said. "And every other country in the world is going to pay a huge price. We will too. It will have some impact on us. It will have a lot more impact on the rest of the world, a lot more impact on the rest of the world. That would be a suicidal move on their part because I think the, the whole world would come against them if they did that."Brennan also pressed Rubio on the national intelligence assessment that found no evidence that Iran's supreme leader had ordered nuclear weaponization. Rubio argued that this didn't matter because Iran had all the elements to enrich uranium and obtain nuclear weapons."That's irrelevant. I see that question being asked in the media, that's an irrelevant question, they have everything they need to build the weapon," Rubio said before getting interrupted by Brennan."That is the key point in U.S. intelligence assessments. You know that," she replied."No it's not," he fired back. "I know that better than you know that, and I know that that's not the case. You don't know what you're talking about..."Rubio went on to say the intelligence didn't matter and he pummeled Brennan with the known evidence that Iran could obtain nuclear weaponization if unopposed."Forget about intelligence. What the IAEA knows they are enriching uranium well beyond anything you need for a civil nuclear program," he said. "So why would you enrich uranium at 60%, if you don't intend to one day use it to take it to 90% and build a weapon? Why are you why are you developing ICBMs? Why do you have 8000 short range missiles and two to 3000 long- mid range missiles that you continue to develop?""Understood," she replied.Rubio also asserted that the U.S. would respond if Iran retaliated against U.S. bases in the Middle East.'If they continue to support terrorism, nuclear weapons programs, then they're going to find overwhelming American force from the American military.' In an interview with Jon Karl on "This Week" on ABC News, Vance stayed consistent with the messaging from the White House that their only goal with the bombing operation was to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He also warned that the U.S. was prepared to respond with "overwhelming force" if Iran retaliated."If they continue to pursue a nuclear weapon, you're also going to see overwhelming force from the American people. So, we've got really the ball in Iran's court here," he said. "If they make smart decisions, I think they're going to find us willing to work with them. If they continue to support terrorism, nuclear weapons programs, then they're going to find overwhelming American force from the American military. That is really the choice before the Iranians. And that's a choice only they can make." RELATED: DOD reveals stunning new details following Trump's attack on IranVance also responded to a comment from Dmitri Medvedev, the former president of the Russian Federation, who said that Iran still had nuclear enrichment capabilities and their program would continue. "I think it's a bizarre response, but I also don't know that that guy speaks for President Putin or for the Russian government," said the vice president. "One of the things that we've picked up, Jon, in our conversations with the Russians over the last few months, despite our many disagreements, of course, with the state of Russia, they've been very consistent that they don't want Iran to get a nuclear weapon," Vance explained. "Iran having a nuclear weapon, nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, is a disaster for pretty much everybody. It's one of the few issues where Russia, China and the United States have broad agreement is that we don't want to see a nuclear arms race in the Middle East," he added. "So, what the president did was very important. I'll let President Putin speak to what the official Russian position on this is." While it is too early to assess if Iran's nuclear capabilities have been completely wiped out, Vance said that the operation ensured that Iran no longer has the capacity to obtain weapons-grade uranium.Like Blaze News?

MLK: The myth of an American icon DEBUNKED

In what may come as a shock to many, Chad O. Jackson believes that the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. was not the force for good that he’s been celebrated as, but rather a “force for bad” and a "detriment to black culture."“The propaganda really made him larger than life, especially in the wake of his being martyred,” Jackson tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Fearless,” noting that a huge claim made after he rose to fame was that racial relations were now “good.”“When it comes to race relations being quote, unquote, good, I think a lot of it is sophistry,” Jackson explains. “Because what it really is, Jason, is white people walking on eggshells around black people so as not to offend them, so as not to say the wrong thing, so as to look cool.”“It turned black people into a protected class, and that was the worst thing that I think could happen to black Americans,” he continues. “Because you get this sense of entitlement, this kind of walking around being smug.”“I mean, black people today can be openly racist against white people. You see it on national television, no less, and sports and movies. It’s just everywhere. And so, you mean to tell me that’s an example of improved race relations?” he adds.Whitlock doesn’t disagree with Jackson, noting that “we’re living in that time where smart people and brave people are openly questioning everything we’ve been taught.”“One of the main reasons I do it is because I look at how big and bold the lies are that are being told right now. We went through a 10-, 15-year period of Black Lives Matter. From Trayvon Martin all the way through George Floyd, where the mainstream media was telling us there was a genocide being executed by police against black men,” Whitlock explains.“I just saw, hold on, the media is pretending there’s this wild epidemic and pandemic, and the Bloods and the Crips are not a threat; it’s the police,” he adds.Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

$8 gas: The real cost of the EV agenda

$8 gas: The real cost of the EV agenda

California drivers, brace yourselves. Starting July 1, 2025, you could be paying 65 cents more per gallon — pushing gas prices to a staggering $8 by 2026. Why? Because California regulators, fresh off the repeal of the federal electric vehicle mandate, are going full speed ahead with stricter clean fuel standards — which critics say amount to a hidden tax and a deliberate attempt to force drivers into electric vehicles.'This is engineered to make gas so expensive you’re forced into an EV, whether you want one or not.'Back in November, the California Air Resources Board — an unelected group appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom — voted to update the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard. The new rules penalize gasoline and diesel producers and reward low-carbon fuel options like EV charging infrastructure. Cleaner fuels, higher prices CARB’s goal is to cut the carbon intensity of transportation fuels 30% by 2030 and 90% by 2045. Fuel producers that exceed carbon limits must purchase credits, a cost that gets passed straight to you at the pump. While regulators tout benefits like reduced air pollution and $4 billion in new clean energy investments, experts project these rules will raise gas prices by 47 to 65 cents per gallon next year — and possibly $1.50 more by 2035.Meanwhile, two major California refineries are shutting down, reducing capacity by over 8%. That means less supply and even higher prices. Some forecasts, including one from the University of Pennsylvania's Kleinman Center for Energy Policy, warn of $8 gas by 2026.Republican Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones calls it “blatant price gouging" by an "unelected board of wealthy bureaucrats.” He’s filed a public records request to expose what he says is a coordinated effort to bypass voters and crush gas-powered mobility. About climate — or control? The timing of this update is no accident. It came just days after the 2024 election, ignoring nearly 13,000 Californians who petitioned for a delay. Republican Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil, co-sponsor of a bill to repeal the changes, warns that rural and working-class Californians can’t afford the hike.Even after the Office of Administrative Law paused the plan in early 2025 due to procedural issues, CARB was given 120 days to revise and resubmit — keeping the threat alive.RELATED: California gas-car ban overturned by Senate The Enthusiast Network/Getty ImagesDespite growing backlash, CARB has refused to revise its original 47-cent cost estimate, even as outside experts warn it could be far higher. Climate economist Danny Cullenward slammed the board’s secrecy, saying it erodes public trust. Jones put it more bluntly: “This is engineered to make gas so expensive you’re forced into an EV, whether you want one or not.” California in charge? California’s policies don’t stop at its borders. About a dozen other states — covering 35% of the U.S. population — have adopted its EV sales targets, including the 2035 gas vehicle ban. States like New York, Washington, Oregon, and Massachusetts are now weighing how to enforce similar goals without federal backup.While none of these states has matched California’s aggressive LCFS update, many use credit-based emissions programs that punish traditional fuels. Meanwhile, California’s refinery closures could send regional gas prices up 10 to 20 cents, even in states that don’t adopt LCFS-style rules.The result? A creeping increase in gas prices across the country, driven not by market forces but by regulatory agendas. Not buying it An AAA survey earlier this month found that 63% of Americans are unlikely to buy an EV, citing cost, insurance, and lack of charging stations. In California, where electricity rates are double the national average, even charging an EV isn’t much cheaper than filling a tank. With EV financing averaging $783 per month and $105 billion in taxpayer subsidies on the line, the current system favors wealthier households — while working families pay more for both gas and electricity.And it’s not just pump prices. The added costs ripple through the economy — affecting groceries, shipping, manufacturing, and transportation. The combined impact of the LCFS hike, refinery closures, and a scheduled excise tax bump could raise gas prices by as much as 90 cents per gallon in 2025. Meeting consumers, not mandates The auto industry is responding to real-world demand — not government mandates. With the federal EV mandate repealed, manufacturers are shifting their focus to hybrids and fuel-efficient gas cars while scaling back some EV plans. While new EV factories are still being built, carmakers are hedging their bets, giving consumers more options, not fewer.That’s a refreshing contrast to California’s top-down approach. Freedom vs. forced transition California defends its LCFS update as a critical step toward its 2045 net-zero target. But critics argue that the environmental benefits are exaggerated and the economic burden is real. EVs, for instance, release 26% more tire particulate pollution than gas cars, posing their own environmental risks.And if gas really hits $8 per gallon, the state’s policies may not just be unaffordable — they’ll be unsustainable.Whether you live in California, Nevada, Arizona, or a state following California’s lead, this is about more than gas. It’s about who decides how you live and what you drive. With the federal EV mandate off the table, it’s time to ask: Should unelected regulators in Sacramento get to control the fuel in your tank? Taking back the wheel Will lawmakers block the 65-cent hike? Will other states follow California’s lead? If you care about affordability and choice, now’s the time to make your voice heard. This isn’t just about a gallon of gas — it’s about the freedom to drive what works for you.For more on this, check out my video here.
