U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 11 Iranian nationals over two days, the Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday. Among those in custody is Ribvar Karimi, who “reportedly served as an Iranian army sniper from 2018 to 2021,” according to the DHS.  An Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card was in Karimi’s possession when he was arrested in Locust, Alabama, on Sunday.   Karimi entered the U.S. in October 2024 on a visa for foreigners who are engaged to be married to a U.S. citizen. But the DHS says he “never adjusted his status—a legal requirement—and is removable from the United States.”  Karimi remains in ICE custody and is facing removal from the U.S.  Ribvar Karimi Under DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the department “has been full throttle on identifying and arresting known or suspected terrorists and violent extremists that illegally entered this country, came in through [former President Joe Biden’s] fraudulent parole programs or otherwise,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.   “We have been saying we are getting the worst of the worst out—and we are,” McLaughlin added. “We don’t wait until a military operation to execute. We proactively deliver on President [Donald] Trump’s mandate to secure the homeland.”  In addition to Karimi, ICE arrested eight other Iranian nationals on Sunday and two more on Monday. The arrests of the Iranian nationals come amid concerns of the possibility of the activation of Iranian terrorist sleeper cells in the U.S. in the wake of the U.S. attack on three Iranian nuclear sites Saturday.   In Houston, ICE arrested Behzad Sepehrian Bahary Nejad, who entered the U.S. on a visa in 2016. He was arrested in 2017 for assaulting a family member, according to DHS, and in 2019, an immigration judge ordered his removal. A Department of Justice immigration judge denied his request for his case to be reopened.   Nejad was said to be carrying a loaded pistol when ICE arrested him.   Behzad Sepehrian Bahary Nejad Hamid Reza Bayat was arrested in Houston despite having been ordered removed from the U.S. in 2005. According to DHS, he has twice been “convicted of drug crimes and once convicted of driving on a suspended license.”   Hamid Reza Bayat Mehrzad Asadi Eidivand entered the U.S. in 2012, and in 2013 a judge granted him voluntary removal from the U.S., but he never left. He is “convicted of threatening a law enforcement officer and being an alien in possession of a firearm,” according to DHS.   Mehrzad Asadi Eidivand Yousef Mehridehno was arrested in Gluckstadt, Mississippi. Mehridehno entered the U.S. legally in 2017, but the government terminated his residency after it was determined that he “lied on his original visa application and committed potential marriage fraud,” according to DHS. “In February, Mehridehno was listed as a known or suspected terrorist, and he’s now in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”   Yousef Mehridehno Mahmoud Shafiei and Mehrdad Mehdipour were living together in Colorado Springs, Colo., at the time of their arrests. A judge ordered Shafiei removed from the U.S. in 1987 after he entered the U.S. in 1981.   Shafiei’s “criminal history includes state and federal convictions for drug crimes and arrests for assault and child abuse,” according to the DHS.   Mehdipour was processed for expedited removal in 2023.   Mahmoud Shafiei Mehrdad Mehdipour ICE arrested Mehran Makari Saheli in St. Paul, Minnesota. He is a “former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with admitted connections to Hezbollah,” according to DHS. He was ordered removed from the U.S. in 2022.   Mehran Makari Saheli Bahman Alizadeh Asfestani was arrested in San Francisco and has a criminal history, according to DHS, that includes “a 1994 conviction for petty theft and a 1995 conviction of possession of a controlled substance for sale.”  Bahman Alizadeh Asfestani On Monday, ICE Buffalo arrested Mohammad Rafikian who has been “convicted of grand larceny, schemes to defraud, criminal impersonation, and practicing as an attorney,” the DHS said.   Also on Monday, ICE San Diego apprehended Arkavan Babk Moirokorli. He was convicted of forging an official seal.  The post ICE Arrests 11 Iranian Nationals, Including One Who ‘Reportedly Served as Iranian Army Sniper’  appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see more of his videos. Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. What will be the reaction, here and abroad, in the coming days and weeks to the June 21, Saturday night destruction—for all practical purposes—of the Iranian nuclear program by the United States, as ordered by President Donald Trump? If you look at home, I don’t think the Left is going to have much complaint. I mean, they’re going to try to say that Donald Trump should have had permission from Congress. But after all, Sen. Tim Kaine, he’s the author of the new legislation chastising Trump for this, but he was the head of the Democratic National Committee in 2011 when Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and Ben Rhodes urged then-President Barack Obama to bomb Libya. And that was a disastrous decision and there was no congressional authority to grant that. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was in the middle of a reform with his children, and we got rid of him. And then, we were bombing them on and off for the next five years. The last thing that Barack Obama did in office—remember this—on Jan. 19, 2017, he ordered B-2 bombers, just like we saw, all the way over to Libya to bomb Libya. There wasn’t anybody in the Democratic Party that tried to stop that or said that was unconstitutional. So, the Left has no history of consistency, no logic, no morality on this. And privately, they understand they had no solution to force Iran to give up this bomb. After all, Donald Trump came in in January and all of a sudden, he was told they almost have a bomb. And his first reaction was, “Well, what did former President Joe Biden do? Why did he lift the sanction? Why did he give them $100 billion in new revenue?” So, the Left is going to be inert and quiet, I think. How about the MAGA Right? Everybody says, “The MAGA Right’s going to defect. Stephen Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens—everybody’s upset—Rand Paul.” They have concerns that this “America First,” MAGA agenda does not want to get into optional wars in the Middle East. But this is not a 1991 preliminary to an invasion, 2003 preliminary to invasion, 2011 preliminary to Gaddafi regime change. This was a designated, finite act. And now it’s over with and it’s up to Iran to do what it wants. It can either negotiate and become a peaceful presence with peaceful nuclear power or it can continue its terror. But it has no terrorist appendages to hurt us, really. And we’ll see. But even Tucker Carlson, remember, quite logically said, when he had that fiery exchange with Sen. Ted Cruz, he said, “If I had known that Iran wanted to kill Donald Trump, I would order—I would want somebody to order to bomb Iran.” We now know that the terrorist that was planning to kill Trump is being tried in absentia. He’s in Iran. It’s not in doubt. And so, we bombed Iran. And where would anybody go? I’m a MAGA supporter. If I was vehemently opposed to this one-off strike, I’d say, “Well, how about illegal immigration? It doesn’t exist anymore. Look at the border. Look at all of these things that Donald Trump has done, like, with the universities, with the tax relief.” So, there was so much of the MAGA agenda that his critics agree with, I don’t think they’re going to be very vehement. How about abroad? The Europeans were going to be very disturbed. This was not multilateral. The U.N. wasn’t involved. And I can guarantee you they’re calling Donald Trump up right now and saying, “Thank God you did this because we were much closer to Iran than you were. And we were very worried about this crazy regime—according to the Israelis—days away from obtaining a nuclear weapon.” How about the Arab world? The Arab world, before this attack, was very—it was angry at Israel. Remember they said, “The Zionists should not have had a preliminary, preemptive war. This was wrong. It’s disruptive.” And they had a point. They ship oil out of the Strait of Hormuz. But that was the public reaction. Privately, they were telling the Israelis or the United States, “If you’re going to get rid of the Iranian nuclear threat and neuter that regime, please, please do it. But do it completely. Do not leave this wounded animal in our backyard because we can’t handle it. So, either get rid of it or promise us that you will get rid of it.” And now, the reaction to this destruction, especially at Fordow, is typical: Express public regret, instability, da, da, da, but private relief. And then finally, what are China and Russia going to do? Russia, everybody says that Russian President Vladimir Putin is very angry. Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, has said that he might give nuclear weapons to Iran. I don’t think he’ll do that because the last thing in the world you want is nuclear proliferation because there’s a lot of people in Japan and South Korea and Australia and Taiwan that want nuclear weapons and, unlike the ones in Iran, they will work. And we are doing our best to ensure them they’re all under our umbrella. So, that would be an empty threat and a stupid threat. But more importantly, Putin is saying, privately, “I’m tied down in Ukraine. I can’t do anything. I’ve lost a million dead and wounded. I’ve been kicked out of the Middle East when I lost the pawn of Bashar Assad. But the fact there’s turmoil in the Middle East and the price of oil will go up benefits me because I’m broke. And this will be very good for my war machine.” As far as China goes, China’s got the opposite reaction, in one way, but it’s similar: “I don’t want to get involved. Until all this happened, we bought 90% of Iranian oil. I want that oil on the market. And we bought 50% of the oil that left the Strait of Hormuz. I don’t like what happened. But on the other hand, I think that Trump is a little bit too volatile and is a little bit too uncertain and is a little bit too fluid for me. So, I’m going to quiet down and make sure that stability returns to the region and we get our oil.” And that, finally, that dittos Putin as well. Putin is going to say to everyone in his circle: There was a reason that I went in under George Bush into Georgia and Ossetia when he was wounded from Iran. There was a reason I went in—Barack Obama. Remember the ‘hot mic deal’ in Seoul? ‘Give me some space, Putin. And this is my last election, and I’ll dismantle missile defense.’ That’s when I went into the Donbas and Crimea. There was a reason—once I saw what happened in Afghanistan—why I went in, during the Biden administration, back in and tried to take Kyiv. I didn’t go in during the Trump administration. And I don’t want to do anything like that again, either, during the second Trump administration. He’s just too unpredictable. Bottom line: All the critics here and abroad, they’re going to be loud, but I don’t think they’re going to have any consequence. We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.

The U.S. Department of Justice is “digging and looking” into the Biden administration’s weaponization of school boards against parents, DOJ official Ed Martin said. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland sent a memo in 2021 directing the DOJ and the FBI to “launch a series of additional efforts in the coming days designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel.”  Conservatives saw the memo as seen an attempt to use the FBI to threaten and silence parents who voiced concerns with left-wing school board policies, such as critical race theory and radical gender ideology. Martin, U.S. pardon attorney and President Donald Trump’s “weaponization czar,” said the memo was “government weaponized against ‘we the people.’” “If you got hurt, let us know,” Martin said. “We’re digging and listening.” The Garland memo targeting school board parents was govt weaponized against “we the people.” If you got hurt, let us know. We’re digging and listening. pic.twitter.com/BgH9gR9WFe— Eagle Ed Martin (@EagleEdMartin) June 24, 2025 Martin thanked parents who have already come forward and stood up against the weaponization of school boards against them. After Martin was unable to achieve the necessary Senate votes to be confirmed as U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., Trump put him in charge of remedying the weaponization of government against Americans. Parental rights activist Tiffany Justice met with Martin on Monday to discuss the weaponization of government against parents under Biden, The Daily Signal has learned. Justice is co-founder of Moms for Liberty and a visiting fellow in parental rights at The Heritage Foundation. Justice shared with Martin what American parents were concerned about under the Biden administration, including COVID-19 lockdowns, learning loss, and falling test scores. She is confident Martin will look into how the government was weaponized against both parents and, more specifically, Catholics. “Exposing it so that it never happens again, really showing who was involved and what their motivations were, would give parents a lot of satisfaction,” Justice said. She would like Martin to expose teachers unions for the roles they played in the DOJ branding parents as “domestic extremists.” The National School Boards Association sent a letter to the Department of Justice, which prompted Garland’s memo. “The unions are the foot soldiers of the progressive far left,” Justice said. “Since the creation of the Department of Education, [unions] have had an undue influence in our children’s lives and our children’s education, and they are using the school system to radically transform our country. Anything that we can do to reduce the influence and impact of the teachers unions is something that I’m supportive of.” [unions] have had an undue influence in our children’s lives and our children’s education, and they are using the school system to radically transform our country. Anything that we can do to reduce the influence and impact of the teachers unions is something that I’m supportive of.” The post DOJ ‘Digging and Looking’ Into Anti-Parent School Board Activity Under Biden Admin appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Kind of Trippy When the Train for NATO VIPs Might Have Been Sabotaged

Leaked DIA Report: Iranian Nuclear Sites Sealed Up but Not Destroyed

The rapidly fleeting shelf-life of the half-cocked doomist agitprop from lefty outlets like The New York Times desperate for an anti-Trump banger of a story is comedic gold in its own right. Times economic policy reporter Tony Romm tried to be quick-on-the-draw by firing off an alarmist piece of propaganda June 23 that President Donald Trump’s strategic attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities could possibly cause oil prices to go to the moon. Trump, in Romm’s view, had to “confront the potential economic blowback from his military strikes on Iran, which threatened to send oil and gas prices soaring at a moment when U.S. consumers are already facing significant financial strains.” That was just before oil prices would plummet well over four percent just a day later on June 24.  In fact, CNN reported that “Oil is falling so much it’s now cheaper than it was before the Iran-Israel conflict.” Oof! Talk about perfect timing, eh Romm? Derp.  What’s even more hilarious is that Romm’s piece concocting the specter of spiking oil prices was plastered onto the front page of the business section of The Times’s June 24 print edition … while prices were already tumbling! In effect, Romm’s analysis was already rendered useless before the newspaper chose to put it in print.  Now, reading Romm’s absurdity in retrospect comically showcases why these journos know as much about the trajectory of the economy as they do about tomorrow’s weather: A spike in oil prices would only add to the mounting political headaches facing Mr. Trump, who has promised to salve stubbornly high inflation dating back to the coronavirus pandemic. Speculating about the future is not "news." It's just spin. It often sounds like...wishful thinking.  Romm continued to bleat how “[a] spike in energy costs could prove especially difficult for American consumers and businesses this summer, given that it could arrive at about the same time that Mr. Trump plans to revive his expansive, steep tariffs on nearly every U.S. trading partner.” Romm may have to revise that analysis now that oil prices, a major factor in determining aggregate energy prices, are trending in the other direction. Many economists expect those levies to push up prices after years of high inflation,” claimed Romm, who apparently memory-holed the fact that the Trump economy has repeatedly shown these predictions to be ludicrous.  Romm isn’t the only one to beclown himself over Trump’s handling of the Israel-Iran conflict.  The Atlantic staff writer David Frum made himself into a meme when he made it seem like Iran had President Trump’s number in a June 21 screed published at 9:00 am ET, “The mullahs of Iran join the bet that Trump always chickens out,” in reference to Trump’s deceptive remark that he would wait two weeks before making a decision on military strikes. Just hours after Frum’s piece went live, U.S. B-2 bombers would strike three of Iran’s nuclear sites with 30,000 pound bunker-buster bombs on Trump’s orders.  On the “two-weeks” deception, a Trump adviser admitted to Axios that “[i]t was a headfake … [Trump] knew the media couldn't resist amplifying it. He knew the Iranians might think he was bluffing. Well, everyone was wrong."  Was Romm taking his reporting cues from Frum? Who knows, but journos writ large should at least try to be a bit more smart with their anti-Trump propaganda.

The Iran crisis of the past two weeks isn’t just about nuclear weapons — it’s also an urgent reminder that border security is national security. Tehran’s terrorist agents are a weapon with a much longer reach than any of the mullahs’ missiles. They’ve been a threat to Salman Rushdie’s life in the United States and Europe for more than 35 years, and in 2022 an attacker sympathetic to the Iranian government cost the author of “The Satanic Verses” one of his eyes and very nearly his life. President Donald Trump has been the target of other Iranian plots. According to court documents, Asif Merchant, a Pakistani man arrested in Texas last year, “indicated an affinity for Iran” when he attempted to hire hitmen to help murder a “political person” believed to be Trump — a scheme thwarted because the associates he sought to recruit were in fact FBI agents. A second plot involved Farhad Shakeri, an Afghan national now on the lam in Iran. In November, federal prosecutors in Manhattan charged Shakeri with providing material support for a foreign terrorist organization and planning to kill Trump on behalf of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Shakeri and two associates also stand accused of concocting a plan to murder “a U.S. citizen of Iranian origin who has publicly opposed the Iranian government,” according to Politico. Incidents like these don’t receive much media attention not only because they’re unsuccessful but also because they’re not very unusual — it’s not news that Iran is a sponsor of terrorist mayhem and murder. After American forces bombed three Iranian nuclear-program sites on Saturday, NBC News reported Iran had earlier warned Trump it could activate “sleeper cells” within the United States to retaliate against an attack on its facilities. Rodney Scott, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, alerted CBP agents to the danger the country now faces because of the porous border policies of the Joe Biden administration: “Over the past four years, thousands of Iranian (nationals) have been documented entering the United States illegally and countless more were likely in the known and unknown got-a-ways,” he wrote in an agency memo. Fox News Channel reports more than 1,500 Iranians were apprehended illegally entering via the southern border during the Biden years — and more than 700 of them were released into our country after their arrest. America has bitter experience of terrorism made possible by weak immigration enforcement. Five of the 19 hijackers who pulled off the worst terrorist attack in our history on 9/11, 2001, were in the country on expired visas. But the legal immigration status of the other 14 is at least as much of a scandal — was there really nothing that could be done to screen out these terrorists? Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration and tightening of border controls and admissions guidelines for foreign students and other legal visitors have outraged liberals, but detecting signs of radicalism before an IRGC or al-Qaeda sympathizer has the opportunity to strike is what’s necessary to prevent another 9/11. Iran has for decades used Hezbollah and other terrorist proxies to menace Israel and other nearby neighbors, as well as to kill Americans in Lebanon, Iraq and elsewhere. Liberals in our country think of “globalization” as a benign economic process involving the free movement of capital, people and ideas across borders. But what happens when the people are terrorists, the capital finances their attacks, and the ideas are anti-Semitic and anti-American? Globalization extends the battlefields of regional wars to our own land and airspace. The voters who returned Trump to the White House think globalization has been a raw deal for their livelihoods and a solvent to their communities. But globalization has also changed the nature of war, heightening the need for vigilance at our borders. Iran doesn’t have missiles that can reach our shores, but it has other weapons that can. Firmer control over who comes into our country is what’s required to take that weapon away from Iran — and every other dangerous regime. Israel was able to launch its preventive war against Iran’s nuclear program because it had successfully degraded and largely defanged Hezbollah. There would be no two-front war for Israel — one over Iran, the other at home. America is blessed to have two oceans separating us from the conflicts of the Old World and no neighbors who hate us for our religion or way of life. The security we enjoy on our continent, and throughout the Americas, has been the envy of other great powers for two and a half centuries. But the tranquility our geography and history afford us has to be defended against the dark side of globalization, including the transcontinental terrorism it makes possible. Winning the wars of the future calls for stopping them from ever getting started within our borders. Daniel McCarthy is the editor of Modern Age: A Conservative Review.

The vice mayor of a small city in Los Angeles County may be regretting her apparent taunting challenge to gang members to organize resistance to Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation operations after the feds reportedly opened an investigation about the post. Cynthia Gonzalez reportedly posted a video of herself asking gang members in Los Angeles why they haven't stepped up to defend their turf against federal agents as the feud between local officials and the Trump administration continues. 'You guys tag everything up, claiming hood, and now that your hood's being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain't a peep out of you!' "Not for nothing, but I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles," said Gonzalez in a video posted on social media by Bill Melugin of Fox News. "Cholos" refers to Hispanics, primarily Mexican-Americans, who are gang members. She went on to call out specific gangs of the area by name, including Florencia 13, which is connected to the Mexican Mafia. "18th Street, Florencia, where is the leadership at? Because you guys are all about territory, 'This is 18th Street,' and, 'This is Florencia.' You guys tag everything up, claiming hood, and now that your hood's being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain't a peep out of you!" she continued."It's everybody else who's not about the gang life that's out there protesting and speaking up. We're out there, like, fighting our turf! Protecting our turf, protecting our people! And like where you at?" she added. "Bien calladitos!" she repeats, which is Spanish for "very quiet!"

On your streets and in your city! And [look], when the big gangs, the guns come in, nothing but like quiet, and we're out here, the regular ones that have never been jumped in, out here, calling things out, trying to organize people, trying to do the thing!" Gonzalez continued. "So don't be trying to claim no block, no nothing, if you're not showing up right now, trying to like help out and organize. I don't want to hear a peep out of you once they're gone!" she added. She reportedly later deleted the video. Melugin said that federal sources told him FBI agents had visited her home, and an investigation was opened into the video. The FBI told Fox it could not confirm or deny the investigation. He also said he reached out to Gonzales and the city of Cudahy but received no response. Although Cudahy is a small town by area, which is just above one square mile, it has among the highest density ratios in the U.S. because of its 22,800 residents. Like Blaze News?

House Democrats unanimously voted against a resolution Tuesday formally condemning the destructive anti-ICE riots that took place in Los Angeles, California. The resolution narrowly passed the House, with 217 Republicans voting in the affirmative while 206 Democrats voted in the negative. The riots protesting ICE deportations in Southern California involved rocks being hurdled at law enforcement and attendees waving foreign flags. 'Peaceful protests are a constitutional right, but vandalism, looting, violence, and other crimes are not.'Even as multiple cars burned in a news clip, one anchor described the riots as "relatively peaceful" and "relatively calm," reminding many viewers of the "fiery but mostly peaceful" BLM riots of 2020, according to CNN.House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took issue with the resolution, saying he "will not be lectured by extreme MAGA Republicans about questions of law and order." He also disagreed with the classification, saying there was "unrest" but refusing to acknowledge that it was a riot.RELATED: Republican senator makes a stunning admission: 'I can't be somebody that I'm not' Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu via Getty Images Notably, the resolution "recognizes the right to assemble and protest peacefully" and "condemns unequivocally the violence perpetrated against Federal, State, and local law enforcement." Despite claiming to hold the same values outlined in the resolution, Jeffries and his 205 colleagues voted against the resolution.RELATED: Republicans clash with Democratic lawmakers defending violent anti-ICE rioters Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu via Getty Images California Republican Rep. Young Kim spearheaded the resolution, emphasizing the distinction between peaceful protests and outright chaos and lawlessness. "Peaceful protests are a constitutional right, but vandalism, looting, violence, and other crimes are not," Kim said. "Protecting public safety shouldn’t be controversial, which is why I am leading the California Republican delegation in a resolution to support law and order as we continue to see unrest."

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont (I) tried to make his case against campaign contributions on the right in front of Joe Rogan, but the popular podcaster shut him down quickly.Sanders made his pitch against large campaign contributions made by tech billionaire Elon Musk while being interviewed by Rogan on his show.'I think that's probably the worst decision that the Supreme Court has ever made.'Sanders got Rogan to agree that the U.S. has a "corrupt campaign finance system" and then went on to assail the Citizens United decision by the U.S. Supreme Court."What it says is, 'You're a billionaire. You have now the constitutional right because your money is your freedom of expression,' right?" Sanders explained."So you don't like Bernie Sanders. You can put millions or hundreds of millions of dollars into a campaign and express your view about how terrible Bernie Sanders is, and you can buy that election, right?" he added. "That's your constitutional right.""Right," Rogan said."I think that's probably the worst decision that the Supreme Court has ever made. So what is the result of that decision?" Sanders said.RELATED: Bernie Sanders' aide lashes out at women of 'The View' for segment calling him sexist "The result of that decision, let's take us to where we are today, is that Elon Musk, and I know Elon was on your show," Sanders continued, "... He spent $270 million to elect Trump as president. I think that's absurd, that any one person ...""What's the most someone donated towards the Harris campaign?" Rogan interjected."They spent a lot of money on Harris as well," replied Sanders."They spent $1.5 billion just over the course of a couple of months," Rogan responded."You got it!" Sanders said. "I'm not here to say it's just a Republican — that's my point here."Rogan went on to ridicule the powers that would try to defeat any campaign financing reform, which delighted Sanders.A video clip of the debate went viral on social media, with one post garnering more than 1.4 million views in a few hours.Rogan has previously said that he was a supporter of Bernie Sanders as president, but he dropped a surprise endorsement for Trump in the last days before the 2024 election.Like Blaze News?
