Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth bashed the corporate media for “searching for scandals” following the U.S. attack on three Iranian nuclear sites.   “But searching for scandals, you miss historic moments,” Hegseth said Thursday morning during a press conference at the Pentagon, during which Hegseth praised President Donald Trump for his leadership at the NATO summit on Wednesday, and for green lighting the attack on Iran’s nuclear program. .@SecDef Pete Hegseth to the media: "Searching for scandals, you miss historic moments." pic.twitter.com/5uCXlFHVix— The Daily Signal (@DailySignal) June 26, 2025 Hegseth specifically criticized CNN, MSNBC, and The New York Times for “fawning coverage of a preliminary assessment” from the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm, that suggested the U.S. strikes on Iran’s Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites did not eliminate key parts of Iran’s nuclear program.   CNN reported that Saturday’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites did not eliminate “core components” of Iran’s nuclear program and likely only delayed the program by several months. The New York Times similarly reported that the strikes delayed Iran’s nuclear program, but did not destroy Iran’s underground nuclear facilities.    Hegseth stressed that the DIA report was “preliminary” and “points out that it’s not been coordinated with the intelligence community at all,” adding there is “low confidence in this particular report. It says in the report there are gaps in the information.”  The attack over the weekend on Iran’s nuclear sites was a success, Hegseth said, noting “there are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that, because of the hatred of this press corps, are undermined because your people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn’t successful. It’s irresponsible.”   'IRRESPONSIBLE': @SecDef Pete Hegseth says media's coverage of the Iranian bomb strike as "unsuccessful" has undermined the efforts of the men and women involved in the 36-hour mission. pic.twitter.com/jG22dbByO6— The Daily Signal (@DailySignal) June 26, 2025 The bottom line, according to the defense secretary, is “President Trump directed the most complex and secretive military operation in history, and it was a resounding success resulting in a ceasefire agreement and the end of the 12-day war.”   The DIA report was “leaked because someone had an agenda to try to muddy the waters and make it look like this historic strike wasn’t successful,” Hegseth told the press before citing a number of assessments on the success of the U.S. attack on Iran’s nuclear sites.   On Wednesday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe said, “CIA can confirm that a body of credible intelligence indicates Iran’s Nuclear Program has been severely damaged.”   The Israel Atomic Energy Commission said the “U.S. strike on Fordo destroyed the site’s critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facilities inoperable.”  Institute for Science and International Security President David Albright assessed the U.S. attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, saying, “Israel’s and U.S. attacks have effectively destroyed Iran’s centrifuge enrichment program. It will be a long time before Iran comes anywhere near the capability it had before the attack.”  Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called the operation a “resounding success,” adding that the U.S. “missiles were delivered precisely and accurately, obliterating key Iranian capabilities needed to quickly assemble a nuclear weapon.”  Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine spoke alongside Hegseth at Thursday’s press conference and said while the military leaves the assessment of the success of an operation to the intelligence community, five facts points to the mission’s success.   “First, that the weapons were built, tested, and loaded properly,” Caine said of the bombs dropped on Iran’s nuclear sites.   “Two,” Caine continued, “the weapons were released on speed and on parameters. Three, the weapon’s all guided to their intended targets and to their intended aim points. Four, the weapons functioned as designed, meaning they exploded. … And we know that the trailing jets saw the first weapons function and the pilot stated, quote, ‘This was the brightest explosion that I’ve ever seen.’”  The post ‘Searching for Scandals’: Hegseth Scolds Media Over Reporting of US Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Sites appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Racism is despicable and must be fought. Not a controversial statement, right? But what if racism rebranded itself as … “anti-racism”? The consequences of such “anti-racism” are what the Asian American community is currently facing, and no place has been more of a flashpoint for that than Northern Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. This prestigious public school has been at the center of a long battle between the Virginia Department of Education’s anti-racism directives propagated by former Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s administration and the Asian American parents who brought suit because their kids were eventually denied admission after so many of them were getting in and other minorities with lower qualifications weren’t. Despite the U.S. Supreme Court passing on hearing their case last year, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the allegations. The Daily Signal sat down with Helen Raleigh, a woman who escaped Communist China and came to America as a college student. Her most recent book is “Not Outsiders,” and she talked to us about the quiet racial prejudices the Asian American community faces today.

Amid mounting unrest over economic conditions and state governance, Kenyan authorities on Wednesday intensified their suppression of dissent by blocking access to Telegram and silencing prominent television broadcasters. The clampdown coincided with the anniversary of last year’s fatal demonstrations opposing the Finance Bill and a nationwide prohibition on broadcasting protest footage live. Almost immediately, the move sparked widespread alarm among civil society groups, legal experts, and press organizations, who denounced the measures as a grave infringement on constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of speech and access to information. NetBlocks, a global digital rights monitor, reported a dramatic drop in Telegram accessibility across Kenya, confirming a near-total outage by mid-afternoon. “Live network data show a major disruption to internet connectivity in #Kenya; the incident comes amidst a deadly crackdown by police on #RejectFinanceBill2024 protesters a day after authorities claimed there would be no internet shutdown,” the organization posted. Telegram, widely used for organizing demonstrations and disseminating real-time updates, saw its reach shrink to virtually zero, effectively isolating millions of users. Shortly after, the digital silencing was compounded by a broadcast blackout. Major outlets including KTN News, NTV, and Citizen TV were pulled off the air following a contentious order from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA). The directive, issued on June 25, accused stations of violating Kenya’s Constitution and the Kenya Information and Communications Act by airing protest coverage that could allegedly compromise public order. KTN News acknowledged the move, stating, “KTN taken off-air following Communications Authority directive to halt live coverage of protests; but coverage continues on KTN News YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter platforms.” Standard Group, which owns KTN, responded forcefully: “We will sue any signal carrier who switches our channels off air without explanation that can withstand the scrutiny of law, justice, and fairness.” The company described the directive as both “illegal and unconstitutional.” Nation Media Group, the operator of NTV, echoed those concerns, declaring, “The shutdown of NTV is a direct interference with our editorial operations and a suppression of the media’s constitutionally protected role.” They cited Article 34(2) of the Constitution, reinforcing that media content must remain free from government interference. With traditional outlets forced off the air, many turned to digital alternatives. Livestreams and posts on platforms like TikTok, X, Facebook, and Instagram continued to relay events to the public, highlighting the resilience of grassroots journalism in the face of institutional shutdowns.

View Edit Delete Revisions Entityqueue Which of the last five presidents ranks the worst when it comes to antisemitism? Three out of six artificial intelligence chatbots pointed the finger at President Donald Trump, and one flat out refused to answer.  Despite Trump’s very strong record on Israel and antisemitism, and despite having Jewish family members, artificial intelligence chatbots Gemini, ChatGPT and Meta AI each claimed Trump was the worst of the last five presidents, “specifically with regard to antisemitism.” Meta even rated Trump last for going too far in condemning antisemitism. While Microsoft’s Copilot would not answer the question, X’s Grok and communist Chinese government-tied DeepSeek ranked Trump as the best positioned against antisemitism.  MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider torched Gemini and Meta for their nonsensical answers. “It’s comical that Google’s Gemini pretends to have an opinion on antisemitism when its CEO has refused to condemn the Hamas atrocities as antisemitic,” he said. “And Meta should check its own algorithm because its AI is downgrading Trump for protecting Jewish students on college campuses. You’d think that Mark Zuckerberg would want to give Trump a gold medal for his defense of Jews and their ability to exercise their rights. Once again, Elon Musk has greater clarity than his competitors. The others need to put aside their partisanship and instead focus on creating better products.” [Story Continues on MRC Free Speech America]

On Tuesday night, MSNBC’s The Briefing With Jen Psaki, regurgitated the same unreliable, CNN article that claimed the U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities “only set them back by a few months.” Psaki even went as far as to say that Trump was always “about obfuscation and defiance being prioritized over facts.” Yes, Jen Psaki was the one who said this -- the former obfuscator for President Biden and for Secretary of State John Kerry before that.  Psaki wanted to quibble over the word “obliterate” by elevating one assessment that was leaked to the press, while others remained classified:     PSAKI: Iran’s nuclear program has been completely and totally obliterated. I feel like maybe they had a notecard that said “obliterated” on it, and they gave it to all those people and made them say it, who knows? But that was the message from the Trump administration since Saturday night, clearly, that's what they kept saying over and over and over again. Even, by the way, as top members of the military, including high ranking people within this administration, were saying it’s too early to make an assessment. Because it is too early — was too early to make an assessment, and now here are the headlines from this afternoon.  (...) And, our own reporting, NBC News put an even finer point on it, saying, quote, “An initial assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency concludes that the U.S. airstrikes conducted over the weekend on Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites were not as effective as President Donald Trump said…” To state the obvious, claiming you obliterated Iran’s nuclear program doesn’t make it so, and it’s something that people then assess, including the military. Instead of thanking our dedicated U.S. military personnel who carried out this extraordinary strike, Jen Psaki chose to run a smear segment on President Trump based off of “anonymous” reports from someone in the intelligence community. She quoted the NBC News article that claimed the initial assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency concluded that the U.S. airstrikes were not as effective as Trump said, while also citing this CNN article. Keep in mind while reading this article that the “journalist,” Natasha Bertrand also wrote a story that claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation.  The former Biden press secretary went on to spew this ironic statement: “But for Trump, it’s always about the one day of headlines, the one-word slogan, claiming victory right off the bat, about obfuscation and defiance being prioritized over facts, and that will continue, I expect, even in the face of these new facts.” Psaki claimed Trump was about defiance over facts while presenting a story from a low level, preliminary assessment, that claimed damage to the sites could be limited or very severe, of course, CNN didn’t include the severe part. Ignoring how the confidentiality classifications were generated and why they exist, and that different analysts could have different assessments, Psaki finished by asking why this assessment was classified as top secret if it was false: If the assessment is "flat out wrong," why was it classified as Top Secret, as she also characterized it? And if it’s top secret, why do low level losers, as she called them, have access to it? Lots of questions there. Her statement obviously makes no sense. Of course it doesn’t, but we see this cycle constantly, Donald Trump says something, facts and reality say something else, and then his people have to kind of twist themselves into knots trying to explain why he’s right and we’re all, apparently, crazy. Though, we’re not. “Journalists” like Psaki and Bertrand were the exact reason these types of reports were sealed in the first place. Reporters took this initial, low level report and ran with it, highlighting the reason they weren’t released and readily available to news outlets like MSNBC, CNN, and The New York Times.  Here’s the White House’s official website that has the reports of 17 officials who were closer to the operation than these news outlets could ever dream of. All 17 made the claim that Iran’s nuclear sites were, in fact, very badly damaged by the U.S. strikes. In a matchup of 17 officials closely involved in the strike vs one anonymous intelligence leak, the United States (which boasts the greatest military the world has ever seen) had better odds in regards to utterly destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities.

They have lied to all of us, over and over and over again.  [CLIPS OF TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S RESPONSE TO IRAN STRIKES] DONALD TRUMP: Iran’s key nuclear facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Those pilots hit their targets, those targets were obliterated JD VANCE: We have obliterated the Iranian nuclear program KAROLINE LEAVITT: We are confident — yes — that Iran’s nuclear sites were completely and totally obliterated. JEN PSAKI: Iran’s nuclear program has been completely and totally obliterated. I feel like maybe they had a notecard that said “obliterated” on it, and they gave it to all those people and made them say it, who knows? But that was the message from the Trump administration since Saturday night, clearly, that's what they kept saying over and over and over again. Even, by the way, as top members of the military, including high ranking people within this administration, were saying it’s too early to make an assessment. Because it is too early — was too early to make an assessment, and now here are the headlines from this afternoon.  Here’s one from CNN: “Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites.” From the New York Times, “Strikes Set Back Iran’s Nuclear Program by Only a Few Months, U.S. Report Says.” That’s according to an initial classified intelligence assessment, which reportedly found that the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, quote “Did not collapse their underground buildings” and “set back Iran’s nuclear program by only a few months.” In fact, from all this reporting, a lot of it came out this afternoon, it turns out that much of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was moved before the strikes. Which destroyed little of the nuclear material. And, our own reporting, NBC News put an even finer point on it, saying, quote, “An initial assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency concludes that the U.S. airstrikes conducted over the weekend on Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites were not as effective as President Donald Trump said…” To state the obvious, claiming you obliterated Iran’s nuclear program doesn’t make it so, and it’s something that people then assess, including the military. But for Trump, it’s always about the one day of headlines, the one-word slogan, claiming victory right off the bat, about obfuscation and defiance being prioritized over facts, and that will continue, I expect, even in the face of these new facts. Takes for example, the statement released today by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, here’s what she had to say, “This alleged assessment is flat out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret,’ but was still leaked by an anonymous, low level, loser in the intelligence community.” Whew, there’s a lot to unpack there, a couple quick questions here. If the assessment is flat out wrong, why was it classified as top secret, as she also characterized it? And if it’s top secret, why do low level losers, as she called them, have access to it? Lots of questions there. Her statement obviously makes no sense. Of course it doesn’t, but we see this cycle constantly, Donald Trump says something, facts and reality say something else, and then his people have to kind of twist themselves into knots trying to explain why he’s right and we’re all, apparently, crazy.

In 1979, as crowds gathered in the streets of Iran to topple the shah, the New York Times ran an editorial describing Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as an “enigma.” Bernard Lewis was then America’s leading scholar on the Islamic world. He had read Khomeini’s works, many of which had been translated into English and were easily accessible.Far from an “enigma,” Lewis concluded that Khomeini possessed the virtue of candor (to put it mildly) and that in every respect he was a perfect lunatic. But Lewis had been largely discredited as a “racist,” so his offer to write a piece for the Times fell on deaf ears. An editor at the paper said that Lewis was merely a Zionist agent spreading disinformation.'Khomeini’s ambitions extended beyond Shiism. He wanted to be accepted as the leader of the Muslim world, period.'Among other things, Khomeini had written that girls should be married off before puberty (“Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house”). His own father — who was stabbed to death when Khomeini was a baby — married his mother when she was just 9 years old. Khomeini himself took his wife when she was 10 years old and had her pregnant by the age of 11. Khomeini blamed poverty in Iran on foreigners and Jews and argued that the idea of nationalism and nation-states was nothing but a Western plot to weaken Islam.At the heart of Khomeini’s program was conquest. In the words of Vali Nasr, one of the world’s leading authorities on Shia Islam:Khomeini’s ambitions extended beyond Shiism. He wanted to be accepted as the leader of the Muslim world, period. At its core, his drive for power was yet another Shia challenge for leadership of the Islamic world. He saw the Islamic Republic of Iran as the base for a global Islamic movement, in much the same way that Lenin and Trotsky had seen Russia as the springboard country of what was meant to be a global communist revolution.No price was too high to pay in the jihadist drive to create a Shiite caliphate. During the blood-soaked Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, an ayatollah named Mehdi Haeri Yazdi approached Khomeini, his mentor, while he was sitting alone on a rug in his garden facing a pool. The hopeless war was consuming hundreds of thousands of young lives, Yazdi said. Was there no way to stop the slaughter?Khomeini replied reproachfully, “Do you also criticize God when he sends an earthquake?”The economic costs of creating a caliphate were a secondary concern for Khomeini as well. He famously cried that “economics is for donkeys” and “the revolution was not about the price of watermelons.”Khomeini’s ideology lives onThis ideology continued long after Khomeini’s death in 1989. In 2021, a former senior Syrian official named Firas Tlass told an interviewer, “The Iranians have an authoritative plan to take control over the entire region.”Their strategy was as brilliant as it was simple. They went to any country that had Muslims and a political vacuum. There they set up a school system in which they indoctrinated children with their vision of violent, expansionist, radical Shiite Islam. Twelve short years later, they had legions of young fighters eager to do their bidding. The strategy was implemented in an arc of ruin that extended from Lebanon through the Levant and down to Yemen.The Iranians even attempted to gain a toehold on the European continent in the 1990s, in Kosovo. Tlass added that in the mid-2000s, former Iranian President Muhammad Khatami predicted, in a private conversation between the two, that in 20 years Iran would be the counterweight to the United States.This prophecy would be realized almost exactly 20 years later during the Gaza War, when the world got its first taste of the radical Shiite coalition. Tehran mobilized its multi-tenacle proxy army. Though Israel ultimately triumphed, as we have seen, the world got its first taste of the dangers of the would-be Shiite caliphate. RELATED: Only Trump had the guts to do what every president has promised Photo by BEHROUZ MEHRI/AFP via Getty ImagesThere was unprecedented shelling by Hezbollah, which rendered an entire region of Northern Israel uninhabitable. There was disruption of international shipping by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. And at the very moment that Iraq’s prime minister was in Washington hoping to negotiate a much-needed economic package, a Shiite militia in his country joined Iran’s April 13, 2024, assault that launched hundreds of rockets into Israel. A senior member of Iraq’s security forces named Abdul Aziz al-Mohammedawi made no secret of his allegiance to Iran and its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.A fundamental misunderstandingIn the face of this challenge, American allies in the region, and particularly the Saudis, were dumbfounded by Washington’s foolishness. Under the banner of “human rights,” the Biden administration undermined Saudi Arabia’s war against the Iranian-backed Houthis of Yemen. As a senior Saudi journalist put it, “You wouldn’t let us fight the Houthis, so now you have to.”Biden administration envoy Amos Hochstein reportedly offered Hezbollah an aid package to rebuild Southern Lebanon after the war, if the terror group agreed to stop firing into Israel. The administration should have slapped punishing sanctions on Lebanon’s battered economy the minute Hezbollah launched its first rocket.Even over 130 attacks on U.S. troops by Iranian proxies drew little or no response. On January 28, 2024, Iranian-backed militias killed three American troops stationed in Jordan. The Biden administration carried out a measured response in Iraq and Syria but left Iran out of the fray, even lifting sanctions to permit Tehran to raise oil exports from 300,000 barrels a day to 2 million.And then there was the Iran nuclear deal. Experts still debate how long it would have delayed Iran obtaining a bomb — the deal, by its very terms, only placed restrictions on Iran for 15 years — but all agree that it gave Tehran access to over $100 billion. To this President Obama said, “Our best analysts expect the bulk of this revenue to go into spending that improves the economy and benefits the lives of the Iranian people.” This statement showed a fundamental misunderstanding of Iranian priorities — a mistake the current Trump administration seems determined not to repeat.Editor’s note: This article has been adapted from Uri Kaufman’s latest book, “American Intifada: Israel, the Gaza War, and the New Antisemitism.”

Dean Cain’s father gave his son valuable advice at the dawn of his Hollywood career.“Don’t tell too much about yourself in interviews. Let them watch you on screen,” Cain recalls his father, veteran director Christopher Cain (“Young Guns,” “Pure Country”), sharing with him at the start of his Hollywood career.'My closest friends are teammates from Princeton,' he says. 'I know what they’re made of. ... You learn so much about people by being teammates with them.'Dean Cain heeded Dad’s wisdom … to a point. Cain learned firsthand the inequities of the nation’s divorce laws while fighting for joint custody of his then-young son. Later, he traveled the globe and gained perspective on his home country’s woes.It’s why he started speaking up on important issues and sharing his right-leaning views. It also explains his pivot to independent film projects over the past decade.“I’m sure it affected my career,” Cain tells Align of his political views. It’s a risk he was willing to take. “Not speaking up is crazy to me. … If you have something to say, speak the truth and hopefully make the world a better place.”From Superman to soccer coachCain continues to work steadily on film and TV projects, from faith-kissed stories (“God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust”) to his latest feature, an underdog sports story he wrote and directed.“Little Angels" opened nationwide earlier this month and continues to expand to new theaters — thanks to a feature on its website allowing users to request a screening in their area. The movie finds Cain playing a disgraced football coach forced to oversee a girls' soccer team. It’s the ultimate indignity for his character until he sets his mind to turning this ragtag bunch of athletes into winners.Cain’s fans may find his foray into screenwriting surprising, but he’s been telling stories ever since he was a boy. The “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” alum recalls his father nudging him to tap his creative side.A writer at heart“My dad started me as a writer,” Cain recalls, and he warmed to the task. “We’d go on vacation at our ranch house, and when it was raining, instead of watching TV I’d make up stories about our family.”He later wrote episodes of “Lois & Clark,” but his bustling acting career took precedence. “The demands on my time were intense,” he recalls.“Little Angels” allowed him to tap into that skill set, and along the way he leaned on the classic writing maxim.Write what you know. Pinnacle Peak PicturesTeam playerCain was a first-team All-American and two-time first-team All-Ivy for Princeton in the late 1980s and had a brief NFL career with the Buffalo Bills before a knee injury ended his gridiron dreams. He also ran track at Princeton and was its volleyball captain.He assembled his youthful cast amid pandemic restrictions, forcing him to skip chemistry reads and trust his instincts. The young girls bonded on the set, becoming faux teammates and real friends along the way.Cain knows the feeling.“My closest friends are teammates from Princeton,” he says. “I know what they’re made of, what they’re like in stressful situations. I know what their characters are like. You learn so much about people by being teammates with them.”“It’s akin to what happens in the movie. They learn to stick up for each other,” he adds.'Truth, justice, and the American way'Cain’s “Superman” days remain an indelible part of his legacy, and he remains invested in the character. He’s hoping James Gunn’s “Superman,” opening July 11, captures the Man of Steel he modeled his own performance on — the "aw, shucks" Christopher Reeve version seen in four films.RELATED: No Donald Trump ever called him 'Latinx' Lou Perez“He’s my Superman,” he says of the late actor, who captured the essence of the DC Comics superhero, a fictional character who means plenty to Cain. “He is truth and justice and the American way. That is really important. Hard work. Dedication. Being honorable. … I know it’s cynical now, but it still plays and resonates with many.”“Little Angels” marks Cain’s feature-length directorial debut, but he’s been soaking up information from film sets for decades.“I watched [my dad] go through his process as a director. He’d have to make his movies on a shoestring budget,” he says, adding that family members helped flesh out scenes along the way. He recalls his uncle holding a boom mic to make some scenes possible.“I’ve always been around it,” he says of the filmmaking craft. Now, he can’t wait to do it again.“I’m hooked. I want to keep doing it,” he says. “I like the process. It didn’t feel much like work.”
